Keep up the GREAT work here on the channel man. Seriously, I already feel you're one of the very best CCs in the RAID scene -- only up from here. Was my pleasure chatting with you!
I thought the positivity was cringe at first but once I saw it was genuine it matters every time I hear it, but then I dont have friends or family at this challenging time so maybe thats parasocial af lol, but either way the effect somewhere out there is positive which moves on and on
20:20 On the topic of "hateful" comments. I've had multiple people telling me to "unalive" myself for simply expressing my unpopular opinions. You just have to accept that some people won't agree with you, or like you for whatever reason.. some times no reason. Most important thing is to keep doing what you enjoy.
Literally 2 minutes into the video and just wanted to comment that I love how excited and passionate Colred is about interviewing the other CCs. You can tell he enjoys it on a personal level and that he finds it fun, so refreshing to see.
Lol, thanks! I do really enjoy these interactions. Being a CC can be pretty insular. It's refreshing to get to talk to another CC, get their take on the life and the job, and just have a two-way conversation instead of doing yet another monologue. Also, I'm just an Ash fan. I think his channel is really fun and positive, and I appreciate in a way beyond just the professional. So yeah, this was super fun for me. Thanks for the comment!
Two of my favorite content creators, love love this collab! Sincere thank you for the insight and conversation. At the end of the day, gaming gives us common ground. Positivity and education is why I watch both of you.
Yes! I agree. We're all here to learn and it's even more enjoyable when the content is also positive and entertaining. Ash and I have different styles, for sure, but we both believe in that idea, and I think it shows in our content (or I hope it does).
Ash has always seemed to be a good dude. He's a big CC who puts newer / smaller CCs on and brings new eyes 👀 to everyone. It's good to see people helping others.
I agree. I've always enjoyed his channel because he seems so committed to bringing positive outcomes to the world. He was exactly that same guy behind the scenes as well.
Ash has actually helped me through some hard times with just watching his videos. I commented on his video a few Xmas seasons ago when I wasn't able to go home and see my family (Xmas is a very hard time for me as my fiancée died in a car crash close to Xmas) and his positivity and nice comment to my comment helped me a lot in a dark time. I really appreciate him as a human being even though I have never met him.
That's a touching story. I think someone who has suffered a personal tragedy sometimes changes because of that experience, becoming a person who willingly offers comfort to others who are suffering in similar ways. I don't know Ash well, but I believe he is probably an example of this kind of person. His concern for others certainly seems a genuine and central facet of his personality. I'm glad that he was able to help you when you needed it. It's an excellent reminder to all of us, but especially content creators, that our small contributions to the world can still have a significant impact in the lives of others. Thank you for sharing. 🙏
Yeah, it was really nice to see that he had specific knowledge of my videos - he gave me lots of great feedback when we weren't recording. Really cool.
Ash is such a likeable guy, I'm still new to raid, only played 50 days, but his content is really up there, and I really liked this colab, thanks for the good content, keep it up man!
Thank you! And I agree - I always enjoyed Ash's content. Now that I've met with him and we've worked together, I've got to say - that's really who he is. Maybe he's not at full speed all day the way he is in the video, but that persona isn't a persona. He's just genuinely that guy. This collab was so much fun for me. I can't wait to do another one. 👍
I wanted to comment on Colred’s question about if Ash regrets starting every video with a positive comment or if he has thought of not doing it. I personally have often had days where I really needed that message and went to look for one of Ash’s videos. That message has made a difference for me a number of time. Thank you Ash.
Well said! And I have done the same. Sometimes I see an Ash video pop up in my feed and I just think to myself, "Yup. That's what I need right now." I rarely feel that way about any other CC.
Amazing interview! Thanks a lot to both of you. Doing Raid content for 10 months now I absolutely felt everything you said and thanks a lot for speaking out especially about the topic of people simply being mean. I am so happy besides a few rare occasion receive a lot of positive feedback, but it certainly becomes more and more with a channel growing. Please stay the way you are and continue doing Raid content.
Love this colab two positive and intelligent souls... To have a serious and deep conversation is excellent 👍 also ash man we love you I saw you a bit down when talking about negative comments regarding family and remember that the majority disagree with those people who are spiteful and nasty ❤
Thank you! I enjoy having these conversations and just seeing another, maybe more human, side to the CCs I've watched for so long. This was one of my favorite conversations with another CC yet.
Every once in a while, someone in my comments compliments me while taking a shot at another CC. And I get it - I don't like every CC's style or approach either. But I always try to defend CCs, even ones I don't know, because I DO know how hard the job is. It's scary to put yourself out there in such an exposed manner, and it's difficult to produce new, informative, or entertaining content on a near daily basis. Because he's so visible, Ash takes more shots than most, and I really wish that weren't the case. I found him to be a completely genuine, thoughtful, and kind-hearted guy. I would love it if my interview of him made those few viewers reassess how they look at Ash, and maybe, just maybe, see a little of what the rest of us appreciate about him and his content.
@@ColredPlaysRSL unfortunately as humans we have faults some we can change or improve. But personal attack or judgments of others with little to information is moral corruption and harder to change. Ash can make videos without donating and get the same views, but he does and I am thankful he does, why should I care about his motives 1 reason only is to give myself an excuse why I don't give to charity. Regarding content a series of 10 parts on what plarium should be improving how and why. Or another series that is about new content for raid lol I am sure you thought about these and much much more Good luck sir and thank you
Two of my favorites creators together, absolute gold. Really enjoyed the convo, the gift and the curse that the internet is can be cruel sometimes because it allows some cowards to be on their worst behavior from the safety of their keyboard. There is a reason I enjoy both of you guys contents, you both try to keep a positive outlook on things in game or life but also address things when they need to be addressed… congrats on the collab Colred, Ash’s videos helped me when I first started watching content and his champions guide channel is my go to when I pull a new champ ❤
Thank you! This collab was really fun for me. Like you, I often watch Ash's channel. I may have watched more Ash videos than any other CC's for the first 2 years of my time in RAID. Currently, I probably watch HH more than anyone else, but I still try to catch 1-2 Ash vids a week, at least.
I would LOVE to see a Colred history events channel or something. like educational but fun. Something similar to what the channel Into The Shadows(and his other channels) do. I think you would be great at it. Heck in all honesty, I could listen to you just reading a book or short stories. And @ash-RAID your positive affirmations at the start of every video have had a huge affect on me. As someone who struggles with mental health, I like to stay current with Raid stuff and it gets hard sometimes with plariums greed, but I know I can always start with ASH's daily video and always be reminded to be grateful, thankful, and look for a positive. And it always helps with that first step out of the current hole. Thank you for ALWAYS doing that.
Thank you! I appreciate the support. Maybe I could do an audio-book style channel. I think I'd enjoy that. And I agree with you - Ash's positivity is just plain valuable. I hope he never changes that part of his approach to content creation.
