Raid streaming on Twitch

Blux · #1 04-22-2015, 01:01 PM

Does anyone know of any guild that currently streams their raids on twitch regularly?

None of the top end ones do as far as I know. I'll stream hate/fear armor clears and such, but you won't see many people doing real raids. If there's a way to keep TS/Vent audio from streaming via OBS, more would probably do it though.

I doubt it, because twitch is real time people watching (like other guilds) would know exactly where and how your guild is deployed. Who would freely give away more information than necessary?

Things to consider:
Guild's target, content and communication

Depending on raid class some targets are more desirable and contested.
Is it smart to broadcast this?
Twitch streams are generally anywhere from 10-45 second delays not technically live perse. If stream sniping occurs does having proof help or hinder the review process from a GM standpoint?

Is this new content that a guild may be going thru the learning process, and teaching others attending the raid basics? Guild tactics and such?

Guild chatter/tells can be covered and hidden. If VOIP is used any good streamer will be able to control what is and isn't broadcast to the viewers.

There are definitely some positives and and negatives that can come from streaming a raid. Should it be done? That's debatable. Can it be done properly and professionally. Definitely.

you can use virtual audio cable to split vent/ts from not going on twitch. I know mycandavith(sp) does it, but I don't know how to do it.

Maybe I don't understand what a dog eat dog world the raiding scene is.

But i think being completely transparent (including guild vent) would a great stream and I am calling dibs on it.

Stay tuned for details.

Calling dibs? Hah. Not sure how that works.

I have streamed a PoSky raid as an invite.

If you need tips setting up or advice. I would gladly help with my limited knowledge. I personally would like to remain optimistic about the twitch.tv thing as a whole.

GL with the stream and please keep us up to date.

Step 1: Put up large green sheet.

I could tell you where every guild is and what mob they're attempting to go for within 10s of looking at lockouts and mob windows. It's no secret who's going for what.

The main issue for "high end" guilds not streaming is that I (or anyone else I know in TMO/Rampage) don't know how to be able to hear my elfmates in TS without it broadcasting to every turdburglar in my stream.
