Is instant replay an option?

Let's say I'm not home tomorrow, but I do sign on the next day, only to find my city is destroyed and my freehold has been burned to the ground. Is there a way to replay the battle so I can see what happened? I just want to watch it.

    Possible? Yes. (Static cams, limited view angles, limited and random action, little to no post production/editing, streamed to the cloud, etc.)

    Developer time intensive? Definitely.

    Available at launch or as an early feature add? Would bet against it.

    In success anything is possible.

    Definitely would be a waste of development time. Youll know when a siege or something is happening as there is a declaration period. Either turn up or miss out.

    Hmm... yeah, I guess so.

    You may be able to find some details in a library, see bold section of the spoiler, but a video replay would very likely only be available from external sources (youtube/twitch).

    That certainly sounds like a good feature to have that I would like to see but I fear Morashtak may be right here. But I would like to see on a stream steven answer this. He could surprise us he has before. :)

    If your node and castle are gone the next time you log in, chances are someone streamed it or has it on video. Large scale sieges aren't going to happen every other day. But yeah, a replay option somewhere down the line would be nice

    I think sieges will happen everyday. I don't think anyone will get to metropolis for a long time after many alliances are formed. People love to fight.

    Won't it most likely be noted in a scientific node from what I've read? :)

    I want to see the battle, but I guess someone will stream the battle and I can watch that.

    I imagine any time there's a node siege there are going to be quite a few people streaming the siege from all angles. May take a while to sift through all the footage but that's likely a better option than having the developers working on an in game system.

    Something like Fortnites replay system, that would be quite nice. It could be great as a learning mechanism for squads to improve upon.

    I'm personally against this. A log is enough.
    You wouldn't be able to "replay" a battle you weren't participating in irl if you didn't have some kind of recorded footage from someone else (streams, in this case).

    Edit:
    Corrected steams into streams a.k.a. twitch/youtube.

    I mistyped streams into "steams".
    Twitch replays is what I meant.

    Why wouldn't you want to watch the battle? If you sign on and your freehold is burned down wouldn't you be curious as to what happened?