No way this video is longer than 40 minutes wow never a dull moment! Ash is such a gem to the community and as a person. Honestly i stereotyped him too as only entertaining, and when he addressed that and state his planning and work with OddOne gaming to create better more creative videos i really respect him. Great idea to interview and get to know him more man. Appreciate your content as always!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. The time flew by for me as well. I said it near the end of the video, but I could have talked to Ash all day. He actually extended our time by like 30 minutes so we could have a more in-depth conversation. Very cool.
I like Ash's tip at the end about finding your own "edge". I have been playing Raid 24/7 since end of 2019 & I am just not very good at the game. But I am now running 22 accounts so I can solo siege content & I imagine very few others are free to play solo siege players!
I agree I believe everyone has their own personal pains they’re going through and sometimes faceless rants on the internet can let people vent some pain. So always take it with a grain of salt because most people are good and if met in person would be cool as a cucumber. Awesome conversation I enjoyed greatly and Ash is a cool dude. Colred great video.
Thank you! I do try to remember that. I never know what's going on in a commentor's life when they hit me with something harsh. On the flip side, they have no idea what I might be going through. So I think to drop a mean comment and walk away is still a really crappy thing to do. But we shake it off and move on as best we can. Ultimately, I've got too many good things going on in my life, and too much work to do, to get bogged down in someone else's negativity. Thanks for the comment!
Ash and you I had watched in passing when I was new into the game. Colred, your roadmap of content priority within Raid from early to late-end region of progression was very enlightening and simplified my approach into such a vast game. Ash, his videos of champion guides had helped me with my summoning journey. Especially when I was picking up more epics, taking place of the rares I was becoming familiar with.
Great video and a wonderful change of pace for the channel. I have really been enjoying your channel lately even though I rarely comment on any channel. Keep up the good work and keep being an amazing dad and thanks to Ash for always keeping it real, healthy, and positive. Great job!
Thank you! Yes, this collab was a big one. Feels like a milestone for the channel. Now I'm just waiting for Ash to drop his half of the collab on his channel tomorrow. That's going to be exciting too!
You are a big part of why I'm still playing Raid. I like how structured you are. Since you asked, I would like you to do a collaboration again. What about Big Papa Rock? Ash seems to love his vibe. Also, Boozer seems shy, but if you send him the questions ahead of time, I think he would make a great collaboration.
Thank you! That's a very nice compliment. I've done a collab with Drock, and I've recently thought about reaching out to him to do another. I really love his energy as well. As for Boozor...well, wait and see...
Thank you Colred for this video. One of your best! Love Ash and how positive he is. You did a great job interviewing him, well done. I'm so happy to be in your cluster following your awesome work 😊
Thank you! I appreciate the kind words. And we're very happy to have you in our cluster as well. Positive people make for great communities, and great communities make for fun gaming.
love both you guys, you've both contributed to my account more than you'll know and I'm sorry the internet is toxic but you guys are great. keep up the great work!!!
Awesome! I hope the gardening was soothing and successful. The back is medium. It's improved some, but now I'm stuck in this kind of middle ground. Not good, not awful, not improving any more. I need to follow up with my doc again. I appreciate your concern. Thank you.
What an amazing video! I always look forward to your content and Ash's on the daily, I feel you both bring amazing content from totally different perspectives, and I just really enjoy that. Thanks for doing this video, and keep pushing that envelope!
Great video! I really appreciate Ash a lot and everything he's doing and Colred is my favorite up and coming CC! Looking forward to more of your collabs guys!
Thank you! I always appreciate the views and likes, of course, but a special thank you for the comment this time around. I hope to hear from you again in the future.🫡
Love this vid. You 2 are a couple of my fave CCs for Raid. Really love Ash’s positive vibes and real chat as well as solid game advice and Colred you are super informative and helpful from a F2P perspective and you have your own positive energy that is super appreciated! Keep goin gents
I haven't been great about pursuing collabs for the past 6 months. Life with a baby just took most of my attention. I'm hoping to change that in the upcoming weeks and months.
As a new player, your channels are very helpful. Even though I still only understand a fraction of what is going on. But I feel some of the gaps already closing. So thank you both for doing this.
Thank you! I know there's a language curve for new players. I do try to consider that in my delivery, but after 3.5 years of talking about RAID, it can be difficult to turn down the jargon unless I'm really consciously trying. I hope you keep finding the videos helpful anyway!
@@ColredPlaysRSL Totally! Thus far your videos have been the most approachable at the very start. When starting a new game, especially one as complex as Raid, it always takes a while to get used to the ins and outs. My previous gaming journey was rooted in entirely different genres, so it' only normal that there would be a phase of adjustment. And thx to channels like yours, I instantly had fun with it and I'm learning something everyday.
Great collab, and yes these behind the curtains look into a CC's journey are what the community needs to see too, so they/we can see the truth in what it really takes to get to where you are. The myths that arise from personal thoughts expressed by those who have an idea without any substance that also take root needs to be swept away, and there is no better way to do that than making vids like these imo. I would like to see you do a collab with some of the up and commers like yourself, that are just a little further back in their rise than yourself even. Aroneous comes to mind who I found because I was looking for something a bit different about a year ago where I discovered you and Boozor, and also came across his "common and uncommon" series. I thought it was bonkers good and I think I'm it's only fan lol but that's how I discovered him. He hasn't done a vid in that series for at least 5 months now unfortunately. Like you, he is a newish father, his is probably over a year old now, so he may be able to give some tips on how to juggle a new family with creating content, or not lol. He is a f2p end game player that mainly does arena vids now but he is an interesting CC. I would like to see you do all of them at some point, big and small. I also think you should try to go on Blazin's Knights of Talaria (KoT) podcast/stream on a Sunday sometime as I think your take on the discussion/s of the week would be valuable. He is always open for any CC to message him and ask to go on as he says it's open for all CC's to come on every week. Last week, he had mrbarritoslayer as a guest another CC that I watch and I think you could collab with too now that I think of it.
Thanks, Dharin! I've talked to Blazin about the Sunday stream. Unfortunately, that time is reserved for the family right now. But that may change in the future. I think the Arroneous idea would be fun. My clan actually faced his in siege a month ago. I think he's a little more advanced than I am, but we pulled out the victory. I will see if he's interested. Thanks for the comment!
