Mario Tennis Music
Failed to find the specific mp3, but found the music files as a whole if that counts. 19:19, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Now I need to find a way to convert those to a more universal format... [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 20:30, 14 August 2008 (UTC)


 * 1. Or just: Use WimAmp. It can convert GBS files to WAV. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage  20:36, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
 * WAV is a hugely inefficient format which takes up gobs and gobs of space. But I can convert WAV to MP3. I wonder if that much conversion will break something. Thanks in any case. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 20:39, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I would've screwed something up trying to convert them. Glad I didn't try. [[Image:Rsz_PLSig.jpg‎]] 00:38, 15 August 2008 (UTC)


 * I don't think you can lose any quality when you convert from a lossy format to WAV, since uncompressed formats are lossless by default, but you will of course lose a little bit when you compress the WAV to MP3. However, I don't know anything about GBS format - it may be an uncompressed format to begin with, in which case the conversion to WAV should be completely lossless.  And you can always use a lossless compression like FLAC so that you don't lose anything in the (re)compression, either.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 01:01, 15 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Random note - Vista / Windows Media Player 11 is a bitch to navigate. All I want to do is add .FLAC to the list of extentions WMP can play, but is it easy to do? Nooo.... even though I have the codecs and I can open them manually, it's so annoying. And WMP hates .FLAC anyw ay, causes major errors whenever you try to skip ahead in a track (as if you were on YouTube and video didn't completely load yet). Sux. I just want to listen to Prophecies music, but this makes it so complicated. >.> WinAmp is cool but it's not free if you want conversion utilities...and imho, everything is too small/hard to work with. I had Meridian for .GBS files, but apparently the authors lost the source code so it's broken now. Bah.
 * So - anyone have a free converter for .GBS to .WAV/.MP3? Anyone know how to open that magic window where you can associate extentions with WMP?...I tried to do a reinstall, because that's where you first see it, but apparently it cannot be uninstalled now. :\ [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 01:47, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Spot the Reference
The Answer (42 obvious HGttG reference) + 4,123,891,318th digit of Pi - grand total of Water and Ghost-type Pokemon over all series (54, unless you're including half water/ghost pokemon) * total health of the Pokey Statue(99,999,999) + Numeric name of a legendary Final Fantasy weapon(2, from Excalibur 2 or Javelin "II" or Tiptaptwo? 7, from Seventh Heaven?  100, from Masamune 100?  Probably none of them...). Raised to the power of the number of candles in the Shadow Queen's lair(6). Divided by the AP cost of Luminaire + Bahamut summon in FFIV (What about it?).

((((((42+PiDigit-54)*99,999,999)+FFWep#)^6)/LuminareAP)+BahamutSummon)

How wrong am I? Too tired to finish, I'll try and finish it tomorrow, unless someone does it for me. --Totally Imbalanced 05:16, 26 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Correct, no answer, I'll take any Water/Ghost even if it's not pure type, correct (although depends on version, I heard), incorrect weapon but you get the idea, wrong Shadow Queen (iirc), Luminaire is not from Final Fantasy, sum its AP cost with the MP cost of Rydia's Bahamut summon in FFIV.
 * A nice start though. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 05:27, 26 August 2008 (UTC)


 * ((((((42+PiDigit-110)*99,999,999)+FFWep#)^6)/LuminareAP)+60) ... I'm trying to find a way to figure out the Pi one, short of downloading all the digits between 4billion and 5billion and sorting through it ... All I can find on Luminare is it's MP, and I still don't know the FF weapon ... Oh well, I have all day


 * OK, MP cost, I forget sometimes since many different measurements exist. AP, MP, SP, and more weird ones... The FF weapon is obscure because it's from older game. Also I am pretty sure there are more than six candles, otherwise the synchronized "lights out" wouldn't look impressive at all. (like the scene in Kung Fu Panda, if you saw that movie). [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 13:08, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
 * By the way, Luminaire is in Chrono Cross too. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 14:32, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Such a cool-sounding/looking move, but I tend to use Confuse instead... Does it have a different AP cost in CC as opposed to CT? I've never got my hands on CC yet. For the purposes of this riddle I want the cost in Chrono Trigger. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 17:23, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
 * The entire skill system in CC is radically different; I don't recall if they even used AP at all. It was a good game as RPGs go, and quite attractive graphically too. Unfortunately, I bought my copy used, and the first disc had a scratch that froze the half-game cinematic. I was SO close to disc 2, but I never got there. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 17:25, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Hmm, so maybe I should get PS emulator eventually, as much as I hate them. I feel for you...it's not cool being Error 007'd while fighting Disc of Chaos after slogging through at 60% DP for 2hr. (at Norn: "If you trade hits, you will die." <- sage advice) I've also done some long dungeons in other RPG just to have the game crash because I accidentally touched the Gameboy...or such. :\ I wish all games had "save state" capability like you can do on some emulator, it makes disaster recovery so much easier. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 17:30, 26 August 2008 (UTC)


