Hi my names Ste I am a mixer streamer by the name of TwistedLimit. I was wondering if a channel one for non partnered streamers could be considered in the future as I believe it would benefit a wider audience then what you currently have with partners also it would strengthen your claim to help new and existing content creators these days I have seen so many content creators between 0 and 7.5k struggle and become disheartened due to the lack of support to non partnered content creators.
I believe that this idea could change the balance to shape new/future content creators with support, encouragement, exposure and the ability to connect with other new content creators so they can help each other to grow in this ever so competitive environment.
Obviously there would be conditions thus streamers would have to meet but all content creators would be considered.
I do hope you take this onboard as it is very real situation that without the support of the brand that promotes its own content creators i would think they would take a little bit of time to consider helping those who need nurturing with the support you can offer as when a new or existing content creator gets hosted, talked to in chat even get noticed by someone it sparks them to be the best they can and encourages them to push hard to seek greater things.

I do this for all of those streamers that have struggled, have had a hard time finding the right people to connect with, need and appreciate any help that is received no matter how small it isi have a post on twitter about this the link is https://twitter.com/TwistedLimited/status/1095618185183805441?s=19
There are many other content creators that feel the same and i hope this does become a thing as it will benefit so many people.

I appreciate your time

So with Season 2 now revealed and the new usage of sparks which only benefit partners, I was thinking about a system for non partnered streamers.

Basically people would use the skills as normal, but instead of a cash payout, non partnered streamers would get a % of the sparks spend from users into their own sparks account.

The reason behind the % instead of the full amount of sparks is because sparks now has a real life $ value.

As I've seen many point out, having sparks set on your Mixplay board or for people in general to use the new skill system in non partnered streams seems like throwing money out of the window since they'd go to no one and not supporting the streamer they choose to use their sparks on.

In light of the new Mixer season 2 ive noticed non-partners feeling out of the loop with benefits of sparks being used in their channel. Ive got a great idea to alleviate that issue and also a cool raid/host idea!

Most non-partners warn their viewers telling them not to use their sparks in their channel as it is of no benefit to anyone and they simply disappear once they are used. That being said, to bring the value of getting sparks used in non-partners channels instead if evaporating into the abyss they should be deposited into the streamers own spark count. Seems simple enough right? Looking into the long term for this idea you get good & bad.

Good:
-Non-partners feel a meaning for sparks
-Incentivizes streamers to network and use their sparks in other channels
-Encourages viewers to use sparks anywhere
-Non-Partner community engagment increases leading to new streamers and new communities

Bad:
-Sparks no longer disappear = higher mixer payouts to partners. This could get out of hand with bots and other forms of spark farming.

Host/Raid

Would love to see a host or raid spark option! The idea is when you go to host another streamer that it gives the option in the host drop-down menu to spark host or spark raid. This triggers an event when you host the streamer similar to the beach ball. The idea is that the event or overlay will pop up and face off the chats vs one another in a raid/defend senario. Chatters can then use their sparks to defend or raid the hosted stremer. Similar to a tug of war contest where sparks are the pulling of the rope. At the end of the event all the sparks used will be given to the stremer in which chat voted for either the hosted streamer or the raided streamer as a form of a prize. Just another way to boost a fun community vs community activity.

Ukraine has a ~40M population, of which, according to the last census, 67,5% consider Ukrainian their mother tongue.

Ukraine has a vibrant gaming community. Ukrainian eSports teams (go NaVi!) are some of the most successful and competitive in the world.

Valve added Ukrainian language option to Steam in 2013 and since then the number of Ukrainian Steam players (and Steam games that have a Ukrainian localization) has been steadily increasing. According to SteamSpy, as of June 2016 there were 3.7M Ukrainian players in Steam. (source: http://steamspy.com/country/UA )

Given the above mentioned arguments, we, the Ukrainian gaming community, ask of you Mixer & Microsoft to add Ukrainian as one of the official languages in Mixer and allow Ukrainian language to be an official broadcasting language.

With kind regards,
Ukrainian gaming community

Hello Mixer and community, I was a little upset with the new Mixer requirement that got released. I have been streaming for almost 2 years and with 11,800 follows and really wanted to be part of the Mixer Partnership Program. So, the new requirement is saying I have to be eight-teen and that will take 5 more years until I can be a partner. Also, I am upset since I feel like I am missing out on all the new things and just not special or good to be a broadcaster. It also took Mixer 17 days for a response for my application to be reviewed and nothing about my review process. Please remove this requirement. Thanks, Owen

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.

The new Season 2 update allows for Mixer partners to be payed out for sparks spent on Skills and MixPlay on their channels, essentially turning sparks into a real money currency.

As a non partnered streamer on Mixer who focuses heavily on my MixPlay board, I now feel guilty about having my buttons cost sparks since it will essentially be like throwing money away.

There should be a feature where starting from the launch of Season 2, any sparks spent on non partnered streams are "banked" and if/when the streamer gets partnered, they would receive a payout based on how many sparks have been spent on their channel during that time.

Even if it's at a reduced rate compared to sparks being spent on current partners (ie: 100k sparks = $10 for current partners and 100k sparks = $5 upon reaching partnership)

This way it doesn't feel like burning money when spending sparks on non partnered channels.

With Microsoft launching Azure Cloud services in both Johannesburg and Cape Town soon, how difficult would it be to set up a Mixer ingest server (or two!) in this region?

There are thousands of Xbox and Win10 gamers in South and Southern Africa, and most of them need to rely on the +100ms pings to London or Amsterdam whenever they try streaming. Sadly, this doesn't work very well. The same is true from a viewer perspective too - poor internet connections make watching a Mixer stream (especially on mobile) a challenge for many.

There's huge potential to grow the Mixer brand in this region, but it's going to need a little help and support from Mixer and Microsoft.
