User:I am 161.88, I liked better the look of the old virsion, with the horizontal lines, which match the Prophecies missions page. Foo 15:49, 22 May 2006 (CDT)
 * I couldn't disagree more. In Prophecies, each horizontal rule covered a section where you usually had three or more missions per section.  In Factions, the way it flows in the overview, you only have one to two missions per section.  It really gave the visual effect of clutter having them that frequent.  As it stands now, the horizontal rule is more sparingly used as section headings; then subsections identified in bold.  To me, this is a much cleaner appearance. --I am 161.88 16:00, 22 May 2006 (CDT)
 * Considering that there are more quests notes to be writen, I would rather have the lines, and match it to the Prophecies page. Foo 16:10, 22 May 2006 (CDT)
 * Actually, I would rather see it the other way around. The Prophecies list should be reworked to match the Factions format, which would also give it a cleaner look. --I am 161.88 16:14, 22 May 2006 (CDT)
 * I'd have to agree with 161.88, I like the new format better at least for Factions, especially since there is only 1 or 2 missions in many areas, and even with the notes would be far too cluttered with the additional lines. --Chrono traveller 18:06, 22 May 2006 (CDT)

While I appreciate the filling in of information on Shing Jea Island, I found the old format to be easier to navigate and more useful in gathering information about the Factions campaign. Also the older format just looked better to me and seemed to be more in style with the rest of the articles. Lostinafog 00:45, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Search and Find
It's really troublesome to find those missions overviews. 'missions overview' won't bring any results. Why isn't the guildwiki search engine smart and offers similar hits? This should be renamed to 'Missions overview (Factions)' anyway --Birchwooda Treehug 09:30, 13 July 2007 (CDT)

Suggestion: Shing Jae Island Expansion
I've noticed a discrepancy between the Mission Overview pages. The Nightfall version is much more specific and concise. Despite this it seems much more thorough because it starts - literally - with the tutorial and continues until the game is beaten. All quests and missions that must be completed in order to proceed are specifically listed. This is not the case for Factions. There are comments about what you need to do, but no specific step by step listing as in Nightfall. I realize they're different products and have a different story path, but something more specific for Shing Jae (at the very least) is needed. And while I could be mistaken, I do not recall a reference to the Mission Overview on the main Factions entry. Suggestions? Commentary? -- Sabardeyn 11:02, 6 February 2008 (UTC)


 * My suggestion is: Be bold and fix it --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG]]-- (s)talkpage 11:05, 6 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Fixed. And for those from the Nightfall guide discussion, do not remove the green background.  Without the borders visible, stuff will be just "floating" around and you won't be able to follow anything.  Leave the grid alone, or invert it if you wish (white BG/green borders, inner and outer).
