Should the "Streams" Section feature AOEII Streams?

Post by Kommander »

I think having a few AOEII streams up in the sidebar would be nice. Not too excessive so i'd vote for selectively selected AOEII streams.

I do see some bias problems that will arise from this though. Something like YouTube's trending (in the vaguest sense possible...) :?

Just a couple of the top aoeii players imo (with the ability to turn it off on the sidebar)

Then again it might be depressing to see TheViper with 2k viewers, and the aoe3 stream beneath it having only 50.

based off the comments and results so far it doesn't seem worth the devs' efforts.

Thought i'd be nice, but yeah, having to program that in wouldn't be necessary, especially when most are against the idea. :lol:

We can always go into twitch and type "Age of Empires" then wait for the results, which would be Age of Empires II :hmm:

We're a community platform for AoE3 and AoEO, you will find content for these games here. AoE2 is not included because we don't support their community on this site. They have their own community forums, which right now, is enough.

Why would we? They despise us and have larger community not to mention MS support, expansions...

Id not mind having the aoe2 stream with the most viewers up there (so just one stream).

there are no such "efforts" just for the record, but I don't think we should extend our support to AoE2 as long as AoE2 community doesn't help us in any way because actually, we need more help than they do.

Agree with @dicktator_, seems like we'd be shooting ourselves in the foot, unless perhaps the support is mutual.
But unfortunately the communities are currently too divided for this to do any good I think, it would likely just cause more flame from both sides.

How about adding AoE2 streams but generating a random number from 0 to 9 as their viewer count to make ourselves look better?
Pay more attention to detail.

Never really understood why the aoe community is so polarised

At this point it is a meme and doesn't reflect any actual opinions, generally.

What's a meme, polarization? Definitely not.

"AoE3 is shit. Wtf are shipments and treasures? Lolol is that even an RTS?!?!?" or "AoE3 masterrace" are just a meme as I see it. I don't think most people are very serious with their opinions.

To me it seems that most AoE2 players are actually pretty serious in their contempt for AoE3. There's a very real danger that AoE4 will just be AoE2 2.
