Talk:Circle of Thorns

Relative major editing overhaul

Hey guys, don't take the edits personally, you added fantastic information that is priceless. I did want to standardize the format, though. For example, some of the powers were bulleted, some where indented, and some didn't have any kind of formatting applied (I prefer no formatting, using the icon itself as the bullet). Also, I removed all of the sigs (this is recorded in the article's history) and notes (those belong here, not in the article itself). I also spelled out all effects (I prefer "Damage over Time" to "DoT" since non-RPG'ers may be reading the articles) and corrected some grammatical, spelling, and capitalization errors.

I still plan to tweak the article some, and at some point, I'll add some images of the enemies themselves. Maybe this article will eventually serve as the template to use as all villain group articles.

Editing

Hi there!

Wow, I think that´s adressed to me!

I´ll try to explain myself:

-Gramatical errors: Well, I have been copying literally mob info and attacks, including MMO slang (DoT, AoE and such)...didn´t stop to think someone could not understand it, you are right. I can put the whole words instead of acronyms, it´s no problem =) Kept the gramatical errors in the hope that we could make a list someday with all of them and send it to the devs, rather than report the errors one by one... It´s more likely than they will adress the issue that way, IMHO =) Anyways don´t worry...between those errors already in game text and the new ones I have made now in the section while copying, I´m sure mostly everything has errors now. Being a non-English speaker doesen´t help much, either...=P

-Added signature: I know how things are in the Net. Sooner or later, someone comes and flames the site saying mob A can´t have this or that attack, mob B can´t be like that...etc, etc, etc... Well: this way they have the responsible for the comments just there (that´s me). I´ll be very pleased to prove what I have said here is true, as I keep screenshots of everything =). That way, problem solved.

-Images and graphics: Let´s not fool ourselves: when it comes to computers I´m still in the Stone Age. I wouldn´t be able to program a computer even if my life would depend of it. Sad but true =/. That means that I do the things the simplest way I can...the one I understand, thats is =). I don`t know if I have done things right here...All I can say in my defense is that all seemed to work... Anyways I´ll be pleased if someone checks the info I provide and makes sure images are linked correctly and all that technical/programming voodoo =P Please someone check the images, as there´s still a ton of info to come! =)

Well, apologies for the errors...will be doing the things better from now on =)

And just a last thing: Please open new sections for more villain groups: Nemesis, Crey, Malta...everything. We are going to need them soon =D

Ah, and just in case:

- I can be found at @Yakovlev, and I always play in Pinnacle server. Just send a tell if I can be of help =)

Couple things more

Just two things I forgot to mention:

-Named mobs: I use this title over "Named Bosses" because some named mobs are Lieutenants and even Minions. Well, anyways something should be done about that section. My list of named mobs for the Circle of Thorns has 48 names on it...and that´s now that I have barely started to explore CoV: expect some more to come. Other groups like Malta or Nemesis have similar numbers, while The Council has a whooping 109 names in my list. Nedless to say, adding such ammount of names could screw the page for dubiously useful information...perhaps the nameds mobs should be added in another page, or their own section, or something.

-Images: ¿Can´t we use the little portraits which show up at the mob info in game? They would take little space to upload and seem good enough to me. Putting them aside by the mob´s name would complement the info...What do you think about it? =)
