Guild Wars 2

WTS showed once again the need for a replay system. I don’t blame the casters for the shallow shoutcasting as conquest is way too fastpaced and the action is nearly always split over the map (could use the vid in vids like DPS though).

We need acces to these games and other high MMR games to be able to spectate all the different POVs from the players, etc. There are so many plays, jukes happening in those games which makes it a shame we can’t give those the attention they deserve.

You could make ’em available for a week or two ingame, like the spectator mode in GW1.

Anet pls.

I’d like a replay system so we can find out who is speedhacking in PvP.

I’d say the casting was rather good (even if I personally don’t like Jebro’s style). Like you mentioned, the game is so fast-paced that by the time you get into details of what one player has done (jukes or whatnot), you miss out on several other things.
This style, commentating on what’s actually happening on the screen is imo the only style that fits the current pace of the matches.
PiP would be indeed a nice addition though.

However, I do agree that we need some more in-depth reviews aswell.
A possible good way to do it would be to have some veteran players/experts on the show who’d in breaks point out and analyze the clutch plays that helped X team retaliate/come back into the game. Replay the footage and pause/etc to commentate on what has actually happened.

I remember on Forest at that mid wipe of Abjured near Keep when the casters said “what happened?”. Can’t blaim them, too many things going on at the same time, but this is exactly what analyzes should point out as I’m sure the viewers, too, would like to know what’s happened.
This would not only make it more interesting for experienced players to listen to these commentaries, but would also help the beginner playerbase understand more about what went down in the match.

That’s said, the breaks between maps are currently too short to do this, so I’m not sure where could it be squeezed in.
