Both your videos are quite good, even if i don't like every single advice you give.

Most other tutorials would've been at least three times as long without providing any additional, valid information.
Thumbs up!

Thanks man, I put a lot of time into it so I appreciate the feedback. I'm working on some other guides right now as well so stay tuned and subscribe.

I the desire to put out content to help players, but the titles of your videos irk the heck outta me

If I'm being constructive with my criticism, I would say that instead of using the term "Top 10", you should perhaps say, "10 tips new players will find useful", or something along those lines.

I understand you want to keep the title short, but it should still be correct while being concise. What you might perceive as the top 10 reasons to do anything, might not even be on someone else's radar, and vice versa.

(Sorry!) more feedback, I'll try to do this in point form to make it less painful hehe

- try and compile similar answers (like your bank everything & make mules to carry your crap), into a single factoid.

- do research before offering advice. Like your tip about research, it would've been very useful to mention that research timers GET LONG the more things you research. So it's better to do the more popular traits first, like infused, divines, etc. Save stuff like reinforced for last.

- try not to make broad statements. like your tip about not trying to 100% every map as you move through the game. This might have been true back when the game originally launched, but it's not so much an issue anymore. With add ons, it's extremely simple to hit up every dolmen, dungeon, boss and get your quest and any other achievements for the area as you move across the map. What would've been better to say is to create clear goals for yourself, this way you don't feel overwhelmed and it gives you a sense of accomplishment as you progress through the game.

- When you give tips, try and remember who your audience is. To use your research / deconstruct tip again as an example, It would be nice to tell new or inexperienced players that they don't need to learn crafting every character they make, that not all of their characters need to deconstruct items, etc. Sure, things like alchemy and cooking are useful for the duration bonuses to food & drink, but that's about as far as it goes.

- Your tip about bag space is terrible. I'm sorry, but I flat out disagree. People should raise the speed on their mounts first, then you can go bag space, then stamina. It's best to buy the first 3 or 4 upgrades on your personal inventory, it's only around 15k or so if memory serves to get you to 100-110ish slots. Then you most definitely want to start buying bank space. Money is extremely easy to make in this game, I'm not sure why you are broke, but I've always had tons to burn. In fact, besides buying crafting mats, there is nothing in this game to spend gold on besides bag space pretty much at least until you get to max level and start to buy gold items

Again, sorry if I sound rude. I'm not trying to be, I just feel if you are going to make a video to help new players, you should have all the facts and the title should reflect the contents. I hope you continue to make content and it only gets better as you go

Cheers.

Thanks man for the feedback. I will definetely take them into consideration when i make the next video! As for the mount thing, I really dont mind the speed that its at right now. A mount for me in this game is not only a way to get from point A to point B faster, but it's mainly so you don't use your stamina doing so. I realize that I could have talked more about some of the tips, but I wanted to keep it short and to the point. Again, thanks for the feedback man, I am not allergic to constructive criticism.

For an experienced player, these tipps are nothing new. But they are excellent for new players - especially on the Welcome Back Weekend.
Have shared it on my sites.
