How’s it going guys? In a little less than a month, I plan to start streaming sPvP and tPvP. I feel like more exposure and viewership of Guild Wars 2 would be great to grow our community. Right now there are very few people who watch GW2 streams at all. I know this will be difficult because there are many who have already lost interest in the game, so I’ve come to get you guy’s opinions on a few things.
First, let me say that I am by no means a top player or anything. I wouldn’t even call myself good because I just don’t feel comfortable doing so. I play mostly a bunker Guardian and a S/D Elementalist, and I am only rank 26. Nevertheless, let’s get down to it.

1. Would you prefer: 1920×1080 @ 30fps or 1280×720 @ 60fps?
2. Are there certain classes that you would rather see played more than others?
3. What are some things that you have seen on streams that you extremely dislike and would make you not want to watch?
4. Lastly, if there is any other input or advice you would like to give, it would be greatly appreciated.

I am still testing different things and getting overlays and things like that together as well as upgrading my internet before I start promoting the stream. I will post back in these forums when it gets closer to being ready. Thank you for your time!

1080>720 maybe it is my eyes but I don’t notice any difference between 30 and 60 fps but I can tell a big difference between 1080 and 720.

The streaming and viewing numbers are way less than other games because the community is a fraction of other popular streamed games. Right now I would only really consider watching streams of high level teams playing in tournaments being able to hear their whole teams comms in order to try to learn from them. Some access to builds being used by the team would be another selling point for me, putting them in the channel description or link to your team website with that info available or something.

Only reasons why I ever watch streams are:

-the streamer plays a class that I play
-the streamer is playing paid tournaments with a team
-the streamer talks to viewers in-between matches an provides tips or is naturally hilarious
-the streamer also has a link to the build he uses most regularly

Any one of those things would encourage me to keep watching

However things that immediately turn me of are:
-hotjoins
-seemingly constant afk with no group
-irritable attitude (some people rage hard even if they win or even during matches, I don’t mind being passionate after a loss because that makes sense)

@Thirsty, I definitely feel the same way about it at the moment, but I decided to just give it a shot.

@Happy Elementalist, thanks for those points. They will be duly noted.

I think it would be cool to watch a videos edited after matches where all of the members of your team were recording and we could switch between them at will. Similar to Kiss dvds that have the options to view each band member or the whole stage. Now, if someone could implement a site like that then that would be cool
