First off, new to this forum so hey all :P

Second, just wanted to hear what ppl thought about this idea. When you die it's kind of hard to move around to watch your allies fight. Usually when you get in the right spot they've moved around more. Was thinking (for those that have played and know what I'm talking about) about a Quake III spec style. You can move around in the air freely instead of having a birds eye view following that person and having to zoom in, scroll, etc. I like to move about and check out the detail of my allies characters, the swords, shields, armor, etc. Dunno if this is a good idea but just wondering.

Or maybe there is something that turns this off and I haven't found it yet :P , lemme know

Well, when you die, you have the option of clicking on the health bars of one of the characters still alive in your party. When you click on these bars your camera switches on them, I'm not sure if you can rotate the camera, but I'm pretty sure you can zoom in and out around your teammate. Also you get to view their mini-map, which is great for helping out that last person alive, trying to run for the nearest gate.

Ya you can view another player but its sort of limited. Being able to just move freely would be a lot easier. Don't change anything else, still can have the mini-map, just be able to move in/out, side to side easier and simultaneously.

but then you could tell your team what they're planning, so it wouldnt be a lot worse really

Ya, the reason it is limited is so that you cannot ghost.

I'm guessing ghosting is going around and scouting any part of the map you want? Anyways it doesn't have to be make it free roaming for the whole map, just the area/battle field.

close, you ahve the idea, but most hardcore pvp players knwo the maps. its more an issue of seeing whats going on in the map. eg, you die and are waiting for res and youl see other team wandering around a back gate to attack your guild lord in a GvG mathc. you tell your team that theyre coming even if theyre not visable to your team on the map and their plan is destroyed