@@ColredPlaysRSL Yeah, I know we won. I was there! lol. I wanted to have a go at him but Sanjo had the better team, so I handed first shot to him and he won. I took out the second from last team and the last mana shrine team, before tanking 3 so we could stay low in our tier. baby brain has got you good if you can't remember that the noisiest person in your streams is in it 🤣🤣
On the privacy issue thing.... I was just talking about this on a discord I am part of... how I was browsing a friend's vacation post on Facebook the other day, and I happened to notice a familiar face in the 'People You May Know' section... and half he Fateless main staff were there. Their personal accounts, suggested to me, which are full of their friends and family.... Stuff like that weirds me out. I don't think I would want to be in a position where social media was advertising my personal life to people on the internet that it had tagged were using the same website I was, or in the same physical location I might be in. As a guy who was in university at the dawn of the internet, I had my concerns about it over the decades, but it's gone far past what I am comfortable with much of the time. I get very defensive and even cold when people inquire about my personal information, and I am often commenting to people I see that I think may not grasp the ramifications of something they just shared with the public. I have one reaction channel where I am part of heir discord, and the dude lives in Florida, and was showing people the prep on his house to get ready for the hurricanes in previous weeks... and I messaged him privately, because dude didn't cover up his house number in his photos, and he had been quite open publicly about which city/town he lived in. I was worried for his safety, and the safety of his family. It's great that content creators share personal details.... personal details is what connects us more that just to strangers. It's how we get to know people as friends... but on the internet it just has this dark side, that everything you share, can be used to nefariously as well. It's hard, because as much as I ant to leave social media and the internet... it's just become so much a staple of our lives, our entertainment, and our commerce, that it makes it almost impossible to leave. Finding the balance of 'how much is too much to share' is one of he most important questions users can ask themselves.
Agreed. Privacy in a social media world takes vigilance. And if you're a public figure - like a content creator - it takes even more determination and intention than for most people. When I started this CC journey, my wife and I made an agreement - no full names, limited location details, and no pictures or video of our son. Now, some of that information is bound to leak out over the years, but we're still going to try to guard it as much as possible. I think that's only prudent. At the same time, others may feel differently, and there's no saying who's right. I just know that having at least some small bubble of privacy makes me feel more comfortable.
@@ColredPlaysRSL I caught the second half first so it definitely helped make this one more enjoyable because it was just the two of you talking about your lives and how you manage creating and living, and managing that slippery ballance of Real Life and Gaming/Content Creation. So it was very entertaining and very positive! ❤️
Dope interview. I just learned about your channel from Ashes, I'm a FTP player, loved your tips over there, & loved your interview here. You guys are both awesome, keep doin it & I'll keep watching it 😁 tyvm
I love his editing too. It adds so much. Sun and I talked about borrowing some of his style early on in our channel's life. We decided that, no matter how much fun it is, it wouldn't suit our style. Plus, we'd never do it as good as Ash. So we went our own way instead. I think that was a good choice, but I still chuckle at all Ash's outtakes every time.
Thank you! I'm a big fan of Ash too. It was great to meet him and have a cool discussion about life and gaming. I look forward to doing another collab with him in the future.
Great Colab, do not worry about not talking about the game per se. Both of you are persons, and both of you are infinitely more important than any video game. I like knowing about who is Ash and Colred. Keep up the good work, do not neglect family and last but not least do not forget about God.
Thank you! I appreciate the positivity in your reply. And I agree - we all win from these kinds of videos. That's one of the reasons I find them so much fun to make.
Ash I love how you are always positive also. With so much negativity in the world it's nice to know you will always have a something positive. One reason why I watch almost every video even on champions and things I don't have or use yet. Thanks colored and ash for great content very helpful from a ftp
You are welcome! And I agree - I love how positive Ash always is. I'm not as high energy on my channel, but I try to bring some of that positivity as well. Like Ask said, there's more than enough negativity out there.
Excellent vid as always...and brilliant having Ash on with you 🎉. Where is the other vid that you mentioned from Ash and yourself about F2P? I can't find it on Ash's channel
I'm very low spender. I have a couple of accounts going. I love playing daily. Yes, I struggle to get good artifacts. But I love watching both of you guys channels. Y'all mentioned about quitting if you are starting to dislike the game, I'd just stop for a while then get back to it.
The answer for ash's question (if his opening is losing its effectiveness from saying it everyday ) is NO everytime he says it it just sounds like the first time and it helps
Colred, What about reaching out to Simon? Hell Hades? He might be too busy to throw down for a 2 hour process, who knows? Another interview I'd like to hear from is JGigs. I'm interested why he went over to Australia. I guess from New York City. I think Simon (Hell Hades) is in the UK. I guess he's also involved in the godforge thing, and lots of RSL optimizer things. You might have already done collaborations with either or both of these people before. The interview with Ash was interesting.
I've done collabs with both! I definitely want to hook up with them again soon, but if you're interested in those collabs, just do a quick search on my YT main page. I enjoyed both. Thanks for the comment!
@@ColredPlaysRSL and your video of amius was the reason why I beat it first time...like all you videos where you give tips how beat raid content that's is so gold
Great vid and remember to always be true to yourself because there will always be people who cannot separate your persona from fiction and ofc there is a small % of humanity that is genuinely just nasty and should not be given a second of your time, work, family or emotions. I am so old that I have stopped worrying about what everyone else thinks is wrong with me I already have family and friends that I known for 50 years that is qualified to tell me when I am wrong or not and I listen to them not some stranger that woken up and munched on a bag of bitter almonds. Just a waste of time trying to please those people, constructive criticism YES, pure hate NO thanks.
Thank you! And I appreciate the sentiment. Constructive criticism can help use grow. Destructive criticism is meant to hold us down so someone else can feel superior. Accept the first, reject the latter, and life becomes much, much better.
Unfortunately, that's very true. I've become very conscious of my own comments on videos since becoming a CC. I had always tried to be polite, but now I really consider carefully before commenting anything that could be construed as criticism. Is it helpful? Is it even necessary? I usually default to a "good job! I liked THIS part the most!" kind of comment these days.
Love ash how I learnt how to play but I also enjoy your channel now colred I agree with ash how you simplify things is awesome and you have my respect on how you play ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@ColredPlaysRSL weekdays funny is that I've been playing for while, and there's sometimes I can't get that game. But yes little by little, I'll get there.
line the good vibes from Ash but he can overdo it to the point where it feels forced or fake showing his negativity on the mysticals is a good example of showing his true feelings
I think the positivity is great! I also think it's genuine. But yes, all of us CC are performative at times - it's part of the job. And viewers should watch who they like, or who they feel like watching in the moment. That's why it's so great to have so many different, good CCs in the RAID sphere. There's always a CC to suit your mood. Thanks for the comment!
I think everyone, even though they enjoy the entire game (more or less - otherwise, why would they be playing?), has one specific thing they enjoy doing in the game above all others... For some it's classic features of the game, like Arena PvP, or figuring out the best Hydra strats... and for others it's the 'not-so-usual' things in the game they enjoy, like only doing the Fusions, even though they may not need, or plan to build, the Fusion champ, etc etc. I know I will never be end game. I will never be top tier. I am fine with that. Being end game an top tier is freaking exhausting. I ill play Hydra to the extent that I build a team that gets me top chest in Normal and Hard, but I will never micromanage the construction of a team that has all the specific stats and speeds to turn out 1 Billion damage. I have no patience for that crap. I won't even manual a run. If it's not auto, I can't be bothered. Even my main Clan Boss team, is a brute force team of Force, Magic, and Spirit champs that uses no cheese, and is meant to turn out the same damage no matter what affinity it I am fighting. I run a clan where the only requirement is to use a couple of CB keys daily on NM or UNM, everything else is optional, but welcomed if they participate. With that said, for me, I play a little game... whenever I pull a rare 6 star soul... that becomes my next champ to max. No matter which one it is. When I go into Sintranos, I try to slot as many of these fully awakened 6 star Rares as I can on a stage, to see which ones impress me. 'That' to me is where I get my fun in the game. Then I like he challenge of Fusions, even if everyone hates on it, and even if I see no value in it's kit.... stuff like this keeps the game fresh for me, and it's something that really can't be nerfed an taken away from me. I'd love to run a channel that does features on those champs.... but I can't see there being much interest in watching a 50yr old dude build a bunch of Steroid Rares with 6 star souls. LOL. Anyway, love the content. Cheers.
