Could have easily done the whole stream in 40-60 minutes with the potential to have time to answer questions. Instead, a lot of time was spent talking about the same "funny joke" about cows and chickens for like 20 minutes and being stuck on the same slide talking about the same thing for 10 minutes. 90 minutes so drawn out.
If you want to know how to properly do a data stream, look at some old Mat K data streams on the 07 team. He is funny as well as really fast and to the point with his data.
I wish we'd saw more in-depth stats, visually the way it was presented was fantastic and I loved that but to name a few that I'd love to have seen, if they covered any of the below blame me for missing it.
However, seeing some of the Arch stuff was quality love that they released this early which is great to see!
The only problem with fastest kill times now is because ripper demons have been nerfed. (from 100k to 58k).
They added a HUGE boost of damage and really helped with kill times, it's something that they should probably think about resetting times for.
This is the problem with not having as much time to keep up with stuff, I didn't know that I thought the times would be reset due to how much they inflated the kill times, still would love to see it as we could compare to the old times I released.
One thing I also wonder is why they are doing names now and not before? Did they ask players this time or do they now just think it doesn't matter if they give out the name without permission?
Personally, I don't think giving the name out without permission should be a big deal because people that tend to have a high kc/kill time are very known in the community they are accociated in so it isn't some big secret.
I think this was mostly just an arch stream though, with a little bit of slayer. I don't think this was meant to be a big data stream (despite the name). Would like the name and stuff of logs/boss kills/faster times. I think giving out names encourages competition for that moment of envy.
And yes, I did like that visuals myself. I didn't care about the small errors as I didn't even notice them until pointed out as I understand what it's supposed to mean (which is all that matters). I just didn't like when it dragged on too long and I was just like "comon.. just get to the next slide...".

I decided these before and I never asked players and just assumed that if they wanted to shout about their stats they can do so themselves.
That way I don't show their names without permission on the streams, I like the whole idea about keeping them hidden unless they themselves want to shout about them.