 * ((((((42+PiDigit-110)*99,999,999)+FFWep#)^45)/(20+60) ... Is it 45? The scene I was talking about before was when you were actually fighting her in Paper Mario Two.  Still can't find the FF weapon (is it in another language?), and I'm about to resort to downloading the 4,100,000,000th through 4,200,000,000th digits of pi, and just sorting through them.--Totally Imbalanced 20:10, 26 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, before the fight begins, during the cutscene there should be a whole lot more. Right?...The FF weapon is from an older Final Fantasy but it is in English, though the game is obscure. There are...easier ways to get Pi digits. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 01:14, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

((((((42+7-110)*99,999,999)+7)^Candles)/(20+60) ...Finally found the FF weapon. only missed it before because I was looking at normal FF games, and totally skiped over FF Legend II. Ended up downloading 100mil digits of pi and found 7. Having a hard time with the candles ... My only access to the queen's room is through Youtube videos, and it's hard to get a good count due to fast camera movement and crappy framerate ... Total equation (before Candle input, but whatever); (-6099999932^candles)/80 Someone finish it ... In doing this, I've had to download and sort through 100mil digits of pi, sort through 21 Final Fantasy full item lists, gotten an oddly bad (bad meaning crappy) virus that somehow got through my defenses, and download a new malware program to remove said virus. --Totally Imbalanced 23:34, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Which are in your opinion the top 4 games (this is actually very tough for me). --Shadowcrest 21:01, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Twilight Princess, Ocarina of Time, Link's Awakening, Oracle of Seasons were my four most favorites, in no particular order. I'd have to say that overall, I would rank Twilight Princess and Ocarina of Time as the top two, but can't decide which. Why is that? Well...it's just way, way different playing on console than on little piddly handheld. The experience is so much more immersive.

Oracle of Ages is a good enough game, but the sheer increase in difficulty compared to Oracle of Seasons is really off-putting, since it isn't appreciably more entertaining as a result.

Wind Waker is...different...from other Zelda games. It's a great game, don't get me wrong. But I don't think it is really a fair comparison to any of the others. It definitely earns mad points for hilarity, but that's not all a Zelda game should have.

A Link to the Past is a classic, but at the same time that hinders how I can rate it. It is one of the best Zelda games in terms of completeness and execution, but I've never particularly cared for it as a "fun to play" game.

Minish Cap was a great comeback and a very good game. But it didn't have that same sort of retro, rock'n'roll, good time fun feel that I get from some of the older Zelda handhelds. Kinstone Fusions was BS too.

The original Zelda is a classic in terms of laying groundwork for future games, but unless you are really into retro gaming it can't possibly be considered a great game by today's standards of graphics, music, controls, etc. It's just too old.

Link's Adventure was major lulz ("Link // The time has come // To save -- the Princess Zelda! // ...and now the children don't play..." oh god, that song was so epic, they should have put it in Brawl). Link's Crossbow Training hardly counts as a complete game. Four Swords is a remake of A Link to the Past.

...I could explain more if you wanted. (T/C) 01:24, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Too bad there isn't one for Marin grabbing the Trendy Game Guy. :) Good times...I'm also very fond of Red Clothes + Piece of Power = crazy fast kills on some bosses :) It really was a great game wasn't it.

 * Well in that case, eBay. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 02:46, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I bought mine from eBay. It was uber cheap, so now they must be like $1.00 . My personal favorite bugs were Flying Rooster + Boomerang and...stealing from the shop. "I wasn't kidding when I said to pay! And now you'll pay the ultimate price!" *BZZZZT* "That's a naughty boy, THIEF! Who taught you to look in other people's drawers?" ... one time I started a game using a different name, so in the opening scene it went thus: Tarin: Ho there, Tarin! You're up! How did I know your name? Well...I saw it on the back of this here shield!" ...even though it's not really that funny, I was laughing for hours. And yes, I spent some of my finest Zelda hours farming the bushes. Grass cutting in Link's Awakening puts grass cutting in any other game to shame. :> Except for maybe at the Fish Pond in Twilight Princess, when you run out of Rupees from playing the stupid marble game. :| [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 03:04, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I ask because it was interesting that at Zeldapedia most of the people said Majora's Mask was their favorite, and- since I knew you had played most (if not all) of them- I asked you, and I find even more interesting that you didn't even mention it. I thought people wouldn't think it was a top game just because of how unrelated it is to the rest of the games... at least all the other N64/GC games had a connected storyline. It was fun, yeah, but I didn't think it would be rated top. I never played the Oracle games... my friend Kyle had one of them (I forget which, though I think Seasons) long ago, but I was never interested enough to get it myself. All I really saw was Subrosia, and for some reason I really didn't feel like getting it after seeing it.
 * I don't know which I have in the top four- all I can definitively place are Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess. The other 3 I have in consideration are Link to the Past, Majora's Mask, and Wind Waker. I loved playing all of them. The original LoZ was bleh (so I herd Dodongo dislikes smoke, hbu?), and Phantom Hourglass was fun, but it wasn't great (I hated Tetra anyway). I have Link's Awakening (in the Eagle Tower I think it's called), but I haven't touched it in ages. I have Four Swords, but I didn't finish it (and then lost my large GC memory card, so now I can't anyway), but I relatively enjoyed what I did play. I need Minish Cap still, and I agree that Link's Crossbow Training doesn't count. --Shadowcrest 00:03, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I HATED Majora's Mask! Hated it so much. Having to reset everything every few hours was the most miserable experience of my life. Such a bad game. I never even finished it, I just watched my little brother finish it. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 00:04, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
 * See Felix's comment. The game itself isn't inherently bad, but it's just too...un-Zelda. There are fun quirks, of course - no other Zelda game lets you transform into a Deku scrub, Goron, Zora, or the ubercool Fierce Deity Link. Still, those are rather petty consolations for a game that has...


