Wcml: Trent Valley Q + A

Hello everyone,

DTG Harry, dtg_jan
Since DTG doesn't seem able to set up a Q&A thread for the WCML: Trent Valley livestream, I'm just going to go ahead and do it myself.

This is the official Q&A thread for the upcoming WCML: Trent Valley Preview Stream. Please use this thread only for questions, not for discussions.


The preview stream will take place on Wednesday, June 3, at 6:00 p.m. UTC on YouTube and Twitch.

 

They will probably set one up at last minute like they have before.

 

Livestreams should just be set to manual. I’m pretty sure it was the Medway Valley Stream where halfway in it was ruined with fog… I could be wrong it might have been a different stream but I’m pretty sure it was Medway.

 

whoever is streaming for DTG usually sets the weather to manual, light clouds and add the fog slider. fog is known to help reduce TSW stutter and blurring. they use the fog to hide the issues. its not that the route wont look good, its more that id like to see what im actually paying for and not get spat on but told its raining

 

Please, DTG, show the WCML: Trent Valley route in the livestream without all that fog.

As paying customers, we want to see exactly what a route has to offer so we can get an unobstructed view of it. That’s all we customers want to see in a preview stream.
We don’t want to see fog, or hear laughter and constant chatter; instead, we want to be able to hear the sounds that have been added.
If you stick to your usual standard for this livestream, as you have in the past, I hope that many users won’t buy the route right away, but will wait until the ambassadors show us unaltered videos.

 

I hope consoles don’t receive a reduced TT.

 

They can't, that would require fixing the bugs with the dynamic weather always switching to thick fog after 10-15 minutes. In fact last night I had a case where I was driving through dense fog which instantly evaporated (as if controlled by a light switch) about a mile outside Reading. "Expect the unexpected"... I suppose they did subtly warn us there'd be bugs everywhere.

 

I hate it when the fog just disappears suddenly all at once

 

It’s like something you’d see from the Harry Potter films

 

Point of order. If you don’t work for or are authorised by DTG how can you claim to make your Q&A thread ‘official’?

 

I am not super into Harry Potter but I believe he casts "De facto" that achieves this.

 

I'd also like some re-assurance that if I buy on day one (PC) I'll not suffer a loss of drivable services in any subsequent attempts to solve issues with the console versions. Lesson learned from recent events with B2C!
