Game needs a streamer mode

The game needs a setting that enables the /busy flag before you even get into the game.

Watching one of the first Hololive players start the game for the first time, it's pretty sad to see how they get flooded with whispers and what not. They even had 27 friend request before getting out of the very first cutscene. The entire time they were in the cutscene they kept hearing the friend request sound AND seeing the message popup in the middle of the screen.

That'd be nice, some sort of flag that says who's streaming in the party. I ended up leaving a Nier run because someone announced they were streaming.

Some of us don't want to be on a stream, so the warning was wonderful. Most don't mention it though and it irks me to know how many times I've been on someones stream when I hate streamers and don't support them.

If people are announcing they are streaming, it's probably for advertisement. Doubtful they even have viewers.

I would be 100% against something that says a person is streaming. The whole point is draw less attention to their character while in game so they aren't swarmed and can enjoy the game more.

If you had never known that person was streaming then you wouldn't have had any different experience in the game. You being a random person running around on their screen is in no way supporting them either.

I don't want to unknowingly support something I don't support.

Principle of the matter.

I think if streamers get a flag attention seeking snowflakes will end up ruining the whole raid half of the time..

They can always not show their screens until they are in the game.

At some point, the onus is on the streamer to prevent things from happening to them.

In this day and age, it's honestly best to assume someone in every party you join is streaming. Even your own FC. Furthermore, not everyone covers their chat boxes either. Becareful what you say in chats. You never know who is streaming, how large their audience is, and wither or not their chat is covered. Thise goes for friends too. When you send tells, you don't know if they are streaming or even screen sharing over Discord.

There isn't an option to block all requests outside friends? That way Streamers can add those they trust and only get requests from them?

I also would like to see a super obvious flag when someone is streaming so everyone else will know that person is streaming and we can all have more fun with these people.

Every time a huge crowd gathers and follows the streamer around it's comedy gold and really entertaining, especially how so many people try to crowd out the npcs all shamelessly, cracks me up.

It's like a Town Party, the whole neighborhood is out and about :D

I fail to see why we can't do such things without a streamer...

Just more people sucking up to e-celebs. Disgusting.

oh boy, more nekaru hot takes, I'm grabbing my popcorn

You could do what most people (myself included) do in game and simply, I don't know, pay them no mind. If you've got nothing bad to say then you have nothing to worry about.

I really don't understand why people are pestering them so much.

I remember Pewdiepie once talked about how an actual teacher brought her entire class of young children to his house when where he lived leaked and I think he basically just closed the door on her.
Like how in the hell can you be an actual adult and a teacher on top of that too and think that's appropriate?
Where does this delusion comes from?

Streamers are just people who know how to install OBS, you can do it yourself even. It's so easy-they're not special or anything, safe to just assume you're always playing with a few of them.

I don't mind people streaming me in their videos. I only look at the contents instead of the user's toons.

It's just really awkward to run into streamers when out questing. I have no idea who most of these people are but they seem to have congregated on my server. Which is ok, mostly. It just makes things difficult when you have to quest in an area with a zillion players waving glow sticks at the streamer.

I love it when huge dogpile crowds form covering the whole screen on the player and/or quest npcs either jumping around or stationary.

It's even more hilarious when someone starts spamming AOE and it starts a chain reaction, everyone goes into AOE spam hopping frenzy and it becomes an onscreen fireworks explosion.

Was it Pekora? She probably thrives off the chaos her presence causes.

Children don't know how to ignore something they don't like. They gotta stomp their feet and huff about it until people agree with them.

As we've established, Nekaru basically acts like a child - so this is kinda par for the course. The concept that people watch streamers for the fact they're actually entertaining or enjoyable to watch doesn't exist in their mind; nope, we're all just sucking up and wanting to get e-famous via leeching off their streams. Totally what's going on. /s

That said, it's unfortunate to hear Pekora is getting the same sort of harassment as Asmongold. I don't watch much of Hololive, but a friend does, and their stream culture over in Japan can arguably be worse than NA stream culture at times. To contrast: Silvervale and some of Vshoujo play XIV on stream, as well, but I've not seen nearly as much harassment or incidents like that whenever they're playing. Smaller audience than Hololive, for certain, but still.

Starting to think streamers need to at least take the effort to blur out their character name where possible, even if I know that's hard to do in the middle of an active livestream vs. an edited video.

