Thank you for your awesome work, I love the new dashboard. Do you have a link that I can go to to directly pull up the new dashboard without having to go to my original dashboard and clicking the popup?
If I understand the question right it should be https://dashboard.twitch.tv :)
Hi! I’m one of the dashboard devs. I wrote a very unofficial guide for how to hack it out for now if you want: https://blog.d8a.me/how-to-get-rid-of-stream-preview-on-creator-dashboard-7ee1746e9635
Happy to chat with anyone who's serious about it.
It definitely varies from team to team. As a Product Manager, my daily schedule is quite intense with a lot of meetings.
My honest opinion is, which I would give about any established company, don't assume you can join the team you want and fix all of the problems. Things that seem easy are sometimes hard and sometimes things that seem hard are easy. Really takes some time to understand what's what at any company.
I hear Poko’s frustration, but I’m not very sympathetic considering I’ve never heard anyone universally love a meta. OWL also sets the meta far less than he would believe.
Personally, I’m frustrated that the playoffs will be a different meta than stage 4, which was a different meta from stage 1-3. Considering most teams earned their playoff spots based on their ability to play GOATS, I don’t feel like the grand finals will say a lot about who the best team is. I wish they didn’t make balance changes during the season. Considering GOATS was starting to evolve in stage 3 I wish they finished the season without 2/2/2.
You know a wonderful way to quickly test pretty big changes? PTR. You know where we wont see any pretty big changes coming for a while? PTR. Really wish they would play around with the PTR a lot more than they do; it was really cool having the moira with the God fade, and I think more big ideas like that would definitely help the state of the game
I am a dev (though not on overwatch)
As a mechanism for testing changes you aren’t wrong. PTR is a great place to make low risk changes to the game. I think the piece you’re underestimating is how to decide what changes need to be made. With changes that have large consequences like 2/2/2, you need to collect data on what’s happening for a period of time to know what’s really working and what isn’t. Changes based on anecdotal evidence doesn’t work and leads to making things worse. PTR isn’t a good place to sample consequences. Scrims aren’t even a great place for that. OWL determines meta less than Poko believes (GOATS wasn’t invented in OWL, remember). It doesn’t reflect the OW community overall and if you overly rely on data there you’ll get nasty surprises later. PTR is usually meant for validating already well tested assumptions.
Some of my favourite moments, in no particular order:
Watching Dragons pop off with triple DPS to win stage 3
Shock vs Titans perfect GOATs
The first time Chengdu blessed us with the church of Ameng.
Five supports pocketing one Rein in comp
OG Triple Tank + Soldier meta
Watching Shock vs Titans in stage 1 and 2 was peak Overwatch for me. That was the definition of a beautiful game.
Still can't believe they lost that.
The greatest trick the spitfire ever pulled was convincing the world they never sandbag
Looks like a file might have gotten deleted. Best path is probably a backup of saved files and reinstall.
Replace this with “money” and a lot of it still applies
Maybe I’m just not on the right parts of the internet but I haven’t seen a single person complain about Black Ariel
I don’t care if this happens, but for the love of God wait until after season 2. If this happens in stage 4 then there won’t be time to devise new strategies. Teams will just fall back on whatever they did in season 1. It’ll go back to dive but lamer because everyone will be rusty.

You found it. ^_^
It is retroactive. You do not need to even have an existing subscription for it to take effect. If you subbed for 6 months back in 2016, and 6 months in 2017, you can sub as soon as this feature goes live and you’ll be at 13 months, or sub now and it’ll be 14 months later when it goes live and you sub again.
I will have more public posting about how it works soon (working on some emails to broadcasters now). But I did tweet about it earlier so, yes it will be retroactive and you don't have to be subscribed to take advantage of it. You'll be able to reactivate and get your tenure back.
I know :).
That being said, please sit tight. We're finishing all the end to end testing to make sure everyone's new sub tenure is accurate when we launch. We will share the launch date as soon as we're sure we've squashed all the bugs.
The team is working it's hardest to make sure it launches as soon as we can!
yeah but in case if you lose your phone its pretty much a torture to contact all of the sites you used 2FA on.
2FA not using your phone is the better way to go when possible. We (at Twitch) just had security training where we covered how people are using social engineering to get phone companies to get your number on a new SIM to bypass the 2 factor on phones. That being said, you have to be a real target for someone to do that. I would imagine the people who are being opportunistic about reused passwords aren't putting in that much effort.
