Borderlands has a twitch extension for viewers to view gear of the streamer they are watching. Also they have a chance to get a gun from special red chests when a streamer opens one. If you want to see what this looks like here is a link
I think it's a fun way to get items and could be used in em8er. What do you think about it?
I don't know if there will be chests in Em8er. However, this is an interesting mechanic to consider. Perhaps instead of twitch, Em8er should make use of DLive, as I suspect by the time of its release, DLive will be the more popular platform. I'm not the authority on this however, Big G is, so whichever one he chooses, we will know it's the right decision.
Now, if you take this mechanic and combine it with the omniframe customization mechanic you get some pretty interesting potential. For instance, say Torgue starts streaming and he's using an omniframe he designed and named, say, destruktikron. If you like the way he plays, you could use this mechanic to add the destruktikron to your list of blueprints (assuming you have the necessary unlocks in the tech tree) so you can craft it for future use, or you could use an pp to search for listings on the trde market. There are probably other things to do with combining these mechanics, but I'm tired and can't think of any.
Just thought of one! now we take the torgue/destruktikron example again but this time he's going offline, but you want to watch more destruktikron gameplay, you could use the mechanic t search for other streamers using the destruktikron, and if there are any, you could click link that gets you to one of the channels that pop up. I guess that doesn't relly combine with the omnifrme customization mechanic, but still.
