The Plains of Eidolon is here
Added 2017-11-03 12:26:31 +0000 UTCHi Patrons,
It's been a very crazy few weeks since PoE launched. I was on holiday at first, and then at PAX, and now having spent dozens of hours in the Plains, I feel ready to review the experience as a whole.
It's a mixed bag- it expands the game in a meaningful and valuable way, particularly in the core combat loop and the boss design. But it's impossible not to be overwhelmed by it all- even as a veteran player- and that experience isn't going to fly when your game is the 4th most played game on Steam.
I feel that the fruits of this labor will take many more months to fully realise, and I hope that DE invest that time, rather than move on to the 'next big thing'.
Regardless, it's a great update, and if you haven't yet checked it out, I recommend doing so :)
What's next for Skill Up?
A few weeks back I posted here asking for some advice on where to take things next: long form, in-depth stuff, or remain focused on guides/news? Thanks to everyone who provided feedback to that. I read every response and really valued them.
I've decided I'm going to be going down the path of less, better quality uploads, rather than the regular news/guides that have been the backbone of my channel to this point. I just enjoy making stuff that people appreciate, and if that means I'll grow slower on youtube due to fewer uploads then I'm ok with that. I always want to talk about a broader range of games and topics, and while I know that will disappoint my viewers who are watching me for a specific game, I feel I love this medium too much to limit myself to only a handful of games.
I have some plans for what's next, but most tangibly, you can expect a video from me once a week now, as opposed to 3-5 times per week. They'll generally be on weekends since this is when most people have the time to watch youtube, especially important for me given how long some of my videos are.
This coming week...
I'm playing Wolfenstein! I'm about 4 hours into it and I gotta say- it's something special. Expect a video on it soon.
Thanks again for the support everyone. Will check in again next week :)
