Fan Fest NicoNico

[Vespar]

This is going to be a pain, NicoNico only stream. Why we could not atleast have twitch??

NicoNico declined my card so I can't watch the stream unless I call my credit card company which is a major hassle. I imagine many will have this issue since their payment site is in Japan and A lot of NA credit card companies will auto-decline because of that.

Japanese had to deal with Twitch to see the broadcast in Vegas and London, we can deal with NicoNico to deal with the one that takes place in Japan. They're just using the preferred streaming methods of wherever the Fan Fest is being held.

Also, picking up a phone and calling your credit card company isn't a "pain" or "hassle"... that's a little over-dramatic, lol. And you should be grateful that they did decline it since they probably detected it as a possible fraudulent purchase since it is for something outside of your typical buying area/habits (NA billing comes out of El Segundo, CA, USA). A quick call and they'll put the purchase through and allow it.

It is when your credit card company is thru your bank and your bank has "banker hours" and you are currently in a foreign country and the time zones are extremely different. Situational, I know, but still, many people will have issues with this.

People will find an issue, just read these forums. They'l' find an issue when there wasn't one, lol.

depends on your card company...

Or that you're impatient...

You chose the Bank/Company you have your card with. There are plenty of options out there. Sounds like you chose inconvenience.

When I was in the military and deployed to over 28 countries in a 6 year period. I called in advance if I was going overseas. If I got a 1hr recall / 24hr on the ground anywhere in the world. I still had no issues, as I carried 2 personal CCs besides my Government one.

You folks seriously find excuses for everything.

Not a single card of mine works. MasterCard, Visa (with Verified by Visa)... Spoke to Visa, they are saying it's an issue on the merchant side.

So yeah. No excuses here, it literally does not work. See my other thread for full details.

Yet others have had no issues buying it? You may want to be more careful when following the step by step instructions they laid out and contacting your CC company...

Why I didn't quote you. I have 2 MCs and a Visa. Gonna try them this afternoon as all 3 are different companies.

I find this rather odd. Specifically because I order Arcade machine parts at least 2x a month of all different vendors in Japan, via MC, Visa, and Paypal. See if I get a vendor issues on my end as well and update results here.

They didn't really have to "deal" with anything. You don't need to sign up (or do anything at all) to watch a broadcast on Twitch.

Not only do you have to create an account for NicoNico, the stream will start kicking out free users once the viewer number reaches a certain point.
