Hello all,
 
We have heard your feedback regarding our livestream programming loud and clear. It hasn't been good enough – and we want to make it better. 
 
As of today, we will be putting Zero to Fifty on hiatus.  Over the next few weeks, we plan to re-evaluate and improve our current content plan and show format.  We will strive to create a show that will not only be entertaining to watch, but will also inspire and excite.  We will also utilize this time to do a revamp of our streaming studio, as I know some of the technical difficulties have been a frustration for everyone, myself included.
 
I understand there will never be a “perfect” livestream format that pleases everyone, but I assure you, we can and will do better. Please let us know what you’d like to see on the livestream going forward. 	
----
			I think for me the technical issues are the big thing that needs to be worked out. I'm not interested in seeing elite players doing elite things in game, nor do I expect every livestream to be packed with information ala nexus report (though if we are speaking honestly here, I watched Nexus Report A LOT more than I did 0-50.) Tony you do a good job of entertaining people in the livestream just as you are, if folks want to see people tackle the highest end content like a pro there are other streams for that. The main thing is keep it fun, and keep those technical glitches to a minimum, because they eat up a ton of time.	
----
			Thank you for all the good times so far! I hope to see the stream come back soon!	
----
			I just wanted to say - I know the criticism recently has been harsh, however, I will always support this stream! I believe in you guys, just like I believe in this game. I am very interested to see what you guys will come back with.	
----
			Sorry to hear it's being put on hiatus for now. I hope you guys bring it back with a bang when ready.	
----
			Agreed, I support the stream and look forward to it's return. It's been fun and entertaining, and I'm excited to see you guys come up with next!	
----
			
While technical issues bug everyone, I think the biggest issue with the Zero to Fifty stream is the fact that sooo many people wanted to participate. Having the "crew" running with you really hindered the idea of you leveling your own character. Quest progress was slowed to a crawl most times because everyone killed things you needed before you could even get there. That just led to constant comments about how low level Toe Knee was, and how you never pressed more than two buttons. (I mean, really, why bother when things are already dead by the time you get to the mob?) These comments were exhausting to listen to for both viewers and streamers.
 
Here's my suggestion. Community. Like I said, everyone wants to participate in these livestreams. Perhaps there could be random challenges? Scavenger hunts? Vote on housing builds? Conga line through zones? I dunno. Random silly stuff. Also, there could be more time to showcase community events or artwork. This could increase and encourage participation within the community.
 
I agree with Slaytone in that the stream should be kept fun. Nexus Reports are for serious updates, the rest of stream schedule should be to show off how fun this game really is. 	
----
			
The relaxed tone of the show doesn't seem well suited to presenting new content. With the small amount of material coming out about WildStar, that stuff really needs to be presentable.
 
I understand there is a deep dive article about it, but how hard would it be to grab 5 people who are serious about the way they play to run new content, especially instances? Get in touch with any of the guilds you talk to about raid progression and stuff (because you know they'll focus on the content, will talk about how to approach an encounter and such) and ask for 5 volunteers to give the new instance a serious play through. Have them play for an hour or so and then throw that video up on your official youtube channel. Within 5 minutes it'll be linked at all the gaming websites, Hey!! look at WildStar, awesome new content coming up, free 10 day trial, go try it out!
 
As entertaining as 0-50 might be, I wouldn't want to see it linked to advertise the game. (yes, I know it's not really meant that way, but look at how little effort you'd have to put in to get something you COULD link.)	
----
			
I think you folks are in a really tough position as you're competing with too much media. Movies, other streamers, Netflix, Wildstar itself and similar games, personal commitments, cat pix, porn, forum arguments and pretty much every other facet of modern life are constantly pulling viewers away. :huh:
 
If you're going to continue investing resources in this type of material, here are my noob suggestions:
 
1. Merge the show with other forms of WS media (Deep Dive articles, marketing announcements, patch and drop info); instead of scattering a bunch of seeds that don't have fertile soil, focus on one product, make that product known among as many players and potential players as you can. In addition to this, try to focus on releasing something interesting and important each show; doesn't have to always be a drop announcement. :P  Just something worth chatting about for a significant number of players.
 
