So about the premium video feed for the fan fest... any update? Con is in like 4 days

I mean... how are they even going to prepare for the DDoS level of hits on a steaming site without having a good gauge of how many will view ahead of time? HD level streams eat a lot of bandwidth & all.

SE's servers can handle it. They've proven it time and time again.

Is it going to be english trans'd in real time? Will they finally have a translator there talking just after the devs?

I see no reason to pay for prem unless I can actually understand whats going on.

I am surprised you are asking this if you are talking about wanting to get the NA event feed. If its real time (in Las Vegas) without translator or having English speakers there it would be pointless to be there in person also.

Odds are they going to leave that to some 3rd party, like how they host the other streams on Twitch, Youtube, and NicoNicoDouga. So... since all of those sites have more than enough resources, there is no reason to worry about limits.

You apparently haven't hung around Twitch whenever there's a huge event, such as tournaments for LoL, DOTA & SC2, being broadcast on their servers. Chat lag, video quality and frequent buffering occur with even some of the big name broadcasters like MANvsGame, Lethalfrag and Towelliee (who typically average viewer numbers in 1000+) during these events. Now imagine that for the much smaller broadcasters that regularly only average a couple hundred viewers or less.

It $20 and it will be in English

[Elurra]

I was hoping it would be $10 or less. $20 is really pushing it. I know it provides access to a higher quality stream, but we all know we're just paying for the moogle attire. Any important reveals or information will be posted all over the internet within seconds of it being announced.

That being said, still tempted to get it.

Will anybody be streaming the Premium feed for the fan fest?

[Silversnow]

It seems we also get access to a handful of XIV twitch emotes. So if you are a twitch user that is an extra bonus for us.

[Sakuraluna]

Nice! Just saw that update too. That's more within my price range than I honestly expected it to be so I'll definitely be looking into it once I get off work.

Personally the difference between standard and premium is not that much of a difference. 20 dollars is pretty steep imho. ( I'm only assuming the Premium feed has the Expansion Pack reveal, it just make sense) lol.
