Forgive me for "fishing for support" but I just thought I'd link it here in hopes you guys will get the chance to read it. http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/t87ba/the_importance_of_a_spectator_mode_in_guild_wars_2/ There was a "spectator" mode implemented in the early years of GW1, it was basically a replay ~15 minutes after it had been played out, but you were able to watch the top HoH, GvG battles. With the recent upsurge in E-sports, i hardly think they would leave it out of GW2, considering its focus around PvP? I dont see a reason to doubt them tbh. Anybody else have input? Pref someone who's played the beta with similar specs? I want to pre-order soon but not if she's going to be screwed :3 | ||

If you read my post, I quote one of the Game Designers on saying that there will be a spectator mode eventually. My point in the write-up is to try to encourage Arenanet to make it a priority. GW1s spectator mode came much later than it should have. It did come out in the vanilla game before any expansions, but the interest stagnated as a result of it being done later than it should have. I say this having only played Prophecies GW1 and being active in following the higher level PVP community at the time, so I can't say how things worked out when the expansions came along. I just know that had spectator mode come out much sooner, I believe it would have grown a lot faster. | ||

It was ok for the first 10 or so times, but got really boring really fast. And it wastes a lot of time. At the bottom of the screen are two buttons, "Next" and "Skip to End". Problem solved. | ||

Playing through the PvE? Oh god its like a real time MtG puzzle game. With walking. Most of the HoM nonsense looks extremely daunting for someone who just wants to solo his way with eye of the north heroes. Least I've got something to do besides play tribes and natural selection 2. Preordered GW2 after seeing a bunch of beta videos. I so very much hope they scatter more jumping puzzles and other merits of exploration all around the map. | ||

Ahm, I loved the PrimQuest-Mission System in GW1. The story you could play (I played norn, because I won't play them on release and didn't want me to spoiler) was more like an intro to me (at least for the first 20 Levels). To much of (more or less) boring fill-ins very much like Istan in GW1 (god, I love the storytelling in GW1 but I hate Istan grinding start). But it is only the beginning, I'm guessing it will get a whole lot better. Friends of mine also said, that the human story is far far better than the norn one without giving me any spoiler. On one hand this grants hope on the other hand it feels wrong, because all races should have even epic stories. We will see, at least I'm looking forward to epic stories after the introlevels. | ||

Thanks for information, is anyone else excited for the stress test open gameplay today? | ||
