Guild Wars 2

Has there been any news on this the past 6 months or what?
I heard the devs talk about competitive Gw2 PvP and whatnot, so where is the spectator mode and replay system?

Everyone knows you can’t do a competitive game unless you have at least a spectator system and replay system, make it happen.

Edit: Sad part is, I saw a Gw player mention that GW had replays and spectator, and yet Gw2 does not..

Maybe in spvp but not wvw.

GW had a lot of features that were great, which didn’t make it into gw2.

Guild battles and attainable titles, random arenas that you could just jump into, savable builds, guild rosters that told you when people had been online, etc etc.

I doubt it’ll ever be available for wvw. Doesn’t seem like something that could work properly with how the game mechanics are set up.

It would be nice though to have some sort of free-roaming camera or even making your character invisible on your own screen (just like hide UI CTRH+SHIFT+H) so people can actually make some decent machinima.

There as an interview with some devs and they mentioned a spectator mode for sPvP and tPvP — it’s one of those things they said they’d like to do at some point. From the various interviews I listened to and watched it seems Arena Net has two lists: One is of things they are putting time on and the second is one of stuff they want to put in the game but aren’t spending time on it currently. I got the impression spectator mode was definitely on list #2. But hey, at least it’s on the list.

I guess its doable on a hourly basis.
