Guild Wars 2

I’m sure it’s not really easy to develop but at the same time i think is a very crucial feature to push GW2 PvP to higher level.

This is for several reasons:

Spectator POV

the game is really hard to follow during a twitch match, it’s very fast and casters lose A LOT of crucial details who make the difference. So I think a tool to underline many things in the game (with slowmotion) is super important. AT the same time conquest requires to follow the game on 3 nodes at the same time and is super hard to do this with only 1 camera. Always for this reason, a replay mode to watch other nodes (after the game, like to underline a crucial 1vs1) is super imporant.

Players POV

A replay mode is super important to players to understand (finally) how this game works. There is a super general no knowledge about a lot of details to improve this game. Or you have friends at high level and you play and have practice with them to know every high aspects of this pvp or basically your knowledge about the pvp is very very far from truth. I have this experience every day when people speak about 1vs1 matchup balance and there are so many false infos around (just an example). So watching high tier games from every pov can help everyone to improve and push the game at higher level.

A replay mode is better than any tutorial, is always “actual” and follow the meta in every instant.

Think about it, you (anet) push a lot of money in Pro league and i think is in very good state like format and everything else (Except for camera issues, I mean I like Jebro but i think the other guy (in general) should be a super experience player with high knowledge analysis, like Helseth, for example and Ofc a Replay mode can help everyone). But you had basically no improvement in spectators (I’d say a loss from tournament of legend).

This is basically because

- PvP Side of the game is not really well advertised (you can do better for sure)
- People need to understand this game.

Just my 2 cents ofc but i think you can’t have any improvement if people don’t understand (and like) this game.

I think this feature + a build template (and using meta builds like matcmaking parameters) can help really a lot.