 * Lame-ass music compared to nearly any other Zelda.
 * Incomprehensible storyline and almost no relation to other Zelda games.
 * No Ocarina :\ (iirc)
 * Lack of FUN.
 * Disappointing resolution at the end. Who the hell cares about lonely Skull Kid?
 * Appearance of Tingle. (iirc)
 * Bleh. Anyway - Subrosia is only in Seasons. It's a fun place. I think one thing which really misses for Majora's Mask is that it doesn't feel epic like other Zelda do at times. It feels like "some damn fool crusade", as Obi-Wan would say, for no real purpose. I just have this distinct lack of motivation to ever continue in Majora's Mask. I will concede, though, that the final boss fight is quite a bit more challenging than some others in the series. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 14:31, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Ages was the harder one, right? MM has an ocarina; it even changes into pipes, drums, and a guitar. And it had the ballad of the wind fish- I can't tell you how many times I've sang that song in my head. But the Elegy of Emptyness was the most ugly, annoying song... and we had to play it a billion times in that idiotic dungeon. Why isn't it fun? Other than resetting every three days, I liked it a lot. Tingle is lulz (except for when he's a cheap bastard in WW). Tingle Tingle kooloo limPAH! imo. Ganon is always noob, and when I played MM 10 million years ago I *had* to use the FD mask to beat Majora. Also, you forgot that game's severe lack of Zelda. She only appears in a stupid cutscene reteaching forgetful Link the Song of Time. At least nowadays she shoots arrows or uses magic or something. --<font face="vivaldi" size="3" color="Steelblue">Shadowcrest  22:26, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, a Zelda game without Zelda! How awesome is that? MM is horrible, or maybe I just suck because I can't get past the 3rd dungeon in that game -_-. I happened to enjoy Ages more than Seasons though. Cress Arvein [[Image:Cress sig.JPG]] 22:48, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I liked Ages more too, although that may just be because it was the one I played first. <3 Nayru, <3 Din. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 01:19, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * No Magic Boomerang. No Roc's Cape. No Magnet Gloves. Hyper Slingshot >>>> Seed Shooter. "Time Warp" theme isn't as effectively or creatively done as I believe the seasons theme was. I will grant that Veran is a much more fun boss fight since you can actually lose...well, actually, in general the Ages bosses are more challenging and hence more fun. But I still think overall the game isn't as good. Certainly there are more things I would consider "annoying yet necessary" compared to Seasons. I'll also have you know that most of the real Zelda fanbase is deadly allergic to Tingle and it is a good example of Nintendo introducing more gayness to attract more fans. In short, it is disappointing. If there ever was a chance in any game to kill Tingle, I'd do it...There is a fine line between annoying but funny (Mr. Resetti) and annoying without purpose (Tingle). Complete miss... [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 09:38, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Other than resetting every three days, I liked it a lot. If you couldn't finish a dungeon/sidequest in three days, you were really slow. If you used the Inverted Song of Time and failed you should be even more ashamed. :P -- 17:59, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Wild Blow isn't the strongest damage you could do, though. GB isn't technically "damage", but I might let things like that slide if this proves to be too difficult. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 09:19, 30 August 2008 (UTC)


 * No, but even 40 armor ignoring damage won't boost damage by 600 :P And, Decap disallows Avatar of Lyssa. We used Wild Blow/AoL because we didn't feel like restarting the whole buffing sequence every swing, just to wait for a crit (we had some Adren skills to charge, so it took a while), and since I was casting Healing Signet as he struck, AoL would deal some bonus damage. Keen Chop didn't exist yet :P
 * D/W vs W/Mo aside: Using my Sin's Scythe, I've hit 191 in one Chilling Victory, not counting additional Cold damage. And that's with Aura of Holy Might, Vow of Strength, Strength of Honor, Asuran Scan and a crit. Sure, it was an AL 60 target, but I doubt you'll be able to increase your damage by 1k by switching to weaker targets. So, GB will probably come into play to deal 1337 damage, but that's so easy. Get a Health Difference of 2674 and cast. One guy with a Vamp weapon would carry GB, and degen low. The other is enchanted beyond recognition, so he has 2700 HP (Symbiosis lols). The GB guy degens to point 26 hp and casts. Done. You can porbably get away with 3 heroes. Monk/Ranger with Symbiosis and Enchants, 3 Monk heroes, one with BR/enches and the rest with: 4 Maintained enches, and random, long lasting enches.

