PVE / PVP Guide Section on the Forums

mebengalsfan

I see a void on the forums that could help many new players out when it comes to PVP and PVE guides. I know this area is about discussing PVE content but a section designed on guides for PVE campaigns, dungeons, skirmishes, etc would be a great addition for new players. It would be a place for new players to go and review guides on how to run content, to gain the knowledge so they can perform at a higher level.

I know I would like to review all guides on running each dungeon to see where I can improve or mechanics I may have missed that has impacted my ability to be effective in specific dungeons.

The same can be done for PVP. I have yet to play PVP but I'm sure PVPers would like some tick and pointers based on the maps.

I am asking the community managers to create this so that the community can start creating guides to help new players out.

I've played online games since the first MMORPG game came out, all the way through WoW. There were guides just like you mentioned practically fir everything, including professions, but the ones that I thought were the most helpful were the boss encounters in the dungeons. You got a good idea of what to expect during the encounter, what abilities they use, etc and it helps tremendously.

New players come to the forums? I thought most of them just dove into the game and asked questions in chat.

I came on forums when I first started and also checked out YouTube for guides.

Most welcome. Right now it is just bare bones and lacks any sub-forums, personalization, or any ability to sticky threads. We're hoping to have it fully functional early in this coming work-week as Andy only had time to basically turn it on with default settings before his weekend started. He did this for me as a last request before the weekend so I'd be able to start moving general guides there over the weekend, as I have weekends off from my other job and can devote more time to the forum then.

@zebular I am not sure if you have the patience or desire to translate stuff from Russian to English, but some of the most useful guides that I know of in this game, that I only discovered a few days before I decided to take a break, can be found on the Russian forums:

Stat Theory. (For anyone curious, this is similar to Kaelac's guide to tenacity etc, only updated for past mod 5.)

Insignia Bonuses.

Tenacity.

Pet Bonuses.

At the very least, a link to these should be stickied for those bold enough to try and translate them, because they are excellent sources of information.
