I know I live under a rock and am only just learning about old news but seriously WTF ?
EvE tv, the commentry teams/experts/presenters do an awesome job. I could rant and ***** for hours about this and how funked off i am however after calming down a bit I would like to be a bit more constructive.
What can I/we do to help EvE TV show the whole event next time ?
For years i have sat back and enjoyed other peoples hard work and now its not here I want to help, RL in game whatever can someone who knows please post somethign here and let me know. It simply is not the tourny without EvE TV covering it all.

If you want to help offer to donate a ton of cash to pay all the tech guys, presenters and all the people involved, then pay to air/stream it and all the other costs... its not cheap to run the alliance tournament weekends especially with the current climate im not surprised theres no eve tv this time.
However i do agree it feels like its a waste of time just having commentary but hey, better than nothing? or is it... meh its probs going to suck... o well

I would actually be happy to donate rl money to eve tv if there was a targeted fundraiser sanctioned by ccp.
I would need assurances that the money was going directly towards funding EvE Tv and no other aspect of the game however as long as those are given I would give money for somethign i enjoy.

Yes we allready pay however much per month but i dont think that entitles us to a tv show fully funded by ccp. I am very pleased with what ccp have done so far with eve tv ( the actuall show) if they cant afford to keep doing it then we can either cry about it point figers and do nothing or we can try to help.
I am not going to just give more money to ccp but as i have said before I would donated to a EvE tv fund and help support somthing i enjoy.

ok just to make it clear.. they are many more fights this time... so I thing they took the go decision to show only the finals and not the knockout sections live on eveTV
I am guessing there will be highlight of hte fights not shown later on... just not live...
But you can listen in and hear the fights... eve voice.. New Eden radio, Eve radio and the other one I cant remember at the moment.
Remember CCP isnt forced to do this.. and it cost them a heck of a lot to do it.

for the 15Ç a month i pay to play eve online i also expect CCP to provide me with pizza and beer - how am i supposed to play their game without pizza and beer ffs? ccp are totally out of touch with the player base and reality. :(

EVE keeps getting bigger and bigger, CCP has to be making more profits and yet they seem to get cheaper every alliance tourny. Whats next, black and white news papers released weeks after the event with artist renditions?

Chalk me up as another person hugely disappointed there is no video coverage. I am listening to the radio feed and the commentators are doing fine but you just cannot get a good sense of the battle this way. I'd say it is a complete waste but as long as I am missioning I figure may as well have the radio feed going.
I too would consider donating to a fund setup by CCP expressly meant to provide a video feed (and if not enough donations came in and they did not do video I would want my money refunded). As a donation it would be completely up to individual players to pay in if they want.
Or better, let alliances donate then get ad space for it and "Live coverage brought to you by XXX Alliance and YYY Alliance!" kind of stuff.
On the whole this is a HUGE let down (apparently I was living under a rock too because I logged in this morning looking for the video feed  )
Have to call a fail on this towards CCP. Close to pointless to even do like this.

Are you saying that you are counting the number of people that watch it then useing those stats to decide if you are going to provide additional funding to the next one ?
If so what were the figures for the last time and what sort of numbers are you looking for ?
If not, how will watching help and are there anyother ways a person can get involved?
Edit : Enjoying the radio coverage, thanks for the good work guys.

I'm pretty disappointed too. And tbh, with about 4 million dollars a month in revenues (250k+ subscribers * $15) funding a twice-yearly event shouldn't be a real problem.
And you know what ccp? If it's gotten too big for you to broadcast, maybe YOU should have thought of that when you expanded it.

From my understanding of the situation, The bandwidth connection required to broadcast a live video stream from Iceland to 10,000+ viewers is quite astronomical, compounded by the tanking of the Icelandic currency.
People talk about 250k subscriptions coming in like all that money is pure profit, but they have at least 4 staffed facilities with employees (who I'm quite sure are not exactly working for minimum wage) to pay for, equipment, utilities and all that.
The bottom line in these things, is in fact, the bottom line. Someone at CCP did a cost/benefit annalysis, and from what I've heard, we have the CSM to thank for there even being a tournament at all.

