Players ask why WoW's Arena doesn't have spectators |
Ó
An interesting point has just been raised by players over at the official World of Warcraft community site. A lot of them are wondering if there's a possibility of Blizzard adding a "watch mode" at the Arena in the future. You know, players will come to the place not just to fight but just to also watch the best players slug it out.
This, somewhat reminds me of the PlayStation 2 video game .hack G.U. To those not familiar with the title, it's a "simulated MMORPG" from Namco Bandai. In that game, there's a special server that caters to PvP environments much similar to WoW's Arena. The good thing about that server is that other players are encouraged to watch other matches.
Anyway, the suggestion was really interesting and thankfully, it was picked up by Blizzard forum moderator Drysc. According to him, this feature has long been in Blizzard's mind. As much as they want to implement it in the near future, there are certain considerations to be made first,
There's a lot of UI and technical development involved, and some hurdles to cross with how we would like such a feature be implemented. In any case it's something that's been kicked around since the inception of the Arena system, along with the possibility of replays, use of team flag designs, etc.
This, when implemented, will really boost the popularity of WoW's Arena matches. Imagine high-end teams battling each other in a lie-or-die environment. We have to say that it's definitely worth watching, not to mention the fact that it will give winners a somewhat celebrity status.
