3 Observer Mode Suggestions
1. Display energy levels as well as health levels in the translucent party display and/or the opaque party windows.
2. Allow "save as.." or "save replay" etc. some kind of recording method or some such ability that can be used to watch the same thing later - maybe another heading in observer mode called "Saved Matches".
3. A standalone non-gaming functionality observer mode exe that is free. eg. you goto www.guildwars.com/Observer/ download the observer utility, all it does is give you access to currently running matches to watch - it provides no gaming capability - no other functionality other than to watch matches currently in progress - and matches saved/recorded.
i think i could easily get a bunch of friends playing guildwars instead if i could just link them to a demonstration of some high quality pvp action, without the tediousness of recording to avi, zipping, hosting, etc.
if you added a 'rate this match' type thing after a match is finished - ie. a popup says 'if you would like to rate this match plz press an option 1-5 where 5 is the best'. then each week have a 'match of the week' which is recorded and downloadable on the website or something, so potential gamers could see what its all about.
okay that was prolly closer to like 5 suggestions, but yeah, thats all i can think of for now.

except for 3, thats just more work for designers and i dont find it usefull for myself. If those people are friends then you can aswell get them over to your house and watch the battle on your pc wich has GW installed.

I actually came to the site this morning specifically to suggest something like 2.
So, /signed (for all suggestions here, not just 2).
However, I'd like to extend the suggestion.
What I'd like is the ability to save a replay of any match in which I participate.
A. This should work regardless of the venue - CA/TA/HoH/GvG.
B. I should be given the option to save once the match is over. And by 'match' I mean any single team fight - so if my team wins and we're waiting for the next match to begin, we'd need to option right then to save the previous match.
C. The entire match should be saved.
D. When viewing a replay, there should be basic VCR-like controls (start over, fast forward, etc). Something like what Warcraft III provides.
Personally, I'd find this more useful than the current Observer mode. Sure, it's fun, and you can learn from it, but I think we'd learn a lot more from studying matches we were in.
Thanks.

I like the idea, but why build a screen capture into the game? Just get a video capture tool and record it yourself.

/not signed. You're asking for too much. Only way I'd see it possible is for it to record fights and save them to your computer seperately from their site. But then again, you can already get the stuff to do it, so why should they even bother? How about you get up off your fat ass and get the software to record this stuff if it's so important to you.

You're gonna get a lump of coal in 2 days.
The Observer.exe could be used as a browser plugin. When your guild has a battle, you could show it on your website.

/signed to those might req some work but if Anet is willing to do it ok
Also I really want the ability to watch my guildies fight in gvg but we're not Rank +100 so I can't
Mybe an option for joining as an observer should be included.

1. I would like this, but it is not really needed
2. FRAPs will do this. I have recorded a couple of good matches EnS vs iQ last night, woot!! We do not need to take up bandwidth for this thing. Let's keep it simple.
3. I like the idea, but I am greedy and do not want to give up bandwith for it. If anyone wants to be convinced to buy this game send them to me , unless the do not fix the bridges.

Allow observance of Hall of Heroes battles even when a rank 100 or below guild isn't there. That's my only complaint :/
