Why is no one playing streaming the game on twitch?

[neuronfly]

What is the reason behind this?

What the hell kind of of question is that.


Of COURSE Emperor Karl Franz would look good in a bikini (preferably, a chainmail bikini.)

Rrrr, so hot (ish)

Hmmm. Would Karl look good in a bikini?

Originally posted by Karl Franz:

I would look strong in any clothes I wear. I am strong in my Empire bikini, and I am strong in my swimsuit calendar. I am strong in my armor, and I am strong out of my armor. I am strong wearing nothing at all! I am strong - and my friends and I can be so strong for this world and for each other in honest Empire swimwear and honest Empire surfwear. The world of honest love is strong with a strong body. And a strong body is strong in their love!

There is no such thing as a bad time for wearing a bikini. If there are no times for bikinis, then you create times for bikinis. Honest Empire bikinis - and honest Empire beer - make the time and place for themselves! In fact! Honest Empire beer is strong enough to go anywhere - even a bad place! But then good times will not be bad any more. We will bring strength everywhere. Honest strength, of the Empire - to all. Good things, good love, good surf. Honest Empire surfwear for honest Empire bikinis. Honest good love, for all.

Well it looks like your answer it was from the Emperor Karl Franz himself no less.

Instead of watching someone else play the game; why not play it for yourself.

I can't speak on behalf of everyone that turned away from streaming Warhammer 3 but I did speak to a few and there is a variety of reasons. For me personally Warhammer 3 was not enjoyable to stream because the fanbase is completely split so i found myself playing the middle ground to people that hate the game and love the game. That shouldn't be interpreted as me disliking the game, but it became so exhausting that it just wasn't worth streaming any more. It caused me to become quite negative and I spiralled from there. I'd literally rather take a pay cut than stream this game right now. Variety content does not work for me so my options were keep streaming Warhammer 3 or just stop. I chose to stop and I think I made the right choice. If Warhammer 3 had been better I would still be streaming right now. In all honesty since I stopped streaming I have barely played it at all and am a lot happier now as well.

Others have left temporarily because there is no new content for months and the interest is at the lowest point we've seen in years. It's completely demoralising and some people, including myself, just can't show up and pretend to be happy about it. Even though people are playing the game, most are not seeking to watch gameplay on Youtube or Twitch. It's also important to note that the number of people playing Warhammer 3 at the moment is at the lower end of what Warhammer 2 had. Warhammer 3 has not brought a larger playerbase to Total War. It is a bit smaller than it was before and it continues to shrink. It just hasn't quite hit the stride that Warhammer 2 achieved. Not yet anyway. Dlc usually brings these players back but we know there isn't any coming until April at the earliest. Some of us just can't wait around that long when there is other things happening elsewhere. You'll probably see a surge of streamers come back to Warhammer 3 around March but until then I'd expect things to get even quieter.

Some people will say things along the lines of "it's your job so suck it up" and there is some truth to that. However streamers have no employers and part of the job is to have passion for the game that you play. You can't just suck it up and force passion. People can tell when you're just there because of the paycheck and not there for the gameplay. It's certainly not worth showing up for the sense of community. The playerbase is too divided right now and infighting is rife.

There's also the fact that many other games were released this year that are on the same interest level as Warhammer 3 that vies for peoples attention. Warhammer 3 is just not being competitive in this regard which causes streamers to make content elsewhere or just take a break. Darktide is a big pull at the moment and is a major contributing factor to lack of Warhammer 3 entertainers.

Hope that gives a bit of insight as to why there are fewer streamers right now.

Yo Legend, mad respect to you man. I am a big fan of yours. Don't pay attention to the haters in the forums here. Its clear that people in this forum are jealous of your success. Keep doing what you love doing and you will always have support from people like me.

And yes I completely agree with what you said. The game has so little content right now that it has reduced the playerbase to a tiny fraction. Not to mention all the censorship like removing the hanging intestines from the Great Unclean One and replacing that with a giant mouth. The game is a big disappointment even with immortal empires BETA as its becoming quit clear now that it was rushed for a quick profit.

Nice explanation, though you forgot the obvious main reason: the lack of hotseat mode. Isn't that right Puggly?

Warhammer 2 cheated with the Cov, unless an event similar to this happen again, warhammer 3 will never reach the same numbers...

I loved to watch the tourneys hosted by Mysonhw for example who had even two differnt leagues going on with rookies and established players from the different clans. From there it was possible to get to know the players and their related streams if they did stream. Also the "world championship" hosted by turin got bigger every year and there actually was a little hype going since competetive players from other games started to get intrested in TWW, and they tend to swarm around when they get bored by their current games. I know there were other streamers hosting little turneys up to just friends playing some 1v1s and made a "league". I dont want to speak for anyone but for me as a viewer its really kinda sad that a lot of little streamers who tried to set somthing up are not streaming anymore right now.

See, people. This is a true shill.

Why on earth would we be jealous of LTW? I find his playstyle to be utterly boring to watch. The only thing I have issue with, are his fans. That mindlessly copy what he does and get angry if you play differently.

Game currently has more content then Warhammer 2. Far more. At launch it had more content then either game 1 or 2 had at launch.
There is no "censoring". You do realize the belly mouth is part of Nurgle's looks since day 1, right? Sure more variation and having the guts hang out would be nice. But the bellymouth ain't censorship.

And you do understand that ME was a BETA as well? But without the tag thrown on?

You're forgetting something which also factors in, people are just bored of Total War Warhammer. The title has been going on for some time now. People want something new, something fresh.

I for one find game 3 to be the best of the trilogy, but I sunk so much time into game 2 already. Replaying the older races and factions just doesn't appeal to me. I'm burned out of the game and just trying other games.

I imagine you doing this as a job have it even worse.

[chickabumpbump]

Because its a niche game, nothing to do with visuals. The only people who care about warhammer PLAY warhammer. This is NOT a big franchise and strategy games are not big anymore.

This doesnt have any variety, not really, you play as Race A and you will play the same way with Race A every time, same enemies, same methods, same results every time.

Basically this.

Since immortal empires release, we're basically back to where game 2 left off for a few years, which is playing the same sandbox mode albeit with more content now. Which is fine, it's exactly what a lot of people were asking for since day 1.

So now we're back to waiting for the next dlc to drop to spice things up. It just feels kind of bad since the next content drop is a while away.

To help solve this, I'd love to have a random map generator of some sort to make campaigns even more dynamic and unique.

Mods to change starting positions can spruce things up.
