Thread: Help me get better at Twitching Coh2!11 Jun 2016, 22:11 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Jun 2016, 04:40 AMRedxWings So I probably don't have the best insight into helping people get viewers into your channel for coh 2 (because really, that just kind of fell into my lap compared to the massive amount of effort other people do), but I believe that having a good time playing the game and being able to express it is a good starting point. Webcams help with the expression, but imo, it is not necessary. Yeah if there is one thing included in my streaming it is how big of a fan i am of the game, how well that comes across when i'm getting owned by King Tigers and stuff, well that I don't know Thank you dear RedxWings for blessing me with thy presence though In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Help me get better at Twitching Coh2!10 Jun 2016, 23:15 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Jun 2016, 22:02 PMtightrope Honestly getting viewers is very hard. Most people already have their favourite streamers for each time of day so don't even bother looking at the smaller/new ones. If you are not in the top 100 you stand little chance. People want to see competent play. You need something that makes your channel different or a reason to watch in the first place. Youtube success is good but you haven't been doing that for very long and I think people recognise breadmarsh more than you. Running tournaments is a good way to get some viewers in. Or maybe you could come up with some other event It is important to have a webcam as people have mentioned. I think I heard Jane McGonigal mention that there is a different response you have when you see a persons face on stream whilst playing that makes you better imagine you are playing or something. Woah the allmighty Tightrope! Yeah BreadMarsh is basically the heavy hitter on our channel, I basically lack creativity these days with his Strategy and Tactics Talk videos coming out and I'm just sitting here playing the game on twitch with my stupid face up there hoping I eventually can make a living out of it, yeah no wonder this is going to shit You mean casting a tournament? Or making one? Thank you for your reply mate and GG on todays propagandacast! In: COH2 Gameplay

I often catch myself choosing the stream with a facecam lol I have a facecam aswell! I try my best to make it all personal, I mean I even have nicknames for all of my followers with long names In: COH2 Gameplay

Is your YouTube uploading irregular too? Perhaps this issue is the cause of both of your problems? I was hoping that would not be the case but you are probably right, man. It's just very hard to plan anything because of my irregular work hours. I basically work when I get summoned lol In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Help me get better at Twitching Coh2!10 Jun 2016, 20:06 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Jun 2016, 18:48 PMSuper Vegeta Hey! At what times do you stream? With what regularity? Have you tried promoting yourself with a facebook page? Are your YouTube channel and your twitch using the exact same content? At this moment my streams are rather irregular, I don't have reguar work hours so it's kinda hard to plan out... None of my friends on facebook play Company of heroes 2 which is the main focus of both the twitch channel aswell as the youtube channel so... I haven't posted anything about it there In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Help me get better at Twitching Coh2!10 Jun 2016, 16:10 PM Hi there! I've been uploading coh2 content aswell as other game content on my YouTube channel for a while now alongside my friend BreadMarsh on this site. I want to become better at Twitching though. I have been doing it for a while and I feel like it has started to drop off a little bit with the viewers and I just wonder why, I do consider myself an OK player and all, and I always try to interact with the people who watches my streams. I also think it's a lot more fun to play while twitching cause you get an outside perspective on what you're doing and sometimes you can get tips through the chat on how you can beat your opponent! So yeah I'm kinda sad seeing the viewers drop off, and I am really struggling to maintain a schedule on my streams. So if I could get any tips or anything I could do better on my Twitch channel I would highly appreciate it. Here's a link to the channel if you wish to further investigate; https://www.twitch.tv/locksherprod Many thanks, Lock. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Playstyle feedback/tips/tricks?27 May 2016, 19:17 PM Jump back to quoted post27 May 2016, 17:45 PMButcher In general your micro is good. I noticed only smaller mistakes. - You and your mate split up on Rails and metal. This is always bad in 2vs2s but especially on this map. It´s much better to try to grab one fuel point and hopefully both ammo points (with your combined force) at the same time while the opponents split. - You should use Skype/ Team Speak. You are too busy typing. - At 4:03 you pack up the MG again while Sturmpioniers are running through its arc. You might have been able to get a further model or even wipe with lucky rng if you had let it there. - At around 5:35 you have two infantry sections capping the fuel point. While they are sitting around you could have built a sandbag close to the "flag" so the sandbags only work in one direction. Usually helps. Especially against that Kübelwagen harrasing you while building the trench later. - At 6:45 unnecessary reposition of an MG again. You are moving it in closer against a force while you should keep it at range. - At 16:00 you are floating 430 munitions. Planting mines would have helped versus the troops engaging your emplacements. Or Bren upgrades for your infantry. Brens are the Best MG upgrade in the game. --> Be a bit more conservative with your MGs, watch your ressources and get up better communication/ teamwork. Wow what an awesome and detailed analysis! Thank you very much for taking the time to do this. I'll definitly keep this in mind the next time I play. I normally play USF so I think I treat the UKF a bit too aggessive instead of being defensive and digging in as the brits definitly do well. I'll also try and be a bit more on point with my munitions but I keep finding myself in situations where I dont want to spend the manpower and fuel going for the racks! I'll have to be a bit more patient getting out tanks aswell I guess :'D Anyways thank you very much, It's super appreciated, man! In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Playstyle feedback/tips/tricks?27 May 2016, 15:25 PM Hello there! I'm starting this topic because I wish to become a better Coh2 player and eventually match up with the high ranked player "BreadMarshLivePlace" which is a part of my YouTube channel where we put out casts and strategy guides aswell as twitch outtakes, so to be able to work better with him in 2v2s would be nice. Here;s a match of me playing; https://youtu.be/UXrkGCR_v4Q Thank you very much in advance :-D In: COH2 Gameplay
