I just finished watching the stream, it was interesting but mainly seeing how new people fair in the game- badly. It's great to have this exposure on a large site, however, watching them struggle and be confused will further deter new people from joining. Maybe tomorrow (or sometime in the coming days) we can get members of this forum/community to join the stream, comment, answer questions and support the potential new players. We need better exposure so that others can see why we put in insane amounts of hours in New Eden.

It wouldn't take much time, in fact you could have it on while playing Dust or doing other random things, but the stream is badly lacking in solid information. Just having a few community members on the stream would help immensely.

We need to get the word out on why Dust is so great.

Several of us have been online trying to answer questions and generally nudge them in the right direction. I know Grideris was trying hard to help and squaded up for a while. I was trying to answer questions while my son ran with them for some time but they had little interest in team work or learning the game. The best host(?) so far was Justin and it turns out he already plays EVE.

Interesting idea but the execution wasn't the best. Next time they should approach the community and look for members to tag along.

Next time they should approach the community and look for members to tag along. I think that's a great idea, building a bridge between the dust community and "outsiders" the question is, does the dust community want to open their arms to a horde of new players? It would be great, and the flood of bodies would rapidly increase but the potential for broken hearts and tears is high (maybe that's a good thing). Whatever the case, Dust needs to find a way to make a name for itself (ie. video mags/sites, streams, more tourneys that are broadcast on major sites, and a twitch.tv presence) As it stands, Dust has almost no visibility on twitch, in fact most days there are no streams running which is confusing because that other crappy massive map mmofps averages +200 viewers at any give time. Even if it only brings in a few 100 viewers, that right there is an increase in exposure. Do we ant to increase the visibility of Dust in the video game market? I would love to see it, what about everyone else?
