MQ2 Basics


The idea of developing a series of informative videos started about two years ago.  The frequency of questions over /ooc by newer players was steady at that point in time.  We have a great set of Wiki's at our disposal, but they are comprehensive, and often the complaint was that they didn't want to read a manual for hours to get involved in a game.  Plus, reading is for nerds.

I kicked around the idea for awhile, having developed other video series for other games and guilds, but I was too busy grinding out T2 to be bothered.  Early this year, I decided it was time to give back to the community.  I really like this place and I would like more people to check out EZ and not get scared off by the learning curve.  People seem to really like digital media, and from my own personal experience, I would rather watch a tutorial video than read a PDF or instruction manual.

So far I've developed 5 Videos, with plans to make 3 in the near future, and a dozen or so more as I make my own progression.

Here is my current list of upcoming videos
MQ2 Advanced
Charms
Epic Quest 3.5
Epic Quest 4.0
Epic Quest 4.5
Epic Quest 5.0

It's a great feeling to finally launch this channel and get some feedback, especially constructive criticism.  I've been using my free time to develop these 5 videos for about 4 months now.  It's nice to see them done and released.  If you have any suggestions for future videos, post below so I can develop a plan around it.

I want to be clear that this is for the community and at the disposal of the Admins.   I made this with quality in mind, so if you think something sucks, say it here so I can correct it.  If I made an error, let it be known so I can adjust it.  I have retained all of the raw video and assets so I can make corrections, except for the Epic 2.0 video.  I accidentally saved over the After Effects and Vegas files.  I had been drinking.

I've also been involved in updating maps for Darpey's Wiki.  Most of the maps were originals from live, some hand drawn in colored pencil, most were small in size and weren't really EZ maps.  As I update these maps, if I missed something or you would like to suggest a change, let me know.

Flin is alone with the grimoire. I stab it, no wait I backstab it! You can't backstab it, you can't sneak attack an inanimate object. Why not it's prone? It doesn't have a discernible anatomy. It's got a spine doesn't it? *Rolls a 1 and stabs himself.

Damn, I love this!!

Originally I accepted Akk's offer to make the wiki because I knew that I would get busy at work and play less and have zero time to update the ezguide. I'd hoped that people would jump in and run with it...and they have!! This video guide kicks ass! If I can do anything to help, yell!

Thank you! And a big thank you to Darpey and the guys doing the other wiki!

Thank you all for the kind words.  New videos are up now!

I was able to get the videos to 720p quality.  I uploaded all of them except for the Epic 2.0 video.  That video I can't do much with due to losing my files.  I'm currently trying to optimize its settings so it is more compatible with YouTube, but it will be a 480p video.  If it wasn't 14 minutes long and the most animated video, I would just remake it.  Lessons were learned.

I'll be starting the "Installing and Setup" video on Monday.

One correction: 1.5 epic is JUST Terrorantula, no more Quillmane.
