Talk:Mission overviews (Prophecies)/archive 1

Is it really neccessary for the mission pages to have a disambiguation between "mission" and "location," as many here do? By "location" I assume the outpost itself is meant--in which case, a combined page could have a short paragraph on what the outpost connects to and which NPCs it has, and the rest of it would be the mission information. Splitting each mission into two articles seems redundant, as there is little info that can be put on a "Location" page. --Arc 05:19, 25 May 2005 (EST)

While there may be less info for a location page, there needs to be info such as which characters are there and what shops are there. Also, think about categorical information; should an article on both a location and a mission be classed as a member in the location and mission categories? You might think that's reasonable, but those of us who started filling in mission articles didn't. And I still think there is a need for 2 seperate pages :) 02:19, 16 Jun 2005 (EST)

Redirection: "mission", "missions"
Anyone opposed to having redirects for these terms to this entry? Or possibly renaming this entry to simple "Mission"?--Jackel 23:08, 14 Jul 2005 (EST)


 * I think Mission and Mission sshould explain what a mission is and then point the player to this list of mission overviews. Just like an article explaining what a Skill is an a list of all skills in the game. --Karlos 14:08, 29 Jul 2005 (EST)

Links in the sub-headings
I don't like the links in the sub-headings for each region. Anyone else with me? :) --Karlos 14:08, 29 Jul 2005 (EST)
 * Well, it does look ugly. Perhaps find another way to link them?  --Fyren 21:00, 29 Jul 2005 (EST)

Love the map, hate the descriptions
This is why one should not undertake such a huge re-writing of such a major page without talking first. I am against the mission descriptions under the name of each mission. I think they are subjective. I think they are a duplication of the mission description in the mission article unnecessarily. I prefer we keep the missions listed, and if the user really wants to know which is which, he can always click on the mission link. I also think they do not always make much sense because of how the overall plot in Guild Wars shifts from Ascalon to fighting the undead to fighting the Mantle to Ascension to the Prophecies.

I love the map, I think it should be moved to the bottom, though. One day we will make it interactive and linking to all missions below. Great work on that. :) --Karlos 11:15, 30 Aug 2005 (EST)
