But rather than making it all or nothing, I think players also deserve the ability to choose if and when they want to be seen battling.Quintessencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12223526554154949051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388700860822911526.post-57911487302492445682013-05-01T01:13:02.609-07:002013-05-01T01:13:02.609-07:00@Anonymous: I don't think spectate mode will a...@Anonymous: I don't think spectate mode will affect you if you're actually in a battle. If there are a ton of others battling around you, though, it might cause some lag as you pick pet attacks/abilities. Could be frustrating =\Quintessencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12223526554154949051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388700860822911526.post-44090491511397996222013-05-01T01:11:14.395-07:002013-05-01T01:11:14.395-07:00@Heartfruit: That's a really good point!

Many people battling in a small area... could get messy quick.<br /><br />I don't know the technical details behind spectate mode, but I imagine having so many companions out and involved in battles all at once would be taxing on the server.Quintessencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12223526554154949051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388700860822911526.post-57014506902772896392013-05-01T01:09:20.264-07:002013-05-01T01:09:20.264-07:00@Rioriel: Unless I knew the player, I don't th...@Rioriel: Unless I knew the player, I don't think I'd want to stop and stare at their battle either. If someone invites me to watch, sure. But other than that, I would feel awkward and almost as if I'm intruding/invading their personal space.Quintessencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12223526554154949051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388700860822911526.post-43794767282976356302013-04-30T14:02:43.744-07:002013-04-30T14:02:43.744-07:00I hadn't thought about the pvp angle, as I pla...I hadn't thought about the pvp angle, as I play on a pve server. My first thoughts when I heard about this were positive, as I've had nearby people try to recruit me for other activities when I was in the middle of a battle, as it looked like I was just standing around. At least in 5.3 it will be obvious what I'm doing!Gormanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11505086071356574961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388700860822911526.post-51240708591546023262013-04-30T08:47:51.208-07:002013-04-30T08:47:51.208-07:00I would be concerned about visual clutter in popul...I would be concerned about visual clutter in popular areas too. Any of the dailies could have multiple players all spawned in the same location. At the moment they aren't visible while battling but with this there will just be a big stack of them. Hopefully it won't cause any visibility for your own battle as at the moment anything that moves closes phases out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388700860822911526.post-86140488082385697612013-04-30T04:26:32.430-07:002013-04-30T04:26:32.430-07:00Quite frankly, I don't really think watching o...Quite frankly, I don't really think watching others battle will be much fun and I'm worried about the visual clutter in popular areas.Heartfruithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18061836927855850000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388700860822911526.post-53895487828452995362013-04-30T02:15:51.578-07:002013-04-30T02:15:51.578-07:00I'm that very rogue who stealthy ALL THE TIME ...I'm that very rogue who stealthy ALL THE TIME and just spends most of his non-raid time alone pottering about, and pet battling. Like you say, it's at my pace, my own mini game and I can come and go as I like, with the little sense of achievement every single battle.<br /><br />Forced spectator mode sounds the silliest of ideas. Absolutely great for those of us who try guild tournaments Riorielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00904892401906279960noreply@blogger.com