 * Haha, I need to wait for my new computer if I want to make a video :P My current computer has a slight lagg on screenies, let alone videos ^^" And yeah, there are many means of dealing damage. Siege hits for 8k, but I doubt you can get it to 1337 without burning daylight like mad. Or you could get 6685 HP (enches/Symbiosis again), then drag along Defiant Was Xinrae. 20% is the dmg cap, which is 1337. Spells won't deal enough damage, since you can't buff 'em enough, or they deal damage in many, many packets (old Pain of Disenchant was fun. Prog and I loaded up the Guild Lord with ~30 enches, then PoD and Gaze of Contempt. Was quite an awesome sight to behold, but the Amu of Protection kept him from dieing). At least, I think so. Anyways, there's, so far, 3 ways from my view: Infuse (Easy as pie), Grenth's Balance (requires another player and some coordination), Siege (hard numbercrunshing, need exactly 6685 hp). Well, and Flux ofcourse, but that one's excluded. Maybe I can find an Undead creature, low level with Frenzy. JI + AoHM + Vos +etcetc = gg?

 * OK, I'll show you the two easy ways...first, you can use Ebon Vanguard Sniper Support. Second, you can get owned by N.O.X. with a crazy number of bit golems active. I was getting damages easily over 1,000. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 10:49, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

 * That whole N.O.X. fight was pretty funny, because we coincidentally brought a stunning strike paragon. He never got a single attack off.  It was plain ridiculous. --Neutronium 22:17, 6 September 2008 (UTC)


 * If you grind numbers exactly perfectly, you could theoretically deal 1337 damage with Sniper Support, and N.O.X. could hit you for 1337 damage. I only said "find a way to deal 1337 damage other than Flux Matrix"; I didn't say that the player had to be the one doing it. Don't forget that Simple Thievery used to be able to steal Monster skills, too. :> [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 14:43, 7 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I thought the idea was to find a way to "deal" 1337 damage - I take that to mean that an infuse wouldn't count... I suppose you could count GB, but that seems really hard to do (and also a little bit like cheating). For the record: We came so damn close just today without using either aforementioned tactic.  I'm sure it's do-able!  Just have to find the right combo :P --Raj4h 00:39, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Wow, nice job. What was your strategy? I'll give a bigger reward for less cheap ways to do it, though like I said I'll allow any of the above. Anything except Flux Matrix. You can do Infuse or GB even though they aren't really "damage", since it is still a leet achievement. But it's less impressive. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 03:59, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * It was a guild scrimmage, using lightning orb @ 18 air magic vs an unarmored opponent with frenzy/heal sig. A guildie and I were attempting to get the biggest damage packet ever (without GB or infuse), and it just happened to work out - almost!  Our biggest packet so far is 2403.  Expect an update on that soon though --Raj4h 07:05, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

 * ^My thoughts, but not about the CA. CA doesn't work when your AL is below 60, assuming lv20. I don't know how CA functions when your AL and level are below max, though. Weaken Armor casting Devourers really feels redundant in Old Ascalon ;) --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage  12:18, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

 * According to my calculations, if you have a player who has -40 armor from Healsig, and is under Frenzy, and you have Rank 16 attribute, and you are Level 20, and you have no armor penetration...you have to deal roughly 78 base damage to reach 1337 damage. I am sure there are a bunch of skills for that. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 23:18, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

disable interwiki link
So there is this page on GW2W which is an interwiki link: Gw1:Guild_Wars_Utopia. It transfers to that page on GWW. But, when that page is linked to via their Candidates for Deletion, it says that the link is invalid or broken. However if I just go there directly it seems to work fine and I get transferred...

Now the problem is that I want to delete that page on GW2W (obviously - it's in Candidates for Deletion!), but I don't know how to access such a page and disable the redirecting or whatever is used to transfer me. &redirect=no does nothing. Any ideas?

