I'm working on a 'guide' (really just a table or chart) for the UNITY dailies right now. I have all of the missions listed in the groups they appear in, I'm just double-checking right now to make sure that I have the days in the proper order (the 8 sets of missions repeat on a continued cycle).
I know a lot of forumites are just like meyou've got a buttload of alts, and don't want to put in the time/money to outfit all of them with Justice or Legion gear, so you go the Heroic route. That means grinding lots of UNITY missions with your 40s. SCR is also good for mods and costume/TP unlocks (though surely most people have done that long ago if they are ever going to).
Also if you're like me, you like picking up some of the easier/more enjoyable missions over the course of a few days, and getting multiples of the same mission in your log as well, so you only have to do it once for double credit. I love getting Canadian Taken in the mission journal twicevirtually no travel distance, nice little breezy mission, bam, 10 SCR.
So, I decided to plot out which missions always go together and what order those groupings occur in, so that I could make a super-nerdy attack plan. The lazy man's route to more efficient grinding.
Didn't know if that's anything you'd be interested in for the new wiki. It's not earth-shattering stuff, but it might help out some folks who want to make that easy-to-get Heroic gear even easier or more enjoyable to pick up.

I feel like that'd be an awesome addition to the guides page, and might even be deserving of its own wiki entry. If you wrote it up, it'd be awesome, and I'd probably break your data down to individual wiki pages. This could get extra mileage, because it has use both as a guide setup and raw data to work with.
Want some maps of resource nodes? I haven't been playing Champs much lately but I did do a bit more mapping in Millenium City.
YES.
Sorry about the tiny delay in updating. I've got a wicked ear infection right now, because the universe hates me. I'm sorting out that tutorial on editing frameworks and powers, and I'm trying to make it inclusive to most of my templates. It's a bit of work, I'll probably give it its own guide or page on one of our sites.

oookay... :P I suppose I could release a few more of the horribly incomplete ones Tsin'xing has compiled.
Ermm... actually, the only stuff I have that's worth releasing are Arms and Mystic maps for MC. But as mentioned earlier, they're horribly incomplete, and mostly T1 nodes.

Key:
* 40-minute timed mission
# outdoor mission
CAPS special mission
(D) Desert Zone, (C) Canada Zone, (MC) Millennium City Zone, (MI) Monster Island Zone, (L) Lemuria Zone
"Canadian Taken", all outdoor missions, and all special missions are worth 5 Silver Champions Recognition; all other missions are worth 2 Silver Champions Recognition. If timed missions are not completed within 40 minutes, they cannot be added again (until they come up again in the rotation, i.e. another day); so, finish those before time runs out or you will be unable to get the special mission for that day.
Not sure if that's the best way to get you the info, but as a placeholder, if nothing else. I've got a color-coded table set up in word; a table is much easier to look at and figure out which days have missions that go together well (especially when colored and ordered by zone).
Anyway, let me know what else you need if this would be helpful. I figure vets know the basics, but a lot of people I talk to here and in-game think it's some terrible grind to get Heroic Gear, when nothing could be further from the truth. It just helps a lot to have a loose plan in order, to make it go more quickly/more enjoyably.
Pick the two easiest days, do the missions in about 30 minutes, and you've got a piece of gear. Let "Cull the Bleak Abyss" and "Reavers of the Deep" both stack up twice, go kill 40 Lemurians, and you just racked up 20 SCR. Easy-peezy. For that matter, since you can have 15 missions active, just pick up the outdoor mission every day some week (which would be 14 missions), then at the end of the week, go kill 40 Lemurians underwater, 40 Lemurians topside, 20 VIPER, and 20 worms. There's your 35 SCR, you just got a piece of purple gear for 5 minutes of play.

Knowing the zone is important so you know which days have too much Lemuria.
Speaking of Unity, I'm working on video guides for the Unity 2 prerequisites. It's just taking forever because I super suck at making guides and I managed to hit every bug ever. Won't release it until after the content update and will probably make a video for the new AT before that.

Noted; I edited it to add a brief notation for zones. Though personally I dread the Desert missions more, yeah... if you're going down to the abyss in Lemuria on a character without a vehicle, just hit autorun and go make a sandwich.
There we go. Broken down by category, color coded, and explained bit by bit. The info on there applies to every wiki page, it's a basic primer on how I set up my templates, and how you'd edit them. I'm gonna go more in depth with table creation and such at some point, that way people don't have to wait on me to create new categories.
Also, created the AT overview page, reworked the mission category entirely, and started creating the base framework for the mechanics page. I'm gonna set up the template for the archetypes themselves here in a second or 2.
In game, I am @EvilTaco. Happily killing purple gang members since May 2008. RIP Caine
K, really really bare bones AT page is up on the behemoth. I'm gonna do an infobox and screenshot and all that, but this'll do for now. If any of the wiki people want a seriously easy mission, feel free to tag in on the archetype pages.
In game, I am @EvilTaco. Happily killing purple gang members since May 2008. RIP Caine
ATs done, with the exception of the Awakened Automaton. Could probably use some polishing to make them a bit more consistent in the categories section, though since I wasn't sure what to put for most of them.
awesome, thanks alot Vizz. i imagine we will polish them up later. the more we can get up the better.
i was thinking of replacing the superstat column with a powerssets used on the ToC for the ATs
Jasin, I'm going to be slapping icons next to the ATs when we get to the polish phase. I wouldn't worry too much about that, the icons kinda call out what powers the AT uses.

I made a contacts page and template page by ripping off the Missions template and changing a few words. Both are pretty rough and bare, so feel free to improve

I'll put together a level template for that page, so it'll display the proper availability for each mission. It's gonna be a rough table at the moment, But that'll give me a framework to use to correct the pages later with find -> replace.
If y'all want any page templates done, just let me know. Also, can I get a sticky? This thread is huge, and I feel like it might be important. Maybe the biggest project going on in game right now with the players.
I finally found the email address I need for the data I don't have, and if we're not gonna get the source files? A sticky is fine too.

reworking the modification pages
hawk if you could repost maps HERE. also dont tag the photos directly to the main cat but to the page that they will go on. i couldn't remove your tag,(Which I should be able to, since i have the authority)so i had to temporarily remove them so you can repost on the node pages.
EDIT4: I might have to use a smaller resolution for uploads or cut the maps into pieces.... that thumbnail error seems to pup up whenever a map parameter is greater than 4000*3000.
it is redundant since those are links to the zone pages, which will also link to the skill nodes.
there's a bigger structure here.
oh those pages were for the social zones themselves? oops...
Anyways, I recopied the data on mod tiers since it got left out of the change you did....
And for some reason the Canada maps are making the system unhappy, I personally suspect the problem is due to the dimensions of the picture not the size of the file. the images work, but you can't look at a thumbnail of them.