I appreciate your take on RAID. I agree - there are all types of gamers who find their fun in different ways. I like that you make those 6-star rares. That's a cool way to look at things. As for watching a 50 year old dude on youtube play RAID...well, I seem to be doing alright. My guess is you could too - but, again, only if you find joy in it. 🫡
Also re potential collabs, deffo reach out to Arroneous, he is a fellow F2P and he does a lot of grinding live arena and does some Sintranos content etc!
Do a collab with Ash and Ahnaldt101 - then you have the three stages of energy. Ahnaldt is like a car salesman on crack )I love him, he got me playing SWGOH first, then I could not take it anymore.
Personally I try to be positive I know your using your time to make this content and I respect that I will be negative if I think your content is poor but in the main both of you do great content and if you don't like it turn it off watch something else
I appreciate that. And to be clear, I don't mind honest, constructive criticism at all. I believe viewers should share that feedback. But the people who just want to take their frustrations out in the comments...well, that's not cool.
Lol! I love me some Jgigs. I've actually talked to him a few times already this month. We're going to try to do another collab if we can get the scheduling right. It's tough with him in Australia and me on the East Coast U.S. But yes, I will try to make that happen. Thanks for the comment!
I think the CCs have a screwed view of the game for most players. I mean, you took over my account on Tues and immediately thought I was not FTP.. I had to explain to you that I was. For an earlier game CC you have to remember, not everyone is mid game Same with Ash or the other CCs that are completely end game. Remember, you have lots of players who don't have the end game champs for every dungeon and PvP. I love BOTH your channels, btw.. This was just some constructive criticism.
You're right. I misjudged your account. To be fair, that doesn't happen often. Also, it doesn't really mean anything to me when I do a takeover if someone is a spender or not. I'm just trying to give the best advice I can based on the account I'm working on. So I'm not sure that my mistake about your account has much to do with me being a CC. I just think I made a mistake - one that could happen to anybody. But I appreciate the feedback. And I hope the takeover helped you in some way as well. Thanks!
Thank you for this great video! It's awesome to see two dedicated fathers and content creators having such an honest, real conversation about balancing gaming with life and family. Truly inspiring!
Keep up the GREAT work here on the channel man. Seriously, I already feel you're one of the very best CCs in the RAID scene -- only up from here. Was my pleasure chatting with you!
I thought the positivity was cringe at first but once I saw it was genuine it matters every time I hear it, but then I dont have friends or family at this challenging time so maybe thats parasocial af lol, but either way the effect somewhere out there is positive which moves on and on
Hail to the King 👑 ...
20:20 On the topic of "hateful" comments. I've had multiple people telling me to "unalive" myself for simply expressing my unpopular opinions. You just have to accept that some people won't agree with you, or like you for whatever reason.. some times no reason. Most important thing is to keep doing what you enjoy.
Thanks, Ash! It was truly my pleasure working with you. Stay positive! We'll have to do it again some day.
@@SamSolstice69 you make great amazing content no fluff straight to the point
absolutely love ash and NO it does NOT get redundant! ashs good vibes always puts a smile on my face
Exactly! I told him the same thing. Before I watch any Ash video, I already know I'm going to smile my way through it.
Literally 2 minutes into the video and just wanted to comment that I love how excited and passionate Colred is about interviewing the other CCs. You can tell he enjoys it on a personal level and that he finds it fun, so refreshing to see.
Lol, thanks! I do really enjoy these interactions. Being a CC can be pretty insular. It's refreshing to get to talk to another CC, get their take on the life and the job, and just have a two-way conversation instead of doing yet another monologue. Also, I'm just an Ash fan. I think his channel is really fun and positive, and I appreciate in a way beyond just the professional. So yeah, this was super fun for me. Thanks for the comment!
Two of my favorite content creators, love love this collab!
Sincere thank you for the insight and conversation. At the end of the day, gaming gives us common ground. Positivity and education is why I watch both of you.
Yes! I agree. We're all here to learn and it's even more enjoyable when the content is also positive and entertaining. Ash and I have different styles, for sure, but we both believe in that idea, and I think it shows in our content (or I hope it does).
Colred and Ash #1
🥇🥇
Love ash 🎉🎉 always some very good vibes when he's around. Ash and Colred together... That's firrreeeeeeeeeeee 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you! I had so much fun talking to Ash for this. No lie - I can't wait to do another one in the future.
Ash has always seemed to be a good dude. He's a big CC who puts newer / smaller CCs on and brings new eyes 👀 to everyone. It's good to see people helping others.
I agree. I've always enjoyed his channel because he seems so committed to bringing positive outcomes to the world. He was exactly that same guy behind the scenes as well.
Ash has actually helped me through some hard times with just watching his videos. I commented on his video a few Xmas seasons ago when I wasn't able to go home and see my family (Xmas is a very hard time for me as my fiancée died in a car crash close to Xmas) and his positivity and nice comment to my comment helped me a lot in a dark time. I really appreciate him as a human being even though I have never met him.
That's a touching story. I think someone who has suffered a personal tragedy sometimes changes because of that experience, becoming a person who willingly offers comfort to others who are suffering in similar ways. I don't know Ash well, but I believe he is probably an example of this kind of person. His concern for others certainly seems a genuine and central facet of his personality. I'm glad that he was able to help you when you needed it. It's an excellent reminder to all of us, but especially content creators, that our small contributions to the world can still have a significant impact in the lives of others. Thank you for sharing. 🙏
Ash perfectly described the channel.
Yeah, it was really nice to see that he had specific knowledge of my videos - he gave me lots of great feedback when we weren't recording. Really cool.
Ash is such a likeable guy, I'm still new to raid, only played 50 days, but his content is really up there, and I really liked this colab, thanks for the good content, keep it up man!
Thank you! And I agree - I always enjoyed Ash's content. Now that I've met with him and we've worked together, I've got to say - that's really who he is. Maybe he's not at full speed all day the way he is in the video, but that persona isn't a persona. He's just genuinely that guy. This collab was so much fun for me. I can't wait to do another one. 👍
I wanted to comment on Colred’s question about if Ash regrets starting every video with a positive comment or if he has thought of not doing it. I personally have often had days where I really needed that message and went to look for one of Ash’s videos. That message has made a difference for me a number of time. Thank you Ash.
Well said! And I have done the same. Sometimes I see an Ash video pop up in my feed and I just think to myself, "Yup. That's what I need right now." I rarely feel that way about any other CC.
