Weird Problem

Anyone else having a problem with their thumbnails? Every single skill, pic sig, Class symbols, and everything that is a mini pic has stopped working for me. All i see is a big X. The only skills i've actually seen are Vocal was Sogolon and Recuperation...just want to know if its just me, or if theres something i can do to fix it, or if everyone is experienceing this problem. ßʀоɴɀɛ (Kurzick_FTW|Talk|Contribs) 15:24, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Everyone should use Firefox--Tyrael-- 14:18, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Everyone with over 256 MB of RAM should use Firefox because it's highly customizable, has easy-to-use options and preferences, various anti-malware modules, and is skinnable for those who give a fuck.* Chrome's the next runner up, but they need to fix the XP crash bugs before anyone starts to take it seriously.

Question...

Well is there any way to change the name to a build thats already been created?couldnt seem to find the answer anywhere so...--Isaac The Sinful 20:34, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

You do it by clicking the "move" button above. However, if you've accidentally created it in the "category"-namespace, then no can do, and it must be deleted. ---Chaos- 20:41, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

my gosh how many more scripts does wikia need to run, before you guys start turning a profit?

I've tried latest version of IE, and also have used apple Saffari for it's fast open speeds- however in the last few days, I'm getting script overloading causing huge delay in being able to access the wikia pages (I can't click on a link for a long time- huge delay) Saffari was running wikia excellently until some change was made in the last few days, and I'm getting messages saying to the effect "Script is taking a long time to load - do you wish to abort script load?" But I don't get the option to abort the scripts until a long period of time has passed. All these movies, and special effect advertisements are bogging this user down --- heck, I'll pay for premium access if you have it -- I'm just sick and tired of waiting to get links and pages to load. I don't know if it's the browser that is the problem, or what. I think the pages are truly overloaded with advertising and it's making it difficult for me to enjoy using pvx wikia. Please don't take this as a criticism, I'm just venting my feelings and frustations with the issue I'm having loading pages, and getting to where i want to go!

Awesome answer - thanks for letting me vent - and teaching me the options I will be able to use! :) Did someone say Firefox displays the full content the best? Because I cannot live without the feature that allows me whilst looking at a particular build, the ability to pass my mouse (cursor) over the skills - - and see the calculated (actual) energy cost, casting time, and recharge rate based on the settings that the author has programmed into his script!! I love that feature!!! and i love the big icons as well!! Overall this is one of the best wiki's out there - I love pvxwikia!! thanks again! Remoteluxury 18:45, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, firefox will display that just fine. By all counts, Firefox displays all the content on PvX, and most other sites, much better than Internet Explorer. ··· Dannycbf 19:19, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

another question

im experiencing this error whilst trying to rate.

"Set $wgShowExceptionDetails = true; at the bottom of LocalSettings.php to show detailed debugging information."

what should i do ?

i'm using ultrasurf to connect to pvxwikia because its blocked in China for some reason. could that be a reason why i can't rate ?--Styj 13:57, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Seems to be happening to a lot of new users when they make their accounts. I stopped getting the error after about a week. Could be a problem with the wiki trying to prevent new users from voting in an effort to stop socking?--TahiriVeila 14:08, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
I don't think thats why i get that message occasionally anyways after retrying once or twice it usually goes away on it's own i think Wikia might have done some editing to wtv is related to the rating code and something is acting fussy, so just keep trying and you'll be able to vote sooner or later Mooter - talk | contrib 14:11, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
I think wikia sites overall are blocked by china. Might be because of wikipedia, because they consider some stuff to be against them. ---Chaos- 14:13, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
I suppose you could put it that way sort of. — μαφλεσ 14:44, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
i'm inclined to agree with Tahiri. It seems like it's to do with (new) users being able to vote. I did send wikia a message ages ago about or rating system not working propaly (anyone registered user could vote, regardless of conts. etc.) so I asked if they could make it available to autoconfirmed users only (i.e. so many conts. and been registered for a given period). It's possiable there's a small error in their coding, meaning that the exception details aren't actually showing, and are instead just saying that they should be shown (this is all speculation of course). ~ PheNaxKian talk 15:56, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
Actually, it's Ultrasurf. I'm not sure what it could be doing, but it causes the exception. I'm on it right now, and I can get to a ratings page without that error cropping up. ··· Dannycbf 18:26, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

oh darn it ): ive always wanted to see the precise numbers rated instead of just the word great / good--Styj 01:18, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

well, most of the time, if a build is great, it got a couple 5-5s and a couple 5-4s. If it's in good, look for a different build. =p lemme see if there's a way to get ratings to display with ultrasurf. What proxy settings are you using, if any? ··· Dannycbf 17:04, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

check the screenie. thats all i know about proxy. usually its on no proxy but when ultrasurf is on, this changes. isthiswhatyouwant.jpg --Styj 04:39, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

i'd put good money down that it has to do with either SSL or SOCKS. i'll look through the mediawiki stuff to see if i can come up with anything. thanks for the tip! ··· Dannycbf 16:49, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
Okay, it's got something to do with SOCKS. I'm not sure what it is about SOCKS that's causing it, but it's related to the inability to access redlinked pages without manually navigating to the edit page. ··· Dannycbf 18:44, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

you know, i've absolutely no idea what you just meant but am i suppose to do something to the SOCKS thingy ? o.O--Styj 01:08, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

they go on your feet--X 10:39, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
you can't really do anything with it. unfortunately, you just won't be able to see ratings pages. i'll drop a note on the Wikia noticeboard and see if they can do something about it, but i can't guarantee anything atm. ··· Dannycbf 16:33, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

alright then :) thanks for trying . --Styj 01:32, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

I can't see the ratings either, I get the same message iirc, and as far as I know I'm not using Ultrasurf :-). And I'm not in China. Possibly it's bc I don't have an account but if I check a build out on here for any reason I'd like to be able to see why it was rated what it is et.c.

