You can see whats in peoples bags and their equipment?

I feel....violated lol. I thought it was just a matter of you running around and stuff lol. Being able to see the contents of their bags is a bit much.

Naa Observers have no communication with the person they are observing.

All that happens is Game information is duplicated and sent to the observers at the same time the information is being sent to the observed, (Private messages are not sent)

Missing stats on Observer fixed on reboot.

Can you enforce Observer mode during Alpha? :)

Would be nice to see some parts of the server without having to burn myself lvling.

Is the intention here to improve transparency (for security/ 'cheating' fears)? Seems a very odd system to add in for anything other than that, when you consider the reward for having it turned on too.

Think it's a damn good idea myself, just asking for interest.

Can't you just use this feature for PK? I know the person can toggle it off but still....

It's an interesting feature but one I personally don't like, hmmmm.

So basically this new feature will mean I forget to level myself and just become a safezone ***** observing everyone :applouse:

Well,

It's part of one of systems that I want to add, recording of Sabuk/MudWall so people can watch / rewatch wars (will be archived and then watchable on demand rewind/fast forward etc...

It doubles up as an "Anti-Cheat" mechanic... if someone is saying this guy is cheating because he's leveling too fast, there is a high chance said person has the feature turned on so people can watch.

It helps when watching for balance as I can see from their perspective.

finally, I want to play when the server goes live, assuming that is the case when the server goes live I will have this always on so people can watch if they think I am doing anything suspicious. (If Shane plays his will always be forced on).


Aside from these reasons, I think its great fun to watch, especially when people kill bosses.

It can be used for that, but that's up to the person to decide, which is also why No Body/Bag drops will be on the server.

Will this be your character, or actually you ?

Yup,

Might also add it to some of the more trusted users as well (sort of like we have forum moderators).

Hmmm 60% of players wanted PK drops, useless poll?

Do you intend to add some sort of incentive to PK? (honour, pk points etc)
