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

    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 There's also a list of guides (slightly outdated, but still covers many of existing guides).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/show...f-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 The existing one is out of date and needs to be updated as the original creator is long gone.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 This has been out of date for around 4 months!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,

    ~Parth

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    You know these fake lil "joke" guides is just pure useless, if you guys get mad about guides of common sense then why do nonsense joke guides? Isn't it a way of trolling and laughing at all those people who make lame guides aswell? And in some cases it's just adding to your rep cause people thanks cause it cools there lil mini rage of useless guides. O.o

    I might have worded wrong
