Hi, ArenaNet

Faolain here again. My friend Z O R A and I were discussing possibilities, and a few ideas came up that might merit some consideration.

a) A Skill Queue crawl in Spectator Mode, while watching certain characters. This would help shoutcasters identify certain skills by tooltip and ease the transition of eSport viewers into the complex hot mess that is GW2 tPvP.

b) An aerial view of characters that is much more “zoomed out” than the max zoom at the moment. It would definitely make shoutcasting easier.

c) A mechanical change: the ability to switch specs upon character death in tPvP, to adapt to an opponent’s strategy. Just being able to access gear tabs within a limited amount of time pre-respawn would greatly augment a team’s ability to react to particular strategies. It would also ease the burden on certain classes to be pidgeonholed into certain specs, due to the uncertainty of matchups in tPvP queue.
