Guild Wars 2

Recently a dev said in a thread that spectator mode is a higher priority then a dueling system and arena/deathmatch. atm paid tournaments are dead except on weekends, whats the use of spectator mode if theres noone to watch?
i do not know a single mmo without a dueling system but if aanet wants less people to quit the game dueling and deathmatch/arenas should be a higher priority than spectator mode.

Aanet will probably spend a month on a fancy spectator client and by then it wont even be used because everyone will have quit the game/pvp.

I think when spectator mode is live the “pro” players will have more motivation to play the game so other can spectate them and they can show off or something thus motivating the people watching them to train harder and so on and I think it would be a great addition to the sPvP

I like how everyone gracefully ignores the fact that along with spectating, custom arenas will be available, effectively giving you one huge arena to duel in, all you’d like.

Gw2, like diablo 3, is too good to have PvP finished by launch.

Meh, theres a laundry list of things to fix before gw2 pvp is ready. Does it really matter what order theyre done in? The game was a let down, it died, they’ll either fix everything and then dump money into getting it streamed to cause a come back, or they’ll cut staff to minimal levels so they dont waste too much more money on this investment and move on.

If a, come back when others do, game will suck until then anyway
If b, be glad you moved on

I do see theyre hiring more people, so it looks like theyre maybe giving a a go

I don’t see where the game was a let down, but each to their own I guess.

I would love a spectator mode. I agree with SameHH.

I just hope it works well when it comes out.
