[EMS, YT] What happened to the High-Dex Hero series?

One of the tests for trying out new High-Dex Hero
possibilities. This is not a video that will be released.

Hi guys! As you probably may have noticed, there hasn't been any new High-Dex Hero since 12th of January 2014.

I really apologize (again) for having these video series "dry out", however don't forget that I haven't forgotten these series. Past few weeks have been quite busy for me because of school, but for this case it isn't the main issue or argument why these series have been delayed (again). However, having no new High-Dex Hero videos for a while, doesn't have to mean the progress of these videos has been stopped.

I've been testing out and considering various possible "match ups", and I actually have some ideas that may work. There are some test videos not available to public. I've been planning out some (possible) videos, as I usually do for all of my videos on our Youtube. What's the hold up?

Considering I have some ideas that may work, they are not easy to come up with. In MapleStory, there are many various "layers" of difficulty, where the gaps between those layers are rather large. Second job and third job bosses are somewhat alike, although the third job ones are slightly stronger (damage-wise as well in possible status effects). However, on fourth job advancement the gap will be significant larger. Even in fourth job, there are many layers to consider. To give some examples, look on the image below.

These are the "layers" for me to consider - A quick self-perspective of the current gaps between bosses.

You can see a rough sketch of the progress on the image above. Currently I'm between what I consider "Well funded" and "Highly funded". "Well funded" bosses become too easy for me; it's not very interesting to see not-so-challenging boss fights that only take a few minutes. "Highly funded" bosses are too strong for me, it's not possible to solo these yet. This gap is quite large. However, there are some bosses from the "Well funded" I haven't beaten yet and can be considered to give some decent viewing time, so don't worry, I may be doing these later.

So this is currently what I am struggling with. It'll take some time before I actually reach the "Highly funded" group. One minor issue that also caused delays is that Power Stance for the class Hero has been bugged prior to the RED patch. I'll wait until that is fixed until my next video comes.

That's it for today's post. I hope I'm able to release a new High-Dex Hero soon enough.
Until next post!

[YT] Mario Party 7 - All Mini-Games has reached 2.000.000 views!

Hi guys! Currently our most viewed video, Mario Party 7 - All Mini-Games, has reached 2.000.000 views today!

Mario Party 7 - All Mini-Games, was originally intended to be the first video on Youtube, which would showcase all the mini-games from the game Mario Party 7 in a single video, a similar concept used in some other videos from Rayque since 2012. It has been uploaded on 24th of March in 2013 and had it's strong growth starting from April 2013.

The lifetime view statistics from the video, starting from the date of upload.

Its best viewed day has been on the 23th of December in 2013, with an amazing 16.432 views in a single day. To date this video has been rather stable, with still a decent and (and for Rayque3 statistic standards) actually impressive six-thousand to eight-thousand views a day.

On lifetime basis, Mario Party 7 - All Mini-Games has been viewed the largest in the United States (roughly 20% of all accumulated views), followed by Japan (8,5%), Mexico (4,3%), United Kingdom (4,2%) and France (3,8%). Interestingly, The Netherlands, homeland of the Rayque3 Staff, is on place 13 with a small 2,5% of all accumulated views.

That's it for today - Thank you all for all the amazing support, in behave of Rayque (me) and Luxatus Patella. Until next post!

[EMS, Drawing] The world of Rayque

My almost seven years in MapleStory Europe on my character "Rayque", filled on a single paper.
The image portrays two different lifestyles in the game. On the left side my social hood is shown with some important people (not all) I met in the game. On the right side my combat hood is shown with various (not all) enemies in the game who had an importance in those seven years; including enemies from my High-Dex Hero series on Youtube.

I wasn't able to fit all the things I wanted, this would rather be impossible on paper. Almost seven years is long. Take a few hundreds of people and massive amounts of in-game content in consideration.

Layout/idea inspired by comic books, drawn on an A3 paper with only a single black pen. It took three hours to draw everything on paper.

[Lego] I just got this Mint In Sealed Box 7787...

 

... However I have to wait opening it for a few months for my birthday.
