Upcoming Shoutcaster-support in GW2

#1 - June 4, 2013, 6:52 a.m.

An interesting little bit from the Dragon Bash content reveal today that relates to sPvP:

" Fight to Keep Your Spot on the PvP Leaderboards

We’ve improved the way that the PvP leaderboards reflect excellence! Inactive players will automatically start to slip down the leaderboards over time, allowing new and active players an opportunity to fight their way up to a higher rank. This means that the leaderboards will more accurately represent the best PvP players.

Authorized Shoutcaster Program

In the new Authorized Shoutcaster Program, when highly rated PvP teams are matched-up in rated play, authorized shoutcasters will receive a notification and be allowed to enter that match as a spectator to bring you the action on a slight time delay. "

It’s actually less work for the shoutcasters – it informs them of the highly rated matches, which makes what they are doing easier. They’re already delaying their streams, so this would not only make highly rated matches more visible to them, but also allow them access into the matches as a spectator.

We’ll share more information in the coming days about this.

Thanks for the reference! We’re definitely short on EU casters right now, so I will check you guys out when I have time.

Hey there – Could you actually provide some links to example of your shoutcasts?

Thanks