No Eve Tv to watch the alliance tournament I've just found. 
I used to watch every match on eve tv.
I don't feel like there's much point in taking interest in the alliance tourny this year by looks of things.
Sucks, I'd have paid a small fee if needed.

You prob also play the forums more than eve.
If not, pay me half your EVE monthly fee and when
I log on and I'll call you and give you play by play ( a bad one) of what I'm doing.
I swear it's like a few CCP employed people that are even trying to explain how it's ok to not televise this.

I do not think we are entitled to free EvE tv.
Even though I am dissapointed I am not looking to blame anyone involved.
All I want is to get some feedback from someone in the know about how I/We can help EvE TV cover as close to 100% of the next tourny as possible.

What a load of rubbish. No eve tv = No interest.
CCP i love this exellent game we play but when the alliance tourney was on eve tv it gave me something to look forward to each evening. It gives a nice feel to the game and is great for advertisement and getting more people to part with their cash and play the game.
Please CCP. Bring back Eve TV for the alliance tourney.  |

Well, you obviously have camera drones, you have commentators (although not on site, but they still do commentate).
Trust me CCP, we can live without seeing the faces of those in the studio. (I guess most of the tournament costs come from flying people in, providing them with accomodations / food, studio stuff, etc) Most of us only care about the fights and not the studio fluff you do around them.
For now, i will be happy as long as we get to watch the matches - with or without commentary - later from recording. Without that tho, the whole preleminary round loses a lot from its charm. For example, half the teams we can only see there, as they will not make it to the finals.
So can we get a confirmation about what someone from CCP said earlier, that the matches are being recorded and will be available later?
Thanks for that confirmation in advance. |

Very dissapointed, had looked forward to the tourny, but no coverage means no veiw for me. I cant stand listening to sport on the radio, so i doubt i will like listening to a tourny on there either.
the least you could do is up load each fight to www.evetube.com so we can atleast watch the matches a few hours later.. |

I have tried to keep this post constructive and have done what i can to discourage people from venting thier anger/dissapointment. I have asked for feedback and offerd what little help i can give. So far i have found your responses to be a bit flippant and far from satisfactory. I don't expect long walls of text however I would apreciate just the smallest amount common courtesy from someone whos job it is to work as part of this community. |

CCP, you appear to have completely misunderestimated [thanks George!  ] the strength of feeling from those that ultimately pay your wages. Individually we are ineffective, but together, en masse it is the same as pvp - solo, we fail; together we are strong. Do not ignore us. We will not ognore you.
The OP has been about as polite as I have seen someone in these forums when talking about a subject he is obviously passionate about. Replying with flippancy does not serve you well. Just answer his question properly and in the same way you would answer someone about to hand you your monthly paycheck.
Think about it.

You all realize that both the tournaments and EVE TV are fan creations, mainly run by volunteers (fans). CCP provides a financial boost, but they never intended to run the entire thing.
If you want EVE TV: support them; find out what they need; help out with stuff; etc. Then there will be full EVE TV coverage of the tournaments

You would have to be in England/Iceland to help directly...
However, applying to the ISD to become a volunteer (IC in this case); or get in contact with the EVE TV people, I'm not sure who is currently in charge of producing at the moment, a bit of digging and you can probably find out. |

All I want is to get some feedback from someone in the know about how I/We can help EvE TV cover as close to 100% of the next tourny as possible.
The more people who tune in to the radio broadcasts, and the tv broadcasts, the better we look :)
Turn into the radio broadcasts? I'm sure most of us asking for live TV coverage do so because we're NOT interested in the radio broadcasts. Please don't connect the two, since they are, at least to the people you're addressing, two entirely different things.
And tune into the TV broadcasts? What, you mean the discontinued regular Eve TV shows? Or the live coverage of the finals of this current tournament? Well, not to be an ass here, but using that to measure interest in tourney live TV broadcasts in general wouldn't give you any true numbers at all, given that most of us who would watch under normal circumstances are probably too disappointed already to even care at all about tourney VI. And that would go for the recorded video footage downloads as well, even though it might be to a lesser degree.
What you need to do is look at how many watched the live coverage of the last tournament, and if that isn't enough to you, please tell us what we can do to raise funds to help make live coverage of the next tourney possible. In the end, it can only come down to money after all, right?
The Alliance Tournament must be a pretty big thing for Eve, PR-wise, and live broadcasting it visually has to be the best way to tap it's potential in regards to it boosting the "morale" of the community, as it were. Therefore I honestly find it surprising that you'd so carelessly answer a disappointed community in this matter.
The Eve Alliance Tournament is an awesome and unique thing, part of what makes Eve so great. But without live TV coverage, the whole point of the tourney is lost, for everyone who doesn't have a team in the competition. What can we do to help bring back live TV coverage, please? |

