Saying the quiet part outloud

So this is not going to sit right with some and that's ok. I am simply attempting to give my feed back to help improve or possibly improve upon what is being created.

1. Steven should not be the one "showcasing" what ever it is that is being shown. He is more suited for a support/ environment showcase which suits the way he presents to the audience. The tank Showcase did not at all hit the mark of showing off the tank at all as Steven at times was more into Looting, looking around, or running to try and stay alive. I am not a Tank main at all by any means and this showcase would make me not interested at all in trying to look at branching off into something new. It did the opposite if I'm honest.
2. For the love of god stop making these showcase so dam long! Yes give us content but make it to the point, clear and concise. 30-45 mins should be the goal i lost interest in the video as it was getting repetitive and loopy feeling with nothing being shown that was informative, other than learning how to die.
3. The quality of the live streams has been suffering since Oct 2022 at least, imo. It seems like you are going for spit out stuff to stay relevant and on peoples mind rather than quality of what your showing. Being late is also something that should not be happening. You guys should have plenty of time to film, edit, and produce the content. If your not able to do that than maybe your going to fast.
4. Stick with actual mechanics of the game. GM cheats are fine if your showing off the world, assets etc. But for a "build" showcase you need to focus on the "tank" and show it off as its intended to be or at least intended to be at that time frame.
5. Start to think before acting. I say this just from the standpoint of the last lets say 4-5 live streams. They all seem rushed, lack content, lack quality, and are for me personally very off putting as a consumer.
6. Also going into areas that are not meant for the size of the group is also a fail as you have shed light on a possible flaw with how your building difficulty and such.

Steven can play his part for sure in live streams and be the center of the content, but there need to be a pass the touch talk/discussion had as its effecting how your product is being portrayed to the public.

You want feedback on the Tank and Looting seen but really can anyone really give you quality, insightful feedback if the stream didn't provide that the the viewer?

2) I'd happily watch a 2-3 hour development update, every month. Am very glad for the insights that we receive.

I wouldn't, I'd rather watch a concise to the point 30-45 minute update of quality than a rambled 2-3 hr dev update.

4) He's making a display of the gameplay. Were they supposed to do it 10 times and choose the best take, or something?

They don't need to do it 10 times, a basic story board, rough run through to ensure they know what to expect in the fights then a run full run through so they aren't caught off guard. ideally not recorded day of so Margaret and the Comm team have time to watch the video an check for any comments that were said off the cuff that are mistaken or misleading. and to add in some relevant media in post.

This is the only thing I found to be correct in your entire post.

Can you be more calm about demonstrating the beginnings of skills and mechanics? stop being nervous.

The entire run, they rarely had mana issue outside of the tank and ranger occasionally. After every fight, most of their HP was fine, when things went south - it was mainly due to HoT tick putting cleric in aggro when he was trying to top off Steven b4 he ran into make a pull w/o communicating to his team.

The last boss fight was a joke, he tank the boss, someone else face tank the add and they were never in any danger both in terms of HP and MP.

Having to rest after every group of mobs to regen mana really destroys the game flow. Running out of mana is an outdated mechanic, the only time one should run out of mana is when fighting a boss that is above their current gear level or after several packs to regen both health and mana. This is excluding main healers of course.

Why should a wipe occur after pulling one mob when there are respawns? It should make things more difficult, yes, but again that is just tedious, especially as this is in an introductory area.

And if every class besides a tank is wet paper to enemies whats the point of bruiser variants such as the fighter?

I would have to disagree with you. This adds to the difficulty of the game and makes you as a player think about what you are doing.

Plus it can be implemented and if you don't like having to sit, then bring Pots not to. This mechanic of the game is not that big of a deal to those who know how to use it and leverage it.

I appreciate Steven's willingness to showcase everything and I particularly enjoyed the Tank Preview.

While I have long believed that the streams lack challenge, I did notice that they struggled and died a bit during the Tank Preview.

However, I do not think that the game is currently designed to be challenging. The mobs simply exist to populate the area and allow players to test the game's systems and aid in its development. It would be unfair to demand a significant challenge at this time, as the game is not yet at that stage.

So let's introduce a problem that is easily fixable with a generic consumable. Why have it in the first place? That isn't making the player think about whata they're doing. If you want the player to think then the class should have a resource. Some skills that aren't as powerful but regenerate your resource, then skills that deal damage or sunder etc, with an increasing resource requirement the more powerful the ability.
