Talk:Attribute

I'm not sure on my terminology here, I guess I played too much CoH ; p. Anyway, Passive / Active benefits from attributes. Better ideas for what to call them? This article isn't finished by a long shot, just a brain dump this morning. Gravewit


 * Corrected some things, but I think the terminology was fine Gravewit :) - LordBiro/Talk 03:05, 23 May 2005 (EST)


 * Also, how many points do you get per level? Gravewit


 * I'll add that later, I think they are in line with level until level 10... I would have to check though - LordBiro/Talk


 * You get 5 points per level until level 10 (45 points), 10 points per level until level 15 (50 points), 15 points per level until level 20 (75 points) and there are two quests which each give 15 attribute points as a reward, to make a total of 200 attribute points. roofle

one says casting time, another says activation time. None of theese sites exists yet. Since cast is in many descriptions that influence this and "activation time" is not, i vote for "cast" ["Guild Wars" "casting time"] wins a google fight against ["Guild Wars" "activation time"] with 23.200 : 573 !
 * Activation time is the term used in the game. And it is used in Skills article. Also this link is about the actual time it takes to cast a spell, not casting in general. So it has to be casting time or activation time. btw I believe the word 'cast' means the actors in a film or something like that. The actual verb for casting is 'to cast'. I vote activation time because it is used more in here and in the game itself. --Geeman 22:33, 30 Jul 2005 (EST)

Lie 1: Activation time is not used more in the game than the verb cast. But of course you have to read the skill descriotions to get that. Only "rust" says "to activate signet rings" because signets kinda get activated while spells get cast! Just tell me were the game uses "activation time" Lie 2: Just because someone used "activation time" in the skill level, wich i changed to casting time and you changed it back to Activation time, doesnt mean Activation time is better. Lie 3: The Skills Artivle is in fact much about casting in general! Lie 4: The word cast is also being used as verb. And i never saw castings in Guild Wars! Lie 5: Of course Greenman Wins a fight against Ollj, what did you expect? what does it mean? absolutely nothin!

Greenman ignores my arguments, suggestions, he lies, and vandalisms in Skills and Attributes weee.


 * I stand corrected. I checked the GW Online Manual and found out that the offical word is Casting Time. So I changed all the Activation Times in Skills Casting Time. Still, no need to get mean and start calling people names. But I still think that you should not link to 'cast' If you really want to link something, link to casting. Although there is really no need since casting is pretty much all explained in Skills. --Geeman 23:39, 30 Jul 2005 (EST)

This is too big and too complicated
Ok, this article is getting too big and too complex. Anyone wants to volunteer to clean it up? Other than you Ollj. :) --Karlos 10:29, 8 Aug 2005 (EST)

Category
Which category can this go under?
 * None, unless we come up with a category "Game Basics", "Guides" or something similar. But I wouldn't see a point in that. --Tetris L 02:20, 26 October 2005 (EST)
 * I agree with Tetris L, we don't need to categorize everything. At a certain point it just becomes pointless.  --Rainith 03:31, 26 October 2005 (EST)


 * True, we need not categorize everything. This, however, IS game terminology. --Karlos 03:48, 26 October 2005 (EST)
