Hello Sonarians, I'm Rachel, a Social Media Manager over at Twin Atlas, but you probably know me better by my username, Tokaliz in the community. I have a special Q/A from one of our most beloved Creatures of Sonaria youtubers who I had personally resurrected from their crypt to answer all of your burning questions in this blog.
Q: So Arby! How are you feeling?
Arby: Hello Tokaliz, I must say I’m a little groggy after being resurrected for the third time or so but otherwise I am full of vim and vigor!
Q: Glad to hear you're still kicking around then! As you know we go way back, well.. if you consider 2 years to be a long time anyways. That's around the time you made your channel right? You've been making Creatures of Sonaria videos for roughly two years! It's quite amazing how you've churned out 93 videos in such a short time! That's like.. 3 videos each month? They're not short videos either like you include at least 10 minutes of footage in each video. How do you do it?
Arby: Well I have taken many breaks throughout that time and I think I really need to work on making more videos in general, but I think most of it boils down to having a "main" project kinda, such a larger event video like a battle royale or challenge, and then sprinkling in easier simpler content. Random dumb ideas like abusing certain mechanics or showcasing a funny bug, etc.
Q: Out of all of those projects or dumb ideas that you've done do you have any favorites?
Arby: Ohh boy uhh.. I can’t look back at any video I've made without cringing and thinking I could do better haha, I have to say my favorite would be something I'm going to make in the future, not one I've made yet.. but if I was held at gunpoint I’d probably say the one where I got 1000 kills in 24 hours because its the 1st part in a trilogy I have planned.
Q: Well I'm excited to see how the trilogy pans out when you get to it! Speaking of projects and videos, the most popular video on your channel.. "100 Players Simulate THE HUNGER GAMES in Creatures of Sonaria", I was lowkey rooting for Tangela before they got wiped out by District 20. Were there any favorite moments you could remember when you hosted this event?
Arby: Honestly during the event absolutely not, I get so overwhelmed and stressed out it all becomes a blur. But my favorite moments during that Hunger Games in particular is just seeing the different POVs in pre-production, how certain teams interact, forming storylines and personalities of the participants, and catching super small details because it adds a lot to the story.
Q: I know your most recent videos focus heavily on taking advantage of the stats of certain creatures in combat. Since you're adept in the Creatures of Sonaria’s combat, is there any particular combo you found the most fun trying out in-game or any combo you wish existed in-game?
Arby: A lot of these combos I'm thinking of are legitimately not viable but they're still fun haha. In my opinion a weight build Parahexilian picking up an Ardor Warden with berserk proc’d full damage build is still so ridiculous. It's like a vulture carrying a chainsaw.
In terms of combos I wish existed it's a bit tough to say, but I would love to see some form of skill-shot added to the game like a projectile for terrestrials to knock fliers out of the sky since fliers are overpowered that'd be sick.
Q: That would be pretty awesome. Hey they just added fireball projectiles to Dragon Adventures so who's to say it can't show up in Creatures of Sonaria in the foreseeable future? On the topic of creatures, if you could have your own creature in Creatures of Sonaria what would your ideal creature be?
Arby: SHARK pleasssee god add a shark I want shark, specifically thresher shark I love thresher shark. There's all these creatures based on real animals but we have no sharks and it makes me sad..
Q: Haha well I'll try and put in a good word for you. Who knows maybe players would also want a shark creature too! We have a few annual events coming back before the end of the year, some of our biggest like Halloween and Winter that are just around the corner. Can we expect a future Arby video before the end of the year?
Arby: Yeah absolutely I’m trying to finish up the Battle Royale sequel vid right now to post on Friday.
Wow THIS Friday?? Well count me in on the premiere! I certainly look forward to your next and upcoming video. Anyways that's all I have for you today, thank you so much for coming back from the dead to answer all of these burning questions we've had. Enjoy a peaceful slumber 6-feet under while we await your next video!
