That is a good point YinYangX. I think I will stop posting stuff about it here. However, I changed the location of it several times since I was not exactly sure what category my series would fall under. I hope the moderators can forgive it on that basis and note I will cease posting more about it on the forum. After all, it is here, people can find it... I hope. XD
If you want people to see the original post, just go comment on it with "bump" and it'll move to the top of the list without you having to create another thread.
So here's my take on your videos (after watching the ones up to CHT). Take it how you will (or don't take it at all, xd). Most of what I'm going to say is going to be negative stuff, not saying I could do better, just saying what I felt as a viewer watching the videos.
1. Lag, not sure if it was the game or your internet, but trying to do gaming videos with lag is rarely a good idea.
2. Video titles. Episode 8 says "Crafter" but you did no crafting. It should have been something like "Miner" or "Farmer/Grinder" (killing mobs).
3. Video lengths. Episode 2 = 40 min, Episode 8 = 8 mins, way too varied.
4. Randomly flashing stats ui in the middle of video for reason (especially if viewer can notice stats change and has to pause and rewind to see it).
5. Interaction with other players. Cringed at when other people were talking and it broke up what you were typing, when buddy said no to partying for Arcane, when you started talking to the buddy in Sleepywood for what seemed like no reason to viewers, and when you ended that one video after trying to trade an afk player in Kerning.
6. Bossing order. You did the bosses at random order instead of like progression of difficulty or something, which makes little sense to me. You take 20 some minutes on PB and then run through like 4 bosses in half the time in the next episode. I mean like if you just defeated the harder boss, what's thrill/excitement does the viewers get /challenge with Pensalir of fighting an easier boss.
7. Typing. *cringe* Maybe I'm just a fast typer or it's the lag, but the time you took to type some stuff was boring/painful, especially since you went and clicked with the mouse instead of using the enter key shortcut.
8. Along with type time, typing content was semi-annoying (anything and almost everything). It was like you were just saying whatever random thought came into your head. While it might seem normal for people who might know you, as someone who doesn't personally know you, it was kind of off putting for me, especially on that one part where you almost got killed in the Arcane video.
9. Game knowledge. Your PB and Pierre boss runs makes it painfully obvious that you don't fully know what you're doing.
a.Missed the Chaos Marble the first time you tried to get in. Don't understand how to get around Huigin's (left bird statue) DR.
b. Pierre only heals if you have the same hat as he does, doesn't matter if it's blue or purple {you can double check on your video at 19:23 when he has blue hat and
you hit him, no regen, but at 20:41 he regens cause you both have the same hat.
c. Looked like you got semi-lost in Gollux Maze {went down instead of up}.
d. You said you can't do anything about the Arcane force you already have, showing that you don't know about how you can unequip them.
e. Scrolling the wrong way on quest list and using up more time.
f. Not sure if it was lag, but when you tried to drop that recipe in Ranmaru and failed (pretty sure you just didn't drag it out to the drop range).
10. Planning and editing, or the lack there of. Last video, you literally had 2 mins of the screen just frozen. I know you already said the videos are "premade" but from the viewer's pov (or at least mine), it literally just looked like all you did was click "Record" and "Stop Record" at what ever random points you felt like it with very minimal plans on how and where the video should go and no care about how the end product would look like.
Welp, that's my take on your "Journey" so far. Read it, ignore it, debate it, I don't really mind.
I'll say I'm mildly interested, mainly because I'm running a NW with Pensalir (have enough money for CRA set, but stubbornly saying I won't get until I can solo CRA bosses without, xd, let's see how long I last; been like that way back before NW even could reach 200).
Going to check out your channel, but here's some thoughts:
1. I know you say "Pensalir set" but what other equips? (Standard: superior gollux, tyrant, etc?)
2. Looks like you're mainly doing bossing videos. Haven't looked at each one closely, but wouldn't they just be like normal boss runs that take a bit more time? Doesn't really seem like an attention getter, imo.
3. Maybe an interesting idea would be instead of just pure Pensalir, you work your way up from Pensalir to better armor from solo-boss drops instead of buying
[Example: Pensalir -> Empress Set -> SW -> CRA (or whatever the order is)]
4. Or the other option is see how good of potentials you can get from mob drops without cubing (but again, that'd nerf damage a lot).
Remaking this thread because some admin decided to merge it with the Eluna time problem thread, no idea why
[TO FORUM ADMINS, PLEASE DON'T MERGE THIS WITH THE THREAD WHERE PPL ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE ELUNA EVENT TIME CAUSE THIS IS SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT, F3/F7]
Not sure if I should be posting in guide but let's put together questions and answers about Eluna?
Questions:
1. When the message for the Elemental pops up, how can you tell which map it's on? (the npc says it's often seen in two places)
2. Is the Elemental possible to solo in less than 30secs/1min (I run around frantically whenever the message pops up but I've only seen it once)
3. How to find the blue bite-ing monsters? (need for quest)
4. There's an "uncharted region" near the south side, any idea how to get in?
5. Any idea how to go about the "ancient Elunian' quest line thing? (the one that starts with the rune carved elunium)
6. Do the sign posts actually mean anything?
7. What's the best way you've seen to rack up prospect points?
8. For the quest where you're suppose to put up signs, why are some signs not counted (right now, the first sign I put up after leaving the town never gets counted)?
9. Does drop rate affect Elunite Crystal drop/rarity?
Feel free to post answers/questions/comments.
Thanks all.
Answers:
1. Elemental spawns at Elemental Domain and The Danger Zone (according to npc, so far have only seen it at Elemental Domain)
2. Semi-yes, if you're wondering why you can never find an Elemental even when the game chat announces it, it's because ppl 100-0 it in like less than 30secs, so unless you're on the map it spawns, no luck.
4. Uncharted regions are granted access with the Eluna Ancestor quests. (quests are currently very buggy)
5. When you get the camera quest, it tells you to find a hidden portal in a certain map (in quest log), go there and you should be able to take a picture of something.
6. So far to my knowledge, they aren't actually any real warning because ppl can put up random signs on random maps (someone correct if this is wrong)
7. Stay on one map and farm.
8. Location on where to put signs are listed in the quest description (someone please verify this?).
