New player's observations[edit]
Even as a Wizard using Invisibility I would get seen, I would kill, then cloak. It also seemed Expeditious Retreat on my boots allowed me to lose agro. ⇒ Allenmorris (Contribs • Message • Email)
- You don't so much "get seen" as "get heard/sensed". Invisibility is good, but not all-powerful. If you get too close (one man-height?), you are "spotted", and likewise if you are heard (at a greater distance, depends on the mob). (And some creatures, such as spiders and scorps, have "tremor sense" - they "feel" you walking nearby, done deal.) As for the aggro, many mobs have a max "range" that they'll chase you, and/or an area within the quest they limit themselves to - outside of that, you've got away clean. Doesn't change Dungeon Alert, tho' (which you pro'ly (partially?) controlled by selective killing). ⇒ C-Hound (Contribs • Message • Email) 17:25, March 13, 2019 (EDT)
Bickering / nagging about semantics[edit]
I have seen the entry "Lost Quest Guide" there, taking it literally at first. It was a quest guide that was lost, then found again, and linked at in the Wiki. Pages get lost in the course of time in the internet. Glad that someone had found it again ! I thought. But how did it get lost in the first place ? Something was bickering in the back of my mind.
In the forums, however, I found that this guide was posted by a forum member who named himself or herself "Lost".
Seeing that, I changed the entry into "Lost's Guide", since Lost was a person who had done it. Therefore, I thought that changing it into "Lost's" would clearly indicate that it had come from that person.
Now I see that it is changed into "Lost Guide" again. Which makes not much sense to me, under the impression of what I've written above.
It could be, I thought, that "Lost Guide" is the title of a series of guides made by that forum user called Lost, and from that point of view, it might even be right. As a title. However, since I don't watch YouTube anymore - I've become far more sensitive regarding spending/spreading data about me - I just can't tell. So I'm kind of dependent on the reasons of other contributors.
I won't touch that new change, but for the future I will reserve myself to writing in a similar style. If someone changes my own works from "Alrik's Works" into "Alrik Works", then I might protest or even write a satire about it. ⇒ Alrik (Contribs • Message • Email) 03:47, May 25, 2019 (EDT)
- Hi, don't be upset, it's a wiki, people change stuff. For the record, the thread is called "The Lost Quest Guide" written by a person called Lost_Leader. Perhaps we should use "The Lost Quest Guide". --⇒ Cru121 (Contribs • Message • Email) 05:22, May 25, 2019 (EDT)
- Exactly - and that would make sense, altho' a "The..." is often assumed in many contexts, this one included.. On a higher level, on most any Wiki, if an edit gets reversed (with reasons posted), the /talk page is the place to expand (calmly) on the reasoning to keep the original, and find consensus (or, as here, possibly a dialectic process resulting in synthesis). This isn't "bickering", and it certainly isn't "nagging" (not sure where that came from), it's just how a Wiki works. ⇒ C-Hound (Contribs • Message • Email) 05:56, May 25, 2019 (EDT)