2. Not sure how much of this is done overall (didn't notice much the couple times I watched), but utilize more of the game's music, art, animations, etc. in the show. Make some machinima if you can. I'd like to feel more attached to the game's persona through watching. 0 to 50 felt a little too... static for my liking. Wildstar is a very energetic game and I'd like to see that expressed visually in your main stream show (Tony is fine, so I don't mean the spirit of the hosts, just the presentation of the show).
 
3. As much as I'd like to see housing promoted, I feel like live visits can be tedious for the audience. Would recommend taking footage of a few places, chopping it up, and having a 5 minute segment each week that focuses on aesthetic shots and immersion stuffs. Draw from both Exile and Dominion, and if possible, try to select houses you feel express the identity of these factions. I think if an Exile player saw some awesome Dominion-style homes (and costumes!) they might feel more inclined to try that faction, and vice-versa.
 
4. Don't bother as much with interviewing developers. People may hate this suggestion, and feel free to criticize, but I think there's a lot of cynicism toward developers these days and they'd be better off with less pressure and their minds on work and rest. I mean, what are they going to do, come on and tell us everything is terrible? Of course not, so unless they're really excited and just want to dish for the thrill of it, I'd say just stick with using the show's hosts and format to share information and avoid the 'nervous dev under spotlight' thing. I'm going to be much more excited and convinced if you can just deliver stable, consistent information, and entertain my ADD mind. ;)
 
5. This one is a little frivolous, but have you considered bringing California into the stream more? The city I live in is rather boring, I wouldn't mind seeing some shots of the studio, any geek shrines you've got going on over there, any awesome weather or landmarks. If you can possibly bring in some bits of game design insight, or how a studio operates (obviously without compromising security) I'd be quite interested. I think a ton of gamers fantasize about working for a studio. So get some cool shots, then get someone with editing skills to figure out how to use them as segues or something.
 
Hope that helps, interested in seeing what you folks come up with. This could be a great chance to revitalize not so much the image of the game, but of Carbine (the studio) and Carbine (the people).	
----
			
Tony,
 
Let me start by saying I love you. I think you are a GREAT guy and I would love to hang out with you IRL, because you'd be even more awesome with some beer. I think you are a great addition to a stream and you add alot of laughs. But you were overwhelmed when the show was dumped in your lap. You did the best you could, but having to hold a conversation, read the stream, answer questions AND attempt to level up all while being entertaining about it is alot to ask. I thank you for trying it, and I'm glad you can accept the criticism as it was meant to be (constructive).
 
The concept of watching someone level 1-50, including in some dungeon and adventure runs, even some pvp, is great, but maybe it was just handled wrong. It became more of a joke than an actual showcase of the game. Add in the cool guests and fun goofing off, you can probably make it work. You might have to tell your "gang" to lay off the quest mobs for you and decline group invites when you're showing a solo quest area, or pre-plan a group of players (or two for PVP purposes) before a stream if you plan to showcase instances. All in all, you needed to do morethan just show up Tuesday mornings and goof around for an hour, and maybe get out some particular pieces of info that needed to be disseminated.	
----
			
In my opinion, Widstar weekly should come back...or something like that...but if not, then here is what I think not only I...but many people love.
 
A show where you-Tony, do the majority of the talking and just being the great and hilarious man you are, but have other backround footage of the game going on. Maybe have people on it more often like TT, Pappy, Donatelli, Cougar, and Jen Gordy, they could discuss player concerns and such and also just play the game in the backround...there could be special dungeon days...
 
You see here is the problem with Zero-Fifty, your casual nature was always great because it balanced off of Frosts hardcore nature. The chemistry was there more than anyone else you had on the show.
RIP	
----
			I've no doubt wherever you decide to take the show, it will be better than folks can imagine. Can't wait to see what's next.	
----
			
My biggest issue with the stream is it just seemed like nobody knew what they were doing. I know you guys were trying really hard to make a good product, but it just never clicked with me.
 
