User talk:Tetris L

You have a very nice site, I hope you don't mind too much that I used a fair amount of info off of it to update the skill trainers page ;) LordKestrel 18:48, 7 Jul 2005 (EST)


 * Sure, no problem. As mentioned in the credits, it is "public domain". But be aware that it there is currently an error in the list: Ranger skills Precision Shot, Tiger's Fury and Winnowing are listed with Tengen in Port Sledge, but they are actually in Droknar's Forge with Bartoch. --Tetris L 01:52, 9 Jul 2005 (EST)

Hey Tetris, I've gone through some of the boss articles you wrote, I think you must have copied some trange format, so I've altered them to match the standards :) Good work though! 01:33, 8 Jul 2005 (EST)


 * Bear with me. Today is my first Wiki day ever. Until today I had never contributed to any Wiki and I'm not really familiar with how it works and how to format articales. I've read through the basics, but I will probably need a few more days until everything fits into place. --Tetris L


 * Dont worry about it :) everyone starts like that! On another note... I noticed you added some acquisition info. Is this accurate? In an earlier patch signet of capture before a certain point was disabled (crystal desert I think). I don't know if they've removed that since they altered the way signet of capture works (i.e. killing a boss instead of capturing the last used skill), can anyone confirm this? 02:09, 8 Jul 2005 (EST)


 * Yes, you CAN use the Signet of Capture on the bosses that I listed. You get your first SoC from Magi Malaquire in Lion's Arch and you can also buy it from various skill trainers in Kryta. This is kinda pointless because you don't meet any elite bosses until you reach the Crystal Desert. That's why I looked for some non-elite skills that are actually worth capturing, because you can only get them from skill trainers or quests much later in the game (Crystal Desert or Southern Shiverpeaks). --Tetris L 02:16, 8 Jul 2005 (EST)


 * So... you can't capture elite skills until later? Or have I misunderstood. Originally you could capture any skill from any boss monster at any point in the game, once you had signet of capture. Is that still how it works? 05:18, 8 Jul 2005 (EST)


 * After re-reading I guess you mean that you don't meet any bosses with elite skills until you get to the crystal desert. The reason I bring this up is that there was a bit of debate as to whether it was possible to capture elite skills in Kryta (at the same time as you get the signet). Initially it seems you could. Lol... yeah... 05:20, 8 Jul 2005 (EST)
 * Right. Only bosses in the desert missions, southern Shiverpeaks, and fire islands have elite skills.  You can capture from any boss anywhere but you'll only find they have elites in the areas mentioned.  Tetris' point was you could get non-elite skills earlier by capturing rather than waiting to get to the quest or skill trainer.  --Fyren 05:29, 8 Jul 2005 (EST)


 * Yeah, I see that's what he was saying (now, hehe), but it did used to be the case (for a while) that pre-desert bosses used elite skills, you just couldn't capture them. And before that you could capture them as soon as you got signet of capture. 20:56, 9 Jul 2005 (EST)

Creatures
Dunno what's up with Creatures but I corrected some information and explained it on the talk page. 17:08, 12 Jul 2005 (EST)

Hey Tetris :) I think Spider should contain some of the information you've put on Category:Spider. Really category pages are just to group sub-categories and articles together. The information on them should really be in an article. For example, see :)  04:43, 14 Jul 2005 (EST)


 * Hmmmm ... dunno. I find it quite nifty to put some information directly on the category page instead of linking to it from the article with the same name. In my opinion it is somewhat redundant to have both. But if putting information on a category page violates some global Wiki standard I'll succumb to it. ;) --Tetris L 05:26, 14 Jul 2005 (EST)


 * Some information is fine on the category pages, but it's best not to have them grow into articles. Even if you start with just a small amount of information this can lead to a very large category page that dwarfs the articles it is meant to be grouping, look at the history of Category:Locations for an example of how this can get out of control :) 06:36, 14 Jul 2005 (EST)


 * I actually now see what you meant about moving Creatures to Category:Bestiary. In this case as well I think the information in Creatures would be best suited in the Bestiary article rather than the category :) I think it will be very helpful when discussing species classifications :) 06:39, 14 Jul 2005 (EST)
