However, as you can see, there are many such users on this forum. There is interest in your project among them, but the inability to perform complex, unusual actions for this purpose is the main reason for dissatisfaction.
Regarding a detailed description, you may have noticed that even in many modern games, they often use text notes (or at least add them along with video recordings), despite the fact that their audience is often much more technologically advanced. This is simply because not everyone finds it convenient to perceive a large amount of information by ear, for various reasons. Some people don't like the voice, some don't have time, the third is too lazy to go to YouTube, the fourth has video traffic disabled at work - the essence remains the same.
Changing or adding something for this large group of people is, of course, up to you, but again, in this way, you are more likely not "filtering out" the audience, but "cutting off" a piece of your own project's customer base. However, the seller decides for himself who to target his product at. But then you shouldn't be surprised by pointless debates and insults when you stop in a "black area" with a sign that says "entrance only for whites".
HeroesWorld in this case is more of a platform for placing the product than for attracting an audience, since we have other tools to attract an audience that will meet our expectations. But, to be honest, your argument is quite strong. If among the conservative users of HW there are those who agree to broadcast their game, then the meaning of placing text punchcards appears.
I just don't understand why Discord is mandatory. What if a person is already streaming? Isn't that suitable? And what's wrong with ICQ? People use it. It's just an old messenger. And by the way, I don't quite understand why a person is obliged to show their artifacts and progress on the first request. If, for example, he doesn't have time to play, it will be very inconvenient for him. Sorry for posting in the wrong thread. There's just a lot of communication here. I'll get a faster answer. )))
First of all, I would like to apologize to you for my harsh statement about "being a hardcore gamer," if it offended you. I did not want to offend you in any way, as you are an adequate speaker. I just wanted to emphasize that the TE format is not very user-friendly for a wide audience. People are not very interested in PvE, so we are trying to focus on finals (PvP) in our changes. In addition, the specifics of games on a standard build imply building a build and collecting artifacts for the final, which is somewhat different from the specifics of TE.
It's mandatory for three reasons:
1. Control. Yes, we understand that this can be bypassed by logging in from a second device or a smartphone, but still.
2. A show for viewers that we can broadcast to an audience of 12,000+ people, while possibly attracting new ones. Without viewers, this tournament is meaningless, since we are creating this tournament mainly for them.
3. The opportunity to show your game in a situation where it is impossible to conduct your own streams.
At the same time, if a player, in addition to broadcasting on Discord, wants to stream on his own, none of the judges or organizers will object.
Regarding the mandatory requirement to show their artifacts and progress, I cannot answer, since this rule was not created by me, but by Remix and Slavyan. To be honest, I don't know why it was introduced.
