Encourage viewers and streamers to get more involved with interactive skills like beach ball by offering rewards to the streamer and viewers who participate in them.

Beach Ball is a lot of fun but regardless of whether or not you only get 1 hit or you make it all the way up to 200 the outcome is the same. But if there were rewards for streamers who set high scores and viewers who help them achieve that then Rally Skills would be much more effecting at rallying people together.

I propose rewarding streamers with a spark bonus depending on what score the channel is able to reach and each viewer who participated is awarded sparks depending on how much they contributed. For example; if the beach ball hit count makes it all the way to 200, the streamers gets 250K sparks instead of 200, and each viewer receives 10 sparks for every time they hit the ball.

Rallies are a lot of fun but there is so much potential for how they could evolve and encourage viewers to make the investment of dropping 200K (or more) on 1 skill for streamers and communities they truly appreciate.

be reading. I have been a proud mixer member for over 2 years and I have seen streamers come and go. I have become very good friends with some steamers and I moderate for said streamers. I understand the reasoning behind you stopping spark money payments but the the streamer I moderated for not only loved his job but made a living off of it. With the spark payouts being revoked he can no longer do his dream job or make his audience (who were mostly kids) happy. As I said i understand the reasons behind the change. It means that future up and coming streamers can have their chance but that shouldnt mean that the people that worked hard to get in the place in the first place should face the concequences.

I really hope you take this letter as a plea to not change your system as i think it was great,

Thanks from a happy mixer user, Bubba24278

Hello friends!

First of all, I want to say the roll out of Spark Patronage and Embers have been extremely beneficial to a lot of the content creators on the platform and I wanted to tell you guys you're doing a great job!

Secondly, I had an idea that might incentivize the purchase and use of Embers throughout Mixer. Currently, Mixer has two different types of subscriptions services. One being Mixer Pro and the other being the subscription to specific partners. Mixer Pro gives you a purple name, double xp/spark gain, and access to test some beta features from time to time. Subscribing to a partner directly gives you double xp/spark gain while in their channel (live), and emotes that you can use all across the platform. My idea is that when a user purchases Embers they are given a temporary 'buff' to their account that simply doubles their xp/spark gain for a limited time. This buff WOULD stack with Mixer Pro or partner subscriptions. If you're a regular user you get 2x xp/sparks. If you're a Mixer Pro member you would get 4x xp/sparks and finally if you're subscribed to a partner and in their channel while live you would also get 4x xp/sparks. This buff cannot exceed 4x much like Pro and subs don't stack. We could even make this not work in Channel One because 1. you can't spend embers in channel one and two it would also incentivize people spending time in actual channels.

This can be worked out to something like $1 spent on Embers = 1hr of 2x xp/sparks and can grant bigger bonuses for more money spent. $5 could give you 6hrs. This would not only incentivize people to purchase Embers almost every time they watch on Mixer, it would more than likely increase retention and active chatters in channels.

If anyone has any ideas they could think of to elaborate on this idea, please feel free to do so in the comments below. If Mixer would like to message me directly for any more information or ideas regarding this 'Bonus for Buying Embers' I can be found on the partner discord or Supa#1337 on discord in general. Thanks!

Since Embers have finally been released, I've noticed the lack of "excitement" or "appeal" in their appearance when they're used.

Before the release in their advertising, the use of Embers looked bright, colourful and MORE appealing than regular Spark spent skills and effects.

Instead, we get a custom message in chat with a boring white border, with boring white text accompanied with the beautiful rainbow sticker! Why can't we have the custom message match the stickers and effects in a rainbow border as well? Sparkles or confetti? Literally anything else other than nothing!

Please make the use of Embers look more special and rewarding.

Beam (Mixer) has given partners a number of perks as should happen since I joined. However I don't believe there's been any non-partner perks on Beam (Mixer) aside maybe co-streams and the first official one to be clips. My suggestion is adapting an new but existing framework- Skills. My suggestion is too add trans-coding capabilities, the ability for the streamer to gain pro, and even give the streamer a pro code and a sub code to give away from the use of skills. Tier one would be Trans-Coding 1 month. Two would be trans-coding 2 months. Three- pro for streamer and so on.

My man MegaChopCEO just got approved for partnership tonight, so we are very excited but at the same time noticed that the Narwhals Skill Effect is no longer available. Mega uses that skill effect as a positive, uplifting and healing tool; he would sing the intro to the song except say the "user is awesome' to whoever dropped those sparks. It helps release tension, brings a smile to the regulars faces regardless of how their day went. I know this is something small, but it is affecting his entire community and just does not feel the same. Please consider re-activating this skill, I'm certain that a large amount of his sparks were donated from this skill effect. I know a lot of the younger audience will be saddened that is gone as well.
