I think most people will be fine. If you work with a 56K modem out of a trailer, you will not.


LOL -- Thanks for the into.

You mentioned FRAPS -- you might check out Action!

I'm rather green with this stuff but hated converting the former and am having success with the later to include with large scale Mount & Blade battles.

There is a free trial as well. I really like it but I'm a casual user so there may be things about it FRAPs people don't like.

My PC should be OK, the CPU was really made for this kinda stuff (AMD 8350 FX) -- my dated (but decent) graphics card hopefully won't be as much an issue and I need more RAM anyway. I"m not sure about my ISP -- 10Mbps d/l -- 1.5 upload -- (the best I can get where I live) not sure about limits.

There needs to be a change before this feature goes in. CCP will you please comment on this?

Twitch.tv is awesome and has revolutionized the way gaming is enjoyed in my opinion. If I am considering purchasing a game I can ask the host live about his experiences with the game he is broadcasting and this is helping to protect consumers from bad games.

However, EVE is different. And a glaring overpowered series of modules (my opinion and yes it is not considered an exploit by CCP) Can turn this good idea into yet another way for one group to get an advantage over a smaller group.

Yes what I am speaking of is the ability to go away from the computer while cloaked. If you go to Twitch.tv and the EVE section you will notice quite a few of the top streams are providing intel on systems with no real possibility to remove the person broadcasting from the area. And even if they could. The low cost of the module and ship to use it will mean they can simply return when the time is right.

CCP please answer this. Is this what you want to see happen with your Twitch SDK? If not. Will you finally take this time to address the ability to remain away from the client while cloaked?


Right, because this kind of usage isn't available is any other form for a myriad of other live stream content provides or softwares (VLC). So, absolutely, this will ruin the game once Twitch is integrated. Roll

My concern is CCP doesn't have a good track record deploying revolutionizing features.....WiS anyone? How badly is it going to affect game performance? What happens when Twitch goes under? And will is create a condition of streaming exclusivity to Twitch by design and/or performance impact when utilizing third party streaming?

Don't ban me, bro!

The question is Do they intend for this to happen? Or will there finally be a change in the cloaking modules to address the ability to go away from the client while cloaked? Of course it is happening now. The most popular streams don't even show gameplay.

I don't really think this makes much difference... perhaps a few seconds are saved by not having to tell someone else what is happening in the target system, they can see it for themselves. Since your spy will be on voice coms anyway, that's not much of an advantage.

What if your spy wants to go on a date? Or to school? No problem just activate cloak and you are good to go for intel. Now you don't even have to install Open Broadcaster!

Point is. It will and IS happening now. What I want to know from CCP. Is this REALLY what you want? Or you will finally take the time to do something about it?

If your spy wants to go on a date, use one of the thousands of other alt spys you have at your disposal (speaking on an alliance level). Spy alts are a dime a dozen.

This is simply one more way to achieve the same end, and still takes one account dedicated to sitting in that system.
