Codex Arena[]
Will there come a section for Codex Arena builds? or you just improvise yourself ? :p Thanks!
- Hi, I'm sorry to inform you that there is no section for CA and with good reason. Since the skills and builds change daily, there would be no way to keep up with each day's trend w/o many more active users. However, there are some users who have sandboxes that update CA builds every once in a while. Sandboxes are linked at the bottom of the main page, and are currently the best way we can provide CA builds. KarateJesus 17:49, 11 December 2009
PvP skills (again)[]
>Oh, and have you considered doing anything else with the PvP skills? Or are we just giving up on that? - KJ
- "Definitely not. The PvP fixes will be live tomorrow (Monday) evening UTC. Planned to do it over the weekend initially, but didn't manage to. - TOR"
So, expect that tomorrow. Also, he plans on moving our skill db to our site sometime soon. Only admins will be able to edit it and the updates can't go live until TOR syncs our db to his, but it should help us get more accurate skill updates (hopefully). KarateJesus 03:18, 14 December 2009

- thanks for the update, I was curious about this =p (someone actually asked me about it on MSN). On a related note, supressredirect isn't that hard to give to people it's literally one small line in one file. Just ask it to be added to the autoconfirmed user group privileges (so anyone who's in the "autoconfirmed" group can suppress redirects). ~ PheNaxKian talk 11:35, December 14, 2009 (UTC)

"OK... Good news and bad news:"
"Bad -- it appears that not all PvP skills are on the list with IDs. I started to renumber them but having an incomplete list is somewhat beside the point, right?"
"Good -- [1] -- I'm watching these pages, so I will be notified on any changes. The plan is to have this updated weekly, although I can only do one update in December (if at all), due to code freeze for the holidays. - TOR"
- I told him not to worry about it until after the holidays. Sorry about this guys. I did my best. Does anyone know where we can find a complete list of the IDs? KarateJesus 21:25, 14 December 2009

This site's main focus is storing the best builds out there, which unfortunately in a dull, unchanging meta means that there's not much going on. Karate Jesus 02:21, 29 December 2009

The main page is not here to discuss your bad build that got deleted/moved/changed. Nor is it here to wish everyone Happy New Years. I've seen an increasing amount of misuse of this page, and I don't like it. Not that I'm always around to remind some people not to do so. This page is for discussing events on the site, news for the site, or things of general interest for us users of the site. Please remember this and stop posting dumb things here. Thank you in advance. -- ¬ Big McStrongfist 15:29, January 15, 2010 (UTC)

special pages[]
I don't know if this is possible or not, but I'd like to see a page which lists how many votes the builds which are currently in Testing have (maybe it already exists, I don;t know, I haven't seen one. Seems like a good method of helping to push builds through the vetting process a little faster which is (at least on the pve side of things) very much needed. - AthrunFeya - 11:32, January 22, 2010 (UTC)
- we don't hvae a page that tells you how many votes a build has. you can find all untested builds by the order in which they were added (from oldest at the top to newest at the bottom) here (it gives you an exact date they were added). I honestly don't see a need for a special page that shows how many votes there are on a build, we have so few builds in testing it seems pointless. ~ PheNaxKian talk 12:13, January 22, 2010 (UTC)

I am interesting in special hm builds for pve. Is there a chance to create a new section (like "generall, running, farming") where only builds for hm are posted?

