Anet, Please Give us Observer Mode

[Shaogin.2679]

So, I realize I do not speak for everyone. But, I just feel like if you gave us a decent spectator mode when we die in PvE content such as Raids, Strikes, and Fractals, we could learn a lot more than we currently do just staring at our dead bodies. If you want to introduce more people to complicated group content, you have to give us a decent spectator mode.

true, that would be nice

It is already a thing in GW1 when you're defeated, you can click on any team member to instantly snap your camera to them and control it. 

Afaik, Teapot is using a similar tech in GW2 for live commenting of pvp matches.

All in all, it seems very possible with a fair effort for Anet to implement and integrate an official version for everyone to use in game.

Hey Anet, make this a feature for one of these new expansions.

Or when dead you become a little invisible orb , but you can move around the boss arena to see what players do and learn if needed , like Southsun survival activity , or a thing like watcher in pvp matches where you see what the player do and follow him around , even look at his build and stuff could be amazing too .

Could also make a mastery track about it would be called "the sneaker" .

One of the things that I like the most in gw1 PvE spectator mode is the ability to see the skill activation. It is a good way to learn from another player.

I like this idea, but don't limit it to just when you are dead.  Allow people to join groups as spectators only so we can at least familiarize ourselves with it before joining a group as a player.