If CCP haven't thought up eve-tv at all, no one would be whining about it, but then again, would anyone compete ?
I loved every alliance tourney sofar, I love eve-tv. I don't think regular tv episodes was a bad idea, it was just not ready for it.
But please re-instate eve-tv during the entire tournament.

I am very disspointed that CCP makes a big jolly deal out of AT VI, without televising it. Two pieces which doesn't fit IMO.
Personally, I don't care the slightest about AT VI anymore. It's getting wiped from memory in 3, 2, 1...

The alliance tourny on eve tv was amazing i watched it all. The only prob was that they tried to make EvE Tv a whole high funded tv show but aspart from the trournaments it was just fanfest and interviews.
i dunno about others i dont wanna watch fanfest unless am there incase i get over jelouse becuase i cant be there. and ccp are so shrewd with info u get all thats goin off the forums
But yes the tournament Must be shown. We dont need eve tv kicked awake every year all it takes is 2 guys with fraps record it and some guy quickly edits it just before posting.

The most baffling thing to me is the two-faced presentation of implementing some of the new tournament rules in order to "enhance the audience experience", such as the decision to disallow the use of remote logistics modules.
But if there's no actual broadcast of the events, and all we get to see are the IC's interesting, but not time-reliant, after-action reports, what the heck is the point?
The tournament can't be a spectator sport without a proper broadcast and commentators.
It's ridiculous!

No EVE-TV?
seriously CCP u r going lower and lower. I remember in 2005 gm's/dev's making some events based on storylines ...didnt hear about long time...
Next was eve-tv witch i like'it (didnt pay'it) and seriosly when u pay 15/month for one account u dont like to pay extra ... bonuses are more than ok ... we living a marketing era if u dont come with bonuses or events u will die beside what great product u can have.
Now no eve-tv on alliance champ ... u think player base will be to much interested in finals? most of the alliance's will dont get in finals why the **** to look?
its ****ing funny now to give us radio broadcast ... what will be next? live reports on irc? or just logs?
Hahaha ... instead to grow in services for same cash u instead lower the standards and maybe ask for more cash ...
I will wait for alliance tourney X when i will receive on mail the results of fights ... good luck with this!
oh wait ... srry u dont have cash for few hours of broadcast because u paying more dev's to bring us ambulations (or how the **** its spelling) ... no thanx i have WoW or Lineage for looking at a char how its dance without lag :).

the RP events were always pretty crap though, and there were the inevitable complaints of GM bias when the rewards got ahnded out.
it's pretty hard to keep everyody happy, and providing fun events for the community normally turns out to be such a royal pain in the arse for CCP i'm not at all suprised they pulled the plug.
eve tv will be back for the finals though, so it's not all bad news!

Just try to understand CCP - the video coverage of the alliance tournament made it popular and interesting. The radio broadcasts although funny and all are nowhere near what the community expects. They cannot provide the level of insight into PvP matches that TV does. |

Watching the "Final Match" won't have any interest to most of us if we can't watch the preliminary ones.
Why you ask?
Imagine this.
You go to work, come home, watch tv, spend time with friends, family, just like you do now.
You HEAR about the Superbowl/Worldcup/Stanley Cup/whatever sporting events finale.
You HEAR who wins on the radio. You SEE still photo's of the matches.
But how interested are you in the games.. REALLY.. Not very. Why? Because you haven't been there to see, to EXPERIENCE the highs and lows of your favorite team.
They're just a 2 minute sound bite on the news on the way to work. A headline in the sports page, a link on a website. You have no EMOTIONAL attachment to them(Unless YOU play for them).
Then suddenly the Superbowl/Worldcup/Stanley Cup/whatever sporting events finale comes on TV.
You're being told it'll be a spectacular event. You're being told it'll be a match of a life time.
Who cares? You've got no emotional ties to either of the teams.
Now.. exchange the sports teams for the corps and alliance's in EVE participateing in this tournament.
Without the run up preliminaries, it's just a sound bite. A news flash. Not an EVENT.
I remember PAYING to watch the tournament.
I'd do that again. |

