@Dezien Oh ok the way I read it lol its what I saw thanks for clarification .

I stream because it is fun. The donation button is there for anyone who wishes to support me, by throwing a dollar here and there to help pick up another game is all hell don't even have to donate at all. Im not looking to become some major top list streamer with hundreds of people watching every night. 5-10 people is all i'm looking for every stream. Im going to be making the switch from twitch to Hitbox because I feel with the games I enjoy playing I will have a better chance to get viewers. Also adding an extra day as well and extending my stream times from 2 to 3 hours a night. I feel this will have more of an impact. Your posts are helpful to me and allow me to see what i need to work on.

Thanks,

No one cares if 4 hours a week is A LOT for YOU. No one cares if you have a kid, a wife, 3 fulltime jobs on the side and streaming basically takes up 100% of your free time... so you are really dedicated, right? I call BS! (btw 4 hours must be a joke, did you write that wrong? You want to be a twitch streamer and compete with channels that stream 80+ hours a week, by streaming 4? lol).

Everyone and their mother thinks if they start a twitch channel or YouTube that views will just come rolling in and a month later, the $$. You are a dime a dozen and majority of streams sucks or are inconsistent.

Reminds me a bit about this dude called Sic Avenger, he spammed forum here, clickbaiting for his youtube channel/twitch channel. and this was the video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_WkB2TB8so

Worst piece of s.. I have seen in a long time. I watched it though and spend a lot of time trying to help him out on how to improve, but totally wasted my time apparently. His videos are still the worst quality ever, and he's still pulling like 200 views on a video.

It's really not that hard. Watch some popular streams see what they do, Watch some good youtube channels like rhykker, quinn69 etc.

They have ACTUAL CONTENT, imagine that. Popular streamers are the ones that interact with viewers, doing something out of the ordinary, and actually stream a lot. It's not that hard to see what it takes to become a successfull stream.

High quality content, high quality stream, and a TON of streaming hours. If you can't provide those things, why should anyone watch you, when there are 20 other streams that are doing those things right? Of course there is the ace up the sleeve, BOOBS!! that helps

My best tip. Don't quit your dayjob, drop this idea about twitch streaming cause you are NOT cut out for it. You don't have the equipment, the time or the vision about what it takes to be a stream-entertainer. Save yourself some headache and focus on your family instead. Gaming is a hobby for you, treat it as such.

Sorry bud but ima keep streaming because I enjoy it, I will use negitive vibe and feed off it. Maybe use it push myself harder to put more time into streaming thanks for the reply

Hey @dezien I was once given some great advice when I first started streaming "Stream the games that you enjoy playing, not games you hate". why I was told this is because if you enjoy the game you stream you will get followers and viewers. Say I was playing a game I did not enjoy streaming my energy would not be that high and my views would be down. So calingl me "Stupid" for streaming a game I love is kind of immature and ignorant . I'm not asking you to take your time to watch me stream just for real tips with Diablo 3 streams. Your not really helping by flat out insulting me.

Thanks,

I'm currently at 400 Followers.. I stream 20+ Hours a week.. and go to school full time..

• you streaming only 4 hours a week is pathetic saying that you wanna get somewhere when streaming.
• I get around 60 viewers because i have a group of people that know when i stream consistantly.
• I've only streamed for about 2 years.
• For you to say that you are trying and stuff, you really arent. an i hate when people make these comments saying that they dont know how to improve or get more people to watch.. When you are streaming for 4 hours a week and your gettin 2 followers a week? Thats insane.
• I streamed for about 30 hours a week when i first started, and i didnt get a single follower for 2 MONTHS.. STRAIGHT. You dont know how hard it is, and i hate when people complain. "i dont know what to do"
• I'm not trying to be a troll. but sometimes you just need the cold hard truth, and for someone to say that you need to get your shit together.
• I hope you stream more, because someone who makes a post srteaming only 4 hours a week, really shows that you dont want to get anywhere.
• Streamers who stream for 30+ hours and dont get a single viewer, is the one i have Sympathy for.
• Stream more, and dont stop. It is VERY hard.

