How Much Are Replays Wanted?

Representing only myself, of course, I have to say replays aren't much of an interest for me. I would much rather Stardock forgot all about them and gave us the update earlier.

Replays are definitely an essential for me. It's basically almost a required tool if anyone wants to review their in-game performance or watch how others do the things they do.

Replays will also help to demonstrate certain new builds or show case cool game play.

Thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis much.

Thats alot.

I'd like to have them to at least tell new players to watch them to get better quicker.

Yes please =]

I use GR a lot for Kane's Wrath and it is a excellent site to learn from.

i wouldnt want to see them slow down the release of new DGs but i think they are a nessicary part of any game like this.

In terms of a competitive game, Replays are one of the most useful tools for increasing your competency level. They allow the basic skill level of a community to increase much faster through sharing of 'Good' replays and also lead to innovative play styles and tactics.

They also have additional benefits, such as allowing people like myself to work on Community movies - be they game compliations or humour.

As for whether or not it's worth putting so much time into housing the Replays, I think it is, however remember to keep your expectations in check; only a percentage of the community is going to use Replays.

Replays are already confirmed for 1.2 and are almost done in terms of creating the system. I've just been a game admin of a dead game on that site waiting for the day replays would come out. They'll probably be here over the next few weeks I imagine. 

And I won't pretend I can do this alone. Because I can't. =P To be truly useful to the community we would need lots and lots people uploading lots of replays from PUB games to uber pro skillz premades. You can check out any other game section on the site to see how they're organized. There's plently of staff room for the site as well.

Whether its uploading/downloading/discussing replays, or getting involved on the staff side of things (if you want to) I just want to see if the community really wants a place for Demigod replays or if they didn't care anymore.

I just don't know after all this time between patches. Implementing replays on the site is easy enough, its just the matter of if there's going to be enough people wanting the resource to warrant keeping the section going. That's what I don't know.

Not only is it really fun to watch skilled games that are back and forth, they're a great learning tool

Replays are probably the single most important thing missing from the game IMO.

yes - thats all you wanted right?

that and some UI tweaks... or the ability to use UI mods online. 

give me those two things and yes, I'd be in heaven.

also Gamereplays rocks.  That was the lifeblood of the Rise of Legends community.  (The other greatest RTS in recent history).  The fact that replays are missing is killing this game so hard.  I hope the fact that they've been missing for so long doesn't cause irreversible damage.

I feel it's really really really important.

I love watching high level replays, both for entertainment and learning.

Also I like the GR community.

Demigod needs a replay system. IMHO

I think many of us will enjoy having replays.  It's not number 1 on my list for things that would be great to have added, but its definitely in the top 5. 

Given sucha beautiful engine, I'd definitely watch replays of high level encounters. you'd have a monopoly on sites that care about them!

As people said before me, replays are needed, to get the community better. A big YES in IMO.

Yes

<Please just answer Yes or No>

yes a bazillion PLEASE

It will be nice to have replays but my cares are
only for new content.

YES please.....a good organized collection of replays will help all / players / potencial players / devs /

i personally dont need replays, but i certainly would watch a few of good players to improve my playstyle.

they are a must, especially since i want the community to actually get better at this game.
