News October Livestreams

Paige Harvey · Oct 4, 2018

Greetings Commanders,

We've got some fun livestreams coming up over the next few weeks which you can check out below! All the streams listed can be found from 7PM BST at www.youtube.com/elitedangerous/live

October 4 2018 - Buckyball Races
Ed and Will are taking on the latest Buckyball Race live on stream, and they want you to join in! It's a pretty complicated course so be sure to check out all the details HERE before joining in! There'll be a money-can't-buy Paint Pack for each of the top three racers!

October 11 2018 - The Big Bug Hunt
Will and Ed will be continuing to learn how best to kill a Thargoid, with help from some of the communities best and brightest!

We'll have even more streams after the next few weeks... but we'll have more information on that later!

So Q4 reveals are coming even later

A bit disappointed, though I hope it doesn't mean beta is pushed back as well.

Ziggy Stardust · Oct 4, 2018

So ... no exploration Q4 streams the next 2 weeks? [sad]

amigacooke · Oct 4, 2018

Hmm, good to see the YouTube streams back, but I suspect lack of Q4 streams will cause disquiet. After all, the sexy(

) 17 were shown something.

amigacooke · Oct 4, 2018

Tee hee.

Unless they are streamed on Tuesdays!....but likely a longer wait.

As patience is a thing i have available in large quantities, i have no problem with a little delay.
Looking forward to the regular live streams and take your time to make the Q4 update as good as it can be at the start of the beta

znôrt · Oct 4, 2018

Huh?

Could you link where there was an exploration live discussion scheduled? I must have missed that somehow!

Yes, you just kidding us all. Well then, pull time as you like, the longer you pull, the less interest and the more frustration.

Thanks for the heads up. Interested in what the other streams are over the next few weeks are. Looking forward to hearing more about them.

While I appreciate that everyone is desparate for the Q4 livestreams and may be less than delighted by this announcement, can I hesitantly just post a video of what's involved in tonight's race for anyone that's actually interested in either knowing what challenges Ed and Will face or else is interested in taking part themselves.

Some would say this:

Will Flanagan said:
Hello there!

The next livestream will be on 4 October (possibly the next installment of the Big Bug Hunt), and the livestreams in the following weeks will be focused on Beyond - Chapter Four. More details announced soon.

Others would say FD aren't good at sharing useful timely information... blech

First off, I hope the stream tonight will be awesome, and a lot of fun will be had by all.

But not addressing the pink elephant wearing a tutu playing the trombone in the room does nibble my gonads somewhat, and will potentially draw away attention from what most certainly will be a excellent live stream. I'll stop doing that right away.

Won't see it live tonight, but I'm sure I'll catch up on it over the next few days.

To be fair this is not FD fault at all. They never said Q4 streams start next week...as I suspected dates weren't in stone and something pushed them back, as it happens.

Also after Lave Radio ObsidianAnt episode I am very content with Q4 and overall I am just eager to know more. But I have plenty of stuff to digest during these two weeks so no biggie.
