Replay Viewer needs improvements

Custom Games

Please improve the replay viewer, I would like to see the following improvements:

  • Watch replay online with other players in chat

  • Ability to pick any spot in a replay, and begin playing from that spot in the game

  • Better organization format for auto-saves (such as putting them in folders based on month/year)

  • Option to Rewind Replays (without restarting from beginning)

  • Improve “Auto-Camera” for more accurate display without touching the mouse, maybe even a way to see the players original mouse actions and/or clicks

  • Other options for Auto-Camera such as; Lock view on selected Unit without holding down button, or Auto-focus view on major Attacks/Deaths?

  • Display resources for all players (whether we click on buildings or not)

  • Display all hero levels along with Hero kill/death ratio (would be nice in game too)

  • Option to force Red/Blue (would also be nice in game)

  • Option to Disable or Hide the Chat

  • Option to always be observer, so that we can see all players without having to disable fog of war

  • Option to enable some sort of marker/outline highlighting each players field of view

  • It would also be amazing if there was a fully featured replay “Editor” where we can set specific options such as, camera placement, speed, custom text/chat log, or even cut/shorten the replay, etc, then save those settings for when sharing the replay with others, of course “edited” replays would have to be labelled separately from originals

  • Maybe we could even include our own audio commentaries with a save file?

  • We should have the ability to easily share/send replays to other players on Bnet

  • And MOST IMPORTANTLY it would be soooo awesome if we could host a custom game/lobby with a replay, allowing other players to join said game/lobby to watch the replay together with chat, and possibly allow players to join/leave at any point (not just in the beginning)

  • Maybe we could even choose to play a replay from a various point in the game?

  • Fix the minimap glitch that doesnt remove destroyed buildings

  • Any other ideas I missed??
