Videochat March 2016

[danielsangeo]

I'm the one that "screens" the questions. Which questions did you think I did wrong on? I will try to rectify any error. Also, just because the question is posted doesn't mean Ross will answer it. He sometimes will skip questions. Either way, I don't want to be the one at fault so if you could point out where I did wrong, that'd be great, so I don't continue to do wrong in the future.

 

Well the thing is, I think there should be questions saved for moments where there's nothing interesting in the chat. I understand when Ross skips questions in the chat that he has talked about before, or that he needs time to think about (that's why I sent my most interesting questions ahead of time last time btw), or that are simply not worth answering.

But if it's a good question, like one I had about the turn they gave to the story in the LoK sequels, and what would he think silicon knights' direction had they developed it.

So what I think would work better is if you screen the questions people send so that you take out non relevant ones, and the ones that are, you can give them to Ross so he can answer the best ones and if towards the end of the chat, as it has happened, questions run dry then he can maybe answer 1 or 2 more while people submit others. I just thought it was frustrating seeing questions I thought were interesting get past over because there wasn't enough time, then see Ross spending minutes in silence because people didn't ask interesting stuff.

As I said before, far from disrespect or bad criticism, I just want to give my thoughts and hopefully help everyone involved have a much better experience in the videchats. I do appreciate the work and time that goes into them, and since I have been asking for this for ages I just want to see it be as good as it can be.

 

If you want, please repost your unanswered question(s) to [email protected] and I'll be sure Ross sees everything you post this time. Again, my apologies.
