Guide to Guides

Zombie Man · 08-10-2007 02:46 PM

This is a compilation of Player Guides put together by the Players for the Players. A big thank you to everyone who contributed!

If you are interested in writing a Guide or becoming involved, click the Section I link to the Introduction Post.

This post contains an outline of the organization of the guides which are grouped by category in the following sixteen posts. Click on a section heading to go to the corresponding post. Click on the link in that post to read the particular guide youre looking for.

PLAYER GUIDES FORUM & THE GUIDE TO GUIDES THREAD

This *forum*, [u]Player Guides[u], is a place for players to share their guides with other players. Unlike the other forums on this bulletin board, the threads in this forum do not automatically 'scroll off' or get 'aged out.' They stay until the time comes when the forum moderator decides they should go. Right now, threads go all the way back to May of 2004.

If you make a player guide, we ask that you place a copy of it in this forum in a separate thread, even if you are hosting another copy off site. This will help to reduce broken or stale links.

This *thread*, [u]Guide to Guides[u], is an effort to organize all the player guides. This thread contains links to the guides that are not specifically written for an Archetype (AT) or powerset. There are guides for each of the ATs in their own forum (a link to the AT guides can be found in this thread below). The AT guides are stored in this forum, but the guides to AT guides are in their AT forums (in other words, the Guide to Scrapper Guides thread can be found in the Scrapper forum, but the actual Scrapper guides are stored here in the Player Guides forum).

I. [u]AN INTRODUCTION AND GUIDE TO GUIDE TO GUIDES[u]

Updated: August 10, 2007

"PLAYER GUIDES" FORUM & THE "GUIDE TO GUIDES" THREAD

This *forum*, [u]Player Guides[u], is a place for players to share their guides with other players. Unlike the other forums on this bulletin board, the threads in this forum do not automatically 'scroll off' or get 'aged out.' They stay until the time comes when the forum moderator decides they should go. Right now, threads go all the way back to May of 2004.

If you make a player guide, we ask that you place a copy of it in this forum in a separate thread, even if you are hosting another copy off site. This will help to reduce broken or stale links.

This *thread*, [u]Guide to Guides[u], is an effort to organize all the player guides. This thread contains links to the guides that are not specifically written for an Archetype (AT) or powerset. There are guides for each of the ATs in their own forum (a link to the AT guides can be found in this thread below). The AT guides are stored in this forum, but the guides to AT guides are in their AT forums (in other words, the Guide to Scrapper Guides thread can be found in the Scrapper forum, but the the actual Scrapper guides are stored here in the Player Guides forum).

WRITING GUIDES

If you have written a guide, please let us know by posting a link to it at the bottom of this thread. If you don't know how to do that, don't worry, this thread has links to guides on how to write guides and how to make links in the forums. See how handy this Guide to Guides is?

If you write a guide for a particular AT (Archetype), then post a link to it both in this thread and the appropriate Guide to AT Guide thread (for example, if you write a Scrapper guide, post a link both here in the Guide to Guides thread and in the Guide to Scrapper Guides thread in the Scrapper Forum).

If you have created a guide, then please do not post the guide itself in this thread. Start a brand new thread in this forum ([u]Guide to Guides[u]) for your brand new guide.

When you title your guide, it's helpful to be as clear as possible what the guide is about. Fun names like "Guide to BOOM!" don't really explain what that guide is about. Instead, something like "Guide to BOOM: How to make exploding objects work for you" is clearer. If your guide is dependent on certain game mechanics that might change over time, it is also helpful to indicate what Issue your guide was written for. For example, putting [I7] in the title lets us know about when your guide was written (during Issue 7's release) and for what game mechanics it applies.

FINDING GUIDES

Please do not make a request for a guide or ask if a particular guide exists in this forum. We don't want to save all those extraneous threads in this archive-only forum. If you have a question, please post it in the [u]Player Questions[u] forum. If a guide exists, someone will probably give you the link to it, else, they can answer your question directly. If you have a suggestion for a guide, please dont post the suggestion here; place your suggestion in one of the General Discussion Forums: [u]General Discussion CoH[u], [u]General Discussion CoV[u], or [u]Suggestions and Ideas.[u]

Tip: Use your web browsers search function (usually Edit / Find...) to search this thread for the guide you're looking for. So, for example, if you want to find a guide on Hamidon, just search for Hamidon in this thread.

If that doesn't help find a guide you're looking for, try the Search function of the forum (there's a guide linked in this thread that tells you how to use the Search function of the forum!). You can limit your search to the [u]Player Guides[u] forum so you find just guides.

As players add links in this thread to the new guides theyve created and posted to the forum, well try to edit them into the first pages but that may take weeks or months to get around to it. It should be understood that anyone coming to this thread take a glance or do a search of the entire thread in order to catch the most recently added guides.

READER BEWARE

It is important to remember that almost all of these guides are written by players for players. They are not official guides from Cryptic (the game developer) or NCSoft (the game publisher and owner of the forums).

