Just checked out the Twitch page and the top says that the Livestream is on hiatus for a couple of weeks? Can this be confirmed?
If that's true, someone went through a lot of trouble gathering this week's live stream questions for no reason at all...
I can't wait for another stream. It helps me get through the day between studying nd work, its cool to at least listen to people play the game.
It may be a mistake and they don't realize that is up maybe.........?
If it's true I will be highly offended by that.Quote:

So what you don't have content to play as the game sits?
If this is the case ill be disappointed in Trion. I really want them to answer if we can get more rep points from incursions. I hope the livestream will be running today
If they did that, they just started shooting at their own feet, again.Quote:

Not enough content to do a Livestream because they forgot to add new things to DLC3, that's my guess.Quote:

This is the lack of communication and transparency that everyone is talking about and being infracted for even mentioning {awaiting mine}.Quote:

They prolly don't want to do it will all the bugs and issues people are experiencing and also my guess is they don't want the livestream to show problems while playing.
You mean despawning vehicles?Quote:

That already happened during a livestream and is a known issue and is getting worked on. The past few days now I've seen some odd posts of things happening to people on PC and they are concerned that something really embarrassing will happen on the feed like lag, the car blown up, car falling through map and so on happening during a feed.Quote:

Must be that little known ISO900 process step wherein you conceal your failings from your customers? :P
Seriously, all games have issues (some more than others), why would you cancel a primary means of community interaction?
Again my guess is Trion saw the uproar with the Coffee mug on the ground. Now times that uproar with any issues that pop up with players who are experiencing that problem during a stream.Quote:

I wasn't gonna mention the lack of interaction on the forums that has been going on almost since the game launch.. but since somebody else brought it up... How about that?Quote:

I think there's a lot of confusion going on right now....Quote:

Cole was only supposed to be an interim host for the livestream so it could be that he's simply unavailable and they have no one else available to host until the week after next.
The only things lost in having text answers posted to our thread questions is we don't get to see Trick play the game (although it's not nearly as entertaining as watching Greg play the game because of his, er...uh... unique method of gameplay and weapon selection) and we don't get to throw out questions from chat.
If we get Trick's text answers I can accept that because what we gain is not having to sift through minutes of stuff that we may not care about before finally getting to the questions and answers we want. What used to take us over half an hour can be done in a few minutes even if it's only to reveal that none of the questions we might deem more important get definitive answers (or any answers). If they don't get answered in text they wouldn't have been answered in a livestream anyway.
Hey guys. There was a surprise tech issue in the streaming studio, and top people are on it. Emphasis on TOP.
I promise I didn't knock coffee over on anything. Occasionally on myself, but not on any sort of streaming equipment.

Which would imply it was made in time to announce it in the form of 'communication' to us before the last minute.
Also:
Considering how often Trick misunderstands or misinterprets questions, I find the inability to input clarification in real time a serious flaw in this new method of communication.
That's good information. Much appreciated. :)Quote:

Can you confirm that this "Tech issue" is what is going to cause the live stream to be on hiatus for a couple/few weeks? 1 week (today) I can understand, but to state weeks?Quote:

I was on the livestream broadcast page today and the chatbot said 2 weeks.Quote:

EDIT: It was Greg that implied that it might only be an interim position for Cole. At the end of the livestream he used the words "at least for now" regarding Cole serving as the livestream host.
Even with not being able to livestream, a forum post with answers or an email to me so I can present them appropriately would have been a good way to work through them without too much a drain on time and resources.
*tinfoil hat* Stream Studio was set on fire by Dahanese before she left.
There was a tech issue at the last minute, yet we're not getting the answers until next week? That's very telling.
If it was a last minute tech issue, why aren't the answers already there since they should've gathered them yesterday and had trick answer them in between then and now?
1.) I can't speak to the chatbot info as I made my comment from not remembering anything out of the ordinary being conveyed about todays schedule at the time. I defer to you as I already accept a personal memory issue as fact.Quote:

And she did say on occasion that she dropped a ton of stuff on Morganna to accomplish, which was why it would take weeks from the end of a Live Stream giveaway to get an email with a code in it for access to a mount or patron account in RIFT.
I know it took somewhere between 6 and 8 weeks for me to get my email, and much other email communications that I have had with staff has been answered literally multiple weeks after contact and email was put to them on specific issues.
It sounds to me as if DGC isn't as efficient a method for the task as one would like to think considering the empire one must oversee, and the vast amounts of personnel and material` that one must surely be responsible for. I'd almost be tempted to think that face time on the Live Stream might not be the best use of a DGC's time.
Morgana (Community Coordinator) is already on the masthead in place of Daha (DGC), so it seems that some changes can be made to protocol.
3.) Cole's suitability: Possibly true, but was it put forth that he was never going to move to a different position? Daha wasn't DGC until they created the position and made her DGC. And I don't think doing ~2.5 hours of Live Stream on Whiskey Friday's requires DGC on one's business card.
