So who are the likely Alpha players to post content when the NDA is lifted?

Pretty sure it's supposed to be just content after May 14th.

That`s what I thought too, but wondered as the impact of that means that there will be streaming to view immediately but any analytical or in-depth content will lag.

Well, there will be a Livestream a week after the May testing, so questions should be very interesting.
Should be quite a bit of analysis then.
And then a few days after that, we have the month-long test.
Shouldn't be too bad of a wait.

(Plus, just let us know what you'd like us to try to demo... you could probably do some of your own analysis.)

Thanks..will do

I believe too the overlap of NDA to Non-NDA in that schedule is because there is a chance there might be "spot testing" before the next available Non-NDA sessions, which will be handled separately.

As @Dygz has mentioned, the e-mail going out this week will 100% define the parameters of sharing for my fellow testers. If you will not be testing, I once again invite you to watch our channels--many of us may be small but I guarantee the content will be worthwhile!

I would actually enjoy a stream with a very in-depth look at the metrics gathered, what the issues were and how they're looking to fix them if they don't already do so during the testing period.

It might be a little too technical or boring for many, but it would give a lot of transparency that would also allow other people, who do know more about game programing, architecture and server related issues, to confirm "hey what they're doing is actually pretty dope" or "we have doubts on this point in particular etc."

With the recent opening for content creators, I would recommend finding some new players and watching them. I personally cannot stand giant streamers and the audience they have.

I think giant streamers have their place. Many prominent MMO players/streamers have plenty of experience and great feedback for new games, plus their audiences help boost visibility tremendously. I think these benefits outweigh the unfortunate negatives like rabid/zealous/toxic fans; internet anonymity allows for toxic viewers on anyone's channel.

With that said, I agree that it is nice and refreshing to view all types of streamers. I am a small streamer myself (for now!) but I make it a point to watch low-visibility channels and interact with the streamer when I can. Nothing makes my day more than having someone new pop into channel and share their passion about the game I'm playing, or to cheer me on!

@codewarlock I understand your viewpoint and agree to an extent. I feel that the toxic atmosphere that giant streamers create does NOT outweigh the positives. Gaming communities and subscription based games grew to massive numbers before twitch was even a spark of an imagination. Streaming evolved over the years but the people who became most popular were people who had no intention of leading. The atmosphere devolved into spamming chat and gathering toxic people together.

This isn't ONLY because of the streamer. There are a lot of pieces to this puzzle, but it definitely ruins games to have these communities join in the long run (or potentially in the short run with a game like AoC).

Ha! Well... no NDA it is!!!

So far I've been enjoying Narc's content so maybe it's a fair bet imo for post NDA entertainment.

🤔 shroud and asmon are the two I will watch

I think Asmongold would be a good candidate for people who aren't playing the alpha/beta since I find him having good non-whining arguments that will help a game being better for the players. Of course there is multiple one who have good arguments but he is one of the strong streamer I can get behind if I wanted to see how a game is. He's not shy when comes the time to bash a game on its bad side.

In conclusion, everyone can be valuable to watch after NDA its all about your own taste.

Jahlon
Narc
KiraTV

are my 3 picks

Probably Asmongold, he likes to test games the most and find bugs and exploits, he is always actively finding and reporting any bugs and exploits. He is most likely to test the limits of the game, if you want to find more about the mechanics and stability of the game, he is probably your best bet as he is applying to become an official CC.

Just look through the list after NDA and give everyone a chance

I'm sure there will be a lot of great streamers who won't get mentioned here, as well as a lot of new/small streamers who just got accepted into the Content Creator program of AoC. Just because they're small doesn't necessarily mean that they're not as good as the bigger streamers or that you wouldn't enjoy watching them

I'm never going to watch extensive gameplay on the game. I'd rather just wait for the game to come out and play it myself. Might try a beta test though. Reason being is I won't be able to tell how fun it is through a streamer.

Might as well play games that are out until it comes out than spending too much time in wish land.
