Drakkolich Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 (edited) This Saturday October 4th at 7pm Est I plan to stream myself playing with the intention to teach new commers or just anyone that wants to see anything specific for Gsf. If anyone is interested in this on the forums drop a post below detailing what you would like to see on stream. Also if the time is an issue let me know below and I can try to work around maybe doing a few of these streams if enough people are interested. I can do any ship build that is requested and I also don't mind going to play on other servers as well (however most other servers will be stock ships). I hope to have a team with me so I can answer questions easier while flying. If there isn't any interest in the educational part it will probably just end up being me streaming flying as usual so feel free to drop by for just that. I'm hoping by scheduling it a few days ahead I can get more people to ask questions live. Either way I'll put a link to video of the stream afterwards. Edit: Alright I have the whole 3 hour stream with links to it here. Part 1 Part 2 I also said I'd put a few links in here to everyone I talked about. Damage Overcharge Maps All of my ship builds Numbers for how much different things regenerate I'd like to appologize for the sound quality during the stream I was told halfway that the audio was having issues I thought I had fixed it but no one complained afterwards so we ended up with really low sound on others in mumble and game sounds. I will definitely fix these issues for my following streams. Edited October 5, 2014 by Drakkolich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davionix Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I know this is basic and is supposed to be covered by tutorial but can you show how to shoot with blasters for new people. How they have to shoot at the circle, how they can understand when their target is in their weapon range ( difference between gray and red circle ) Also if you can get a chance to show how to approach a satellite with turrets and / or mines at it and how to deal with them ( turrets, mines or players to dispatch first depending on ship & loadout ) it would be nice. I believe another good pointer would be to show how to deal with an orbiter at a contested satellite ( like a bomber for example ) with a strike / scout. If opportunity rises showing some evasive flying instead of orbiting around a satellite can be useful as well. For TDM using cover to break line of sight for defense and offense purposes would be nice albeit a bit bothersome topic to demonstrate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep I can definitely show off all this stuff, the trick will be finding spots to show it off. I gather from your tone this isn't for you then, do you have some friends or something that you will be telling to watch? I'm trying to get an idea of if a lot of people are interested in watching this that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verain Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Oh, show the tech for shooting people at serious point blank range too. I'd also say, call out some defensive maneuvering and why and how. Try to point out when a food ship is acting like a food ship and how not to do that (ex, flies straight line slowly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryuku-sama Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Also try to explain all different weapons and how to use them best. It's probably one of the worst problem newbies have. They don't know how to use their weapons correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My stream link is in my signature. How to increase your accuracy with BLCs How to use Powerdive effectively. And, if you don't mind cause I know you dislike the Bloodmark, the effective use of Ionmissile and myabe (if possible) EMP-missile. And...are you recording your stream? Because I don't know if I will be able to witness it live in 3D and colored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes everything will be recorded but I do need some people to show up and ask questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drakkolich Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 So sadly I went and rewatched the video and my game sounds and mumble voices from my teamates were really really low. I'm going to put the video of it up anyways as you can hear me talking quite clearly but for the next and future streams I'm going to fix the sound for sure. Sorry about that guys.

Verain Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 It's ok, that strange rant Stasie did about how Obama is the seventh Reptile Alien president, and the only one of the Eldest Bloodline, was pretty far out there anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyghtrunner Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Just wanted to chime in and say thanks for taking the time to do this. I watched the vids Sunday night, and even though I've been flying since day 1, I still learned a few things. The volume for everything but you was indeed low, but when people were quiet, you could still hear others chiming in, and what they were saying. The only time it was really sadface was when you were in a match with lots of things going on, because typically, your mates would get lost in the shuffle of game noises and such.

Thanks for watching I'm in the process of working out the sound problems and I think I'm pretty close now. I have been thinking of making this a weekly thing, I had no idea how much interest there would actually be and was pleasantly surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paladrima Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) I'm looking forward to watch it, but somehow the loading is slow to me on twitch Having the exact same problem here, twitch vods' loading has been abnormally terrible and slow for me for a while now too Hope they fix that problem soon, as for a newer player like myself (been playing for a couple weeks now, ~170 matches done, still hitting an asteroid here and there, damn retro thrusters ) I feel like I could learn a good amount from it. Generally already feeling more confident and less "useless" in some situations, but useful tips and tricks can never hurt.

Does it work if you just give it a ton of time to load maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakkolich Posted October 17, 2014 Author Share Posted October 17, 2014 I did some playing on only stock ships today, added them all to the highlights on my twitch account. You can also find links for all the videos in this thread if that is easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy-Wolf Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Just wanted to let you know that I not only requested a few things, but that I also watched your episodes and learned a lot of them. Thanks for doing that. I even equipped a few ships of mine with powerdive. It is a bit sad, that you can't hear your teammates very clearly cause they give very good advice, too. but other than that it is a "must-see" for every new GSF-Pilot. Keep doing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
