    The reasonable person in me thought that after so many years it might actually be the new engine patch coming to testlive, but you sure showed me FC! New social armor is WAY more than I could've ever expected!
    No, it's the RP forum contest.

    So, I did enjoy it. I had a laugh, turned up on 2 toons, wore pink!, even had a Nip out when wearing a grass skirt! Jumped up and down, danced, blew kisses and chased a short fat dude around.

    Now where are my prizes!!!!!

    Not a happy Nana now =/

    Honestly, I wish I could unhear it because it's disappointing beyond belief.

    I can do that at any point in my life. Answers are what's important and you gave none.

    Sezmra/Tomium,

    After watching today's stream I thought perhaps I could assist by providing a little feedback and a suggestion.

    1. It was great that you guys did the stream. I haven't seen anything streamed, from Funcom, since Lindelu did a let's play with some guy whose name I can't remember. If the plan is to do these regularly then that's a world more attention than AO's been getting.

    2. If you're going to do these, you really need to clean them up some. AO players are critical (*raises hand*) and the twinking nature of the games means that players take pride in precision and getting the details right. I mean this is a game where people will go through insane feats just to get that 1 or 2 extra points of a skill in order to equip the best of the best armor/weapon/implant. I'm saying that because you really need to know and understand your audience.

    3. Players will accept that you guys aren't experienced as them IF you come off professionally (game-wise). Running around in amazement at social wear isn't going to cut it. If that's what they think they are to expect, they won't watch and they won't encourage others to watch.

    4. Despite some of these haters :P I liked the announcement for the backstory contest. We need more things that make people feel a part of the game world and that is a start.

    All of that being said...If your plan is to do a weekly stream then here's what I suggest:

    A: Locations for dungeons are mainly listed in order of their level range. The other items can really be inserted anywhere as breathers in between so you aren't doing dungeon after dungeon. I'm not knowledgeable enough to know what to list for RP but I'm sure someone else here can suggest a thing or two.
    - ToTW
    - Steps of Madness
    - Foreman's
    - Crypt of Home
    - Smuggler's Den
    - Inner Sanctum
    ---------
    - LE AI Mission
    - RK Mission
    - PVP: Battlestations
    - PVP: Notum Wars
    - PVP: Tarasque
    - RP: Overview of the pre-NW storyline
    - RP: Overview of the NW storyline
    - RP: Overview of the SL storyline etc etc

    B. Gear: I would definitely recommend going over gear a bit (i.e. showing want imps you're wearing, armor, etc and maybe even talking about where you obtained any special items, and even demonstrating some basic implant and NCU twinking.

    C. Stream Script/Flow: The best thing you can do, in order to make the stream experience cohesive is to pull the elite daily for your toon's level. That's going to give you the standard kill 5 of this and then kill 5 of that in addition to leading you through the dungeon (from beginning to end). Even if you are not super experienced, you'll have a very easy time getting through areas that are even new to you (or you haven't visited in a long time)

    D. Keeping it all together: Use the community. Maybe you don't know things about the game.. we do. Coordinate with players and maybe have them team up with you during the stream.. they'll be able to provide invaluable information for you and any viewers.

    I hope this helps.

    Thank you very much for your feedback here Jill. We appreciate your suggestions, and will take your (and everyone's) feedback into consideration when we do future streams.

    This was bad enough that I cringed for our two hosts. They both seem like nice people, but ones that have never really played this game much at all.

    We all want newbies right? Well we got them, they are the community team.

  13. #73
    Traderjill is full of wisdom.

    You seemed like nice guys, but to be very blunt with you: this announcement wasn't a huge deal for the vast majority and it felt a bit anti-climactic.

    Hope there will be a second and improved stream!

  14. #74
    Damn, I'd got my expectations up for the announcement too... was expecting any of these: (from least likely to most), Engine done! Steam, f2p, NPE going to Testlive. They're all going to happen but hey, this the era of instant gratification!

    Yeah we are nice but Jill is right we are hyper-critical, you need to be to get some place in AO. Storm threw out the guild invites as we would have twinked you to the extreame for your lvl, which is half the fin of AO no other game lets you do that and that's what keeps up coming back for more punishment.

    It was great that you did the stream, and just went with it and expressed honest (if a little n00b I know I said it first) reactions but that's ok, as much as AO vets are hyper critical we are also pretty decent people, if you put you hands up and show honestly we tend to bend over backwards to get you started help you and even drop a few creds your way and try to show you what an amazing universe AO truly is, we get upset and hostile if we feel ignored after most of us have spent so long playing this game every which way, what we think we know matters.

    But yeah it was pretty kewl.

    They said they'd stream semi-regularly, that might last about as long as Your Voice. Also neither of them knew there was a level cap on Subway. Tomium seemed surprised when he found out and Sezmra got defensive and said "I know there's a level cap on Subway" but 2 minutes before she had been talking about how Subway is better when you don't "bring your 220 friends and gank it"

    I doubt a live stream will happen more than maybe once again. A "big announcement" birthday anniversary stream with (fake) promises of prizes had 150 viewers lol.

    If they really put the effort into maintaining a stream for the 10 people who wanna hear about social clothes they really have their priorities all messed up

    Come on guys... Fat atrox in thong... and a clanner while at it..

    You two are adorable as people, considering You (Tomium), are still rather AO inexperienced, TraderJill's suggestion is just awesome, do one major dungeon from the list each week, (or month depending on what time premits you). If you need help powerleveling let us know, we'll get you up to level for any content in the downtime. Maybe do community votes on what equipment to get for your "Tomium" enfo, share your newbie experience on live streams and get it going.

    oh yeh. Welcome to Borealis!
