Nightfall Builds
Whats the deal with "candidate for deletion" on Nightfall based builds. Theres no warranting a delete, once the game comes out those builds simply need to be updated with the current content. This would be a totally backwards way to approach thinking ahead of the curve. I'd rather see build ideas that were explored already during the FPE event listed, and then simple updated, rather then deleting all the research the community already put into the product. --Amokk 15:44, 22 August 2006 (CDT)
 * as i explained on Talk:D/N Dwayna's Curse, these builds will be useful for four days over four months, and will undoubtedly require updates at every juction. they should not have been created, but i ignored it. when skuld started placing tags on them i realized that they should have had tags on day one, durring the weekend. --Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 15:50, 22 August 2006 (CDT)
 * I think your missing something in your reasoning. Techniqually you should go and delete every Nightfall skill from guild wiki from my understanding of your statement.  If Guild Wiki is ever to properly become oriented with the community, much less the PvP community, it has to keep up with what is happening in said community and the builds that community is designing.  If anything Nightfall based builds should be labeled a "Work In Progress" and allowed to stand until final release of the game unless completely vetted out by the community veterans as rubbish before hand.--Amokk 16:09, 22 August 2006 (CDT)
 * i didn't say anything was rubbish, just that it was not useful. those builds might be the best in the universe, but they cannot be used, tested, or improved until release. as you point out, the skills are certainly going to change, and while skill pages can be updated by simply coping the text out of the game, builds have subtle interactions that will, most likely, need extensive evaluation in the very likely event that the skills are changed. evaluation that could be better used on existing untested builds. "the community" has no way of testing these builds either, unless you are refering to anet's beta community, who assuredly has offical information that is far superior to ours. --Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 16:20, 22 August 2006 (CDT)
