Glorious Alpha Two Testers!

Alpha Two testing is currently taking place five days each week. More information about Phase II and Phase III testing schedule can be found here

If you have Alpha Two, you can download the game launcher here, and we encourage you to join us on our Official Discord Server for the most up to date testing news.

Would this be a feature you'd use?

The ability to log into a different server as an observer, like a free-roaming camera, and just fly through the world just to see how the players built up their nodes in a different way.

    That would be pretty op for sieges...

    It's not something I personally would do but I would be cool to see a node vs node fight on another server

    The dead do not squabble as this land’s rulers do. The dead have no desires, petty jealousies or ambitions. A world of the dead is a world at peace

    The problem is that a guild doing the siege could just get someone to do the spectating and tell them the detail about their defences ^^'

    Oh I agree but you could have it as a reply after the fight ^^

    Would this not give too much information that other players can destroy it easier?
    Reminder to stay on topic

    That would be really nice @Nagash.
    Another thing would be that Sieged cities would be impossible to see in spectator mode^^

    Assume the feature is disabled during sieges or that it has all the necessary mechanisms in-built to prevent abuse (maybe it's zoomed out at a fixed level...come to think of it, people could just post images of their world map if it shows icons for cities/settlements etc.)

    @Seaber I don't mean it as a dev request, just a fun hypothetical.
  • DevorandomDevorandom Member, Leader of Men, Kickstarter, Alpha One, Alpha Two, Early Alpha Two
    Probably not, unless I wanted to make a video.

    I really like to have options of REPLAY in-game.
    In ashes they possibly can realize that by making server register interesting events and copy that part of map for later watching of recording that will be sent somewhere. Good for post event analysis. Guys from DCN can even do podcasts on stuff like that :)

    Exactly my thoughts. Some people would find a way to exploit bases layout and such for sieges.

    I'd rather just have a blog post or monthly recap with all the variations from server to server. That's an easier task for the devs/community and it can't be exploited.
