Is this totally out of place?'-' It seems like every section gets one of these, and I have my moods with updating BG-wiki occasionally. Currently I was looking at Walk of Echoes, (I think Eldelphia was too? Is that her name? idfk) ANYWAYS despite being limited to running 7/9/11 I was curious about a few things:
Is it fair to classify Void Dragons (idfk) as Wyrms? For instance, Tiamat, Jormungand, etc all share the same model... well down to the colours, sort of like Adeniums, Lycopodiums, Korrigans and the like. I mean, I can't think of a better name for Yilbegan/Anguis but I think they are too different from your standard Fafnir to be a "wyrm"! -
Sure. Totally different TP set but obviously a dragon. What do you want to name it?
Also his Varanus "summons" (more like his chigoes, really) can't be classified under anything currently given; but considering their use in Maiden of Dusk (well, the same type of creature) would it outlandish to call them a Structure, or more specifically a Gyve (the name given in Maiden of Dusk and sort of appropriate)? -
Okay
Looking at the Bestiary page... every Elemental is represented, which I think makes sense, there are enough different kinds of Dark/Light/etc elementals out there. (BLM AF NMs, VNMs, some other shit I'm sure) But the links are directly to the widespread Elementals in the world i.e.; standard Air Elemental. The reason I bring this up are the new "superelementals" introduced in Heroes. Also, we now know Pixies are listed as Elementals, so should they not be included under that family as well? -
Pixies should be included. What do you propose we do about the dozens of monsters named XXX Elemental that are all actually NMs or what-have-you? "Dark Elemental (Einherjar)" vs. "Dark Elemental (A Manifest Problem)" vs. "Dark Elemental" (for the normal one)?
Speaking of Abyssea; is it ridiculous to go through and add the Empyrean AF+1/+2 to each job's page? (It actually appears some job pages do have them, but not all of them. The table on the MNK page is nice but it looks a little cluttered to me? I am terrible at coding though so idk, I'll input whatever is there.) -
It's not ridiculously hard, but as you note the job pages are unstandardized. That gives us two options: 1) Figure out how to fit a table on to each page while leaving most of the rest of it unchanged. 2) Standardize the formatting of the job pages to some degree and adjust them all while adding the Empyrean Armor. I'd suggest the time difference between the two options isn't actually that large considering how long it'd take me to figure out how to format Empyrean +1/2 armor onto each page.
What the fuck is with the Black Mage spell list? Also why does BLU have a merit listing on the bottom of the page? Should this be a uniform thing? (Also again, the lack of uniformity between the job pages bugs me. Compare SCH's AF3 listing to MNK's.)
And what the hell at these seemingly random write-ups on jobs? SCH has an "Overview"; Bard has "Strength & Weaknesses"; PUP has "Endgame Tactics" etc. etc. -
See above
Is there any easy equation/table/listing for the standard skill caps @95? I actually don't have a 95 job myself but, for instance, an A+ skill would be like 415 or something, and that would be true for all jobs still, no? Some of these skill caps have not been updated since 75. ;; -
Motenten's page is so good for this (and what I use) that I'd be inclined to not dick around with anything like this until the 99 cap and everything is settled down.
The meme section is totes out of date too btw. -
Solly
Do we know if Voragaens have any Monster Correlation? -
I imagine a really bored BLU could maybe check? I assumed they opposed the other Abyssea-onry monster type.
What are Hahava/Uptala/Tapana? Do we know what Iron Giants are classified as? [I see the names Naraka for the first question and Giants listed as archae machinery or w/e the Dominion Tacticians used to call it... is that much true? Was the first term player-invented?] -
I defer to Septimus
Edit: I see Septimus' note on the inclusion of Iron Giants and Caturae. I feel like the Tacticians did/do give us specifics. Perhaps the test server still has 0 intel so we can get those "we know it's a blank..." or something?
How can I test to see what Harpeia are classified as? As an aside, while this name is appropriate, it is player given yes? Considering there are "Harpeia" mobs which are Khimairas in Flux #4 of WoE iirc.
Why are Bomb and Snoll separate but not Djinn? -
I don't know
Should there be a "Game Mechanic" page explaining staggering? Considering how prevalent it has become... and probably will be going forward. (Can you still stagger in WoE btw? I guess that is suited for the other RQT though!) -
Yeah, there probably should be. With the different proc systems on it. Currently the info is on the category page for the events. I think there's a page for "Proc."
I think that is it for now.
