People from our other team who would visit to have some fun enjoying our raids while they weren’t raiding. At first I had only a handful of viewers and most of them were from Solstice. Also using OBS allowed me to lighten the burden on my HDD and CPU. In August 2013 I started on Twitch with the idea of having my recordings saved for me online. My PC hardware was powerful back then, but quite weaker compared to what I have now (thanks to the fantastic support I receive from Patreon pledges, Stream Tips, YouTube revenue, my website)… I’m afraid I may have started digging another hole here and crossing to a different subject a little bit. We all know how FRAPS works (it records raw video files with no compression and taxes the CPU seriously) and combining this with the SWTOR’s excuse of an engine, you can imagine what the result was in reality. Using FRAPS proved an expensive solution as I was facing 2 major issues: running out of HDD space if I wanted to keep some of these archives and a severe FPS punishment while raiding and recording. Things many semi-hardcore (because in 2013 I still was one) and hardcore raiders often do.