The idea wouldn't be to advertise the fact you're streaming I don't think.
It'd just hide notifications, block friend requests, etc.
Ideally there'd be no visual indicator that someone is using the mode, it'd just clean things up for the sake of the stream.

Last thing I need is personal information like my retainer sold some ingots for 400 gil flashing up on the stream.

So you enjoy watching people grief someone who’s just trying to play the game. Got it.

Hard to ignore when it's everrywhere.

We are literally playing a game where any of us can be the hero, and make our story. Yet, some around here still hero worship some players more than others. There's a topic on the forums every time a 'oh my god e-celeb streamer' so much as farts in the game. People acting like idiots in-game around them, and running around like chickens with their heads cut off just because 'so and so' showed up and is playing their game and they must act like they're the next best thing since sliced bread. News flash, they aren't. They're just another dang player in a sea of millions.

And the fact people seem to throw them on a pedestal is getting to be unreal. Like the previous guys post before mine. "Oh my god streamer shows up and these people do all this its so kul!11111". So they can't do that normally without a streamer? They can't socialize, have fun, and make events without a god to follow around? You may as well be the IRL equivalent of beast tribes following your primal.

Please spare me. Some get online to get out of the Britney days, Beiber days, and rabid humans worshiping other humans. Now it's followed us to the internet in the walking fail of humanity known as 'streaming' masquerading as a job.

Now you want to drag it into the fantasy game world where we try to escape to.

No. Thanks. This game is about taking out primals not creating new ones.

y'know, if I don't like something about, say, internet culture, in this context streamers, I ignore it and don't make multiple posts about how much I dislike this and that about them, or even them themselves, in multiple threads
I don't care about them, so why should I spend my time thinking and talking about them?
the opposite of love isn't hate, it's apathy and honestly, considering how you made basically the same post in multiple streamer related threads before, I'd even call you envious of them

i dont really mind being in a stream... especially not in casual content. but wouldnt it be like basic politness to inform the people? i would agree to a flag whos streaming... also wouldnt it be interesting to know how many people you meet ingame are streaming?

I thought there was already some rules for streamers to follow. When I stream, I cover the chat window and turn everyone's name into first and last initial. I thought I read that as a rule for streaming XIV. Also you gotta put a SE copyright in your homepage/description.

Please do regale us more with how above streamers and "e-celebs" you are, while consistently making post after post complaining about them and the people who dare to get entertainment out of watching them - for whatever reasons, be they a way to kill time or a genuine enjoyment of the content they make and who they are as a person.

You sure are showing how little you care about them by posting constantly in a thread about one.

Streamers don't need a special mode. They just need common sense. If you don't want to be bothered by viewers while playing, then don't stream or talk about your character info.

So true. Flag them so we can avoid them please.

yes, yes - we get it. streamers are evil, abhorrent, greedy individuals who are ultimately unworthy of your presence and their followers are just mindless, drooling sheep. you're welcome to move on now since you've made your point.

I'd hate to see what their reaction is to anyone who's a streamer AND a mentor.

...Actually, I kinda do want to see it. For...science?

every post of yours I've seen in this thread makes me feel obligated to tell you to go outside, get some perspective, and care about stuff that actually matters than whatever chip you have on your shoulder about not being popular on the video game.

I should have quoted the person I was replying to.

What that person wanted was a way to see if someone in your dungeon was live streaming. They feel as if just by being there they are in some way supporting that streamer. They want to leave any dungeon/raid they join that has someone else in there live streaming.

So in short, say I started my stream to Twitch to show a friend the game or a boss fight. A flag would then show up on the party list next to my name for others to see that I'm currently live streaming. This is what I'm against but that other person I was replying to WANTS in the game.

I'm just looking for a way to have an active /busy flag BEFORE you even get into the game.

Interesting how you hate a group of people without knowing them. Kinda yikes.
But then it's Nekaru_Infitima, so it's not that surprising with your post history.

Honestly these principles might as well mean to not play anything or even go outside.
Oh well lol

Hey guys I hate streamers and how they think they are so important and people should be paying attention to them well that's garbage and I want everyone here to know what I think about it and pay attention to my very important opinion! /s

* literally cries and kisses the ground you walk on for being so fawkin' niche and different from the sheep-like community * /also s

As a streamer (not that large), I say YES plz add streamers mode!
It helps so much! Just look at voice programs like Discord. I remember back when it did not have streamers mode, and you heard everything from people joining the room to random messages from people you did not even know.
So not +1 from me but +10 for streamers mode!
