This does, though
Also, just so you know the perspective of someone who no longer tunes in to the livestreams, I don't do so because they come off as a self-aggrandizing dog-and-pony show. The one I did watch, the first one, was nothing more than Kabam members patting themselves on the back for the terrific job they're doing running MCOC. But there are major issues with the game right now, and it's obvious from the start that those won't be addressed in the livestream (nor should they be given your current format because, as you note, "we want to have fun" and bugs/issues aren't fun). From a player perspective, I want fixes to dropped inputs, lagging, disconnects, and instability during fights that ruin my fun. As I experience these bugs, I don't want to simultaneously watch Kabam stroke its ego on a livestream. If you're looking to improve the format, I suggest you take a more realistic and player-focused approach instead of the parade of "look how great things are" that you're doing now. Address some of these issues, how you're working to fix them, and how you'll make the players whole for their losses.
I hope you read this as constructive criticism, because that's my aim. No one improved their product by listening only to those that approve of the status quo.

The livestreams are meant to be a positive engagement tool; to celebrate a game we like and talk about exciting features/changes coming to the game. This is a game, it's meant to be fun and these streams are meant to be an extension of that. As we've established, you don't have to attend them if you don't want to (we actually encourage you to give them a miss).
We're always open to hearing Summoner's request for content to cover or segments to include or improvements to the stream, but we're not looking for a "don't even bother" feedback.
These livestreams are just to arise a feeling of easiness in players but the reality will hit hard when none of these change takes places in "future " . Keep wishing like Wish crystals.
The video is also still available to watch afterwards, and Content creators and others will also be covering those aspects (this is also a reason to do live streams... giving our Community more opportunities and reasons to create content and host their own conversations, etc.)
I will take this to heart though, and look into how we can ensure that there will be coverage of these items in other manners in a reasonable time frame after their reveal. I can't promise it will be the day of, that would run counter to our goal of growing our Twitch channel, but within a reasonable time frame going forward.
Not having the time to watch livestream or dig though update notes I’m hopeful your post is on point.
One thing I will suggest to Kabam is this:
While overall I LOVE the things you’re working on, I dislike that it puts, or insinuates, more work/brainpower on officers to pick fights & paths rather than members taking responsibility for themselves.
That’s already a HUGE factor in officer burnout.
Speaking as a former leader & longtime officer, I’d like to suggest offering these roles access to exclusive content/rewards.
I’d love it if this feature allowed multiple members to raise a hand for fights on shared paths- like “I want/can do/have counters for/am comfortable with 21, 26, & 53” then it allowed officers to assign them- or someone completely different.
I think giving members participation in this feature will encourage interaction and accountability, and also help train members to become officers.
Again, my main point is that I think Kabam should offer something to the officers & leaders who pour countless hours into managing the cooperative aspects of the MCOC community.
There have been many weeks when I’ve spend more time recruiting and doing the behind the scenes work logging data to design war defense than I actually spend playing the game.
I think this work that keeps the community healthy and vibrant should be rewarded with more than a voting event and a “true team player” title.
(I cherish the title and profile pic, don’t get me wrong)
Anyway I loved the interview & the game afterwards as well. Your mum sounds Hilarious, Good, Intelligent. Funny Smart Nurse.
Question: With the AQ becoming 4 out of 7 days, can players still hop between bgs & would they potentially be able to participate in more than 4 AQs per week?
Eg:
Bg1: M, Tu, W, Th
Bg2: Th, F, Sa, Su
Could a player spend 4 days in bg1, then the last 3 days in bg2?
Is each person gonna have a hard cap on the # of days (4) they can enter ? (in cases where Ally doesn’t just set the SAME 4 days for ALL their BG's).
Without hearing more specifics, seems like the general design changes were thought about primarily from the perspective of FULL 3 BG Ally's with SET BG Assignments (for both these AQ changes as well as the AW changes).
Love to see all of the questions coming in! We don't have answers to all of them just yet (this was a forward looking roadmap), but we'll work to make sure that we can answer them as soon as we can!
When we move to the 2 Day Attack phase, Alliance War defenders will no longer be locked from Solo Content. That means that you can use your AW Defenders in any mode EXCEPT AW Attack or Alliance Quests.
There is no change planned for AW Attackers or your Alliance Quest team at this time.
