Is WG a bit overoptimistic or are they trying to troll us?

[ThePurpleSmurf]

From the patch notes …

Quote

If at any point during the half-day stream we reach 40,000 viewers watching at the same time, we will activate a third Anniversary Drop that requires viewers to watch only 15 minutes to receive 1,000 Community Tokens.

… 40'000 viewers at the same time?? The highest viewer count i have ever seen on the official channel was like 13k and according to TwitchTracker the channel peak was 14'433 (see update below) viewers. So in years of streaming the channel was not even remotely close to 20k and now they dream about 40k just like that? Well, good luck with that. 

 

 

p.s. or was this miscommunication and a translation error between your departments and you meant 4'000?  

 

UPDATE

this is actually wrong. There was indeed one day (December 6th 2020) where they hit 54k viewers for whatever reason. Still, way too optimistic IMO.

Probably it was the same person who thought 39 million potential damage would be a sensible mission... a person who does not play or even know the game.

You need to understand, the Community Mismanagers have to show they can engage the community in spite of the recent "issues".

If they don't then we may see some, personnel "changes".

Truth be told, I've only just bothered to check out Twitch, and only for the rewards. I prefer to play games, not watch others play them. But for a SC, I can tune in. So I'll be one of the new viewers they're aiming for.

too bad you cant setup matches where everybody shoots in the water just for that mission

also 40k probably if you put all ccs in a stream night together it would work

Didn't seem like they broke 5k with this current stream as well. And that was probs the dockyard thing for pueto rico, which probs made a lot of peeps excited.

[KillStealBoss]

Well because of those 3 supercontainers mission - there'll be a lot more people watching this Friday than usually in Thursdays.

Nope, they are just good in trolling us.

Yahagi, then?

I dont know what amount of Viewers they usually get. So its hard to make a Guess on what they are thinking.

The Rewards are Pretty Big. So I would not be Surprised if they got a New Record at least.

 

Now wether thats enough to Break 40k is a different Story.

Its Possible that they are Really Hoping to break that Line.

I am almost certain at least that they are hoping to Calm the Heated Spirits of all their Dumpster Fires they got lately.

Which is also why there is such a Big Reward attached to the Stream this Year.

 

 

I do however also consider it Possible that its actually a more Sinister Plan.

With the CC Exodus there is a certain Vacuum of Rewards. And they might hope that by offering Generous Rewards they can Draw People away from the Critical Channels of these Big CCs that Left.

And instead get them onto their own Channel.

Likewise its also Possible that WG is indeed Trolling. And just wants to Show that even with such a Big Reward waiting. There wont even be 40k People watching as the Vocal and Active Community is so small.

 

 

Well. We will See.

All the drama has generated so much buzz even among those people who don't play the game that I don't find that goal unrealistic at all.

[ihan_paras_nimi]

Most (99% ?) viewers are just letting the stream run on mute at 160p, for rewards. They watch something more entertaining at the same time.

WG streamers a.k.a. paid actors just are not very charismatic. Disinterest is another issue. They'd be rather doing something completely different and it shows.

WG is as always taking the piss. Nothing has changed.

Here are the requirements for the 3 "free" SCs missions:

 

Spoiler

Mission 1: deal 2,222,222 damage with any t5-t10 ship in rank/coop/random/convey mode, give 1 SC then unlock mission 2

Mission 2: get 40,000 Basic EXP with any t5-t10 ship in rank/coop/random/convey mode, give 1 SC then unlock mission 3

Mission 3: get 80 set on fire/flood/citadel hit with any t5-t10 ship in rank/coop/random/convey mode,  give 1 SC and 1 flag

 

Ends on 04 Oct 2021

Thanks, so I won't even let the stream running in the background. That much work for some 100 AA signals is not worth it.

Every reward requiring playing is a no no for me by design.

It's ingame now on EU. But to be fair, you have nearly 3 weeks to complete this mission chain and all game modes count.

Operations don't count. Not even towards the baseXP one.

Not strippin' but i thought about this too, if this was the one and only time where Dasha appeared on stream to chat with the viewers. I don't remember when this stream took place though.

I don't mind. I'm already starting progress on these missions. :)

Not sure, but it seems different to what was initially announced.

There's no festive rewards on each ship either (SCs on T10s or festive tokens on lower tier ships).

So my guess this could be WG being stingy and limiting each player to 3SCs from the missions rather than one SC per T10 ship.

Shame as I've just unlocked three T10s in the past week to bring the total to 16.
