I see Jaxx streams. I follow anyone who does in here that I know about. It can't hurt getting people to learn about the game. It is not an easy game, that is for certain. I record all of my fights from it in a bit better quality than what I get with the AH films. I was having trouble with the player crashing and only being able to save files as an AVI format which I have to convert to mp4 for me to edit.
I also can start and to streaming with hotkeys I assigned, when there is action and when there isn't.
I guess using Twitch to find players who are streaming is against the rules?? I am giving permission for anyone to find me on Twitch...just take a second and hit the follow button!
To be honest I'm not sure if it is against the rules or not...
I have a scene set up to just display an image if I need to tab out or something. I have an image that goes over the map if necessary but I usually just keep map usage to a minimum. I also have an image that goes over the text buffer. I'm not particularly worried about 'stream snipers' for me because no one really watches my stream, but you never know when someone might pop in and think "Hey, this is a cool game, I'm gonna try it out" so that's why I do it.
It also is minimal effort to have the stream up on a 2nd monitor and someone tracks your every move. This is my worry, not so much when we're defending an objective in FSO, but one person could see my map of where our strike package is and then we get jumped a long way from target.
With that said, FSO is generally 30-45 mins of flight and 10 mins of action with some possible 2nd hour fights. Some people love it, some people hate it.
