You know how when your character dies, you can spectate your friends fighting the mobs until you get revived? And you know how you could see in your friends list what depth your friend is currently fighting at? What happens if we combine the both?
Even though one of my friend's party is full, I still want to spectate their game. Especially when they get to depth 24 or something! Also if one of your friends is getting his butt kicked, you can immediately jump in there and help your friend out. That is always useful. before they enter the depths Players could have an option where they choose to allow their friends to spectate them or not
Idk, I think it would be a pretty neat little feature in the game. I mean come on, lets face it. In FPSs you can spectate players games, it would be nice to see it incorporated into Spiral Knights.
Why not make this into full fledged part of the arcade?
Walk up to the gate icon screen (You know to the left of the gate)
Noticed how they look like a monitor?
Activate it, and wolha, spectate any player down there in that gate.
Left click and jump to another player..
The only problem I see is that whenever you start spectating, you have to load the level they are on before you can se anything..
