Guild Wars 2

ArenaNet please make a spectate client so we can watch the players of our server in WvW. Just like in sPVP

With this I can spend my fun time in my WvW que

no because that will lead to spying and therefore griefing. people already have to run tagless because of it.

To be fair, that would be an amazing idea, but you shouldn’t be able to spectate your server’s match. Say you have 6 servers (A B C D E F) and the current Match ups are AvBvC and DvEvF, you are from server B and you’re waiting in a queue, you shouldn’t be able to spectate AvBvC but you can spectate DvEvF since it would have almost no effect on your server or the opposing server

It would increase lag considerably since you’ll have to connect to a separate server and receive packets of information from another matchup. People could just ruin another server’s matchup by simply getting a large force to spectate them.

Why a large force? I’m pretty sure you’ll have very low numbers of spectators, say 20 max

Just make the spectate client delay, let say 1 hour. GG spying

It would be a nice feature but as others have stated, there would be hway to much spying griefing.

In GW1 you could spectate 8v8 and guild wars (imagine, a guild wars game with actual guild wars…) but they had a time delay (was put in later) to counter “spying” uses.

However, even given that, spectating WvW would be rather boring.
