New Tier + New Insider Reward + New Goal!

Hellooooo everyone.

This is Joon coming at you with a big chunk of updates for the Patreon. Lots of new stuff! All the recent positive energy from everyone has gotten' me powered up. There'll be an additional 'Thank You' video going live tomorrow that also touches on the updates, but you'll hear it all here first.

The first big update is we have a new reward tier: Elite! 

It is for super generous/awesome/insane people that have the leisure to and want to support me at a higher pledge than the Producer tier. In return, I want to offer something equivalent for the benefit. 

The unique reward for Elite is that I will be creating a BIG RAID style custom avatar of your character! Alongside that, the character/avatar will be displayed in a special credits section at the end of major videos. Plus, I will provide downloadable assets of the avatars so they can be used for personal thumbnails, icons, emote, the works.

The slots will be limited due to the extra workload, but if it turns out many people want to support at this tier, I will consider opening it up further in the future.

And of course, they'll have access to and receive all the things from previous tiers (Discord, 24-hour early screenings for major vids, Insider BTS vids).

 Speaking of Insiders, I have a big update for them too. I've added an additional tier benefit:  Downloadable HQ Videos for major videos. 

Compared to the other tiers' rewards, because I have to spend the time to create a whole additional video (Behind the Scenes), I felt that the Insider tier supporters didn't get their reward as quickly as others. I felt somewhat bad about that and I wanted to offer a bit more.

The upsides to the downloadable vids are: Higher quality than the Youtube upload and the possibility of updating new versions to fix major~minor errors.

After a Youtube version is up for a day or two, it's somewhat inconvenient for me (and others!) to upload a new video to fix a few minor errors, since many people are watching/linking/using the vid by then.

To compensate, I try to make corrections/notes in the comments or go as far as making bonus videos. However for these HQ downloads, I can pretty much update the link whenever I want to and constantly refine the video as I see fit. Potentially, you'll be able to have access to a guide in its FINAL FORM, so to speak.

I'll be providing these starting the next major video and progressively will add downloads to previously uploaded guides/vids/etc.

The last big update is that I've added a new stretch goal: E6S Pickup Guide!  

If we reach the patreon subscriber landmark, I'll put aside time to make a full guide for that fight.

I originally had no plans to fit this into my upcoming schedule, but I took the time to ask y'all in a Youtube poll to see which one you'd want in between e6s or e7s. Rakta won out. I figured if this many people are willing to support me, the least I can do is try to squeeze in another vid.

One important thing to note is, I want this guide to have worth and to come out a decent amount of time before the 5.2~5.3 tier ends. So this goal would have to be reached + the vid would have to be completed and released at a reasonable amount of time. (Let's say as a ballpark duration, at least one month before patch 5.4 hits).

However, if the goal is reached late, I still want to be able to provide something for you guys. So if that happens, I will put it up to a poll again and let you guys pick a fight for me to prioritize next tier or even let you pick a fight (I've cleared) to make a guide for, even something from a previous tier.

I know that's a lot going on in a single post but all the support you've guys have been sending by way has given me a lot of energy and motivation to provide more.

Thanks again for all the love and I'm looking forward to the new people that'll join the crew. I'll do my best to keep making cool videos. Happy raiding, till then!