My biggest suggestion would be if you're going to showcase gameplay don't let it appear to be clueless. It's doesn't have to be hardcore, I'd prefer it not to be, but it's got to positively show the game. It's okay for the person not to know what they're doing, but there should be some instruction or something so that person learns how they can improve.
 
As an example, there's been times Tony has had empty slots on his LAS or not been sure how to set something up. This is perfectly acceptable. Many new players probably find themselves in the same situation. But instead of showing us how to fix it, it just seems like it's floundered along.
 
Along these lines, let Tony -host- the show. Let him focus all his attention on the show. This will bring his charisma and humor to the forefront, while using someone else for the gameplay that might be more their strength.	
----
			I very much love tony and deedee. They are great live streamers and i hope that doesn't change anytime soon.	
----
			
Tony I can't wait for you to come back and host a show. Playing while having to focus on so many things can not be easy. Let some other folks do the heavy lifting and you tell us what they are ding and why and crack some major jokes. 
 
I know I for one do not want to see you go away. You are the video face of Wildstar now and I like it. 	
----
			
Work in Progress stream would be great. Straight up Q&A's would be great! Discussing plans with the community (Google Roundtable thingy)

+1 for some EU love... 
We do pay our share for the same experience, one would expect in this day and age its a given. 
 
I'm interested in seeing what you guys come up with! 	
----
			
I think the live stream would be great just as an informational thing like a "How TO" New players could watch the streams and learn how to play. I meet new people everyday that have no idea how runes work, why no one is queuing for dungeons, etc.
 
Having a knowledgeable person go in and stream themselves doing the different things in wildstar and explaining what is happening could be really useful. Also showing off the nice places in wildstar, memorably quests, humor, etc.
 
Talking about the current changes with classes etc is also nice for ppl who have returned, as well as a peek into future content. 
 
I think what people liked most about nexus report was the chance to give feedback and talk with the devs as well as make suggestions for things they wanted. Having some time aside for that i think would keep the veteran players watching as well.
 
Just my 2 copper.

I know not everyone agrees with my opinions here, but I feel like the livestream has a lot of room for improvement.
 
1.  Most players (and devs) agree that the meat of this game is end-game (50).  Why would highlighting the leveling process as a series be considered a good idea?  Hitting the high points is one thing (training proto-star, housing, each adventure / dungeon, pvp), but the general questing process should never see more than 1 episode of air-time.  Do you realize you're alienating all of the dominion, because of this?
 
2.  Very few people want to watch someone bumble around on stream.  Yes, its entertaining the first time--- but making an entire series about not being able to learn from your mistakes, press the right buttons, and stay alive?  That just screams that you don't care about the community.  I think a host who has a good knowledge of the game (ie someone who has actually played it before) would be a better face to the community.  The best streams / commentaries are from people that are knowledgeable about the game.  If you want to gain a following for who you are as an entertainer, start your own stream.  If it says twitch.tv/wildstar -- people expect it to be quality information about the game and its community.
 
3.  There is so much in this game that can deserve the entire space of the 45m-1hour streams that show, rather than running around and questing.  That Bay of Betrayal show should have been a solid team and Tony explaining how it was a fun / unique zone that provided challenges, loot, and engaging gameplay.  Instead all we saw was---- nothing.  If you don't have the time and resources to craft a unique 1 hour show, once a week, then don't bother with it at all.
 
4.  IF the show is going to be about the community, actually talk about the players.  Showing off artwork was a good start--- but think of all the player run events.  How hard is it to spend 5 minutes going down a list of player-run events before logging off the stream?  "Don't forget about Thaydfest at 6pm EST sat night!"  "Warplots are 9est on friday nights on the entity server, be there cupcakes!" "More guilds are killing Avatus finally!!111!!"  --- or even, "Notably, Enigma has competed the invincible challenge," "Gatlike Warplot is still the highest ranked," "Arenas are booming, with Hankster in the lead of 2v2!" "So-and-so did the fastest speed run I've ever seen!" "Check out this sweet AT-AT x made in his housing plot!"  Talk about videos people are making for your game.  Encourage content creators. Spotlight spotlight spotlight.  There is so much you could be doing if this is a community focused stream.
 
