Game needs a streamer mode

[Krojack]

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.

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

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.

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 have some things to tell you about nearly everything you consume.

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.

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.
