Forgot about weekly clips. It would be literally perfect for all the new multi ally streams. Much more likely for clip worthy stuff to happen and no way to realistically keep up with all of them and the memes they eventually spawn. Very weird omission, especially with Sleuth's cancellation.
the only realistic things i want now:
- edit and put the multiple allies stream on the main channel
e: weekly clips would be great, but I also understand why they don't want to commit to it. It'd be cool if the community could do it somehow, but I'm not sure what that process looks like (except for having one person volunteer and then unfairly waiting for them to burn out on it)
the only realistic things i want now:
- edit and put the multiple allies stream on the main channel
- friend code only after directs or major news
- brad show (what has he been up to? new retro?)
most of the shows feel a little stretched, speculating about things to fill time and not because they are interesting or realistic. there just isn't enough nintendo news to have a good nintendo news pod on a schedule. i'd much rather have damiani do another pod/project and do friend code when there is actual news. restructuring the pod into something a little different would be fine too.Do you mean an extra friend code for announcements? Or less friend code overall?
If you mean less, then why?
Are you talking about the Patreon-exclusive shows? Because those will still continue. Their next one is Together We RPG.
We're taking the time to develop new shows and to bring back some of our past series, which we'll outline below. In the past, most of our shows have been tied to explicit dollar amounts on Patreon, but this will no longer be the case. In fact, we're removing all goals from our Patreon entirely
Nope. Just that the Patreon Goals got removed (Studio, Full Playthrough Fridays, Live Guest Show etc).
We won't be laying out a schedule for full playthroughs, but we will do them for games we're excited to play together such as Man of Medan.
"no goals" just means no shows/etc are tied to hitting a dollar number each month. Doesn't say anything about Patreon exclusivity (and I believe what they said is that their "pilot season" of some of their new shows will stay exclusive)EDIT: From their Patreon:
Does this not imply that no shows will be Patreon exclusive? Maybe just the one show is Patreon exclusive? Because as far as I can read it's the only one that mentions being exclusive to Patreon. The rest just mention delays. If so I think that would be ok.

Kyle specifically said that going forward they are going to use Patreon Exclusive Shows to see what works. Good one's (like Achieve It Yourself) will continue as a public shows, patron's get to keep the baddies :)

I get that it's only anecdotal and I'm only talking about one person, but a friend of mine started watching EZA because I talked to him about TTE. I believe he watched all of them, but he might have stopped in season 2 somewhere, I haven't talked to him about it a lot any more. He for sure watched the first season and I know he started the second one. He also was a patron at one time, but I don't know if he still is.I get that people are sad about Tabletop Escapades, but talk about a niche show! 80+ episode seasons, incredibly impenetrable show. There was no way I was going to get into it, and I'm a huge EZA fan! Think about how more casual EZA fans felt. Occasional Board Game Show is absolutely for the best. Yeah, I do wish it was more frequent, but if it means we're getting great quality, I'm happy.
Eh....I'm not seeing it. Most of what you've mentioned are either infrequent shows, or ones that almost definitely won't be short-form. Several of them will probably still be in a 'stream' format even if they aren't necessarily live, too.I think they overemphasized the streaming side on their presentation too much, because if you really think about it we're getting more short-form edited content with:

Edit: Huber's Prison of Love is a great idea. If anyone can make someone love a game it's Michael Huber. Expect to see Bosman with Link to the Past and Bioshock. What other games do Allies legitimately hate?
But if you look at what we're getting on a weekly basis, it's almost all streams. In addition to the group stream, we now have a weekly Huber & Damiani stream, a weekly Blood, Ben and Brad stream, a weekly Kyle/Jones stream and a weekly Monster Hunter stream. Plus irregular Ian/Don streams, synth streams, a monthly patreon-selected game stream and probably more I'm forgetting.
I don't watch a lot of streams either, but I don't have a problem with that. I just don't watch the video if I don't find the time or it doesn't interest me.Eh....I'm not seeing it.

I definitely don't think they overemphasised it, lol.
Again...if you look at what we're getting on a consistent, weekly basis, the new streaming ventures absolutely dominates their output. Most of what you keep mentioning are either infrequent, only back for a limited run, or will likely be more or less a stream anyway even if they aren't live.
And Gundam streams.

Yeah, I don't watch videos of things that I'm not interested in either. I was just disagreeing with the person who was implying that EZA announced new short-form edited content on anywhere near the same level as they did for new streams.I don't watch a lot of streams either, but I don't have a problem with that.

Uh...I didn't want another podcast? I was hoping for more short-form (10-30 minutes) weekly content, ideally with bits - think something like Final Bosman (but obviously not that because Kyle clearly has no interest in it).I'm sure there will be plenty of content to watch from EZA (there isn't a lot of cut content and almost all of it has a replacement). They really couldn't add another podcast. I love the podcasts they produce, but they have plenty of them.
They've got to play Catan at least once. I'm hoping for Sentinels of the Multiverse. Wish Talisman wasn't basically dead....can't wait for the Occasional Board Game Show
i hope they occasionally play simpler games, like The Game of Life or Monopoly, but i love the more complex games too
Ok, I think I now better understand what type of content you wanted to see. I still think some cool shows will come out of the Patreon exclusive shows, but they obviously won't be weekly.Yeah, I don't watch videos of things that I'm not interested in either.

So I can't say that I'm not disappointed by the Phase 4 plans, because as others here were mentioning just before the Patreon Survey was posted - I have been feeling a bit underwhelmed by EZA this year, and I was looking forward to this in the hopes that the restructuring would make excited again. But almost none of the new stuff appealed to me.
Granted, hopefully this will re-energize the Allies in general anyway, and solve the issue I was having.

Their monopoly streams are legendary though (and I personally still like Monopoly), but I get where you are coming from (since it will only be 4 times a year). I'm fine with whatever boardgame they can find. There are plenty of good ones I never even heard of.*gag*
Please, there are so many modern board games we really don't need them to waste a quarterly show playing old, busted crap.
That's like asking the allies under the old group stream schedule to once a month play nothing but classic atari 2600 games. Let old busted stuff stay in the past.
dont worry, they update them

There is more scripted/shorter shows aswell..I'm disappointed Game Sleuth is gone. They were among the most watched videos on YouTube and usually had a nice length.
I honestly don't care about the streams, watching someone play FFXIV constantly isn't interesting to me. They are also mostly on times not suited for someone living in Europe
Was really hoping for more scripted/shorter shows and less streams. Europeans are getting the short stick with phase 4

It kinda feels like the EZA playing to their hardcore rather than focusing on a new people discovering them and that's kinda disappointing. Having more streams which tend to pull about 1k people live and maybe another 8 or 9k on YouTube seems like a really weird move unless you're basically just trying to focus on your hardest of hardcore fanbase . Which is a fine strategy but not one I expected from them.
I always viewed GT and later EZA as people creating shows. Got into them by watching Final Bosman and later started giving the rest of their shows a chance and it was honestly quite great. Even with the move to the garage and having to do more long form podcasts from logistical and economic reasons I felt that the essence of any I liked these guys stayed. Now the focus seems very much on satisfying the chat and the twitch audience which I really don't care. However, like I said it is an announcement that plays very well in the EZA hardcore community so at least there are people who are excited about this.
