Live stream format change - Ed
- Thread starter Nutter
- Start date
OK thanks. Did the survey talk about aspects other than game modes? I'd like to read it if you have a link?
Link to Survey results.
12k participants. It was posted to the main Elite Reddits and Discord servers; oddly, it wasn't allowed on the forums.
From the results, Gamemode breakdown:
- Open = 49%
- Group = 23%
- Solo = 28%

Watching Ed fuel scoop for 50 minutes is getting old, LOL. Ed's destruction was the only exciting thing about last week's (2 weeks ago?) stream. Now had he been in a proper wing of other community players, that would engage the community in a positive way and made for some interesting streaming, especially if he was being hunted.
Just need more of this: https://clips.twitch.tv/AdorableCrispyLardPMSTwin
With a bit more practice, a better load out, and some engineering that DBX will be damn near unkillable.
Getting away in an unarmed ship and giving the attacker a "suck it nerd, you can't get me" is almost as much fun as full on combat pvp.

SDC would probably be a good idea!
Yeah but asking people to understand how a game works and get better at it is too mainstream. It is way easier to blame others.
Because exploration/trading streams are very boring and does not show what this game is, FDev should remove those activities from the game.

This is very true. There is no doubt that Ed should probably git a bit more gud (open the galmap to select a system to high-wake to when under attack? Facepalm).
But, be careful, this is not an argument in support of streamsniping. The excuse "well, git gud"/ use your "contextual awareness" / equip better shields" is the lazy and worn-out pseudo-excuse of trolls, who try to shift the blame from their idiotic trolling to the alleged faults of the victim of their trolling. They do not want you, or Ed, to get good. They want lulz.

You can frame it in many different ways, "Open Mode", "Intended Play", "Stream Sniping", "Git Gud". Killing Ed in Open is not a problem, just as killing any other player in Open is not a problem. Killing Ed or anyone else on stream is also not a problem.
However when a group or a single person is constantly attacking the same target, to cause disruption, to make a point or to gain notoriety - this is considered harassment by Frontier. And harassment is against Frontier's T&C's. The question is whether or not they are willing to enforce this policy, or to give the community a carte-blanche go ahead to engage in such behavior by publicly implicitly, or explicitly saying these types of actions are ok.

Ed needs to git gud.
Seems like asking people to understand the difference between stream sniping and PvP is also too mainstream.
I really hope that FD devs watch Ed's streams because they highlight issues with the game they should be fixing:
Anyway, I don't tend to follow these Hotel California threads, so peace & out
- Harassment of players
- Flaky multicrew implementation (that stream was a car crash)
- Need for out-of-game resources (Ed having to ask the stream where the Thargoid sites are, 'cos you cannot find them in game)
- ... and probably lots more

Sorry Cmdr but your thinking, it appears to me, is way off base, flawed, and almost shows an agenda.
Not to make a WoT but a highlight: How in the world is not playing in Open "misrepresenting the game" when all modes are valid?
Those streams don't really show how Open trully is - they do, however, show Frontier doesn't enforce the rules it has set up, in particular stream sniping. Now if Ed went pirating other players, that would show Open how it trully is and the stream would be full of combat loggers, and he'd laugh it off just the same.

Isn't that how protection rackets work?
Allow us to provide you protection or all sorts of bad things could happen?
I don't find this to be true at all. I interact with plenty of "griefers" and probably qualify as one by the looser elite dangerous definition of the word.
Most would love to see Ed git dud even at just escaping. Not to mention him actually gitting gud at pvp and handing out some rebuy screens to other players.
The cmdr in the corvette from my clip has posted on reddit congratulating ed on getting better.
I´m sure Twitch viewer numbers will sky rocket when you show how to mine, haul biowaste from A to B, haul Tourists from A to B, scan thousands of Planets/Moons/Stars or how you grind your engineering... in no time ED will surpass games like PUBG /s
I was talking about twitch policy which has nothing to do with frontier policy and only apply to your own stream and not what you are doing to a streamer.
This is not considered harassment by frontier. It can be under certain circumstances :
In addition taking action such as seeking out and targeting specific players purely for the purpose of being disruptive, to cause offence, or to upset players within the community can also be considered harassment. A perfect example of this is deliberately attempting to disrupt public livestreams such as the charity ones mentioned before. This includes, but is not limited to, the capturing of footage and releasing it publically in an attempt to create upset or gain notoriety through the actions listed above.
For sure FDev have to work on this.
That's because I did have an agenda, and if only you had read my subsequent posts before responding...