Dungeon Running

So like, we need a dungeon running section or something, because most of them just change in tactics, but use the same like 5 skills. Life Guardian 23:10, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Theyre farming builds. Put them in the farming builds section. If you want to make a guide, do that. Another section is pretty unnecessary tbh. --- Ressmonkey (talk) 23:59, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
Or put them in "Running" section as well. Why shouldn't it include dungeon running too? Its pretty much a dead catagory with just a few droks running builds that noone uses or cares about. AthrunAthrun SigFeya 08:02, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Paragon?

I have seen a lot of builds for PVP, and PVE, but only about 3 under "working great" are paragan first profession builds (3 builds in total, pve builds for paragan + pvp builds for paragan= 3)None of these are labeled PVP meta. I brought a hero into a party, Haida, she was using a paragan PVE meta build, and people still complained. "a paragon?" the situation was perfect for her because the ammount of conditions we were expecting was high, and her build made us pracically immune to all exept daze. Either people need to start helping out in making ALL classes equally usable in guild wars, or were going to have a problem.



Is it because a paragan first profession is just generally underpowered? I see people using spears in both pvp and pve all the time, even when they aren't x/P or P/x, but every P/x that enters random arenas gets steamrolled. What do paragons need to be more effective. right now theres nothing a person with paragan as their primary profession can do that a person with paragon second profession can't. (exept what is underpowered and unviable) If you disagree, I would love to see what the secret to making paragons work (mostly in pvp) because i see very little paragons that are both fun, AND able to find a team in team arenas.

70.68.134.86 03:20, September 9, 2009 (UTC)(\(\(\;;/)/)/){How do I shot web?)

usually, the only reason to go P/any instead of R/P is when you need to exploit Leadership, or you need your secondary class (e.g. for "Save Yourselves"). It's not unexpected that pugs would question a paragon hero; usually a necro in the general template of sabway is safer when you don't know how terrible the other members of your group are. there's also the fact that people on average are dumb. Anyways, bars that paragon heroes can use are limited, but player paragons obv. have imbagon, song of purification, or generic spearchucking. in short, not underpowered, people are just bad. — μαφλεσ 03:44, September 9, 2009 (UTC)
Patially this may be bc wiki ppl only vet things good if they're majorly OP rather than just good, and partially bc ppl are stupid and don't realise how awesome paragons are. Admittedly they work better in big paragon teams but they can still offer some great support. Wasn't there a guild of the week once (they used to do than on the GW website) who did all of NF with an all-paragon party or something? 82.3.249.58 08:22, September 9, 2009 (UTC)

mostly it has to do with paragons only work in niche situations because they're party support. they can't solo and they were never meant to. the only things a paragon should really be doing is SY/Command spam in any setting, at least when they're not spike assisting or being massive defense fags. ··· Dannycbf 19:58, September 9, 2009 (UTC)

I mostly wanna be able to make a build for my paragon that works for team arena, or heroes accent, i want to actually say "(insert paragon build here) lfg" in those places and actually find a group.

guess what: paragons are no good in TA, and rumor is it's going to be removed anyways. People use paragons in HA, but most meta paragon builds aren't pug-friendly (since you're usually defensefag/spike assist), so you wouldn't have much luck outside of randomway or friends. — μαφλεσ 04:04, September 11, 2009 (UTC)

welcome bot

We should have one. Here is the welcome bot page for another wikia wiki. Zyke-Sig 01:57, September 15, 2009 (UTC)

a year or two ago we discussed whether or not we should even use templates to greet users (manually). the general concensus was that using templates made users feel even less welcome (or something like that), so you're not going to have much getting people to agree to a welcome bot. then again, noone really cares anymore, so we'll see. — μαφλεσ 02:10, September 15, 2009 (UTC)
I think when we moved to wikia I had this conversation with Auron (about if we should activate said bot or not) we decided it was a bad idea. Basically for the same reasons Maf. said. That said though, if the majority want it activated I'd do so. ~ PheNaxKian talk 10:13, September 15, 2009 (UTC)

Use adblock or something. The only ads I get are the 3 tiny ones at the bottom. And I don't think we can move ads, you would have to ask wikia. Zyke-Sig 06:50, November 3, 2009 (UTC)
we probably can with a bit of coding (with a bit of coding we could hide the adds (they'd be there we jsut wouldn't see them)) but wikia would bitch at us for it. Like Zyke said, get something like adblocker or noscript, they generally stop the adds getting in the way. ~ PheNaxKian talk 12:18, November 3, 2009 (UTC)