Category:Non-orphaned articles
Why'd you change that instead of making the category and subpage for it? It's not hard. --◄mendel► 10:38, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't understand how the system works. Feel free to do it properly...all I know is that there's this subpage which shouldn't be messed with or linked to (if I understand the arguments right), and therefore it becomes an orphaned page, except it's not really because it's a subpage and it ought not to be considered possible deletion fodder, etc...? [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 14:32, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, I'm going to try to explain this clearly, and if I succeed (with your help) I can copy this to the article.
 * Orphaned pages are pages that are not linked to. This is usually an indication that they're not integrated into the wiki very well, and the way to fix it is to integrate them: think about which pages could link to it, do a wiki search for the article name, whatever it takes.
 * However, there are some exceptions. For example, we endeavour to not link to disambiguation articles, but rather link directly to the intended alternative. This can leave disambiguation pages orphaned, and that is a good thing.
 * Another common exception are pages that are transcluded onto other pages; they're usually subpages. You can link to them (some of them make good QR guides), but they're useful even if they're not linked to, and there may be no need to link them.
 * We want to remove these pages from the "orphaned pages" list so that we see more clearly which pages really need editorial attention. The idea is to create a link somewhere to make the wiki software think that the page is not lonely any more. The easiest way is to collect all those links in a special article. (Another way would be to maka a link on the including page and disguise it with display:none, which is simple if you do the inclusion via template anyway, but we currently don't do that.)
 * However, what with this wiki being quite large and transclusion being used so often, this special article got rather big and unwieldy. Many pages on that big article belonged to categories that should, as a whole, never be on the "orphaned pages" list: for example, the disambiguation pages; or all pages in one of the "subpage" categories. This offered an obvious course of action: split subpages off, one for each category. For example, the subpage Non-orphaned_articles/Disambiguation has a link to every disambiguation page. What's more, this is done automatically. If you make a new disambiguation page and place it in Category:Disambiguation (which the does for you), it will automatically appear on the list (there may be a short delay if the Wiki is busy). Of course that also happens when you add an appropriate category manually.
 * To summarize: the old procedure to make a page non-orphaned is to put a link to it on Non-orphaned_articles. (That still works, too!) The new procedure is to add the page to a category that is automatically non-orphaned.
 * If you find that you want to unorphan a page, but there is no proper category for it, the you can create one - maybe it already exists. To unorphan a category, you make a subpage off Non-orphaned_articles like the others and put the same template call on it. The template will read the subpage name and automatically make a link list for the corresponding category.
 * Pages that can't be categorized, but still ought to be taken off the orphaned pages list, can still be linked to from the article (old system) - or we create a Category:non-orphaned pages and its automatic list subpage and put all of these lonely pages in there (new system).
 * So that's basically what I suggested you might have done. ;-P --◄mendel► 17:21, 4 September 2008 (UTC)


 * So I put it in the subpages category - isn't that the right thing to do? I can remove the notice I put at the top if that is a problem. I think your explanation is a good one to put to the page, although not everyone would understand necessarily the technical parts. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 06:03, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Could you be so kind and make the "technical parts" bold or italic in my post above? --◄mendel► 09:28, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Jargon and/or things that someone new to Wikis may not understand. What do you want ME to do, though, is still my question. Your original message implies that I did something wrong, but reading through your instructions all I done was categorize the old birthday drop data as a subpage, which puts it into the non-orphans article, etc. So I am confused. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 10:49, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the highlights, I'm going to ponder them.
 * My reason for commenting was that, going by your first edit, that category seemed the natural fit for the page. I've considered "category:subpages" to only apply to pages that actually get transcluded; this one's a "legacy page" or archive if anything. Of course, technically subpages are anything with a slash in the name. You chose not to create the category & list page as I would have, but instead chose to recategorize, and I wondered why. My comment wasn't meant as a call to action.
 * But since you asked, what I would like you to do is the next time you want to use this category, to actually create it, and add the old birthday drop page in. (Hmm, maybe a better way to un-orphan the old birthday page is to actually add a link to the new page or its talk to point out that the history of the old additions is available at (link) - it doesn't help having an archive if we can't find it later). --◄mendel► 11:52, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay. I was unclear about what should have gone into the Subpages category, since I was under the impression as you say that anything with a slash in the name was a subpage. And because this seemed to be the only "legacy page", I thought it would be dumb to make a category with just that one thing in it. (Also, Template:Legacy is for GuildWars related things, not old Wiki articles.) [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 14:41, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

 * A quick reference would be something like Icon-Name-Effect-Skill data-Notes-Used by Whom-Can be Disabled? I think the reason it wasn't done like that in the first place, is because they aren't skills that can be used by players so it's not the sort of info/page that someone would come to look at. (Ie. you don't make builds with Monster skills) Also, it was started during Prophecies when there was precious few Monster skills.

The duplicate and quest boxes (next to the campaign box, under the stats box) are also completely useless for this list.  For "Used by", I was going to go through and add that to all the skill templates as a new parameter, wouldn't be all that hard - there's only 222 of them...  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 00:37, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
 * About icon size: this is going to be one of the longest skill qr articles we've got, except for the "<Profession> skills quick references", we should probably stick with the smaller icon size. &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 00:41, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
 * With the added columns, the length will be determined by the descriptions column on most screen sizes, not by the icons. At the size they ra enow, you could replace them with generic reddish and yellowish squares and no-one woul notice. If you roll your own QR, I'd just not display any of the generic monster icons. If the "disable-able" affects only very few skills, wouldn't a separate QR be better? What about "stealable"? The used-by means another parse through the current_pages.xml . --◄mendel► 01:03, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
 * No Monster skill can be stolen since they fixed the Simple Thievery (?) glitch, but I think the disabling column isn't rally needed.[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]] Entrea   [Talk]  01:10, 8 September 2008 (UTC)


 * No dump parsing required, I already got the list I need right here.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 03:27, 8 September 2008 (UTC)


