    I like the "On Air" idea - what if instead of having yet another thing floating over your head, when you are "On Air" then some kind of fancy broadcasting icon preceded your name in chat?

    That's a good suggestion, however, since I do stream, I can see a big flaw with that. Streamers often use their stream and Discord as the primary means of communication. I don't type nearly as much in game when streaming because my attention is very split between OBS, the stream chat, and Discord. I type only as much as I absolutely have to. So it's not likely that many people would see a chat icon. I think a 'title' to replace Roleplaying/Helper/Help Me! would allow the maximum amount of people to visually identify that the content is being streamed and thus decline participation or move away. I believe the original suggestion was mostly seeking a way to respect the wishes of people who don't want to be on stream.

    I actually really like the idea of "On Air" as well, since that's more inclusive, so people making YouTube videos and other content creators would be covered as well.
     

    And this is the primary reason I'd use this feature.  While I do have a macro I use to inform teams I am streaming and chat is covered for their privacy, I'm human and between all the things I'm juggling, I'll sometimes forget to hit it.  I just want to be courteous and polite to those around me.

    On an additional note, it could potentially be synergistic to both the content creators and Homecoming.  I know on Twitch, people are rediscovering City of Heroes everyday, returning to the game.  The "On Air"  or "Streamer" option could help those content creators grow their channel, in turn getting more visibility on CoH, and helping more people rediscover our game.

     Agreed! "On Air" sounds better. 

    I, too, cover chat. Most of my teams are either folks that I know well or folks that are picked up from stream, so I often just send a tell to the random folks that might not know. But it's still a good idea to let folks on the team know what's up. 

    I do think the streaming helps folks get back in, or get started with, the game. I've helped quite a few newbie players hook up with HC and get started playing, and I know you have helped even more!

    Doesn't this run into the problem that if you're close enough to read the character's tag you're already in visual range to be caught in the stream cam?

    I would guess that would depend on how they have their field of view adjusted, as well as your video settings (r/t how close/far you will be able to read tags).

    Just a note here: the DawL House did provide a lot of funding and other help for that event, but they were not the primary fundraisers. 😊 Lots of people helped with that! The biggest contributor was @BlackHearted and Associates. 
     

    I love the enthusiasm that streamers and such bring to the game!

    I think he's referring mainly to the Halloween Costume contest. That was entirely funded by folks from the DawL House and Federation of Xzianthia.  I am not sure if he was aware of who funded the trick-or-treating. So I'm sure he didn't mean to leave out any donors!