5.  Promote PTR playtests.  The things need to be tested, and it it isn't important enough to be promoted on the livestream, then why is it important enough to even test in the first place?"
 
6.  Less time goofing off / making noises / inside jokes with your hosts, more time with actual information.  Respect the audience.  Respect the community.  Some people actually have to work at their jobs / have limited time, and would rather watch a livestream / youtube VoD of actual content and information, not sift through pointless jabber / jumping up and down.  That's not flavor and style of the stream-- that's a lack of preparedness / forethought.
 
7.  From a technical standpoint--  CRB studios develops MMOs as a product. Surely someone there can help with all of the technical aspects of the livestream.  You can livestream on twitchtv @ 1080p 60fps with a 100$ logitech webcam, a standalone microphone, a 200$ media card, and a decent internet connection.  Now, I don't know the best place to find some internet / pc savvy individuals, but I'd say a MMO studio is a good place to look.
 
Anyway that's my opinion.

			I for one enjoyed zero to fifty, never took it overly serious, just a bit of fun. That being said I understand why some found it wanting. Tony and crew are really likable and I looked forward to seeing what mayhem and fails they would regularly get into. There's a few decent ideas on here but I'm not sure how involved it would be to implement some of them. My biggest concern would be that the weekly show will fall by the way side as there is only so much they can innovate on a weekly bases. It's easy to say add this and that but I'm sure It's no where near that simple. The fact they cut the Nexus report because they simply didn't have enough weekly info for it should be a warning I reckon. I'm sure though that they'll come up with something that appeals to more of the player base and keep it as fresh as possible, at least I hope so. Please keep it as a weekly show if you can, quite a few of us look forward to watching you guys. Good luck with the revamp  :)	
----
			
I've said plenty in my comments on the locked thread in general, so I'll just add a bit more and leave it at that.
 
1. Whatever you choose to do with the stream, do a dry run beforehand. "Winging it" is not a professional way to operate.
 
2. I get that you may not actually want to play the game. But if you're being paid to present the game, you ought to do the best job at it that you can. That means putting the time in to learning how the game works. Whether you like playing WildStar or not, that's the job you were given, so do it well.
 
3. Along those lines, the stream should be about WildStar, not about the presenters. Charisma is great, but people are tuning in to see other people talk about their hobby.
 
4. I wholeheartedly support Eclips' suggestion to more prominently feature community events. Honestly those events are what's holding your livelihood together, so the more people that know about them and participate in them, the better.
 
5. Finally, there are plenty of great streamers out there already in other MMOs. Look at what they are doing, and incorporate the best practices for yourself. Remember: it's not stealing if you call it benchmarking.
 
Edit: sorry one more... Promote the freaking 10-day trial!

Hey Tony, first of all don't take it hard on yourself that we didn't all enjoy your escapades levelling up, you are a funny guy and a great entertainer! I made some points in the previous thread that I thought I could flesh out and you could take into account for your new livestream :)
 
1. Get involved!
I think this is the biggest thing I want to put here. If you want to look like hands on devs who care about your subbers, make it that way. First things first, get yourself an EU account! I've seen cougar come visit two or three times so I know you devs can do it. It's important that you make time for both NA and EU, and make time to have fun with people on both sides of the sea. People will stay up or be around to be on the show from EU, there's no doubt about that! One thing that has been hugely lacking is EU support, our events get ignored and unpromoted.
 
2. Community involvement
I feel that to make wildstar stream really work, you need to speak to more of the community. Be it go on a bg spam with eclips and let him talk about the best builds for newbie pvpers, have a night where you check out popular guides on the internet and then try them out, a housing night, a night where you go along for an attunement run in a dungeon, a night where you get people from the community explain their build and tactics for certain fights. Checking out events, going to people's plots, randomly duelling people. Show the people who are watching how much there is to DO, and how many people there are to do it with!
 