Wicked video! Thank you both!! 2 great humans and legends in the community!! keep it up guys!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the collab. I know I did!
Amazing interview! Thanks a lot to both of you. Doing Raid content for 10 months now I absolutely felt everything you said and thanks a lot for speaking out especially about the topic of people simply being mean. I am so happy besides a few rare occasion receive a lot of positive feedback, but it certainly becomes more and more with a channel growing. Please stay the way you are and continue doing Raid content.
Thank you! I appreciate that coming from another CC. Stay strong, my friend. And good luck with growing your channel!
I've always said if the aliens eve come to wipe us out, Ash is our best shot to show them humans are worth saving.
Lol! Well said. I like that. 👽
Love this colab two positive and intelligent souls... To have a serious and deep conversation is excellent 👍 also ash man we love you I saw you a bit down when talking about negative comments regarding family and remember that the majority disagree with those people who are spiteful and nasty ❤
Thank you! I enjoy having these conversations and just seeing another, maybe more human, side to the CCs I've watched for so long. This was one of my favorite conversations with another CC yet.
@@ColredPlaysRSL being genuine is the best thing about it... And we always need more humanity
Every once in a while, someone in my comments compliments me while taking a shot at another CC. And I get it - I don't like every CC's style or approach either. But I always try to defend CCs, even ones I don't know, because I DO know how hard the job is. It's scary to put yourself out there in such an exposed manner, and it's difficult to produce new, informative, or entertaining content on a near daily basis. Because he's so visible, Ash takes more shots than most, and I really wish that weren't the case. I found him to be a completely genuine, thoughtful, and kind-hearted guy. I would love it if my interview of him made those few viewers reassess how they look at Ash, and maybe, just maybe, see a little of what the rest of us appreciate about him and his content.
@@ColredPlaysRSL unfortunately as humans we have faults some we can change or improve. But personal attack or judgments of others with little to information is moral corruption and harder to change.
Ash can make videos without donating and get the same views, but he does and I am thankful he does, why should I care about his motives 1 reason only is to give myself an excuse why I don't give to charity.
Regarding content a series of 10 parts on what plarium should be improving how and why.
Or another series that is about new content for raid lol I am sure you thought about these and much much more
Good luck sir and thank you
Two of my favorites creators together, absolute gold. Really enjoyed the convo, the gift and the curse that the internet is can be cruel sometimes because it allows some cowards to be on their worst behavior from the safety of their keyboard. There is a reason I enjoy both of you guys contents, you both try to keep a positive outlook on things in game or life but also address things when they need to be addressed… congrats on the collab Colred, Ash’s videos helped me when I first started watching content and his champions guide channel is my go to when I pull a new champ ❤
Thank you! This collab was really fun for me. Like you, I often watch Ash's channel. I may have watched more Ash videos than any other CC's for the first 2 years of my time in RAID. Currently, I probably watch HH more than anyone else, but I still try to catch 1-2 Ash vids a week, at least.
Sweet... 2 of my favorites!!!!
Thanks! I had a lot of fun talking to Ash. Really genuine guy.
I would LOVE to see a Colred history events channel or something. like educational but fun. Something similar to what the channel Into The Shadows(and his other channels) do. I think you would be great at it. Heck in all honesty, I could listen to you just reading a book or short stories.
And @ash-RAID your positive affirmations at the start of every video have had a huge affect on me. As someone who struggles with mental health, I like to stay current with Raid stuff and it gets hard sometimes with plariums greed, but I know I can always start with ASH's daily video and always be reminded to be grateful, thankful, and look for a positive. And it always helps with that first step out of the current hole. Thank you for ALWAYS doing that.
Thank you! I appreciate the support. Maybe I could do an audio-book style channel. I think I'd enjoy that. And I agree with you - Ash's positivity is just plain valuable. I hope he never changes that part of his approach to content creation.
No way this video is longer than 40 minutes wow never a dull moment!
Ash is such a gem to the community and as a person. Honestly i stereotyped him too as only entertaining, and when he addressed that and state his planning and work with OddOne gaming to create better more creative videos i really respect him.
Great idea to interview and get to know him more man. Appreciate your content as always!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. The time flew by for me as well. I said it near the end of the video, but I could have talked to Ash all day. He actually extended our time by like 30 minutes so we could have a more in-depth conversation. Very cool.
I like Ash's tip at the end about finding your own "edge". I have been playing Raid 24/7 since end of 2019 & I am just not very good at the game. But I am now running 22 accounts so I can solo siege content & I imagine very few others are free to play solo siege players!
Lol! Nope, I agree. I doubt anyone else is a solo siege player. That's your title to claim, for sure. 👍
I agree I believe everyone has their own personal pains they’re going through and sometimes faceless rants on the internet can let people vent some pain. So always take it with a grain of salt because most people are good and if met in person would be cool as a cucumber. Awesome conversation I enjoyed greatly and Ash is a cool dude. Colred great video.
Thank you! I do try to remember that. I never know what's going on in a commentor's life when they hit me with something harsh. On the flip side, they have no idea what I might be going through. So I think to drop a mean comment and walk away is still a really crappy thing to do. But we shake it off and move on as best we can. Ultimately, I've got too many good things going on in my life, and too much work to do, to get bogged down in someone else's negativity. Thanks for the comment!
I'm so glad I clicked on this video. This video made me respect Ash so much more than I already did!!
I'm glad to hear it! 👍
Ash and you I had watched in passing when I was new into the game.
Colred, your roadmap of content priority within Raid from early to late-end region of progression was very enlightening and simplified my approach into such a vast game.
Ash, his videos of champion guides had helped me with my summoning journey. Especially when I was picking up more epics, taking place of the rares I was becoming familiar with.
Thanks for the comment, Thugzilla! It's been great having you along on this journey. 🫡
Great video and a wonderful change of pace for the channel. I have really been enjoying your channel lately even though I rarely comment on any channel. Keep up the good work and keep being an amazing dad and thanks to Ash for always keeping it real, healthy, and positive. Great job!
Thank you so much! I appreciate the views and the comment!
great work colred..... congrats for colab...enjoyed it
Thank you! Yes, this collab was a big one. Feels like a milestone for the channel. Now I'm just waiting for Ash to drop his half of the collab on his channel tomorrow. That's going to be exciting too!
You are a big part of why I'm still playing Raid. I like how structured you are. Since you asked, I would like you to do a collaboration again. What about Big Papa Rock? Ash seems to love his vibe. Also, Boozer seems shy, but if you send him the questions ahead of time, I think he would make a great collaboration.
Thank you! That's a very nice compliment. I've done a collab with Drock, and I've recently thought about reaching out to him to do another. I really love his energy as well. As for Boozor...well, wait and see...
We just hit a new upper level!!! Congrats DAWG!
Thank you! I can't wait for Ash's video to come out. Make sure to watch it when it hits.
2 of my 3 favorite content creators (Nub is great too)! Fun video! And Ash is right, most of this game confused me until I found Colred.
