EPTIt would be great to use for high-level Pro matches, or even allow other pros to take over and try where their teammates failed/succeeded...
have there been any cool replays or situations with Resume from Replay yet?

i would also imagine that it would help pros train a lot more efficiently because instead of starting every game from scratch they could start from a certain time in the game and play in a specific situations multiple times in a row. im not sure there's going to be any tournaments that allow redos, unless of-course someone lagged out, or let someone switch with their teammate to play the same game. seems like a kind of weird idea | ||

There is a difference between "Take Command" where you replace the original players and "Recover Game" which requires the original players to be put back in their slots to resume an interrupted game. The latter is what is being used in tournaments. I assume the OP is referring to the "Take Command" function? | ||

1. Coming back in from a dc. Pro players have the time and extended thought to do it again. watching the qxc game today on shoutcraft, would he have done what he did to defend the attack in the first place? We will never know. Qxc had time to assess his situation (not only did tb and greg commentate possible ways to get out of this situation) and do the best possible job 2. Ive replayed my own games and won on the second time! (nearly every time ive resumed)this alone means that even me, not as good as the pros can think it out and get the maximum out fo what i had Its great that we can do it ,not saying anything about that but resuming from replay for me is a shitty way to go in my opinion if its to be resumed during a timed battle | ||

It is not backwards compatible, so it does not work. | ||

I wish you could choose and make it all black and then the host could just get vision or something. As far as I know, "Recover Game" does not reveal anything while the engine renders the game up to the resume point? I think only "Take Command" does that. | ||

Yes, you are right. It did happen once in a tourney where noob admins used 'Take Command' to recover a game so players were like 'wtf idiots we can see everything' ^_^ Not sure which tournament it was though. Some casters (e.g., TotalBiscuit I remember) didn't help either by consistently calling it 'Take Command' when referring to 'Recover Game' when HotS was just out. Some people just genuinely didn't know about the Recover Game feature or how to access it and in their defense right clicking on a replay is somewhat obscure as right click context menus are hardly used in the entire Bnet UI. But as you said, doing 'Recover Game' will just show a loading screen when the game is being fast forwarded so players won't see anything. | ||

And ya. it was kinda funny O_o. | ||

It doesn't require original players. This is the feature people use if they just want to mess around and continue a pro game or whatever. 2. Recover Game - This requires the original 2 players and everything is hidden. This is what tournaments should always use unless they're noobs and use the take command feature by mistake. | ||

That was a really annoying issue especially if you needed to resume from the middle of a battle and couldn't afford to spend the time resetting them. Judging by the in-game chat after they had recovered that one qxc vs Kane game in Shoutcraft America last night, they still haven't fixed it yet. Snute also mentioned it recently on Twitter, so I guess it wasn't in the last big patch: Jens Waller Aasgaard @LiquidSnute 9 May I hope no serious tournament will force me to use Recover Game, its bugged. BaseCamera hotkey viewframe dislocated far up, 2months no fix =( 2:28 AM - 9 May 13 · Details Such a shame that it takes Blizzard so long to fix such a great feature. As for the other feature, "Take Command" (which tournaments should NEVER EVER use to recover a competitive game), I believe it was showcased in the launch event for Heart of the Swarm where players who lost could replay from a chosen point where they thought they could turn things around. A popular term being thrown around back then was that it's "Best of 3 of 1". Mentioned here by Day9 and Husky: Then again, you would think that even here "Recover Game" would have been the better choice. Maybe they also confused the two features again, who knows. | ||
