Re: Community Night May 2012 Recording Excellent show again - was good to see the faces behind the screen names even though you looked nothing like I imagined (especially Basti - I thought you would have looked of Asian decent!  ).Liked the discussion about the weather effects - I think it definitely should be some something that is forced on but balanced as Marsman said rather than priducing massive gameplay differences. Earthquakes and Volcanos might be a step too far but I'd love heavy rain to reduce visability and produce water droplets on your visor etc.. Liked the Lightning artillery concept too - I think that'd work providing that the cannon weight slowed the vehicle's movement and it needed to deploy first to operate. The lightning wiuld be a very versitile and different experience dependant on the main gun which was equipped. |

Re: Community Night May 2012 Recording Great cast again! I'm sad you couldn't find your intro. I love the intro. So profesh! =P The camera transfers when various people were talking was pretty smooth too. The only thing I suggest is trying not to talk over each other with that many people. It gets a little overwhelming as listeners when multiple people are talking or someone is trying to say something and constantly gets talked over (poor Jenny, hehe). Also, I'm sure you did pre-testing for voice levels, but some people were really loud and others not so much. I listened to the cast at almost 1% volume and it was still pretty loud. Haha. Keep up the great work! I love watching and listening to these. I'm really sad I missed this one (live). =/ I need to start adding these to my calendar so I get pinged before they start. |

Re: Community Night May 2012 Recording Yea we definitely had some volume issues this time around as well I noticed it after the fact when it was to late  Will make sure we check that closer next time. I may change the format a little so we call on people rather than the big cluster of talking we had this time.I found the intro after the show - but didn't want to spend the hour or two editing and re-rendering it Next time for sure! |

Re: Community Night May 2012 Recording I enjoyed the cast but I have to agree with PurrfectStorm on people talking over each other. I can understand people's excitement but I actually had to stop watching it for a little bit as it was getting on my nerves. But it was a great show none the less, can't wait for june! |

Re: Community Night May 2012 Recording Perhaps a moderator/panel arrangement would help: A. Give everyone an equal chance to speak their mind B. Not run into the talking over/interrupting each other. and C. Allow for a more diverse range of topics by eliminating getting off topic in the first place. |

Re: Community Night May 2012 Recording For the talking over each other issue, I just thought maybe do some sort of hand-raising system. Maybe in a separate chat or something, then Hamma calls names individually if someone has something they want to say? |

Re: Community Night May 2012 Recording Yea the one or two times I individually called people I think worked really well. For some reason we are more likely to talk over each other on video - must be the lack of push to talk. I'll probably go with more a panel/call out next time around. Marsman and Jennyboo can also call folks out so maybe we will switch up the person who runs the topic as the show goes on. All great thoughts! Totally agreed on my end. Also we will probably have a couple less people next time. |

Re: Community Night May 2012 Recording Great show, although the talking over each other did start to grate. People randomly getting way over excited for no reason is cool every now and then in this sort of video cast but when it happens too often and the sound volume isn't right it starts to get irritating. I normally can listen to this in the background at work but found it so distracting this time I had to pause it ! |

Saw this earlier - or listened mainly, other than what other people mentioned, maybe something more to look at? I know there's no game yet so it's not like you have access to footage, but maybe just more of the screenshots that have been tweeted, i know we've seen them but it would break things up a bit? I dunno. |
