For Those Who Want To Make a Guide! Please Read!

[Zeus]

Hey guys,

I've been noticing the anti guide thing going on. I also noticed that its mainly originating because of guides of similar things that have already been made.

Now, I myself am fine with making guides, but as long as they're not just regurgitated knowledge or have a different twist on things, in a good way. The other option is to simply create a totally new guide on something that hasn't been done before.

So, I think a lot of the forumers are just asking to make sure before you create a guide.

How can you do this?

Well, there is the search function. There's also a list of guides (slightly outdated, but still covers many of existing guides). It can be found here: http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?20352-Guides-Indexes-Helpsheets-amp-all-other-wonderful-stuff-in-one-place

Now, for those who do still want to make guides, I'm just going to give a few examples on things that you do need guides on!

• The Weapon Proc Guide. The existing one is out of date and needs to be updated as the original creator is long gone.

• An updated guide compilation. This has been out of date for around 4 months!

• New Twinking guides! People have started new Twinking levels like 56 & 61! I haven't really seen guides on those and I'm sure many people would appreciate them!


These are just a few examples. There's still stuff left to write guides about if you really want to, just not common sense guides.

One more thing: PLEASE do not make a guide you are not well educated on the subject. It is like a teacher giving wrong information to a student.

That's all I had to say :)

Cheers,

Yes dont be like 'ok made this guide thats just common sense, now tell me what to put in it' its not ur guide then, and if u dont know what to say, u need the guide as much as someone else.
Aka nothing basic either

Well this is hypocritical...

[RedRyder]

I'm sorry parthy old boy, but I'd have to agree with WE

[Mitchturbo]

LOL Or let's just get the admin to lock the guide section of the forums and it will save a lot of bother for everyone ;-)

Then if a devoted Forum player would like to design a Guide, they could make it then an Admin or Moderator can either Aprove it or disaprove it before it becomes available on the forums. That will stop a lot of spam guides and copy cats lol.

Just my two cents on the subject.

I'd say nice guide but id be attack by some.... people

Meh don't let them get to you.

Hopefully some people read this guide and take it to heart. Good job Parthy.

And now...

LOL! I realized that, bud, but somebody had to do it. :/

I thought this was a decent guide. It didn't contain much but it pointed out what topics are available to make a guide on.

If people had common sense, they still wouldn't continue to make useless guides. Apollo is only helping those people without common sense. :)

• The Weapon Proc Guide. The existing one is out of date and needs to be updated as the original creator is long gone.



A million in gold to the player that actually researches and documents all procs in the game. There are quite a few not listed on the forums that I know of, so regurgitating old info is not going to cut it.

Wasn't meant to be a guide ._. More like a message for those who wanted to create a guide but didn't know what to make it on, I was pointing out some topics that haven't been done yet.

But, lol, I agree. This wasn't meant for the regular forumers, but directed to the newer audience. I doubt if it will even be successful, but it's still worth a shot.

Yep, exactly. I was going to do it myself, but I wanted to give those who wanted their "chance of fame" the head start to create it if they wanted. If it doesn't show up in a week or so, I'll make it myself, otherwise I'm waiting.

I hear what you're saying. In Apollo's case, he was just giving some tips. There was one thread where the OP was complaining over guides and such and I found that very low. It wasn't very constructive at all, really. Didn't make this person any better than the content contained in "worthless" guides.

As I see it, make a worthy guide of your own, give tips, or be quiet. I'm not saying that towards you, just to everyone in general. :D

[Elyseon]

Maybe instead of guides on how to make guides we should have made guides on how to not make guides o_O