3. Dev time
Yeah! We'd like to get to know some of you, just a 5 minute segment where you show some cool things that you got up to this week (sneaky peaks >.>) and interview a member of staff just for 30 seconds about their favourite character in wildstar or their favourite class. It would be fun to see and would also bring the community closer to the devs. Like eclips said, even the silly nerf wars at the studio, talk about how amazing it was etc :P. Keeping little snippets of new things is enough to keep people tuning in, even if it's just concept art :)
 
4. Enjoy yourselves
Tony, if you like housing make a 5-15 segment on it, show people things that people have built, build something, have building competitions live with you taking part!
 
5. Mix it up
Try and do something different every week. There is loads to do on wildstar. PvP, PvE, Farming, discussing tactics, housing, dyes, runes, meeting guilds and people, lowbie things. Seriously, there is so much you could put into different shows :)
 
6. Try and better yourself
Now Tony, I know you're trying but you should make a little more effort with learning to play by yourself and find a way to be competent at max level. You have a great personality, but you not being able to do the content will not make new viewers want to play the game, it certainly makes me cringe a little... I'm a huge backseat gamer 
 
7. Advertise the hell out of the game, say how much fun you are having. Mention the free trials and the cool mystery boxes. Use the mount and say "ooh I got this out of that mystery box you get for buying the game!".. Make them want it. More moneys for you.	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
I don't tune into twitch.tv/wildstar to watch someone explain to the host how to move / keybind / press buttons 6 weeks into the show. I could get that from any old stream, not the official stream.
----
			
Well Tony, I hope this doesn't mean your going to stop leveling.  Despite what many people are saying, many of us actually do want to see you get better at playing the game we all love. 
 
There were problems with the stream and I'm happy that you and Carbine are re-focusing your energy at producing a better live-stream. There are a lot of suggestions in this thread, and I'm sure there will be more.  Take these posts with a grain of salt, there are some good ideas here but a lot of them are rigid suggestions from a vocal minority that wouldn't be good for a mass market advertisement. 
 
If I may be as bold to suggest something, recognize who your audience is and give something to all of them.  By taking great liberties with generalization, there are viewers who have played your game and people who haven't. 
 
For those who haven't, they come to see what the game is like; it's combat, its story, its virtual presence, etc. Showing gameplay with new and interesting features targets this market beautifully. It also has to be diverse, for if a new viewer becomes a returned viewer they expect to see something new, interesting, and more exciting than the week before.  Being warm, inviting and funny is just a few things you do very well Tony. The stream just needs a little work at  presenting a professional aura with diverse and interesting content.
 
For those who have played the game, well they come for a completely different reason. For these viewers, they have already played the content you are showing. Many of them a few times considering alts and such.  They know how quests work, they know the combat and the story, and have already decided if that's something they will latch onto. For these players, you need community and information.  For the community, they want to converse and interact with each other; promotion is a good start but what about actually going to an event, recording it, then showing it on stream later on? 
 
We also like some juicy information. *rubs hands together* Teases at what's coming up next, tidbits of drop 17 stuff, a look behind the curtain, that stuff is what really get the us going. 
 
~Lord Rhodrick
 
P.S.  The grain of salt applies to me as well.  This is just a suggestion and is composed of my opinions.  Good Luck Tony! I'll be waiting to watch when the live-stream comes back.	
----
			
	
do a sound and system check 15 minutes before you go live
	
	
have the content worked out and ready before you broadcast
	
	
	
if you don't have time to fully organise a feature, then don't show it
	
	
	
give the fans information, not asking for trade secrets! Lots of cool toys and pets in drop 5, most of us would have been happy if you had shown us! Missed opportunity! Web sites and media would have picked this up and set the hype train rolling
	
	
	
don't let devs waste time trying to reason with trolls in chat, ignore or remove them
	
