I'm hoping for more coming in the next issue. You know, like a booster pack, but we don't have to buy anything other than our regular subscription fees.

As I recall, they only record the bigger ones so as not to fill their Ustream space up.

Usually takes them a day or two to show up. |

Bingo bango, although we've had some suggestions about possibly recording the audio portion and hosting it elsewhere. Not sure how compelling listening to audio of me bumbling along would be.

And after the devs entered that through their player feedback translator it came out as "Backpacks are $9.99" |

Though would be nice if they add some free ones as well heh.

Please do, a lot of us don't have time or are busy at the moment to get in on these live streams.

To be honest, I mostly just listen to the audio stream of it anyway, but that's usually because I'm raiding during the broadcast.|

And, the added advantage of an audio feed is I can sync it to my phone or something to listen to when I should be working.

Same here, I'm usually ingame or working (read: not working) on things during these. A Paragoncast would be pretty convenient for those that aren't able to catch the regularly scheduled and spontaneous ones. Plus, it's all the rage with the kids these days!|

P.S. Beastyle draws a mean whiteboard dinosaur, which sadly wouldn't carry over to audio format.

I would download and listen to an audio version if I couldn't catch it live.

Virtue [Heroes, Roleplay], Freedom [Villains], Exalted [All Sides, Roleplay]
Code:
I24 Proc Chance = (Enhanced Recharge + Activation Time) * (Current PPM * 1.25) / 60*(1 + .75*(.15*Radius - 0.011*Radius*(360-Arc)/30)) Single Target Radius = 0. AoE Non-Cone Arc = 360.
You could save each one and then delete them after they're up for a week, leaving a decent enough window of time for everyone to view the less important ones.

My 50s:
Hero: Armor Assassin (scrapper), Cross Dresser (scrapper), Surly Seaman (blaster), Defensive End (Tank), Rad Rhino (Cont)
Villain: Beast Infection (Corr), Sweet Zombie Jesus (MM), Milk Weasel (Stalker), Orgullo (MM), Agent Eris (Crab)

I kinda caught last night's chat (it was early evening UK time) but I was trying to get the kids in and out of the bath and into bed so missed most of the chat with David Nakayama.
It would be awesome to have been able to catch up with it later in the evening or this morning.

You could host them on one of your own servers, like Triumph or Liberty, or any "low-population" server where folks "can't find anyone to team with". They've got all that spare space, right? 
Where to find me after the end:
The Secret World - Arcadia - Shinzo
Rift - Faeblight - Bloodspeaker
LotRO - Gladden - Aranelion
STO - Holodeck - @Captain_Thiraas
Obviously, I don't care about NCSoft's forum rules, now.

He soooo sounds like Wil Wheaton! Even looks a little bit like him in my opinion.
Help Dirk Knightly the freelance detective solve a case in Arc ID:368097
Zwillinger asked me to provide a weekly Top Ten list to read during the broadcasts...
Ummm... not sure that sort of thing should be preserved for posterity. I think it might corrode the servers.
On the other hand, since the rootword of posterity seems to be posterior... that might be appropriate after all.
My mind wanders so often you've probably seen its picture on milk cartons. - Me... the first person version of the third person Steelclaw

New lore pet trees are coming before Issue 21 (presumably with the new trials), and include: - Arachnos - Carnival of Shadows - Nemesis Powerset proliferation for Issue 21 isn't official, but they are trying to get something in there. Those were most of the major points I can remember. Might be glossing over some stuff, though. |