 * The Disable or Interrupt-Resistant column ought to exist, and it can be a simple check or X. I believe it is important when planning strategies for harder missions and quests. For example, you can use Diversion to totally pwn any Siege Wurm type monster. But Shiro Tagachi won't be affected. What about N.O.X.? I had a great idea where you could do an epic echo chain of Blackouts to keep him permanently locked down. But I don't know if that works. Etc... [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 04:10, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Now ZAT!! was Doktor assisted homicide! I prefer the Doc's version, though of course it is still bit messy. The spacing for Effects needs to be standard (ie straight tabbed colums so Adren, Acti, Eng, etc. all line up in same horizontal position down the column). I agree with Mendel that the icons ought to be bigger. I am also wondering what would be the best way to sort...ABC by skill name? Monster used? Campaign? Allied or foe? [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 04:16, 8 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Stats width corrected - I missed where I had to assign class="stats" to the td that contained the class="skillstats" table (copying from other qr row templates). I bumped the icons up to 32px.  The default sort for DPL is by article name, and the sortable table allows you to re-sort on any column you want - of course, if you think the default DPL sort should be different, there's a couple options available for doing that, but not much.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 04:54, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Coolness. Did you ever notice that no Monster Skills do Health Sacrifice? I think it looks pretty good as is...now that I think about it, most people would logically sort by ABC skillname. Thanks Doc - and that only took you what, a few minutes? :p It's the Machine Revolution taking over! [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 05:08, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

(Reset indent) That's because the job queue still kinda sucks at the timely re-processing of pages that include templates after the template is modified. I did a null edit on Animate Undead, and now it shows up in the list. &mdash;Dr Ishmael 03:51, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually, it was because the template had "no profession" instead of "Profession:Monster" until I fixed it shortly after that post.[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]] Entrea   [Talk]  02:59, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Final(?) version
I'm done adding the mosterusedby parm to all the templates, so this table is now fully populated. I didn't include anything on disabling/interrupting right now, because I don't know any easy way to compile that information. &mdash;Dr Ishmael 18:46, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, cool. :) For disabling/interrupting...well, that would have to all be done manually, testing with Diversion and a hard interrupt etc. Some are already known as being a yes, no, or interrupt-resistant, usually noted on those pages. Others have never been tested. Some which have crazy recharge or activation (Knock, Metamorphosis, etc) don't need to be tested because it is irrelevant. Instant activation or permanent skills are also irrelevant, except maybe for disable...I guess it could be a project to work on over time, as it would comprise research in all four campaigns across all three continents, from the beginning of the game all the way to elite missions. Hehe. And of course some PvP. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 21:44, 10 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I can go ahead and put the columns into the template for those, and then you or whoever can add the parameters to the individual skill templates as the research gets compiled. Blanks will be displayed for any skills that don't have the parameters, of course.
 * Should this be moved into mainspace now/soon? Should it just replace the current tables on the Monster skill article?  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 21:58, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I vote replace the current table since it is just miles better and more up-to-date too. Put a notice with instructions on the page for people to add in info for interrupt/disable as they see fit, to each monster skillpage. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 22:27, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

My favicon is acting like a paint shaker gone berserk ( Spot the reference ), when I am on a "special" page like my Watchlist or Recent Changes it is the GuildWiki logo like I have specified in my .JS ... but when I am on any other kind of page it reverts to the Wicked Wikia W.

Interestingly, you don't need five consecutive wins... just five wins over the course of your entire life. 04:04, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Lana Irving: HA unlocked Nyzant Kreng: We should try to win this one too for a glad point Anjiru Kuro: Gogo one more for a style point Nyzant Kreng: That too Lana Irving: What are style points? Pie Wizardboy: Not in-game :P Nyzant Kreng: oh crap, hexway. We're screwed

You mean like this: ♦? I get that by pressing the back key on my mouse (far faster than the buttons up top), probably how you got yours. Also, might be relevant: mouse is a Logitech --Gimmethegepgun 03:02, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Usually you can press the forward button and only lose a few seconds of work. Well, at least in FF. I've never had a mouse with a "back" button when using IE :) But doubt IE doesn't have that. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage  06:29, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Mouse back/forward buttons work with IE and Firefox, yeh. As well as Windows Explorer (you know, that thing with all the folders in it). Weather or not you can press forward to get your typed data back depends both on your cache settings, I think, as well as the website you're on... I know on some websites, if I click to far ahead when I'm writing, I can just go back a page and have it all still there. Some other websites will send you back to an empty page.
 * And yes, I also own a Logitech mouse with back/forward buttons, although I generally just use Alt + left arrow/right arrow to navigate. (and if I'm in the mood to make everything harder, I can edit on my tablet, which has back and forward buttons on the edge of it.) --[[image:GEO-logo.png]]<font color="#237d00"> Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> <font color="#237d00">.cнаt^  10:39, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

 * It hasn't worked for me since Wikia took over, actually. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 08:06, 14 September 2008 (UTC)


 * It mostly works for me in FF3. Look at the page source of the article you're viewing, somewhere near the top you should find

