Watch Battles

[beta7]

I think it would be cool if you could watch other people's battles...I've seen a couple high ranking people I'd love to have watched fight it out....sorry if this has already been discussed, I searched and couldn't find anything on it..

The problem with watching matches is that it would lead to people copying formations, setting formations specifically to counter other's formations and overall bad ju-jus.

It's not too bad of an idea other than that.

I searched and couldn't find anything on it..

You obviously didn't search very far, considering that this is mentioned in the sticky at the top of the page.

This is the case in all strategy games, like chess. You get better from watching others. There is nothing wrong with that. I would like to see it available like yahoo! chess or something so you can view people's battles. I understand your concern, but its not like there is some super secret position that no one is allowed to know about.

here's what DFG was pointing out to u noob. Its important for u to read the stickies at the top of sections so u can get a grasp for what has been suggested many, many, many, times before.

Here shall be the master list of Suggestions and it shall be edited as more of them are seen.

1. The ability to watch/spectate games.

as u can see...this suggestion is riiight at the top of the list. Pls at least pretend that ur a smart guy and check read the sticky at the top of this section next time.

edit: as a side note, this might surprise, but this has been a hotly discussed topic before ur arrival (yes..ppl thought of this before u). The conclusion was that the game code can't currently support such a feature which means the game would need to be entirely re-written to support it. (if I'm off base on this, one of the other reg posteres correct me)

another helpful comment...I already adressed the issue of the fact that I apologized for it if it was already listed in my original comment, so I had already taken care of the fact that I could have made a mistake and even apologized for it before he even made the comment. Pointless, as is yours.

[Megabyte]

a simpler thing would be to admit a "oops, I didn't really search for this before, sry."

ur apology is not very meaningful when u claim u searched for this suggestion when u obviously did not.

and in case u havn't caught on kid, pointless doesn't begin to describe this whole section :) much less this thread.

Okay guys simmer down, naw!

Beta7, this idea has been suggested more than everything else. There is a sticky of ideas that have been overly suggested in this forum, and in the Create-A-Unit forum. Next time, try to check out the Stickies at the tops of forums, or else you'll get flamed.

The reason this couldn't work, like Megabyte said, is the maker of the game would have to make so many changes to the game, it would inconvenience him, and the players. Therefore losing him money, and making the players agitated. The only possible way this could work, is if it was a clan feature. This way you can only view clan battles, so there's no foul play.

DFG, Mega, try to be more nice to the new guys :)
