Re: Spectating next release
A couple of spectate mode i deas.
-As far as I remember, the main reason for 10 player/spec limit was that it was believed to be unnecessary to have more than 2 spectators in a 8p game. Seeing as we almost have to beat each other up for spec slots on TS nowadays, would it be possible to extend the spec limit?
-It would surely be hard to do, but would it be possible to not treat specs like players, and for example let them get out of sync? This would likely be necessary if we plan to have a lot more specs which might mean more lags etc.
-Assuming above is done, could it be possible to let specs join without returning to lobby somehow? Pauses related to specs are quite annoying.