Why hold the tourney at all?
If we players thought listening to the action would be ANY good at all - would we be playing EVE at all?
No, we would be listening to a radio show.
The intense battles and the joy of knowing "this is not my ship getting blown up there" was amazing, and one of the resons to like EVE.
Im still compleatly baffled. What in the world are the devs thinking? Full avatar and the new graphics... for what? To hear about it? To read about it?
NO - to experience it!
Give back eve tv for the EVENTS. You really dont need anyone to comment on the battles, if that's what cost you all the ÇÇ. But SHOW the battles, dont WRITE about them. |

Let me start by saying I love the alliance tournament. I've watched it since I first started playing and its always fun. I am bummed about the lack of a live feed; however, it has already been announced that there will be videos released of the fights. While it won't be the same as a live stream, it will still be possible to watch the fights.
I, for one, am happy that CCP brought the tournament back period, as they had planned to cancel it. And while there is no live video, there is still the ability to listen to the fights live and then view them later. Not to mention that the finals will be broadcast live. To sum up my point: sure, there isn't a live feed, but isn't having the videos posted later and having a live audio feed better than having no tournament at all.
That's my 2 cents.

This is the Super Bowl of EVE.....
No live stream = no fun.
Would you want to watch the super bowl reran? Would you want to watch the World Cup reran? I know i wouldnt, this is ridiculous.
I can understand cancelling EVE-TV(RIP) as an annual broadcast but seriously? You can't have a camera bot and a live stream? This is just not acceptable. If you can't live stream it for whatever reason then don't do it at all. The tournament is vastly more visual than it is audio based. Just a camera bot and i dont know maybe some volunteer commentators would have been perfectly fine by me.

I don't want or need to hear about it, I just want to see what is going on.

While the issue of broadcasting radio streams may be less than perfect, video matches have been uploaded in less than 24 hours.
http://uk.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=E3253708589CBE0A&gl=GB
I understand why people may be upset at loosing full tv coverage, but the decision to broadcast over 3 weekends instead of 2 with Fridays makes perfect sense for the teams involved being able to participate in all time zones.
The only way to support the tournament in the hope of full televised broadcasts in the future is to vote for a 7th tournament on the forums after you tune the 6th.
Your voices have been heard, CCP were asked if there would be another tournament at Novembers FanFest and they replied no due to a combination of cost issues and player interest. After a petition on the forums CCP listened to their customers and announced another tournament.
All that remains is for the players to show their support to the tournament, a unique event in the gaming industry where every player of the game has a chance to participate and spectate, risking real game assets for real game rewards and status.
Your support made the 6th tournament happen.
Your continued support will lead to future tournaments and perhaps a different format. We can only wait and see how much you really want it and make your voice heard in a constructive manor.

CCP is asking for us to support the tournament more, but audio only = zzzzz. So, they post the vids to YouTube, and they didnt even bother to do it in high enough quality that they are even reasonably watchable.
CCP.. this makes ppl less interested, you lose support this way.
If this is the last tournament then its nobody fault but your own CCP.

sorry to say..but eve tournament matches without video stream coverage are somehow pointless - i don't want to read about it or listen to a guy screaming about whats going on, i want to watch it. i know there are allways arguments against it on the filed, but its that simple: show it on a stream or just toss a coin who fights in the finals.
the second point is: there are no tournaments every week ccp has to pay for (streaming) - and i think i can expect that once in 6-10 months the streaming costs should be in while paying 15 bucks a month.
you dont need any experts sitting around, you dont need any bla bla people talking in between the matches..just 1-2 guys explaining whats going on and a stream :D

I wonder if the commercial television channels are intending to cut back their offerings to radio broadcasting only in today's economic downturn.
CCP showed themselves to be at the forefront with EveTV. Its death shows a lack of vision. This coupled with attempts to cover events with audio commentary, a medium superceded many decades ago, shows a significant misunderstanding of how, at the most rudimentary of levels, to nurture a developing cash cow.