fare when GW2 coems out? will they make a GW2 version of the site? totally dif. site? how will we handle the build-making frenzy? preventing vandilization? so many noobs? are there too many questions to ask? will danny and KJ get a raise?--Bluetapeboy 13:49, March 31, 2010 (UTC)
- we will ban all bluetapeboys and dance the gilwor dance --Chaos? -- 14:13, March 31, 2010 (UTC)
- Blue, at this point, we don't even know if there will be builds in GW2. Hell, we definitely don't know if they will use something like gwBBcode that will allow people to copy builds off of the internet, so there's no use worrying about that now.
- However, if they do use a similar system, my hope is that we just split the site and half would be devoted to hosting GW2 builds and the other to maintaining GW1 builds. I don't really see the purpose in making a whole new site. Karate Jesus 14:29, 31 March 2010
- I believe originally (i.e. before we moved to wikia)we were going to make the main page link to 2 different "portals" of the same site (so basically one website but they're so completely separate they may as well be 2). However since the move to wikia I'm inclined to say that unless someone hosts it independently, or there's such minimalist changes in the way the builds work between GW1 and GW2, that there won't be a PvX2. Also, nobody gets paid here (and why danny? he's not an admin >.>) ~ PheNaxKian talk 15:05, March 31, 2010 (UTC)
- People seem to forget that pretty often (including Auron recently). And I have that same feeling about PvX2. Unless we get a private host, or builds operate in nearly the same way, it wont happen. When builds aren't savable/importable as text files, then forums tend to be the best way to discuss them. Especially in PvE primary games, which GW2 will undoubtedly be. Karate Jesus 15:14, 31 March 2010
- just to expand on my reasoning slightly (i thought i had said this but reading what i said i've missed it out xD) the reason this would be the case is because wikia will not put the effort in when it'd only be our one wiki that would benefit from it (I believe they didn't like the fact TOR (their main coder) put in so much effort for us (and still is with maintaining the skill database)). Needs be, if someone develops something like gwBBCode again, we could get a (free) forum and just use something like that (I'd imagine most users would prefer that given how most of the user base is atm) ~ PheNaxKian talk 15:27, March 31, 2010 (UTC)
- There's always a small chance I'll care enough to put something together myself, but I really wouldn't count on it. Moreover, I wouldn't expect that anything I'd put together would be in a wiki-type format. (I'd probably use Drupal with a few dedicated editors and a picky submissions system. Fuck theorycrafts.) ··· Danny So Cute 17:22, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

- That's a client side problem I am sure of it, it looks like that if I go on PvX on my old mobile phone. Maybe it has something to do with outdated versions of FF/IE. Anyway, it's defo client side. --Frosty 18:42, May 27, 2010 (UTC)

- Well I'm shite at wiki stuff, so meh. --Short 20:27, July 7, 2010 (UTC)
- I'm happy to code it as long as someone gives me a design (I'm generally rather "meh" with the design aspect). ~ PheNaxKian talk 20:36, July 7, 2010 (UTC)
- The best I can do is link to good looking and convenient sites, and explain what impossible I have in mind then tell you that you're doing it completely wrong. I don't think that's of much use.
- The build categories are obviously the first thing to take into account, then I think that some mainpage publicity for our guides would be good. If build packs get used, which I don't know, then those too. I feel like revamping the Featured Build system to be less of a "tl;dr many builds show up on main page" and be more pleasant to follow. Is a single system that shows one or two mini-skill bars on the main page possible?
- Some ideas we could work on :p ---Chaos- (moo!) -- 21:03, July 7, 2010 (UTC)
- Well, why don't we start with a Project page that we can announce to others. That way we can keep all of our ideas in one place. Plus this page needs to be archived soon. I think the mini-skill bars wouldn't be impossible, but I can't imagine how we could auto-feed that. And the build packs, guides, and builds all need to be mainpage'd. The build packs are being downloaded more and more heavily. Karate Jesus 21:21, 7 July 2010
- The build apcks actually get downloaded? Do you have numbers? --Short 16:14, July 7, 2010 (UTC)
- a couple of notes: the "project page" may as well be the main page edit copy (Main Page/editcopy), considering that's where all suggested changes will be made =p. As for mini skill bars, it's perfectly possible to have them done in a similar manner to what is currently done, but you'd have to manually add the mini skill bar (i.e change the skills yourself), but I have a few issues with that suggestion: first, you're limiting it to single builds, team builds wouldn't really be feature-able. Secondly people have enough trouble changing the featured builds, if they have to change skill bars, I feel that'd confuse them more = (I think there was more but I'm editing in parts and I can't remember <<). As for BP, Guides and builds, they're already main paged.....just throwing it out there...Also, I think it's important to keep a the wiki news, and game update sections (they can be moved and what not, but I think it's important to have them =p). ~ PheNaxKian talk 21:56, July 7, 2010 (UTC)
- Here are the numbers on the build packs. I haven't checked the numbers in a while, though. They were going up more and more quickly, last time I checked. Karate Jesus 22:02, 7 July 2010
- That's a helluva lot more than I expected. --Short 22:04, July 7, 2010 (UTC)
- And that's March. There are probably a lot more now. If I have time to run the collecting bot tomorrow, then I'll update the numbers. Karate Jesus 22:06, 7 July 2010
- Perhaps show monthly numbers on the new main page somewhere? Just for showing off and to help advertise them. --Short 22:08, July 7, 2010 (UTC)
- To be honest, I like the Main Page the way it is. All I try to do to liven it up is to switch the builds every Sunday (Was gone so i'll do it soon today). :\ Vincent Evan [Air Henchman] 23:00, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

