Same old ccp..Making changes - fixing nothing.

I may sound bitter, but I despise this social media crap.

THEN GET OFF THE FING FORUM THEN

An advice you should follow yourself. Or at least fix your caps lock.

Actually, I think I feel him. I liked the old days when forums were the popular way to socialize on the internet. The group of people you were associating with were all there for the same thing so you had something in common, not like FB which doesn't really focus on anything, or youtube where people who don't even like something go watch a video of it and troll people who do. Or Twitter, where people can alert you the moment a turtlehead is poking out and share it with all their friends and followers.

ED: Obligatory crotchety response of "And I hate cell phones too and refuse to own one, I don't like the idea of my non-existent friends being able to annoy me while I'm out shopping or exercising my wrists and stuff."

I know, I just don't tend to associate forums with what I consider social media. I think of forums like small house parties with friends versus a night club.

We'd all be sitting around a dinner table like that Family Guy bit about The Wasps Family.

I don't think you understand what they are likely talking about there. The reason is because probably none of the people posting here so far ever streamed anything on Twitch.

You might hate it, but it seems like a good move for EVE. Get some more streams going. /shrug. Not sure how I feel about it personally but if it helps EVE grow I'm alright with it...until facebook/twitter buttons pop up and take a SS of you in game. Then I will vomit.

How could someone watch an EVE stream? I can see stuff like the Alliance Tournament but just normal gameplay? What? If people do this and enjoy it that's great but it really confuses me.

cloaking this... cloaking that... mimimimimimi...

Actually, I think I feel him.

there are more than enough "i-got-ganked-by-somebody-who-isn't-even-playing-the-game-threads" don't you think? -there are more than 8000 Systems in eve, you should be able to find one where nobody is streaming your mining-session.

What's next? -Facebook and Twitter integretion? The EVE-Client then twitters and facefarts how many boring hours you spent mining veldspar?

I may sound bitter, but I despise this social media crap.

EDIT: Oh... and what if google suddenly decides to massively push "google hangouts" and twitch.tv goes the way of the dodo like own3d did?

1) There's probably a reason why most people here have not streamed anything yet. -Not everybody that has a wheener wants to show it to everyone he/she knows and/or doesn't know.

2) There is more than enough crappy content on the internets. I don't think we need more crappy content from people that are to effing stupid to install, setup and use XSPLIT/OBS.

*AND SOME OTHER STUFF*

I don't think you understand what they are likely talking about there. The reason is because probably none of the people posting here so far ever streamed anything on Twitch.

There is a number of games that has direct support from Twitch. Meaning, you can stream them directly without the use of e.g. XSPLIT.

If that's the case, I support this addition as long as the technical side doesn't cause any problems (e.g. wasted resources, performance etc.).

I think most people will be fine. If you work with a 56K modem out of a trailer, you will not.

There needs to be a change before this feature goes in. CCP will you please comment on this?

Twitch.tv is awesome and has revolutionized the way gaming is enjoyed in my opinion. If I am considering purchasing a game I can ask the host live about his experiences with the game he is broadcasting and this is helping to protect consumers from bad games.

However, EVE is different. And a glaring overpowered series of modules (my opinion and yes it is not considered an exploit by CCP) Can turn this good idea into yet another way for one group to get an advantage over a smaller group.

Yes what I am speaking of is the ability to go away from the computer while cloaked. If you go to Twitch.tv and the EVE section you will notice quite a few of the top streams are providing intel on systems with no real possibility to remove the person broadcasting from the area. And even if they could. The low cost of the module and ship to use it will mean they can simply return when the time is right.

CCP please answer this. Is this what you want to see happen with your Twitch SDK? If not. Will you finally take this time to address the ability to remain away from the client while cloaked?

I don't really think this makes much difference... perhaps a few seconds are saved by not having to tell someone else what is happening in the target system, they can see it for themselves. Since your spy will be on voice coms anyway, that's not much of an advantage.

What if your spy wants to go on a date? Or to school? No problem just activate cloak and you are good to go for intel. Now you don't even have to install Open Broadcaster!

Point is. It will and IS happening now. What I want to know from CCP. Is this REALLY what you want? Or you will finally take the time to do something about it?
