Lack of livestream notice

I missed this live stream because I didn’t know about it. They used to send an ingame message a week before. Why have they stopped doing that? Not all of us have X, it feels like they’re excluding some of their players. I was really disappointed when I found out that there was a livestream today and I missed it. Did this happen to anyone else?

I got a notification from MCOC and from Twitch.

When did you get these notifications? I got one from MCOC in game as soon as the livestream went live, but I hadn’t logged in at that moment so I missed it. I also have notifications turned off for twitch.

Kabam shouldn’t have us turn on notifications from a second party app for their stuff. We should be getting stuff in advance through the in-game mail like we used to.

Wasn’t there an In-game Mail Message notice at least a day or 2 beforehand as well ?
Thought I remember seeing that in game, besides for up here on Forums.

Dude, the game team literally announced it on the forum on 28 January. If you missed this announcement and "feel excluded", I'm afraid that's on you! You've been on the forum for over 3 years and have made nearly 900 posts... surely you check things out here regularly?

Side note: You say you don't have X, which is fair enough. Don't you follow MCOC on Facebook or Instagram? They announced it there too. What more do you want? A hand delivered letter from Karate Mike or Dorky Dave?

There was this:

The notifications are fine, its those twitch drops that are the problem. Too tight of a window for eligibility

Care to elaborate? I got them all without any issues.

So if youre at work and cant open the app if youre in a meeting, or not even allowed to have your phone with you? And for the people across the pond that wouldve been asleep? This is all common sense, what is there to elaborate

I was merely asking you to explain what you meant by "too tight of a window" as I honestly didn't know what you meant by that, but thanks for being condescending without cause. It speaks volumes.

Yeah buddy, ignore the part where you said you got it without any issue implying everyone should be able to.

At the end of the day my points still stand per the examples mentioned

I’ve got bad history with discord, so I don’t use it.

There was this:

Check the date on that message. They sent it the day of the livestream. That doesn’t give much notice. They used to send a message a week in advance.

They sent it the day of the livestream. As well as a pop up during the livestream.

Are you in Australia (or similar) ? (thought I had some vague recollection of you maybe being very eastern hemisphere?)

In which, that calendar date on the message may have been upwards of 24 hrs (or close) in advance. (because I maybe thought I got mine the day before, which is all relevant to what “day” your Timezone is in (in US)

It’s not that I wasn’t able to, it’s the fact that I hadn’t logged in during the time of the livestream, so I missed it.

Issue is at this rate theyre releasing new end game content every 2 months, those consumables would deffo been handy , esp when we had to beat a revive spam fight like GM twice

I’m in Texas, and the message didn’t come up until a while after the livestream

Ok. I know I saw the in-game Notification (not Device Notif, I got those turned off) pop up when started up the game around that time.

But thought I had received the in-game MAIL earlier than that.

(*wonder how the dates appear on Mail Msgs ? Does the date appear as of when you actually open game and message is their in inbox ?)
Like, what happens if you done login for couple days.
Does date displayed on Inbox messages get the originating date, or the date it first appears in Inbox which is when you next open the game ?

I personally don’t like social media, and I usually just stick to the forums.

It’s on me for missing the announcement in the forums, but what about other people that don’t use third party apps? I don’t want a letter from them I just want them to add back the week in advance in game notice.

No discord, no forums, no notifications, no 3rd party app or social media; but people read in game mail?🤔

In game mail deletes automatically, doesn't go that far back. I am not completely sure if they sent mail or not; but I can't agree with you on them "lacking" when the lists of things you don't like or don't use to be informed about the livestream is longer than one piece of mail. Its almost as if there was more effort towards not being informed than them missing to announce.

I read all my ingame mail and I’m 90% certain that they didn’t send a week notice like they usually do.

Ok fine, so you don't like or turn off 4 other routes to be informed, how is this lacking?

What I want to know is why they stopped giving the one week notice ingame. You don’t know my past, and if you did then you would understand why I don’t use discord or social media besides YT. In my opinion there was no reason for them to get rid of the ingame notices.

Maybe they just forgot, it doesn't mean they stopped because it didn't happen once does it?
Its not a lack of communication, they communicated plenty just not by a mean that is preferred to you and we don't even know if it was on purpose.