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://images.wikia.com/gw/images/6/64/Favicon.ico" />
 * Go and load http://images.wikia.com/gw/images/6/64/Favicon.ico now, do you see the correct icon? If not, your browser has the wrong one cached, reload it.
 * Do you have custom JavaScript rewriting the icon? IE7 only sees the correct icon after the Wikia Javascript has updated it, before that, it shows the explorer icon. --◄mendel► 08:13, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * The correct icon displays for me at that link. My .JS does this:

I never see the IE icon unless I am editing a page or such. I see the Wicked Wikia W while looking at pages normally; and the GuildWiki icon when I am on a Special: type page. (T/C) 11:38, 14 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Now I broke it completely and I never get any icon except for IE Error on normal pages. :( The normal Favicon will show up briefly sometimes, and also appears when I am not logged in. But I prefer the .png image that I have listed there, since it's bigger, clearer, and transparant background. The favicon has whitespace background. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 11:50, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

 * I don't recall using any .css or .js hack to change my favicon, myself. However, it is usually the swords-and-shield, and sometimes switches to the Wicked Wikia W. Using FF 2 here. Still, I prefer FF over IE, for several reasons. One being the tabs-on-startup: I start where I left off the other day. It's lovely. Don't know if IE has implemented that by now, but when I switched it hadn't. And you get ABP/ChatZilla. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage  12:20, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

 * I know. I don't want the 64 image though...and now, Wikia changed something where images are stored in some totally new place, which is like nocookies.wikia.net or such.

 * Yes, I'm aware of that. But they aren't usually the ones active when I am active, so I forget. Here is a question for you: have you ever found some combination of effects which will "GuildWars-ize" an image, to look like a skill icon? Sometimes you can make a really nice icon, but it is terribly obvious that something in it doesn't belong because it just stands out too much. Also, wtb easy way to remove some of the excessive color overlay on skills. I know they are colored based on profession, but some are really hard to edit because of too much R/G/B/some other color mixed in everywhere.

 * A good way to make an image less blue or whatever is to manipulate the color channels separately (much like gamma, but with curves). You can also selectively reduce contrast that way. Don't ask me how that's done on PS, though. --◄mendel► 17:03, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

 * GuildWars-ize? One suggestion would be to "colorize" the picture; press Ctrl + U to bring up the Hue/Saturation sliders, then check off the Colorize button. You can match to a profession in that way.
 * Another trick would be in the Filters; you can use things like "Cutout" to simplify edges and whatnot, kinda emulate the simpler skill icon designs perhaps. There's a few other filters worth messing about with as well.
 * And a bit of an expansion to the first suggestion; if you copy the entire icon, then paste it again as a duplicate layer, you can colorize it, then tone down the opacity a bit (maybe 75% or so). That way, you change the general color of the whole icon, but you can retain a bit of the other colors you might have in the image (in case you don't want the entire image to be just blue, for example). With a second duplicate layer like that, you could also erase little bits of it to let effects from the previous layer "shine through" (say, if you wanted to use a "Cutout" Filter, but not on the entire image). --[[image:GEO-logo.png]]<font color="#237d00"> Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> <font color="#237d00">.cнаt^  14:18, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

While the main purpose of this is to exercise my creativity and Photoshop skills, it is always nice to get feedback on your work.

 * Thought you'd do something like that (making it a signet). Not a lot more options, with just a floating Ankh, I suppose. Imo, it looks like an azure, fossilised (or is that with a Z?) Ankh, and looks good in that perspective :) So, I conclude: Good job. Now if only the skill was balanced ^^' Possible 201hp heal on a 1/2 cast, 5 rech, no cost? And affected by Mantra of Inscriptions.. Wow. Strong. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage  13:48, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I appreciate it! But, it is a 1 second cast (easier to dshot), recharges slower than WoH (without MoI), and heals for less overall because of Divine Favor. I had a "you lose 5 energy on the conditional heal" but then in comparison with WoH it would be way too hard a choice. WoH really does need to be (slightly) nerfed. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 19:45, 17 September 2008 (UTC)


 * As you said yourself, Divine Favor goes to complete shit when your elite is in no way, whatsoever affected by it. Thus, it has a 1⁄2sec activation timer in any serious build using it, making it actually quite a hell to DShot, let alone not be overpowered. Because it's free, you can actually gain Energy with it, thus fuelling PS/SB just that bit more. Sure, it takes a slot on your Para, but hey, they're always the toolboxes of the party. I suppose this completely supports your theory of starting off overpowered beyond recognition to somewhere along the lines of balance, even though that second step may or may not ever be taken, since most skills still have a huge AoE effect. Sure, they can be interru.. Wait, not really these days, unless you carry a convenient disabling effect. Of course, in the hopes they're not wailing on you with certain skills. I'm rambling on too much again. Sorry for littering your already long talk page with a lot of links and rather meaningless conversation.