I was rather irritated that the alliance tourny's were only audio Loved watching the ships n all the pew pew that was going on. Now it's kinda like watching the superbowl in full on black out mode whats the point in the superbowl when you can't watch it as radio can only do so much. |

its a bloody shame they aren't broadcasting a videostream, however nice the efforts of the radio guys are, lets face it, **** it...
i was actually very much looking forward to following the tourney again, hell even sparrow the faildigger inspired a slight smile on my face occasionally.
The alliance tournament broadcast was pretty much the biggest marketing tool in CCPs arsenal, i cant understand how the hell a game depending on marketing more than most other MMOs would would forfeit its single biggest event all year...
im not asking for a full cast being accommodated in dead broke iceland for an entire month, but ffs, give us videostreams atleast.
Radio however nice it is is not the format to broadcast a tournament of this sort....

I suppose the audio commentary is better than nothing, but it is hardly an accurate description of what is happening. Half the time the commentators take off on a tangent during the match and then all we get of the action is "oh a ship just blew up." This is usually followed by an expert analysis of presumed setups (usually not even analyzing the actual setups used).

No interest ? there's thousands of people listening to the audio stream and more alliances than ever competing (and alot more wanting to but not making it in)
SKY IS FALLING, THERE WON'T BE MORE TOURNAMENTS RABBLE RABBLE talk is really dumb and premature, especially since we haven't even seen the interest in finals weekend yet

Personally I have had plenty of fun listening to this tournament.
Sure, audio commentary is a little skewif at times, but then video commentary was a little skewif last tournament anyway (since, if you recall, the commentators couldn't properly see the top shield bar of the top ship, so we could see if it was getting shot at but we could not) - and they certainly went off on plenty of tangents back then. Commentators always drift off the point. That's part of what commentators do. |

In my opinion this reveals an efficiency problem with the medium CCP has used to broadcast the fights thus far. When you play EVE the servers do not send you the frames displayed on your monitor. Instead, data representing the state of the game around you (i.e. ship types, locations, headings, etc.) are sent to your computer. The graphical image on your screen is then rendered using this relatively small data representation of the game world around you. Your computer knows how to render a megathron, for example, without anything but a few stats on that ship's current status.
For the video streams of the tournament broadcasts they have used streaming video, actually sending every pixel of the coverage to every viewer. The growth in the amount of data this type of display requires to be sent FAR exceeds that used to let you play the game.
The solution? CCP needs to devote a little bit of their team's time to developing an in-game tournament viewer of sorts (could be used to view in-game events of all types). The specifics of such an implementation are obviously far too big a topic for my lengthy thread here, but the idea should work.
The main downside to this solution would be a potential impact on the performance of the EVE universe during the tournaments. This, however, should not be a defining constraint as I can think of a few possible solutions off hand.
This method of implementation would most likely reduce the amount of data needed to provide live video footage of events to EVE players by a large factor. And perhaps best of all, this would allow you to view the tournament live, in the full graphics settings and clarity you see when you play the game. |

what shai said
and there would be no lag , you could relay that grid to various proxies im sure
that said , a Full covered tv show would be icing on the cake |

The video is there w/ the audio coverage on each match. The day 1 and day 2 qualifiers are up. I don't have a problem with a little delay for the video, especially since we get the final live. It seems like a lot of people are saying audio only, when its live audio only with the video delayed about 24hrs or so to get them up on youtube.

Bring back Eve TV, this you-tube stuff is just God aweful!
This crap could have flown in year one, but not now CCP.
My opinions are my own, they may not match the opinions of my Corp or Alliance. |

I take back my original post complaining about no evetv. This latest posted video to Youtube is great, you can actually see pilot names and ship types, way better then the crappy live stream. I can wait an extra day for this kind of quality and if it saves CCP money, bonus.
