And second of all, as Karianna mentioned "this is the Tothmonra podcast" so it really his his way and his podcast, the rest of us can not attend if we dont wish to, but the door is open and a stool at the hearth.
I think there has been some good topics, with relevant guests on fitting topics in the past, and there has been a multitude of players from diffrent playstyles, approches, guilds and skilllevels.Scottx125 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2024 10:04 pm And again, lack of community engagement. It's no good going on the forums and saying "If you want to join just ask" because there's no direct incentive to want to join unless you just want to blurt your opinion out. Same with any talkshow they don't ask people to come on and leave an open door, they reach out to people who might have an understanding about certain topics. For example, Tosh could put out a vote asking what people would like to have discussed in the next podcast as it's main topic; then put out the selected topic, the offer for anyone interested in talking on the topic to join and also reach out to notable members of the community to weigh in.
That being said, it might be worth mentioning that podcasts are often made to set eachother up with leading questions into a current topic, or a synergy between host and co-hosts and/or guests. And with some degree of structure or script.
What we did on the Real(m) Talk podcast over on Fixxers channel some years back, was I made a script Fixxer would host and naviage through the topics and then we would cover RoR news, between an approach of one co-host covering from Order Warband guild point of view, an other from Destro guild point of view, and fixxer controling a debate or chipping in with some scenario experience.
Having an open invitation and a few times having good topics but no relevant guests or no experience on the set, leads to abit much guesswork in the topics and is personally something that made me lose interest abit. I think the idea behind is fantastic, and RoR deserves the Tothmonra podcast but i the community as a whole doesnt embrace the open invitation maybe its time to revisit the setup(?)
A concrete example from this video (only watched 15mins) where the placeholder host asks about the prizes for the 6v6 tourny, and despite being informed still continues to adress the CM guest with "you guys doing this" when it has been estabilised several times that it's community hosted, driven and dev supported, but not funded. Takes away from the topic and good news, just as random movie clips and keybordturning pvp (though this might 100% be a Me-issue
)Toth's podcast so he might have opted to navigate around this, but having this new CM on after the allogations floating around in the community about him recording a private call with Gravord, could also easily have been dismissed and shot down now that the interview was happening but maybe people dont care about getting this cleared up, because that seems like a massive allegation cloud.
