Matches take priority of Q and A's.
Also The QnA's audio equipment is not hooked into the streaming equipment so if they are shown it will be minimal.
The QnA's are targeted at the attendees much like the Autograph sessions.
However, People Watching the Stream will see everything shown on the main stage.

Please provide us with a written protocol of the Q&A's!
As the Q's will come from the attendees (aka community), I think the A's will be of great importance for all of us who had no possibility to go to Vancouver!!

No mention if poutine will be available in the video

In case someone is wondering, dis is poutine

That looks disgusting...

Seriously, do you really want to get the trashiest of junk food on such an event? Even if the taste maybe good, just the look alone... I mean that looks like someone eat that just before you got it

Also... Is Paul gonna be there for Q & A?

No, he'll be there for Tetris (like for the launch party).

The fact the Q&As won't be mic'd and recorded properly has killed my entire reason to watch the stream. The matches are of little matter to me, they will do what they do and someone will get paid. But the future of the game will be being discussed in those Q&As and that is what matters to the vast majority of us. Please reconsider and mic the Q&As and even if they aren't the main stream put them up fully recorded on the Youtube channel.

Almost a perk of paying money and travelling to attend the event...

Gravy, senor. Usually gravy on the classic.

But i've seen interesting poutine creations that do use maple syrup.

So have I, that's why I asked.

agreed and I understand why they are doing that as it is, but the transport costs alone would use up more than 6 months worth of "spare" money at my current rate of pay, so unless my financial circumstances drastically improve, travelling to Canada for something like that will remain financially out of my reach

Ok, then offer a paid stream like many con events do to see the stage you want to see. Since I don't get the food, etc, I'll give $20 to just be able to watch all the q&as and announcement stages.

God dammit PGI. When will you learn that just because people can use a computer and a browser and play a pretty complicated Multiplayer FPS, they cant necessarily find the official time spoiler on the official event page and convert the listed times to their own local time. Plz PGI. Git Gut and carry harder...

A tool like WorldTimeBuddy (or just ask Google your question) will help you solve this problem on your own.

Saturday 1200 PST is the same as Saturday 2000 UTC.

To elaborate on the issue. The written URL is correct but the hyperlink redirects to this forum thread and not to the twitch channel.

It probably wont make sense to stream matches. But why should anything else be different. I imagine that a lot of people will be dropping while watching the official stream.

First this game isn't complicated at all.
Second the "innershere account" is managed by a CM, his work is too communicate about the game with the whole community.

Every time they have a stream they don't give any UTC info or GMT if you prefer well every europeon know how convert local time from UTC.
But in this new there isnt even a proper time like 12.00 AM.

I personnaly know how find the local shedule for me i do it lots of time for check their streams and well for this one i wasn't sur about "noon" word.


Also think about all people who arent simply english fluent at all ( maybe they don't buy enough mech package ? )
For they know when they have to watch the stream:

• They will go to google for find a translator site
  
• They must translate in google " Start time at Noon PST Saturday December 3rd!!"
  
• Then will have to find a proper site for converting hours( some are really bad or simply too complicated for a one shoot use )
  
• Then will convert time PTD to their local time.

Multiplicate thoses operations how many time for each guys interested ( maybe PGI think playerbase is too tiny lol ) when just by doing it THEMSELF one time with UTC time ( and why not some asians main standard ) well isn't that hard.





Well all thoses people, they will buy a mech package? or maybe simply feel that PGI don't care about them or are just maybe imcompetents about how communicate around their game ... It's the mechcon ( and i bet the last one .. )

Genius don't need you for resolve PGI lacks/breach myself but i hope one day they may just have for standard to give shedule/time in main timezone standard not only PDT...

Like they do now for each events ( 2 years ago events were only in PDT and we had same kind of geniuses like you who think they discovered google while rest of mankind aren't aware it exist.. )

Edit ;Personnaly i use http://fr.thetimenow...e-converter.php
This site have his own tab in my brownser just next to the PGI twitch tab (use it only for PGI ) and won't exist if PGI gave UTC infos directly in theirs news....

How dare they release a schedule that's time-synched to the continent in which the event is located!

[Robert Bruce]

Sadly,even though I live just a ferry ride away,I was not able to get the time off to attend :/ ,which is rather disappointing.
maybe next year.....

Could some of you complain a little quieter? I mean like wow...some people are never happy!

As for the heathens who dis poutine?
you are dead to me

Glhf to the competitors!
congrats to the PGI crew for another feather in your cap (I would still love a tour of the home of MWO some time)

see ya on the battle field!

Dang, looks like I'll still be asleep when Mech_Con starts. Do I understand right, that it lasts nominally 13 hours? I'm not perfectly familiar with the 12 hour clock.
