Live stream suggestions

[Ellay]

Heya, for anyone who was able to watch the stream this evening. Was hoping for suggestions on ways to improve the overall experience to make it more beneficial, especially for the multiboxing community.

Is there anything you'd like to see? besides of course better quality / less lag (will turn off chat from the get go next time.)

Maybe give more of a play by play inside matches, or explain more of whats going on in a multiboxing perspective?

All opinions are appreciated. I hope it was entertaining and enjoyable - even if I do sing terrible and trash talk :P

Just guessing, what if you show us the view from an alt and from overhead (about 2/3 view not straight down) so we can see the bad guys. The chat was totally useless to me, the voice chat helped a lot though. What about an explanation of your UI? Most of us won't have a problem, but for new people, you could put up a screenshot and then annotate what is what. Like watch here, the is what we are casting. Whatch here, this what our focus is. And so on. What if you give us your general playstyle. Not really enough so people could beat you, but like I will probably go for a certain person first, then cast 3 times, then heal, etc. We could be watching for it, so when we see it, it isn't doesn't look so random. I don't know, just arena PVP is too fast for me to think about what is going on, so I end up just watching, not actually thinking about what is going on. I am too slow I guess.

First of all, as a newer boxer, thanks for doing this. My dudes are still in their 20s, and this gives a nice view into high level arena matches.

Great idea to turn chat off. It was vulgar and racist and disgusting and I almost killed the feed because of it. Thanks for turning it off. It also improved the lag watching the battles. Hopefully it will weed out some of the morons too.
More in game commentary would be great.
The Q&A between fights was cool too, when people weren't being asshats.
Anything to up the quality would rock, it was hard to figure out who you were targeting. Perhaps the view from an alt, like suggested above, would work out better. Not sure if it would screw you up though.
Speed up the queues, geeze Blizz!


Thanks again

gratz on getting the house!

From seeing the view on the stream, the video appeared to be coming from Shaman #2, not the main. Which is why there were so few addons as well... along with the funky camera views and keyboard turning everybody was so intent on laughing about.

I personally didn't have a problem with it, but yeah... the chat on the other hand was filled with way too much QQ.

[Ellay]

I plan on placing addons on the other screen so it is much more visible to those watching, such as proximo and casting information. Will try to also give a better play by play :)

Currently right now trying to find a way to get much better quality as it isn't anything amazing yet ;p

That chat made me lose a little faith in humanity.

Resolution really sucked. Made it hard to see what was going on.

I enjoyed getting a feel for what you go through with 4 dps rush comps. Just saying, that was exciting.

[Kyudo]

I posted a couple of suggestions in the stream thread.... Didn't see this one 1st :huh:

[Wilbur]

Higher Quality stream would be nice.

I'll have a look see if I can find a decent provider.

[Crayonbox]

Can you not announce it on the general forums next time? :P The amount of shits and turds in silvermoon and in chat was mind boggling.

[Ellay]

Ya I'm going to leave out the General forums post in the future :)

[Ellay]

I'm not sure if anyone saw it but the second match against the 4 DPS double mage team, they were Gladiators in S3... when they rushed in on me someone got a hold of my ventrilo info and ping bombed me causing wow to literally freeze up. I had to quickly shift out and close vent and come back in >< still won though :)

[Mokoi]

yeah I saw that, what a bunch of losers.

I was really sickened by all the morons in the chat, and im glad you turned it off.

Im not sure if you caught it among all the chatter, but I offered to come into vent and "interview" you as a fellow MBer with questions, and setting something like that up with someone who has an identical or similar team may make for some better downtime when you are waiting for the Que dodgers to pony up.

other than that, when you are in the arena, it would be super helpful to give us a play by play, as we couldn't tell what targets you were going after, what you were doing any why.

"targetting mage first because he is the biggest threat"
"switching to druid, he popped out to heal mage"
"druid ran to LoS switching back to mage"
"using instant on the priest he's ripe"
etc etc would be good.

if you dont get 4 DPS rushers, would be nice to see the team first and explain the strategy for them. Melee, Cleave, Euro etc and just explain what will happen and what your priorities are.

Also, no more singing!

[Mokoi]

more singing!

[Eteocles]

More Karaoke ;) And pay better attention to the other boxers who bother to roll and join you...you didn't even zoom in on my Advertisement BEs, "Itsdual" "Hyphen" "Boxing" "Dawtt" "Cawm" ;)

Oh, and kill those effing Alliance that showed up...like 4 druids(at least 2 boomkins 1resto) and a paladin :P

[Ellay]

Ahh, ya - it was pretty hectic, all my screens were getting spammed with useless garbage =D I'll work on the play by play, the problem is even though I can drop targets fast it's hard to say what I'm thinking in my mind. It's one of those scenarios where I don't try to take control of what I'm doing and I let myself do what I've done through practice.. if that makes sense. So thinking things through may slow me down, we'll see. Sort of like Speed reading vs reading out loud.

need a system where you sign up for the event as a DBer, and are given a unique PW, so that everyone whoas there is supposed to be there.