 * I appreciate litter, it helps me to...no, wait. :\ Hmm. Maybe I should bind it to Divine Favor so that a Mes can't outheal a Monk. That's the biggest advantage, I guess...But if it is tied to DF, then only Monks could use it, and it becomes inferior to WoH since it doesn't get the DF bonus, especially if I try to balance it by adding in a conditional -5 energy...etc. Hm. I guess Izzy's job can get difficult sometimes.
 * About huge AoE effects, I consider them justified if they also detriment your own party. The times when it doesn't matter is the times when you don't need that kind of power...for example, you can repeatedly use Solar Flare to wtfpwn everything, and keep coming back at 60% DP. However if you are Vanquishing it's pretty bad idea, and it doesn't work in PvP (you'd get a "draw"), and in most missions and some hard quests it would be suicide.

 * I do not understand. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 02:15, 18 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Leviathan is bigger than Frostmaw, and I think only Abaddon tops that. Jormungand is ~Maw's, if not smaller as stated above. +1 for Mallyx, btw. Apes with big domoge... And he drops a green Banana Scythe. Come on. Can't top that. Besides, Hexes/Conditions are rather gg against him, iirc he heals for 500 per? Good luck. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage  12:37, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 * So I guess the Leviathan is definitely the biggest creature in the game except for Abaddon. (I don't like to include Abaddon because he's basically a giant wall >.>) Someone should try and get a better screenshot for size comparison next time they are in The Deep...one that's like the [[Image:Maw The Mountain Heart.JPG]] screenshot, that REALLY shows the size. :> Actually, I'd also say the same for Jormungand and Frostmaw - it's hard to tell how big they are exactly.
 * Mallyx is very strong, but are you sure he could take out Shiro from Factions? Or N.O.X.? My thinking so far is that Shiro would end up near the last foes since he has the Impossible Odds and the other skill which gives him great survivability unless you've got very strong anti-melee - which none of the others really have (eg. Shadow of Fear, Reckless Haste, Price of Failure, Spirit of Failure, blind, etc.) However if he entered Meditation of the Reaper he would be dead soon. And if N.O.X.'s Bit Golems are ignored - which they may be since most don't aggro - then he would whip out a N.O.X Fire for 1000+ AoE damage. But even barring that, no strong anti-caster hate either like Daze.
 * I had Kanaxai and Cyndr the Mountain Heart on the list, but I realized they would be automatic winners because (1) Kanaxai needs to be knocked down, which few can do and (2) Cyndr could only be damaged by Lifesteal, which I think only Shiro has. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 15:01, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Words of Madness, Entrea. I can get a proportion shot of Leviathian one of these days, but iirc he's not larger than Frostmaw. Viper's memory can't be trusted since he took Channeling Magic on a smiting monk. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 23:54, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, Abaddon has daze, but he's a pushover in any other respect, so he'd be SCREWED if NOX knocked at his door. [[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]] Entrea   [Talk]  00:00, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

In response: "Mallyx is very strong, but are you sure he could take out Shiro from Factions? Or N.O.X.?"

Ofcourse he can take on N.O.X.. If you compare damage output, Mallyx goes far and wide beyond him for as far as my memory serves me. Besides, N.O.X. has to channeltank Mallyx for 10 seconds to deal ~300 damage (approximation, don't know AL of Mallyx). Wooptydoo? Another fun thing is NOX Phantom (or w/e it is). Hexes against Mallyx. lold. NOX is enchanted by the Rectifier golems, thus NOX will get a skill disabled (Banish Enchantment). Oh, and Mallyx + Impossible Odds'ing Shiro is gonna be great. Shiro strikes all Nearby foes. Mallyx draws everyone adjacent to him. Obaby.

Felix, shut it already.

Shiro would be rolling if he'd enter Meditation, actually. He'd wipe out almost every Bit Golem, thus basically nullifying NOX, and dealing armor ignoring, life stealing damage to the others. Unless he's Wild Smash'd by Mallyx, that is. --- -- (s)talkpage  18:49, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
 * But Nox could knock Shiro out of mediation in a matter of seconds. Nearly all of his skills do at least 500. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 19:00, 19 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Depends on who he's knocking. Remember there are ~30 bosses fighting in an area (probably roughly the size of North Kryta Province). Random comment: The Meatwad-king would be rolled. Monsters lack attributes, and that's about the worst he can do; screw with attributes. He doesn't even hit for an insane load of damage, and has a low amount of HP. Same goes for a lot of these, actually. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage  19:06, 19 September 2008 (UTC)


 * There is always the off-chance that one of them gets ignored, and then may win. Shiro could spam Echoing Banishment on Mallyx. :> Remember that if N.O.X. builds up enough Bit Golems, he can reach damage in the thousands. It is all a matter of chance.

Since many other people do not, I can only surmise that the reason lies with the OP - many people find that after a time they get bored with whatever game they play and move on. It's the course of the world. If all you're playing for are rewards you're not satisfied with, I suggest reexaming your attachment to the game. Lest this be understaood as "bashing" again, I mean it when I say that this is perfectly natural - to fall out of love with a game you've immersed yourself in, and I intend no personal criticism by suggesting that this might be the case here. --◄mendel► 08:45, 19 September 2008 (UTC) & 08:50, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
