I just started PWI not too long ago so i dont know if PWI already has this.

but i think it would be nice if there was a option for everyone on the server was able to watch a TW battle.

having the non combatants say turn into a ghost watching the battle below as it takes place, so they can move though out the feild. but the 2 fighting sides cant see the spectators.

This will give alot of the newer ones a good Idea how alot of the PvP is all about, and the Older ones a way to learn new moves and working better as a team.

I've moved here after playing D/A/o/C for almost 10 years lol, and one thing that did help me was watching the PvP/RvR battle movies :+)

b:bye

    i think it doesnt have it cause game engine simply dont support, i can be wrong
    genesis (r.i.p.) ===> conqueror (r.i.p.) ===> zen (r.i.p.) ===> iam (r.i.p.) ===> guardianz (r.i.p.) ===> spectral ===> essence

    that would sound nice for ppl that never saw TW
    but for the ppl fighting would be like
    10.000 ppl watching think create some lagg into the fight

    but like a TW TV channel would be more interesting i think b:chuckle
    Noobs dont PK on cube entrance
    or i may hurt you in self defence

    EXCELLENT IDEA...

    It should be a TW arena with an area off to the side where spectators can stand around cheering ppl on.

    The whole TW thing atm is just so fail imo. I have no desire to participate unless we get to turn it into a sport where fans can participate by cheering their favorite factions on. I think I'd join a faction that TW's if that was the case.

    this suggestion is FTW

    That would be really good, but as VenomSara said it would create lag... extreme lag.

    Imagine all those people in the same place.... It would be like trying to do TW in west archosaur, but so much worse b:sad

    I would be fine with this, but how would they decide where the camera would be? In the defender's base, in the attacker's base, in the middle of B, or somewhere else?

    I guess they could record at strategic points in the TW...but they'd still miss a large amount.

    The moving around is a good idea if it wouldn't cause so much lag. I lag a ton in TW as it is, thanks. b:surrender

    In quite a few fps games, when you die you get a deathcam of some sort. You're viewing things in kind of an omniscient view and you can move around and stuff without your character actually being present.

    Wonder if that's possible here ?_?

    At the very most, get someone in the fight to record it and post it on youtube.

    Atleast not live view.

    Fac A sets 1 person to live view the base of fac B. Et voila, a spy who can move around freely telling it's own faction what's happening WITHOUT costing a person who can fight

    That, and ofcourse lagg of a LOT of invisible persons inside the map

    Hehe, Tw is already Laggy enough xD.. West archosaur lag while in Tw, that sounds about right. If you want to see Tw :3 Level up a character, join a Tw faction.. And DO tw.. I didn't see Tw for the first time until i was inside it.

    No, this just leads to lag and spying on other guild's, possibly even an enemy's, strategies, roster, etc. TW doesn't need more than 160 people inside the instance.

    I like the idea. One way to implement this with as minimal lag inside the instance as possible would be to have an NPC that, for a price (can't expect the show to be for free & we all know PWE is money hungry), allow you to become a "ghost" on the battlefield. The ghost would be invisible, unable to attack/use skills & can freely roam around the area.

    Aadi be thinking too much like a human.

    it doesn't has to be a 1st person camera.
    just record the entire battlefield down to the trees and grass.
    then let people walk around the map themselves.
    or mayhaps even a 3rd person sky view from above/side/etc.

    wont be too much lag if only 50 spectators are allowed to enter and it had a 100k coins fee.

    Sounds like guildwars. Exists there with a few minutes delay so people cant see tactics and tell their guildies.

    In Team Fortress Classic World Championship tournee you could see the whole match live from start to end with even a commentator. There was a live feed to a server, which distributed it as video feed forward to spectators.

    Spying via this can be dealt with putting lag with the actual action and what people can see. The camera could be a GM flying around in a invisible ghost mode and thus act as a director.

    50 is too many and 100k is too little.

    Make it 50m entrance fee and 30% goes to losing faction, 60% to winning faction, and 10% as a coin sink. b:chuckle

    Despite that joke, I'm still against this idea.
