    Okay I know TI3 like did a whole new level of awesome with e-sports but this is like a lan party being streamed before e-sports were thing.

    Seriously, they should of watched some of the big events and tried their best to understand why they work.

    Answer: Starcraft II probably made more money in it's first hour on sale than MWO will make in the next couple of years. It's all about the $$$$$.

    You can run a decent stream without the $$$$$$$.

    I don't expect the stuff Valve, Riot or Blizzard does but they could still do a decent stream with good sound. I watch tons of non-pro folks who pull this off.

    I can run a better version of this from my house. In fact, fuck it. I now want to put together an OBN tourney. Winners will get some basic MC package. Losers get OBN shirts autographed by the winning team, because at OBN we like to remind you that 2nd place is just the first loser.

    Actually feel they should of had OBN there.

    Sounds like I'm not missing anything by being at work and not watching the stream.

    Is anybody actually playing the game yet? I would at least be interested to hear what kind of 'mechs and loadouts are prevalent.

    Russ looked irritated.

    He fucking should be. Whoever did the tech stuff on this failed miserably. They had two days to do setup, things should have been set up yesterday, figured out and fucking left alone.

  • MazzyxMazzyx Comedy Gold Registered User regular
    Nope that is UI 1.0.

    Damn it PGI.

    Ooh, spectator mode. They got me interested again.

    Overhead? That could be awesome.

    Also are they using UI 2.0? I can't tell with this view.

    I know this is an internal build from what I understand. Probably using lobbies.

    That appears to be a no.

    Don't worry guys, this is totally not an issue.

    They'll get some fixes out once their sound guy comes back from vacation.

    So are they just sync dropping and hoping they get in matches together?

    So basically what this tells me is they don't have an internal version where they can just set up games.

    See Moonz post for my feelings on that.

    PGI has no clue what they're doing.

    There's no indicators for WHERE THE FUCK THESE MECHS ARE in spectator mode. Maybe if perhaps we had maps with actual lighting we'd be able to see what's going on.

    I know commentary is way harder than anyone ever thinks its going to be, but goddamn these guys are bad. "Here are two teams. Here are two teams... Here... are two teams"

    Also haven't seen a medium but the centurions.

    The free cam in spectator mode needs team indicators.

    I gave up on the stream. Played a round in my protector. Now I am watching DoTA2.

    So if I can get a properly functioning rtmp server to get all the feeds together, what do you guys think about a setup like this:

    10v10 with a weight limit, the other two spots on each team are for spotters/camera mechs that will be colored differently and will not be shot, providing the stream feeds. Intentionally nuking a spotter mech will result in DQ. Double elimination, figure out some sort of reward for winning teams. Run it once a month.

    Would work, maybe have the spotter mechs suicide before the match so they swap views?

    Also probably need lobbies.

    Sync dropping will probably work with how few 12v12 teams there are right now.
