That's gotta cost them some server capacities. It took them a long time to come up with the feature, what we are watching is essentially a replay that gets consistently updated by the server. I guess they could release replays now but are waiting to spread out the awesome. | ||

and I am I the only one thinking that this timeshift thing means that we're getting close to replays? | ||

Maybe. Depending on how they're doing spectator mode though, if they do replays the same way the replay files will be enormous. Although, since they have a way to do the timeshift-thing without completely destroying their servers, then maybe they ARE close. | ||

This sounds like the first thing you make sure of when producing such a feature, since pretty much everyone would rather have no spectator feature then lag ingame. | ||

This sounds like the first thing you make sure of when producing such a feature, since pretty much everyone would rather have no spectator feature then lag ingame. There's no reason why the main server would have to be slowed down by additional spectators, given that it's pretty much a read-only interaction (you're not modifying the game world by spectating, unlike the players). IIRC there's also a delay between actual game and what you're seeing, which makes it even much simpler technically to spread the load to unrelated servers. | ||