Lol. I think that's a great top 3 CC list. I'm proud to be included. And I agree - both Ash and Nub are fantastic. Thanks for the comment!
Nice interview, and I'm definitely one of those who appreciate the positivity of Ash' attitude & content ❤
Thank you! And I agree. Ash is just a fun, nice guy. We need more of those.
Thank you Colred for this video. One of your best! Love Ash and how positive he is. You did a great job interviewing him, well done. I'm so happy to be in your cluster following your awesome work 😊
Would love a collab with Boozor
Thank you! I appreciate the kind words. And we're very happy to have you in our cluster as well. Positive people make for great communities, and great communities make for fun gaming.
You guys are great!!! Keep on being positive!!
Thank you!
love both you guys, you've both contributed to my account more than you'll know and I'm sorry the internet is toxic but you guys are great. keep up the great work!!!
Thank you!
Nothing like putting on my earbuds and doing some gardening. Thanks for the collab, it was great. How’s the back been?
Awesome! I hope the gardening was soothing and successful. The back is medium. It's improved some, but now I'm stuck in this kind of middle ground. Not good, not awful, not improving any more. I need to follow up with my doc again. I appreciate your concern. Thank you.
Ash is 100% right about Colred articulating stuff to the viewers. Helped me with several teams I had been struggling with for a long time.
Thank you! I'm happy to hear the videos have been helping! 🫡
What an amazing video! I always look forward to your content and Ash's on the daily, I feel you both bring amazing content from totally different perspectives, and I just really enjoy that. Thanks for doing this video, and keep pushing that envelope!
Thank you! I truly appreciate the encouraging words. 🫡
Great video! I really appreciate Ash a lot and everything he's doing and Colred is my favorite up and coming CC! Looking forward to more of your collabs guys!
Thanks!
Great vid guys. Much appreciated. 🥂
Thank you!
Great video! You two are becoming my favorite ccs
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Can't wait for this one. Love both your channels
Thanks! I had so much fun doing this. I hope Ash did too.
REALLY enjoyed this! I'm one of the silent majority who watches regularly and very rarely posts comments
Thank you! I always appreciate the views and likes, of course, but a special thank you for the comment this time around. I hope to hear from you again in the future.🫡
Love this vid. You 2 are a couple of my fave CCs for Raid. Really love Ash’s positive vibes and real chat as well as solid game advice and Colred you are super informative and helpful from a F2P perspective and you have your own positive energy that is super appreciated! Keep goin gents
Thank you very much!
If anything I'm surprised this collaboration didn't happen sooner. Well overdue I think. Great interaction between quality CCs
I haven't been great about pursuing collabs for the past 6 months. Life with a baby just took most of my attention. I'm hoping to change that in the upcoming weeks and months.
@@ColredPlaysRSL completely understandable. Family has to come first before Raid
As a new player, your channels are very helpful. Even though I still only understand a fraction of what is going on. But I feel some of the gaps already closing. So thank you both for doing this.
Thank you! I know there's a language curve for new players. I do try to consider that in my delivery, but after 3.5 years of talking about RAID, it can be difficult to turn down the jargon unless I'm really consciously trying. I hope you keep finding the videos helpful anyway!
@@ColredPlaysRSL Totally! Thus far your videos have been the most approachable at the very start. When starting a new game, especially one as complex as Raid, it always takes a while to get used to the ins and outs. My previous gaming journey was rooted in entirely different genres, so it' only normal that there would be a phase of adjustment. And thx to channels like yours, I instantly had fun with it and I'm learning something everyday.
It was bound to happen eventually! Great video!
I don't know about that, but I'm glad you thought so. It seems you were right, too!
Great collab, and yes these behind the curtains look into a CC's journey are what the community needs to see too, so they/we can see the truth in what it really takes to get to where you are. The myths that arise from personal thoughts expressed by those who have an idea without any substance that also take root needs to be swept away, and there is no better way to do that than making vids like these imo.
I would like to see you do a collab with some of the up and commers like yourself, that are just a little further back in their rise than yourself even. Aroneous comes to mind who I found because I was looking for something a bit different about a year ago where I discovered you and Boozor, and also came across his "common and uncommon" series. I thought it was bonkers good and I think I'm it's only fan lol but that's how I discovered him. He hasn't done a vid in that series for at least 5 months now unfortunately. Like you, he is a newish father, his is probably over a year old now, so he may be able to give some tips on how to juggle a new family with creating content, or not lol. He is a f2p end game player that mainly does arena vids now but he is an interesting CC. I would like to see you do all of them at some point, big and small.
I also think you should try to go on Blazin's Knights of Talaria (KoT) podcast/stream on a Sunday sometime as I think your take on the discussion/s of the week would be valuable. He is always open for any CC to message him and ask to go on as he says it's open for all CC's to come on every week. Last week, he had mrbarritoslayer as a guest another CC that I watch and I think you could collab with too now that I think of it.
Thanks, Dharin! I've talked to Blazin about the Sunday stream. Unfortunately, that time is reserved for the family right now. But that may change in the future. I think the Arroneous idea would be fun. My clan actually faced his in siege a month ago. I think he's a little more advanced than I am, but we pulled out the victory. I will see if he's interested. Thanks for the comment!
@@ColredPlaysRSL Yeah, I know we won. I was there! lol. I wanted to have a go at him but Sanjo had the better team, so I handed first shot to him and he won. I took out the second from last team and the last mana shrine team, before tanking 3 so we could stay low in our tier. baby brain has got you good if you can't remember that the noisiest person in your streams is in it 🤣🤣
Lol! Yeah, you were! Sorry. I get a little fuzzy after responding to 100 comments for a video. 🥱
This is the wholesome content we need!
Lol! What, you don't like me telling Plarium to *&%! off? I thought that was your jam!
On the privacy issue thing....
I was just talking about this on a discord I am part of... how I was browsing a friend's vacation post on Facebook the other day, and I happened to notice a familiar face in the 'People You May Know' section... and half he Fateless main staff were there.
Their personal accounts, suggested to me, which are full of their friends and family....
Stuff like that weirds me out. I don't think I would want to be in a position where social media was advertising my personal life to people on the internet that it had tagged were using the same website I was, or in the same physical location I might be in. As a guy who was in university at the dawn of the internet, I had my concerns about it over the decades, but it's gone far past what I am comfortable with much of the time. I get very defensive and even cold when people inquire about my personal information, and I am often commenting to people I see that I think may not grasp the ramifications of something they just shared with the public. I have one reaction channel where I am part of heir discord, and the dude lives in Florida, and was showing people the prep on his house to get ready for the hurricanes in previous weeks... and I messaged him privately, because dude didn't cover up his house number in his photos, and he had been quite open publicly about which city/town he lived in. I was worried for his safety, and the safety of his family.
It's great that content creators share personal details.... personal details is what connects us more that just to strangers. It's how we get to know people as friends... but on the internet it just has this dark side, that everything you share, can be used to nefariously as well. It's hard, because as much as I ant to leave social media and the internet... it's just become so much a staple of our lives, our entertainment, and our commerce, that it makes it almost impossible to leave. Finding the balance of 'how much is too much to share' is one of he most important questions users can ask themselves.