- I'm happy to code it as long as someone gives me a design (I'm generally rather "meh" with the design aspect). ~ PheNaxKian talk 20:36, July 7, 2010 (UTC)
It looks like most of the successful PC gaming wikis use a layout similar to Fallout's. I wouldn't want to make the main page the same as everyone else's, but maybe more graphics and a two column approach would help. Karate Jesus 13:22, 8 July 2010
- Make it a "contest". Invite people to sketch a layout and submit via email or mock up an example in their User space and simply provide a link. This is, however, dependant on having a suitably motivational prize for the contest. C:\PvX>Abort, Retry, Panic? 13:49, July 8, 2010 (UTC)
- it's that latter point that's the issue. That said, we could always make a little news item to say "we want to redesign the main page, post suggestions, or mock up examples (drawn or otherwise) on the (news article) talk". That might get a few suggestions. Aso for the "fallout layout". I'd depending on how you look at it, we generally are using a 2 column layout. ~ PheNaxKian talk 15:51, July 8, 2010 (UTC)
- I agree with Phen on the news article. I meant to suggest that earlier. I'll write one up later if you don't beat me to it, Phen. Also, we'd need to discuss all of the new features with Wikia and how much we'd like to feature them. For example, we can provide the option to link PvX accounts to Facebook through wikia (which doesn't sound appealing to me, but some may like it). So, we'd need to look at all of those options.

- The most successful PC gaming wikis are for games people play/care about. That hasn't been the case for Guild Wars for well over 2 years. ··· Danny So Cute 09:16, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Hero Builds category[]
This category should be removed if the builds in it are not usable by Heros which is the case at this time. All of the builds that I looked at have 2 or 3 skills unusable by Heros and it is pointless to have the builds here. If I have to constantly edit the build, then I may as well just get them from the other areas. 99.237.42.219 18:51, July 28, 2010 (UTC)
- it may be a case that build is designed for general use, but with small tweaks (such as changing out PvE-Only skills) that there's no point in having seperate articles. In such cases there's normaly a variants section or a suggestion under the build which will say "switch skills XYZ for ABC if using on a hero" or some such thing. If that isn't the case, I'd suggest removing the hero tag. ~ PheNaxKian talk 19:36, July 28, 2010 (UTC)
- Sorry you have to apply some thought rather than download and load-up. I'm sure one of our many volunteers (that's the important word) will be sure to create separate pages for the hero-only builds (only for those pages to later be WELL'd and deleted because we already have them on file).

Submitting build?[]
Hi, can anyone provide a guide as to how you move a build to the trial phase?
- Place a tag similar to {{Untested-Trial|Area1|Area2|etc.}} on the build. Karate Jesus 21:15, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
