I wasn't sure whether to drop this on any of the 100 afk-cloakers are killing eve threads or this one, but I decided that here a dev might actually read it so...

It occured to me that unless CCP is going to decide for the players how twitch integration is to be used, a counter to afk cloaking should not be introduced (if any were even being considered) for some time. Many of the potential surveillance benefits of twitch integration would come via stationary cloaked ships imo. While recording in-game video was possible prior to this using 3rd party software, if client-integration causes it to become a much more utilized tool, then introducing a counter to the afk cloak would severely impact any potential twitch surveillance functions imo.

If a wh corp ceo wants to record a stream of all ships entering/exiting his corp's wh whilst at work, he now has an integrated tool that may make his afk surveillance activity the first to be truly conducive to pgc - unless we allow other cov ops frigs to destroy his ship.

It's certainly debatable, but for now, it's my opinion that we should give this new feature time to mature and see how the players are using it before implementing changes which would severely curtail it's use.

If you add streaming, you also need to add an ingame vlc-like videoplayer, or to integrate flash video into the ingame browser.
BTW, IGB needs love, much more love than twitch. And, as a side note, you could add adjustable transparency feature to the IGB - it would make IGB much more usable.

CCP should also add an integrated operating system, industrial crane controller, and a coffee maker.

And I should be able to run all of this from inside Emacs.

Like many have said, this feature looked promising. But I wont be using it until the more than common 1920 X 1080 is available. Or atleast not adjusts the client to the stream.

We are restricted in what resolutions we can offer based on the twitch SDK, but you can select from a wide range of options and then you can also choose the framerate all the way up to 60fps and then we automatically adjust the bitrate to handle your framerate selection.


I'm not really understanding what the stream resolution has to do with the actual game resolution. I was really excited about this feature but I bet like most players I was disappointed when twitch stream changed my games resolution to half my screens. So for those with larger monitors, it's either play with a bad resolution or don't stream at all?
Do other third party streaming softwares also have this effect?

Is there gonna be a hotkey to start and stop the stream?


This is something we will consider but obviously we don't want people accidentally streaming when they don't want to.


If you guys ever decide to add a shortcut for it, maybe you could simply leave it blank and let the users map it.