Agreed. Privacy in a social media world takes vigilance. And if you're a public figure - like a content creator - it takes even more determination and intention than for most people. When I started this CC journey, my wife and I made an agreement - no full names, limited location details, and no pictures or video of our son. Now, some of that information is bound to leak out over the years, but we're still going to try to guard it as much as possible. I think that's only prudent. At the same time, others may feel differently, and there's no saying who's right. I just know that having at least some small bubble of privacy makes me feel more comfortable.
Definitely an amazing collaboration between two exemplary creators. Keep your head up and keep up your amazing work 😁
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Don't miss the second half. It just dropped on Ash's channel today.
@@ColredPlaysRSL I caught the second half first so it definitely helped make this one more enjoyable because it was just the two of you talking about your lives and how you manage creating and living, and managing that slippery ballance of Real Life and Gaming/Content Creation. So it was very entertaining and very positive! ❤️
Dope interview. I just learned about your channel from Ashes, I'm a FTP player, loved your tips over there, & loved your interview here. You guys are both awesome, keep doin it & I'll keep watching it 😁 tyvm
Thank for checking out the channel! I hope you enjoy the content.🫡
Ash is 100% de content king...
His videos are just top notch ...
The editing level in his videos are just god tier
I love his editing too. It adds so much. Sun and I talked about borrowing some of his style early on in our channel's life. We decided that, no matter how much fun it is, it wouldn't suit our style. Plus, we'd never do it as good as Ash. So we went our own way instead. I think that was a good choice, but I still chuckle at all Ash's outtakes every time.
Thanks for this... The video I didn't know I needed today.
You are welcome! The second video should be dropping on Ash's channel today.
Ash still rocks even after watching him for 4 years
Agreed. 100%
@@ColredPlaysRSL and I really enjoy your channel
I'm a big fan of both you guys! Fantastic vids Colred. Keep up the great work!
Thank you! I'm a big fan of Ash too. It was great to meet him and have a cool discussion about life and gaming. I look forward to doing another collab with him in the future.
Enjoyed it! Keep the vids coming.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. 👍
Great Colab, do not worry about not talking about the game per se. Both of you are persons, and both of you are infinitely more important than any video game. I like knowing about who is Ash and Colred. Keep up the good work, do not neglect family and last but not least do not forget about God.
Thank you! I agree - the human aspect of gaming has always been most important to me. I like games, but I like gaming with friends much more.
ASHE opening being positive needs to remain consistent. We all need that and it's part of his persona imo.
I agree 100%.
Awesome video gentlemen
Thank you so much!
Negative voices are louder unfortunately, Love this collab and how the CCs of RAID all do these sorts of things together. We all win from these
Thank you! I appreciate the positivity in your reply. And I agree - we all win from these kinds of videos. That's one of the reasons I find them so much fun to make.
Love you guys ❤️
Thank you!!
Collabrations are great
Thanks! I will try to do more of them!
Great video, and both keep being positive.
Thank you!
I enjoyed this video, I watch both you and Ash... I will try to remember to hit the like lol
Thanks! That like button helps a lot. 👍
Ash I love how you are always positive also. With so much negativity in the world it's nice to know you will always have a something positive. One reason why I watch almost every video even on champions and things I don't have or use yet. Thanks colored and ash for great content very helpful from a ftp
You are welcome! And I agree - I love how positive Ash always is. I'm not as high energy on my channel, but I try to bring some of that positivity as well. Like Ask said, there's more than enough negativity out there.
My 2 favorite CCs, not gonna tell ya who’s number one 🎉😂
Lol! Hey, if I'm number 2 to Ash, I'm in pretty good company. 😅
This was real and I loved it!
Awesome! Thank you!!
My 2 fav's..love it ❤
Thank you! I'm very excited about this video. I want people to enjoy it - so it's nice to hear the positive response. 😄
The two best raid cc's together makes a top video 👌
Thank you! I'm sure Ash will be thrilled to hear you've got him ranked as #2! 😜
@ColredPlaysRSL ofcourse he will everyone knows your #1 so he can only settle for 2nd 😂
😉
Excellent vid as always...and brilliant having Ash on with you 🎉. Where is the other vid that you mentioned from Ash and yourself about F2P? I can't find it on Ash's channel
Thanks! I'm not sure about the video. I was expecting it to drop yesterday. Maybe there were technical difficulties. I hope to see it soon!
Awesome colab
Thank you! I had a ton of fun making this video. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I'm very low spender. I have a couple of accounts going. I love playing daily. Yes, I struggle to get good artifacts. But I love watching both of you guys channels. Y'all mentioned about quitting if you are starting to dislike the game, I'd just stop for a while then get back to it.
Yes, taking a break is always a good option too. I did that in my early RAID days. Good call! 👍
The answer for ash's question (if his opening is losing its effectiveness from saying it everyday ) is NO everytime he says it it just sounds like the first time and it helps
Well said. I agree.
Awesome video
Thank you!
Colred, What about reaching out to Simon? Hell Hades? He might be too busy to throw down for a 2 hour process, who knows? Another interview I'd like to hear from is JGigs. I'm interested why he went over to Australia. I guess from New York City. I think Simon (Hell Hades) is in the UK. I guess he's also involved in the godforge thing, and lots of RSL optimizer things. You might have already done collaborations with either or both of these people before. The interview with Ash was interesting.
I've done collabs with both! I definitely want to hook up with them again soon, but if you're interested in those collabs, just do a quick search on my YT main page. I enjoyed both. Thanks for the comment!
2 of my fav CC. Christmas time 😊
Lol! I wrapped this one especially for you! 🎁
2 of the absolute best cc's🎉🎉
I appreciate you saying so. It's nice to be included in the same category as Ash. 😊
@@ColredPlaysRSL you are as same amount entertainment person like ash just different way!! Keep on good work man
@@ColredPlaysRSL and your video of amius was the reason why I beat it first time...like all you videos where you give tips how beat raid content that's is so gold
Alright, then! I better get back to some more guide videos. 👍
Awesome I love colabs
I do too! I need to do more...
Colred gets recognized in the street, but people hesitate to speak to him, as they can't believe Yul Brynner is still alive ! 😀
More likely, they can't believe Mr. Clean isn't animated. 👨🦲
@@ColredPlaysRSL Alright Mr Clean, now we need an artifact storage cleaning video ! ;-)
Ash is a good dude
Yes he is. I appreciate that about him as well. And he's the same good dude off screen as he is onscreen. I dig that.
Great vid and remember to always be true to yourself because there will always be people who cannot separate your persona from fiction and ofc there is a small % of humanity that is genuinely just nasty and should not be given a second of your time, work, family or emotions. I am so old that I have stopped worrying about what everyone else thinks is wrong with me I already have family and friends that I known for 50 years that is qualified to tell me when I am wrong or not and I listen to them not some stranger that woken up and munched on a bag of bitter almonds. Just a waste of time trying to please those people, constructive criticism YES, pure hate NO thanks.
