So. out of all of the coding in v8 will it have a spectator mode? It's been planned by MAIET since day one, like snipers but no one ever got it to work.
Shouldnt this be relatively easy just by re purposing the /hide command GMs already use in combination of the VIP sort of code to join/watch full rooms.

It's a terrible thing, I think, in life to wait until you're ready.
I have this feeling now that actually no one is ever ready to do anything.
There is almost no such thing as ready. There is only now.
And you may as well do it now. Generally speaking, now is as good a time as any.

That's because it is a nice feature, and fights get spectated more than you think. Specifically in 1v1s when people have to rejoin every round. If everyone already does it, theres no actual chance of it being abused any more than already possible, that's just a poor argument for declining it.
In Gladiator there isnt any need to tell people where they are hiding because there is no hiding, everyone is out in the open on the same playing field. It may not be as common in gunning to 1v1 with an audience but its still a thing too. Spectator mode would be like duel mode already is, except no one would be joining into the fight. Do you see people abusing the duel mode spectator, or TDM spectator for joining a round? Rarely, if ever.
There can be spectator mode available for few mods like Duels and few others where it wont affect much on on-going game. There can be this development that the spectators cant talk and Hp/Ap is hidden for them. But yes, Conveying players places can be a problem.
Yeah CWs, which are unspectable with no late join. The only case of heavy abuse has been in CW like DDOSing so theres practically no real water to use "abuse" as a reason to decline a spectator mode because no one cares outside of CW.
Good idea, and the feature of hiding HP/AP and chat is already coded into the replays with pressing the "h" key.