	
	
have housing videos pre-recorded
	
	
	
share the love, we in the EU also have Wildstar
	
	
	
Tony is a really bad WS player (can't play for poop) but he's really good in other ways, if you use him and other devs in the correct manner, I think you will present a more relaxed and professional show
	
	
	
holidays we missed them....we really did, most have seen footage of events, next time your live or in the near future please start dropping information, once again not asking for trade secrets or spoilers
	
	
	
involve all the games content, the PTR server would be a great way to do Carbine V Carbine PvP matches now and then

Lots of good information in this thread, a lot of community involvement and preparation before streams being common.  You could help get exposure to different areas of the game by allowing community members to stream on the channel, rather than just occasionally hosting.  If you set up a schedule for these guest streamers, and what they usually focus on (Raids, Dungeons, Adventures, PvP, RP, Leveling, etc).  It would also help the streamer gain more recognition and boost their own channels as well.
 
There are problems, though, that come with it.  The guest must be trusted to represent the game well, to not give out any private information (like the stream key), and be overall a good person to watch.  You would also need mods available during these times, so you would have to have people who can do that.  As well, it can potentially have a negative impact on some streamers, if people stop visiting them in preference of the Wildstar channel.
 
It can potentially work, but it would require the community to help take up the burden of getting the game known, and providing content.  The guys at SmiteGame did this kind of thing for a while (running the channel 24/7).  While I wouldn't do anything that ambitious, having 1-3 days of content for 4-5 hours each would go a long way.  Perhaps reach out to them and see what they did for it.

Tony,
you are a vivacious bundle of joy, but you really need someone to bounce off, and that person needs to be there everytime, so that you can develop a language and routine together.  You also need to listen to the "producer", it is good if you arent worried about legality, social mores or appropriate responses/behavior- all comedy develops from poking fun at what is considered normal, but someone does need to be concerned with these things, and they need to be connected to you (preferably via an in-ear monitor system, your guests dont need one but hosts should all have a set).
Your tech set up needs to be more than rudimentary.  A hardware lighting desk AND sound desk is better than pure software, though hybrid hardware/software is usually best, these don't need to be 48 channel beasts, 2x4channel lighting desks and an 8 channel mixer should do fine.  Train the person who is going to operate them.  Mic'ing up guests should be done by someone other than the sound, lighting or camera techs.
 
Content should be set out a few shows before hand so that you can keep each show feeling full.  Ideally a running list should be a collaborative process so that each show has a "flow" built into it, something that is hard to achieve without at least one pair of outside eyes/ears to bounce it off before hand.  Keeping this process going can be laborious but should be natural beside Wildstar's development schedule (dont forget you can showcase stuff on your test server for example.).  Segments do not have to occur every show, only as  needed/wanted.  
 
You have a wealth of material, both comedic and informational, don't forget about social issues, game issues, in-game issues, player issues (i still remember that show where you gave away copies of the game to people in need).  A dev Vlog is not a gamer Vlog, there are things you must do differently, but as an official Vlog you can help to set up the community feeling and love for the Game, make the most of this with call outs and screen shots, let the devs sneak ninja shots of stuff ingame and post them on the Vlog to surprise and entertain people, pride and a sense of belonging go a long way towards players feeling ownership of a game.
 
but mostly:
there is a reason a good interview show has only one interviewer.
there are many reasons why good talk shows have more than one host (or multiple simultaneous guests to bounce).
Tech staff and their work should be invisible unless its a shout out, if viewers are noticing tech its either because they work in the industry or because something has gone wrong. Don't be afraid to run a tech rehearsal if anything changes or something new is added).

			PRO TIPS: HERE IS HOW YOU GET AN AMAZING STREAM GOING.	
----
			
I am so very sad right now. I looked forward to signing into the stream and just chit-chatting and shooting the rare zinger into the the stream. I'm sorry that you guys felt you needed to take it down. I hope this isn't some kind of harbinger of bad things to come. I live for silly and fun. I loved being there for that one pivotal moment 'That's not a dungeon.' And there are so many great people who I wish I could meet in real life, DasMoose, Doomkitty, Shadowblades....just to name a few.
 