Thank you! And I appreciate the sentiment. Constructive criticism can help use grow. Destructive criticism is meant to hold us down so someone else can feel superior. Accept the first, reject the latter, and life becomes much, much better.
Nice !
Thanks! 👍
Dope 🔥
I thought this read "dupe" at first, and I was trying to figure out what it meant. Lol! Thanks for the comment! 👍
Do a Collab with Cold Brew Gaming or Blazing
Good shout outs! Thanks. 👍
This some real talk man people really don’t think about half the things they post as a comment
Unfortunately, that's very true. I've become very conscious of my own comments on videos since becoming a CC. I had always tried to be polite, but now I really consider carefully before commenting anything that could be construed as criticism. Is it helpful? Is it even necessary? I usually default to a "good job! I liked THIS part the most!" kind of comment these days.
you need to do a collab with aroneous another fellow FTP content creator.. hes such a great genuine person, reminds me a bit of ash personality
That is the name that keeps coming up the most. I will have to reach out. Thanks for the comment!
Love ash how I learnt how to play but I also enjoy your channel now colred I agree with ash how you simplify things is awesome and you have my respect on how you play ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you! It's gratifying to hear that what I am trying to accomplish with my channel is actually succeeding in the eyes of my viewers.
Keep up the great job. You ,Ash , Hellhades make my game play easier. I still suck but on my way.
Thank you! And yes, you are definitely on your way. I hope our videos help you on that journey. 👍
@ColredPlaysRSL weekdays funny is that I've been playing for while, and there's sometimes I can't get that game. But yes little by little, I'll get there.
Boooooooooooriiiiiiiiing ... Just kidding I enjoyed every second of this video really nice interview :) all the best!!
Lol! IT WAS YOU! Ban hammer incoming in 3...2....🔨
line the good vibes from Ash but he can overdo it to the point where it feels forced or fake
showing his negativity on the mysticals is a good example of showing his true feelings
I think the positivity is great! I also think it's genuine. But yes, all of us CC are performative at times - it's part of the job. And viewers should watch who they like, or who they feel like watching in the moment. That's why it's so great to have so many different, good CCs in the RAID sphere. There's always a CC to suit your mood. Thanks for the comment!
I think everyone, even though they enjoy the entire game (more or less - otherwise, why would they be playing?), has one specific thing they enjoy doing in the game above all others...
For some it's classic features of the game, like Arena PvP, or figuring out the best Hydra strats... and for others it's the 'not-so-usual' things in the game they enjoy, like only doing the Fusions, even though they may not need, or plan to build, the Fusion champ, etc etc.
I know I will never be end game. I will never be top tier. I am fine with that. Being end game an top tier is freaking exhausting. I ill play Hydra to the extent that I build a team that gets me top chest in Normal and Hard, but I will never micromanage the construction of a team that has all the specific stats and speeds to turn out 1 Billion damage. I have no patience for that crap. I won't even manual a run. If it's not auto, I can't be bothered. Even my main Clan Boss team, is a brute force team of Force, Magic, and Spirit champs that uses no cheese, and is meant to turn out the same damage no matter what affinity it I am fighting. I run a clan where the only requirement is to use a couple of CB keys daily on NM or UNM, everything else is optional, but welcomed if they participate.
With that said, for me, I play a little game... whenever I pull a rare 6 star soul... that becomes my next champ to max. No matter which one it is. When I go into Sintranos, I try to slot as many of these fully awakened 6 star Rares as I can on a stage, to see which ones impress me. 'That' to me is where I get my fun in the game. Then I like he challenge of Fusions, even if everyone hates on it, and even if I see no value in it's kit.... stuff like this keeps the game fresh for me, and it's something that really can't be nerfed an taken away from me.
I'd love to run a channel that does features on those champs.... but I can't see there being much interest in watching a 50yr old dude build a bunch of Steroid Rares with 6 star souls. LOL.
Anyway, love the content. Cheers.
I appreciate your take on RAID. I agree - there are all types of gamers who find their fun in different ways. I like that you make those 6-star rares. That's a cool way to look at things. As for watching a 50 year old dude on youtube play RAID...well, I seem to be doing alright. My guess is you could too - but, again, only if you find joy in it. 🫡
Also re potential collabs, deffo reach out to Arroneous, he is a fellow F2P and he does a lot of grinding live arena and does some Sintranos content etc!
Yeah, that's a name that's been floated several times in the comments, so i will be exploring that soon. Thanks for the input!
Do a collab with Ash and Ahnaldt101 - then you have the three stages of energy. Ahnaldt is like a car salesman on crack )I love him, he got me playing SWGOH first, then I could not take it anymore.
Lol! I will have to take that suggestion into consideration. Sounds like a fun idea. 😁
why no link of the "best fruit" channel lol
Lol! I low-key loved that moment. Took a lot for me not to crack up on camera.
Great job fellas
Thanks MTG! I appreciate you taking the time to comment. I think it's high time you and I did another collab. Hit me up when you've got the time. 🫡
Personally I try to be positive I know your using your time to make this content and I respect that I will be negative if I think your content is poor but in the main both of you do great content and if you don't like it turn it off watch something else
I appreciate that. And to be clear, I don't mind honest, constructive criticism at all. I believe viewers should share that feedback. But the people who just want to take their frustrations out in the comments...well, that's not cool.
jgigs please, do a TLC react. ask him why he puts bricks in tank on the back of his toilet lol
Lol! I love me some Jgigs. I've actually talked to him a few times already this month. We're going to try to do another collab if we can get the scheduling right. It's tough with him in Australia and me on the East Coast U.S. But yes, I will try to make that happen. Thanks for the comment!
6 min in almost and there's nothing except just 2 guys complimenting each other and intros TLDR
Lol! I apologize. Does it make you uncomfortable to watch two grown men complimenting each other? 😜
I think the CCs have a screwed view of the game for most players.
I mean, you took over my account on Tues and immediately thought I was not FTP..
I had to explain to you that I was.
For an earlier game CC you have to remember, not everyone is mid game
Same with Ash or the other CCs that are completely end game. Remember, you have lots of players who don't have the end game champs for every dungeon and PvP.
I love BOTH your channels, btw.. This was just some constructive criticism.
You're right. I misjudged your account. To be fair, that doesn't happen often. Also, it doesn't really mean anything to me when I do a takeover if someone is a spender or not. I'm just trying to give the best advice I can based on the account I'm working on. So I'm not sure that my mistake about your account has much to do with me being a CC. I just think I made a mistake - one that could happen to anybody. But I appreciate the feedback. And I hope the takeover helped you in some way as well. Thanks!
so Ash a fake ..... sad
really?!? That's what you got? I guess there's always one...
Thank you for this great video! It's awesome to see two dedicated fathers and content creators having such an honest, real conversation about balancing gaming with life and family. Truly inspiring!
Thanks, Krop! I hope the insight helps you with your CC journey as well. I know it's given me a lot of food for thought.
