That... likely is an issue on your end. Twitch regularly supports channels with viewership of 100k+ .

Or more likely FFG's end.
Also, I am incredibly saddened to hear it will only be one hour. There is basically no way they get a healthy reveal of components within that time frame.
im also becoming convinced it will be 1 box, not 3. I think they may be doing a box per week, maybe month? ?

But FFG did have a YouTube mirror for the Hyperspace report, so maybe they'll do it this time as well if you're having issues.
I hope so, I can't see twitch at work.

I didn’t have any major issues with the stream when watching it, but yes, certainly within the realm of possibility.

I never expected this to be a full reveal of everything, and expect a lot of people to be disappointed afterwords when it's not. I'd be okay with a single box if they do more streams the next couple weeks for the other 2 (even though scum is the one I'm most interested in, and it'll be the last one if they go that route...)

I don't think this is a Twitch issue. There are many streams on Twitch that get tens to hundreds of thousands of viewers without lagging.

Ya I really shouldn’t have expected as much, but FFG seriously sets us up for the disappointment. They are not very clear at all in their press statements, and their customers pay for it in the end.
Today's the day, gents
Remember to do your part and drown out twitch chat in ARC requests
It'll get us the cards we need to see AND drown out the whinging!

I don't believe FFG is setting us up for disappointment and we certainly aren't paying for it in the end. We are getting an unboxing video of X-Wing 2.0! This unboxing is certainly better than nothing. A good way to not be disappointed with things is to not assume you are going to get to see everything you want to see as soon as you want to see it. I am just going to be patient with how FFG chooses to reveal their game and will enjoy the video and however much content they choose to show us.

Honestly, I want them to take the stack of upgrade cards, slide the whole stack aross the table to expose the cards, and pan the camera across them. Then do the same for the pilot cards.
Anyone who cares for a particular pilot can freeze frame across the pan.
Do note they didn't announce it do far in advance just to torture us or something silly
You need to give good advance warning of major edition overhauls
Given it's so far away we can afford to not know EVERYTHING
Just the essentials, ie how they are handling distribution of ship bases

On the one wrist, I hear that- I like the variation. On the other: 4 dice primaries tends to obliterate certain kinds of ships so easily that it starts an offense/defense arms race that ends with only ships with access to 4 dice attacks being valuable.

Agreed. Or sift them semi-slowly one by one so all the text and whatnot can be seen. I also would like some commentary.
I LOVE the new color scheme on the ship tokens as well.
I am glad to see that they will archive the video so we can go back and pause it later.
We don't need 4 or 1 die primaries
If you want variety, look to secondary weapons
They can balance the power of four dice with some key restrictions (such as TL requirement)

Only if they have this playing in the background.

That's literally not how Twitch functions. If there were interruptions it was because of something between you and Twitch, or between FFG and Twitch - it had absolutely nothing at all to do with the number of people watching the stream.

Oh for sure. And we should be greatful for anything. The issue isn’t what we are getting. It’s only how FFG communicates it. Like when they talk about a big Star Wars game oriented report with massive news, but they fail to let any of the non-xwing players in on the fact that it’s only xwing related. That ticked off a lot of people that spent the time to watch the report that didn’t care about xwing. Is xwing 2.0 a good thing? Yes, it’s great! But the communication on its reveal left a bad taste in non xwing players mouths.
All it takes is a little less vagueness and more specifics, and we would have no reason to get upset. If you leave something up for interpretation, there’s a good chance it’s going to get mistranslated.
: I know they are opening all 3 conversion kits and I have coverage to show off dials and cards and such
At ehat time is the stream?
