With the tier/level system overhaul, the Wiki needs a bit of cleaning up.

Mentions tiers a lot, should be turned into levels and reworked for more specifics on leveling.

Lot of mission reward information is outdated.  Notably, tier orbs and materials need to be turned into "spells of level + 1".

Life spells were removed, weren't they?  It makes Earth seem a bit misleading, in this case.

Under "Some way to Double Jump", Tier Orbs are mentioned.


I don't think these are *huge* deals, but I just noticed and thought they should be kept updated whenever possible (low priority).  It's not a bug thing, so I didn't want to put this on Mantis, but I thought it warranted a mention.

Thanks, yeah. This is actually my current project, but it's nice to have specific bullet points to sort through.

[tigersfan]

That said, if anyone is interested in helping, let me know and I can get you editing access.

I don't have a lot of free time, but I could take a few pokes around.  I'll probably do a continent 1 play-through on an average difficulty, and give pointers on things that I personally found useful and what missions are worth looking for and such.

I've never wiki'd before, but I might wind up fantastically bored one evening and feel like updating out-of-date information.

That said, if anyone is interested in helping, let me know and I can get you editing access.

As long as I can figure out the formatting and all that fun stuff (and if you can point out what most needs to be done), I can probably do some of it.  I've had alot of time with the game, so it wouldnt be hard for me to write stuff up about various bits of it.

I also have literally nothing but free time.

Formatting isn't all that crucial, and actually probably could be updated as well. As for what needs to be done, if you take this list: http://arcengames.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=A_Valley_Without_Wind , I've gone through the first 3 or 4 pages in order, but haven't had a chance to touch anything else.

For everyone else, I'll get you wiki access soon.

Ok, you should all have gotten a PM from me with your wiki sign in info. I encourage you all to change your passwords when you get in.

If anyone else is ever interested in helping with the Arcen wiki, sent me a PM.

Thanks again!

Well, I've gone and gotten started on this.

I went through these 2 pages:  "How Do I Know If I'm Prepared For An Expedition?" and "I Completed The Intro Mission... But What Do I Do Next?", and am pretty sure I've gotten them both properly updated.   Formatting is easier than I thought, and I also dont think that updating the Wiki as a whole is going to take anywhere near as long as I'd thought it would.   I'm cutting bits out and adding/changing things as necessary as opposed to trying to re-write them from scratch, so yeah.... less time than I'd thought.

If I'm missing anything or made any mistakes, do let me know.   I'll do more within the next day or so, I think.

[tigersfan]

Wow. Awesome. That saves me sooooo much time. Thanks! I'll read through them later today.

EDIT: Just went through them, aside from a couple minor language tweaks, they were awesome!

Allright, that's good then.

I think I can probably do pretty much all of these, actually.    I might try to get most (or all) of the rest of them done tonight.   So much free time, and I type fast, so that might work out well.

The only one I cant do is the multiplayer one, as I know exactly nothing about that aspect.

[Misery]

Ok.

I'm pretty sure this is done now.  I'm pretty sure I got everything.

Being that my short term memory is TERRIBLE and I tend to blank out at times, you're gonna wanna go through this and double-check just to make sure I didn't miss something entirely or do something stupid, but..... I'm actually pretty sure I didn't.   I did this all pretty carefully.    I didn't go over the ones you'd said you already did, though, so there shouldnt be any changes in those.

Again though, someone else has to do the multiplayer bit.


For the most part, all of these changes involved me editing what was already there, and outright removing things that dont apply anymore.   The one spot where I added alot of stuff was the descriptions of the different mission types.  Previously, it just listed a few examples, but, this being a wiki, I felt that most players reading it are going to expect a more comprehensive listing, so I listed and explained all mission types there.


There was alot of stuff to change overall, but it didn't take as long as I thought it would, so that's good.


EDIT:  There are some formatting issues, the "contents" box for a couple of pages got messed up, and I couldnt figure out just why.   Forgot to mention that earlier.

[tigersfan]

AWESOME! I can't thank you enough. I'll be sure to go over the whole thing today.

[keith.lamothe]

Wow, that's a lot of work (or seems to be ), thanks

[Blahness]

I'm contributing a bit, too.  Not as much as Misery, but I corrected the "Pausing the Game" section.  Please tell me if I did anything bad.