Some guides contain straightforward factual information. Much is easily verified or has been confirmed by the Developers. Some information is simply the best guess of the player because we don't know all the secrets of the game mechanics. There's a reason the company is called Cryptic. So, use the information at your own risk.

Some guides are more advice, suggestion, strategy, and opinion. As such, feel free to disagree. People are attempting to be helpful, but you don't have to take their advice. Play any way you like as long as you don't break the EULA (there's a link to that below).

Some guides get better with feedback, but only if it's constructive feedback (see the guides on forum etiquette). If you wish to discuss the content of a guide, please do so in that guide's thread, not in this thread.

Also keep in mind that some of these guides might have become outdated. That's why we include an issue number with most of them. Some guides are timeless (like good etiquette). Some become stale as game mechanics change, for example, a recent buff to the strength of Archvillains might make many of the older guides to defeating Archvillains no longer helpful. Here are the dates for the issue releases so you have an idea of how old a guide might be....

I1: 6/30/04
I2: 9/17/04
I3: 1/5/05
I4: 5/5/05
I5: 9/1/05
I6: 10/28/05
I7: 6/6/06
I8: 11/28/06
I9: 5/1/07
I10: 7/24/07

(Issue highlights link ParagonWiki.)

UPDATING GUIDES

We strongly encourage authors of guides to revisit their guides to keep them fresh and updated. A recent call went out at the beginning of 2007 for everyone to update their guides. If you authored a guide, please go back to make sure the info is updated. It would be nice to change the [I2] tag next to your guide to a [I10] tag! You may find that other players have contributed to your guide with corrections, suggestions, additions.

So, go ahead and create a brand new thread with your updated guide and include all their amendments and give them a credit and thanks for their help. This will especially help guides that generated lengthy discussions or for those where you wanted to edit the first post but were no longer able to. Dont forget to post a link to your updated guide in this thread. And dont forget to put a link at the end of the old guide pointing people to your updated guide.

If you see a guide (or a group of guides) that have become outdated and stale and the author hasn't updated them recently, well, you're certainly welcome to update it yourself if you'd like. Just simply cut and paste the old guide into your new guide and update it. Then it would be nice if you linked back to the original guide(s) with a thanks to that author's initial work. There, everyone benefits.

REVISION HISTORY

[u]March 21, 2005[u]: CuppaJo, the Community Rep started the first Guide to Guides thread. (Please do not post in this old thread.)

[u]September, 27, 2005[u]: After the original thread above got too unwieldy, CuppaJo created an updated Guide to Guides here.

[u]January 10, 2007[u]: Lighthouse, the new Community Relations Manager, puts out the call at the beginning of the month for everyone to update their guide in preparation for a new and updated Guide. Thanks to milk_weasel, everything in the lengthy Guide thread was organized and given to Lighthouse so that the first post of that thread now included all the links added to the thread.

[u]January 30, 2007[u]: Zombie_Man combs through the Player Guides forum for all that threads that never had a link posted to the Guide to Guide threads. After going through over 4,300 threads (two and a half years worth of threads), ZM created a much enlarged Guide to Guides that covers everything up to and including Issue 8. Ex Libris takes over caretaking for the guides as the Community Coordinator.

[u]April 4, 2007[u]: Ex Libris creates the Issue 9 Guide to Player Created Guides. It is filled by contributors who start getting rewarded for writing guides with a special forum title by their name. Last update to the main page of this thread was June 28, 2007. (Please do not post to this thread anymore, the new Guide to Guides contains all the I9 Guides now.

[u]August 8, 2007[u]: Zombie_Man creates this thread, the new Guide to Guides which contains everything in the previous Guide to Guides thread, everything in the Guide to Issue 9 Guides thread, and as many guides that were posted in the forums as can be found for which the originator unfortunately did not post a link. Also, Issue 10 Guides are included. All the links were made cityofheroes / cityofvillains neutral, i.e., if youre on the blue heroes version of the boards, all the links will keep you in the blue, and likewise for the redside of the boards.

NOTES FROM YOUR EDITOR

Editors of the AT Guides should go back over the history of the previous Guides listed above to include the appropriate links to new guides in their Guide to the X Archetype Guides.

In looking for guides whose owners never posted a link, I did use my judgment in not including certain guides which were only little tips, terribly incomplete, rants against bad play styles, or hopelessly outdated. If the authors of those guides are put out by that, they are free to update their guides and post a link of them here for inclusion.

Any feedback would be welcome on the structure, or grammar, or typos, or whatever.

Thanks all. Ive learned so much from doing this and reading all of your wonderful guides! Zombie_Man

Ignore this post. It's a buffer in case I need to add to the Big List.

Thanks for all the work you put in to this, make sure to PM lighthouse, but you probably have already done so.

Please add WittyLibrarian's excellent Lady Grey Task Force Guide to this list.

That is, assuming WittyLibrarian's ok with this.

Edit: All right, he's given the ok in a PM. Is it a problem that his guide is off-site?

Solos · 08-20-2007 08:09 PM

Is the Power Boost guide here or is that in an AT subforum?

Here it is. Sorry I missed it. Wouldn't hurt if it also got linked in the appropriate AT guides, too.
