Hello


so I work all day in the EST zone and all of fanfest is when I am at work this has not been an issue in the past I come home and hit the replays but this year you all or twitch tv I don't know is asking for me to pay for the replays. I pay you guys every month not only on EvE but on dust in the way of booster packs I think I give you all the money I need to. all I like to do is come home and see what is going on in a fan fest that I don't have the money to attend myself. well maybe it's for the best seem to me all lies on the dust side every year and the EvE side is not much better.

Sigh....

You need to buy the HD stream to get instant rewatch of the fan fest events. Or you need wait a few days.

This was the exact same last year.

And the year before...

And damn it, i have become a forum whore.. =(

Riddle me this: Is Twitch the only place to go caught up on FanFest?

Yeh I'm pretty disappointed too

I can't afford to play the HD stream 'cos my net costs a lot per megabyte. The stream runs at a time where I'd prefer to sleep, and I don't want to buy the subscription (since I don't want HD and I'd have to sign up to twitch as well) just to watch replays on 'mobile' quality.

In contrast to Fanfest two years ago, where CCP ran a second stream 12 hours after the live stream, it feels like a cashgrab. Taking away options so you can charge for them. "Fanfest for the fans"

You weren't. Twich replays take a day or two to start, otherwise why charge for the HD stream at all?

there is reddit, and even imgur if you know what you are looking for. It's honestly not hard.

This is as nice as I get. Best quote ever https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=4137165#post4137165

A rant is a post that is often filled with angry and counterproductive comments. A free exchange of ideas is essential to building a strong sense of community and is helpful in development of the game and community. Rants are disruptive, and incite flaming and trolling. Please post your thoughts in a concise and clear manner while avoiding going off on rambling tangents.

Thread locked.

The HD stream is great, trust me Blink. Well worth a PLEX, especially since the ship+shirts will sell for more than a PLEX after a while. Just a pro tip.
