    *Folds his arms*

    Honestly, BranFlakes, I'm torn...

    On the one hand, after the last Livestream, I actually joined Twitch specifically to take active part in these, to be able to ask questions and enter the drawings and such, so I am pleased another one is taking place so soon...

    But on the other hand, I'm among those who can't get in-game, so - I know it's not meant this way, but still - it feels a little like I'm being taunted by something I can't have... I'm not blaming you or the Dev Team, Brandon, I know it happens, but it's still frustrating...

    On another hand, however, you did mention that a possible fix to that problem was undergoing in-house testing, so it might, if we're really lucky, get rolled out as part of this Thursday's maintenance/patch, which would mean the livestream would just whet my appetite and then I could get into the game afterwards...

    And yes, I know that would make me some kind of three-handed freak of nature. Heh.

    So, besides the obvious Starter Packs, any idea what the prizes might be yet?

    These livestreams are a GREAT idea. Keep 'em coming! They are a lot better than any tutorial.

    Fix is coming and should be in game by then. I will be watching.

    Request: I want during a battle with the Viriosaurus Rex for Branflakes to walk his guy up to it and yell at it, "WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM?" and than bust out some anime song while he and the group with him kick it's aft back to the Mezosoic Era!

    Can you please give away a mirror 2150s outfit? I want it so bad I could die (Ok, not enough to pay 5.50 for in game glam that could be spent on lockbox keys, but whatever)

    Don't know if i'll watch the livestream, but I may join you in-game :D

    Although on second thoughts; 1am? Yeah, no thanks. That's too early/late for my blood.

    Yeah please next time think about the europeans as well because this timing is after(or around depends on your timezone) midnight and i think a lot of people are sleeping in that time period.

    I will try and vary up the timeslots (and have since the last one), but to be honest, the timezone is always going to be inconvenient for some of our players :(

    The last one was at noon PST, and it was too early in the day for some players because they were still at work or school. This one is at 5pm PST and it's too late for some players because it's late at night for them.

    I plan on doing Livestreams much more often, and will continue to vary up the times, but it will unfortunately always be inconvenient for at least some players due to timezones, other commitments, etc.

    Thanks for understanding and know that I will continue to switch up the timeslots as often as possible so everyone has a chance to tune in live (Remember! The recorded version should be available right after the stream finishes). :)

    Cheers,

    Brandon =/\=

    Out of curiousity, is this Battlezone Livestream partially in response to people wanting you to finish the Battlezone and fight the boss during the Season 8 Preview Livestream?

    I do seriously want to see Branflakes walk up to the Viriosaurus Rex with just a bat'leth and yell at it "Who the hell do you think I am!" and proceed to beat it with that bat'leth (probably won't happen but would be awesome if he did beat one with said weapon,the KDF would go nuts).

    Yea i completely understand why it is hard to make at the right time but i wanted to say only that you must prioritize, you can stream for 2 completely different timezones without much problem i think (if you have free time), for example i think after America, Europe is the biggest continent for playing Star Trek Online.
    Only thing i want to say if you are streaming in the early afternoon in America/USA we can see it in the early night in Europe(The time difference is around 7-10 hours so if you stream at 1:00 PM we can watch at 8-11 PM.).
    Just please think about this and then i think you can "reach" the most views.

    Ok who was trolling Brandon with the fire extinguishers and the disco balls? Brandon was doing his best to avoid them I see - switching zones - then having his rep window cover the screen - really people grow up just a bit!!

    I was not trying to call anyone out specifically - just wondering:rolleyes:

    Those people should watch the playback and see just how distracting the behaviour is for the viewers. Anyways Brandon nice job of the run and nice job ignoring the distractions without showing any irritation:eek:

    I was there watching the Livestream and in the Chat (but not in the game - 18897741)...

    I could deal with the lag, I could deal with the video sometimes jumping and skipping, but when BranFlakes was trying to show off the Dyson Rep System, who or whatever was making all that noise was definately ruining part of the fun of it all. I don't know about anyone else, but it was so loud that it was actually giving me a headache...

    Awesome! I wish I'd been able to make it, but I was watching Thor 2 in celebration of getting a free ride to college at the time.

    Long story.

    Point is, you do a great job running an entertaining infomercial despite the trolls, and I have to say that the Sphere is my new favorite expansion. It's worth dying all those times to get the easy dilithium.

    Your sincerely,

    It's just dancing and having a good time isn't it? That's why they made those disco balls right? Only seems logical folks would want to dance with a dev. Why would you not want to showcase disco dancing in a war zone to prospective players? It's not immersion breaking is it? /sarcasm off

    I didn't do this, would never do this, but am somewhat glad somebody else did to show how out of place and annoying being forced to dance in STO is.

    On the whole, glad you're making these videos, and I did actually pick up a helpful bit of info. I'm also liking the 350 marks = 5 commendations assignment. Good work there, frees me up to enjoy multiple areas of the game.
