Livestream on Hiatus?

[Deunan]

On the one hand they should have let us know sooner. On the other hand it's the entire livestream that's on hiatus so Rift and Trove got the same short shrift. 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.

"The Friday Livestream Extravaganza is on hiatus! We'll be back in the coming weeks with more content."

Sounds definitely indefinite, to me.

Was Cole not introduced to us as the replacement for the departing team, and not as an interim stop-gap? Cole DID mention being back this week, at the end of last stream, so it's not as if he was projecting temporary status, and any decision to MAKE it temporary was probably arrived at by management in a time frame to make the quote above a 'plan'....

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.

Surprise tech issue would certainly explain why such short notice was given. Thanks for your prompt response.

As long as more answers are given than would have been provided in the live stream. The way I look at it, this surprise issue bought trick a few more days to really take a huge bite out of the questions both new and lingering. Suffice it say, I'm going to be extremely disappointed if what we get "early next week" is answers to a dozen or so questions filled with fluff.

I'm used to being disappointed...

Why is there a "S" on weeks meaning more than 1? I would figure next week with no s on the end?

I was married, too....

Too much information?


Well, It got better....

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?

[hey u]

Try to channel your disappointment into anticipation. This is something I've been working on to master so then I will then be one with the universe.

Especially considering "Top" people are working on it....Just sayin'....
