Posts from Streams (including Mikogo, TeamViewer, etc.) - technical aspects.

This topic is about streaming Heroes games. Streaming is an online broadcast, similar to using Miko. The technology is probably about the same, but there are significant differences between these two broadcasting methods. Pros of streaming: 1) Any number of people can watch the stream without losing image quality. In Miko, the more viewers there are, the worse the quality becomes. And there is a limit of 10 people unless you buy a premium account. 2) The streamer has many options for changing the image quality. 3) Unlike Miko, the streamer can comment on their video. 4) The video is saved on the servers and can be watched after the game. Cons of streaming: 1) Some difficulties in setting up the stream. 2) If the outgoing channel is very slow, the stream will not work. Or it will work, but in an unwatchable quality. I can help with the first problem – contact me on ICQ 465786677. I cannot help with the second. FAQ about streaming – http://sc2tv.ru/content/как-делать-стримы-техническая-сторона-вопроса. The links to download the programs in the link are already outdated; use Google. Besides the described streaming method, there are other methods, and I will talk about them later as information becomes available. Streaming is definitely more promising than using Miko. I would especially like to attract our top players to become streamers, because more people can watch their games – both online and after the game at any time. Yes, there are difficulties in setting up, but it is worth spending an hour to have access to all the advantages of streaming. Those who, for some reason, cannot/do not want to comment – it is not necessary to do so; if you stream, it will still be great! Streaming attracts people online – this has been proven; after watching streams, some newbies download the game, GameRanger, and try their hand online. In short, there are many benefits, and the difficulty only arises at the initial stage, and I will try to help everyone solve it. Here is an example of my channel on Justin.tv – http://www.justin.tv/stickyfingazyo

Yes, by the way, the interest in the third installment of Heroes of Might and Magic is even a bit frightening, even on a Starcraft-focused resource. Crowds of people are eager for streams, strategies, replays, analyses, and other delights. If we channel the masses in the right direction, in two years we'll be watching the Heroes of Might and Magic finals at the World Cyber Games on ORT at 9:00 PM instead of the news.

Ah, a dream, but it would be nice to watch the final, for example: Stinger vs. Forest)))

Yes, by the way, the interest in Heroes 3, for example, on a StarCraft resource is even frightening. Crowds of people crave streams, strategies, guides, breakdowns, and other delights

imho, the keywords in terms of popularizing our Heroes (whether SoD or WT...)

Streams are definitely more promising than using same-game. I would especially like to attract our TOPs into the ranks of streamers, because more people could watch their pro games - both online and after the game at any time.

+1. Not turning the WT chat into a semi-closed system, indulging in its own coolness and, ultimately, repeating the fate of TE and Bay (who, without a doubt, should be remembered with kind words) in a couple or three years - but rather bringing, carrying the art to the masses :). I think this is the main priority for development right now.. Like it's time to scatter stones... end of imho
P.S. Marked the thread as important

Here you can submit your suggestions for the future of WCG, including proposing disciplines. : )
The poll will run until January 24th.
The selection of games for WCG is now determined not only by commercial factors but also by voting.

I highly doubt that heroes can appear in the World Championship Games.

Wouldn’t it be great if, for the first week, turns could be made like in an RTS? :)

I highly doubt that heroes can make it to the WCG.

Why not? They can, but as Vic said: a mirror match with control like "Burning Hands" or "walk around first, then think":D... although, even that would be pretty good.

Why not? They could, as Vic said: a mirror match with a playstyle like "hot-headed" or "think later, act first":D ... although, even that would be pretty good.

I advise everyone who thinks this way to play a few times against a real opponent in a 2-minute game. And then write based on the experience you gained.

I would advise everyone who thinks that way to play a few times against a real opponent in a 2-minute game, and then write based on the experience gained.

And I would even advise some to play with a real opponent a few times a month in a 2-minute game. Because there are such "Belaz-like" delays that after a few moves, you just don't want to play with them at all.

When a player spends half a minute deciding whether to take Strength or Knowledge, and in a battle with a horde of skeletons, they click with their left hand and then with their right hand, it's just GG :smile38:.

apparently, I need to learn how to play like 47!

yeah, then there will be exciting prospects :D

No, no, 47 is the ideal. Someone even posted his embarrassing performance in the "water" thread. I don't know what's funny about it; it just depresses me.

Yesterday, there was a stream on sc2tv.ru about Heroes of Might and Magic III, and 800 people watched it live o_O =))

yes, yes, yes. and the gameplay there is just awful )))

keep doing nothing to promote Heroes)))

It took so much effort to set up this stream. And the quality is worse than in Might & Magic, so I'm not sure if anyone is really interested in the commentary; if so, I can provide commentary via Skype.