You've got an amazing community of people who are more than willing to lend their talents.Give them a direction as far as what you need to see or show, I guarantee you will be swamped with material.
 
Call it: This Week in Wildstar. Do interviews of NPCs, have people do 'reporting', make sure to have both factions covered. And first and foremost be funny. It worked for John Stewart, it can work for you guys too.
 
Brainstorming now, the Sports segment can be all about PvP stuff...Even some hot topics like DS gear vs PvP gear.
 
Why does everything I like have to get phased out....? WHY?

I have to say, I never really got into the Zero-to-50 streams because they didn't present things in a format that worked for me. While it's nice to have community involvement, it requires me being able to be involved for it to be fun for me. Since these were shown during my work hours, and I couldn't participate, I lost interest relatively quickly. I rarely watch twitch streams of people playing and that outlet is there already if anyone needs to watch it that way.  I don't think the 0-50's that I did watch held any new information; it was watching someone play and level their character.
 
In comparison, I couldn't wait to watch the Wildstar Weekly because it was informative and could be played at any time... I could even sometimes sneak in a few minutes watching at work without feeling like I was missing out on the community aspect or having to "catch up".
 
Chemistry between Frost and Rey was fantastic for the show, and made it fun.
 
If I could design the show, it would be a shorter format, 20-30 minutes, with presentations of new upcoming features, player events and highlights of stuff currently in the game. If written well, jokes and humor would be interjected as well throughout the show. Maybe something like a cross between The Daily Show and SNL's "Weekend Update" -- back when it was funny, I mean, with two hosts to bounce humor and good-natured ribbing off each other.
 
Additionally, we'd see more Flicks and Devspeaks again as well for in-depth descriptions of the presentations in the show. These are also great to show to friends; several people that began playing Wildstar with me were sold because of the Flicks and Devspeaks.

Tony you are a helluva host. Who cares, you are not the best MMO gamer around? Most of us aren't as well, so this is a particular thing that makes you even more simpathetic to us.
 
When it comes to quality streaming, you Stream guys stil should learn some tricks from other people. This aside there is another feedback, that I agree with many posters here:
Most of your shows were about 1 hour long. And you captured mostly one main theme per show. Better you do different short segments. Therer are tons of informations and QA about WildStar and staff. Already have here great ideas, no need for me to repeat them. The important ting is, do not allow the watcher to get fatigued watching the show for over an hour.
 
Than one thing about doing play sessions on EU Servers. People, do you even realised, that the man lives in the US? At least there is a 7 hours gap between them and us. When is he going to play on the EU servers to meet the most of us? At 2am on his side or at 10pm on ours? This is ridiculos. You have to understand he is just a man and no WildStar Machine. <_<

Call it the "EU Streaming Assistant" if you would.
 
Not intended to be a show focused on the EU side - it shouldn't really be focused on either side. It just gives exposure and features both sides of the world in the stream. Which I whole-heartedly agree with.

			yesterday some twitch streamers were doing a Q&A to the devs, to teach them how to do sucesfull stream on games, is hinted that soon we will see the devs playing their game , and thats cool that the ones who create this world giving us advice and showing us nexus

			Doing a show in Twitch is not the same as buildig a show for youtube. For YOutube it works quite the same as a normal tv show. Intros, outros, segments, scripts. It has way more into it as just controlling the meta tech.

			So when are we going to see a new, informative, and mature show start up?	
----
			
First of all, yes please, and do a proper news tag, which can be seen and found easily.
 
Second, please upload those twiches into youtobe or another online video platform for people who want to watch it, but can't be live on the show.

The 40-60 people who actually watched the livestream live are just a drop in the bucket of the thousands of f2pers that they're looking to target with marketing material.
 
The 2 hours a day they spent on the livestream could be much better spent on things for the f2p launch.
 
...and it's not like we're really missing anything, there was almost no useful information, ever.
