Caenth 3,893 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Those are some steep demands ... that is the way to do it. But people will still complain anyway. Crowfall needs promotion people, streamers can provide that for 'free'. More promotion equals more backers equals more money for ACE. This is a good thing! pang, keefii and Greenfox21 3 THE most active European Crowfall community. Join us now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headlight 5,744 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Very steep demands. What you're essentially saying is that you want to provide promotions for well established streamers that stream other games to stream your game. Can't argue with the marketing. mal 1 RIP Louis "Snax" Garcia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like said they need money as a small indie dev team, so promotions like this can only help. Bring more backers and more players to the game, not sure how thats bad.

Zachdidit 151 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I agree 100% with the demands. They're looking for streamers that will get the word out. The die hard fans have already invested in the game and are either already in the test or will be soon. This is mostly marketing. My only qualm is that while it's fun, I'd hope to see some things fixed before a greater public sees the game. Latency and other game disturbing bugs mostly. The fans are already watching the streams and youtube videos the current pre-alphas are putting up. We're forgiving of the general wonkiness that goes on. I don't think a general public who knows nothing about the game would be. I'd hate to see one of these invite streamers get in game, get hit with 500 ping, exclaim "This game is crap" and steer their viewers away instead of towards the game.

VIKINGNAIL 5,680 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I have no problem with them trying to get streamers in on it... a popular streamer has so much marketing power in this day and age... I will say that this game is far too early in development to be advertising in that way IMO and streaming it may do more harm than help. In the end if they make a good game it isn't going to matter either way, it will eventually grow... but showing people the current hunger dome experience isn't really going to excite gamers imo.... people that it would excite, the super committed fans, are already following.... I think the game won't really be streamworthy til probably beta or late alpha....

teh_ninjaneer 493 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Maybe I'll finally get to play. Sent in my application. Probably not qualified enough for it though. Unsure why you would apply for a limited number of pre-alpha combat test sessions when your sapphire badge over there will eventually get you in. But do what you gotta do I guess. As for the announcement itself, I'm not sure if this is the right time to get the hardcore streamers on the bandwagon. It could possibly generate some hype, or it might cause people to pick apart the true alpha state of the game. It seems like there are some competent and dedicated streamers already in testing, why not let them promote Crowfall? fuey500, KRIPTIK, realblankspace and 2 others 5 Sorry you turned into a two-bit carebear whose feelings get hurt over forum banter.

realblankspace 183 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I shared the information on social media. Hopefully it will bring in some more people to be interested in Crowfall.

Jihan 5,468 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Streamers are the "press" of modern gaming, and this is basically an offer of press passes to the game. Press passes to shows and events have been used to drum up business since at least the time of the Civil War. This is a time honored tradition updated in light of modern realities; I don't see anything to complain about here as long as the streamers/journalists they select for passes do a good job.

Ispep 2 Share Posted September 10, 2015 (edited) I don't really talk alot on the forums as I like to sit back and watch and review the whole topic, however this decision I disagree with...It should be open to everyone's, Some people need a great game to get there channel started, so why not give them a chance?

Sublimity 18 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Welp, I do not qualify. Boo. I doubt I will either, but I will throw in an app anyways. You never know. It has been a blast to stream thus far. I know I have made some viewers happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pann 8,689 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 If we are already apart of Alpha 1 testing, will we need to apply for streamer exclusive testing as well? No, Elz. This only applies to people who don't have their own accounts. As a backer, you are entitled to stream your little pink pigtails off. araielle and panpear 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miltenacious 56 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I am a novice YouTuber, and I do wanna help promote the game through visual media, but I sadly don't meet all the qualifications. I am in the lower tier beta groups, but I want to do something somehow to promote the game via my channel if were provided something and assistance...