Hey nice constructive criticism. Some people cant stream 30+ hours a week and hate to burst your 400+ follower count my sister has bee streaming for only a year and she have a little over 1k so you must be doing something wrong or its cause you don't have a vagina. Anyway I stream only 4 hours a week because its the time that i have to stream I could probably stream more but that would remove quality time with my wife. Also having a kid makes it a little harder because of her sleep times. I get your not being a Troll and I do appreciate everyone who posts here may it be harsh or friendly.

Thanks again,

Synapse88

Thanks RiffSphere for the tips and info. I do understand that I need to stream more through out the week but what hinders me mostly is my kid's sleep schedule she goes to sleep around 9-9:30. Also I get off work around 8:30 at night on my stream nights. So its really hard for me to get an early start, I would stream more throughout the week but I also see that family time is important. I guess I need to talk with the wife about allowing me to stream maybe 2 more days a week and maybe starting earlier.

As to my Stream quality, I have a high end performance PC but my Internet hinders me I only have 6mbps download and .65mbps Upload. I have to run at an lower quality. If I had faster net speeds I could run at great quality but I feel it will come in time.

My post is looking for tips on what to do and I think I am going to switch to Hitbox for the main reason of how casual I am. The main post was kind of a Vent post Im just fustrated maybe I could have posted else ware about this but idk figured i would reach out to a good Diablo Community. Anyway thanks again!

First off, the part you're gonna hate most. Use multiple paragraphs when you're typing something like that, it looks like a big boring block of text especially with lots of ()'s in it.

As for the streaming thing, you gotta keep at it, switching to Hitbox might help but remember their viewership is also lower than Twitchs'. I can tell ya now I've never been to Hitbox to just check out random streamers (not that I really do it with twitch much either but every now and again).

yea I noticed this issue after I posted, and I understand that I gotta keep at it. I know its rough out there, I think most of it is justa lot of discouragement. Thanks for the reply!

Hello Thanks for this topic!

Title:Diablo 3 fun!

Link is : twitch.tv/synapse88

I stream Tuesday 10-12 PM EST and Saturday 10-12 PM EST

Thanks,

Synapse88

Hey Synapse88 here, i have been streaming on Twitch since February. I started streaming Diablo 3 shortly before Season 3. I have a total of 37 followers on twitch and I gain 1-2 new followers a week if that. I'm not begging people to come watch my stream for pity but more along the lines of what can I do different. There are roughly 30-40 different Diablo 3 streams going on at once maybe more, so when I start streaming I'm way at the bottom of the list. My wife supports me and is always in my stream boosting me up to 2 viewers instead of 1. (I know there are lots of grammar errors within this, please don't judge or hate on that I know internet trolls who love to bash on people who are horrible with grammar.) Back to my rant ( lol ), so please helpful tips would be great also anyone think maybe I should switch to Hitbox I am not sure if I should considering how small the viewer counts are. I actively post on twitter my handle is @synapse_88 and my twitch link is www.twitch.tv/synapse88 please check me out some time. Also please give helpful tips not useless internet bashing thanks so much!

Quote from Irrational

Okay so I've been patrolling youtube videos, forums, and the game itself and a common theme is that people like to say that Diablo 3 is a very disappointing game and that the expectations it had were undeserved and all that usual nonsense.

What?

Diablo 3 is a very good game. First off, the gameplay is extremely well done. Just because it takes aspects of WoW, which is arguably the greatest multiplayer game ever made (coming from a guy who does not like WoW), does not make it a bad game. Just because the map is in the corner and not covering the whole fucking screen does not make it bad. The enemies are very enjoyable and the skills you have are also extremely fun and awesome. Like I finally decided to get a Wizard to Inferno and I realized how much freedom I had compared to all the other Diablo games.

I think that over the course of twelve years of waiting for this game, hardcore fans (don't worry I did this too) made their own Diablo 3 in their head and were very sad to not see their own ideas in the game. I think the story was extremely awesome. Yes I agree that Diablo's taunts were a bit cheesy and Magdha could have been a bit better done, but seriously, who cares? Maghda was a very interesting character and gave Belial a better name. I honestly just wished we could have faught against Imperius -___-

The music is also very good in the game.

The gameplay is very solid, the lore is awesome, and questing/multiplayer is very cool. I don't know why people hate on it so much, but like the old saying goes, haters gonna hate.

Diablo 3 = 9/10
