Livestream on Hiatus?

[Iceberg]

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

Why do I get the feeling the next thing that is coming is "soon"?

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.

Did Cole get stage fright?

[hey u]

I think if Trion were to solve the issue soon that when fixed do a surprise live feed with no answering questions but just them playing their games talking about what they themselves like about each game and still do the Friday with questions and answers.

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

Sounds definitely indefinite, to me.

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

I'm pretty sure Cole was introduced by name as an interim host by Elizabeth in her final livestream show. Remember the normal host is the Director of Global Communications but they currently don't have one. Cole isn't well suited to be a long term host because his actual job doesn't have anything to do with the Community Team. In theory at least, the Director of Global Communications is.

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.

2.) Was not the DGC position created for Daha specifically, and as such is there any reason to assume or believe that it was or remains a good idea.
She did say on occasion that she was spread a little thin.
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.

Sounds like decisions need to be signed off by someone higher up, hence the delays.
