Talk:Basic Strategy

Great Idea

Hey, excellent idea for a page! In my experience this is definitely something new players have trouble with. Maybe we can get an admin to link it from the main page? --Culix 19:38, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

spoiler-free?

A page like this is probably very useful; however, it seems the intention here is to keep things relatively general and non-specific.

If the intention is to keep this particular page free from hard figures and direct numbers, I'd think it best to clearly say so on the page itself.

Let's have an example to clarify what I'm talking about here:

The page tells the reader "After you play even one or two games, you should have a feeling for which locations are most 'haunted'". If this were a Wikipedia page, I'd argue that's a teaser, and not encyclopedic information. A true wiki paragraph would instead tell you exactly which six (or so) locations where gates happen most frequently (possibly updating the list for each expansion), and directly tell the reader to focus any sealing efforts to those locations, even to the point of not sealing other locations.

Same with Luck vs. Lore - which are the "certain locations" you're talking about? Yo'all get the idea...

Again, I'm aware this isn't Wikipedia, so feel free to keep things vague and mysterious. But please then say so up-front. Thanks! CapnZapp 16:40, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
