Greetings Summoners!
Since our first livestreams in Jan. 2023 we have almost always streamed on Fridays at 9am PT. This time slot was based on a number of factors and its consistency has allowed us to grow our audience month over month.
However, we know that many Summoners are unable to view the stream at this time due to a number of factors, be it school, work, family, sleep, etc. While the nature of our global audience means we will not be able to find the perfect timeslot for every single Summoner, we do want to take some time, two years in, to reevaluate and see if a different time slot would serve us better going forward.
As a part of that process we want to hear from you! Please select which option you think is the best time slot from the options below. While we cannot promise the winning time will be the new time moving forward, it will be a strong data point as we consider whether or not to move the time of the stream.

So while some people still won’t be able to get them all, at least they can get every other month's.
** OR **
Is it possible to do a 2nd STREAM (the later time slot) as an actual REPLAY (Live, but just a Replay the first one's feed), where viewers can still participate in all the normal “Live” submission of whatever they need to do to receive Giveway stuff during that 2nd “Live” stream instead.
I don’t know what the current limitations are for people viewing it at a later time (if that's even currently possible or not, watching it like a recording) but where they can NOT currently get the Giveaways because it is watching later on (on the viewer's timetable).
But if Kabam made it into an ACTUAL NEW LIVESTREAM (technically not Live, but as far as the streaming platform is concerned, you would be streaming something Live (again) even though it would just be a replay of original.
*would that work to allow secondary viewers to do all the Live Giveway stuff during that 2nd Stream ??
**and I’m sure Kabam's system could track whether someone watched BOTH of them (as in, tried to get the Giveaways from both) that your game servers should be able to just distribute the Giveaways items just once to them.
(that could actually allow people to do 1 with their Primary, and the 2nd stream with an Alt.Account, which would be nice too).
For instance, their 9 AM is noon for me in Ontario.
Speaking of that, when I voted evening, I meant evening my time, not theirs. 😭
I'm giving you a little Canadian time zone lesson and forgot about them when I voted. Haha 🤣🤣🤣
I guess the UTC was a hint; but MCoC players don't read nodes, even less timezone markings.
