Recommended Items
Hey Tesla. I finished all the magical power item pages earlier (might want to double check them just in case) and when that was done, we had enough item pages done to actually start working on the recommended items for quite a few of the Gods. So Hades, Zeus, Anubis, Ra, Sobek, Hel, Ao Kuang, He Bo, and Agni all have their Recommended Items set up. After we get a few more physical ones going we should be able to finish those off as well.

 * Quick update - I added a couple more item pages and then finished Guan Yu's recommended items. Krayt88 10:09, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I've finished all the non-ability items (I think) and as a result I've also finished all the Recommended Items, so those are all set. So I think we just need to finish the Ability pages, the Buffs pages, and then anything else we want to rearrange or make look a bit more cleaned up. Krayt88 00:29, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Item Pages
Hey. I saw you have been working on the item pages. I think that is a good priority because once those are done I can go through and update everybody's recommended items. Also, obviously items are some of the main things people come to a wiki like this to check out. I'll try to help out with the items pages where I can. Krayt88 02:27, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Did you see how they are coming out? What do you think? Good example of how the item pages are going to look: Breastplate of Valor. ^_^ Thanks again for all the help. You are awesome. :) Tesla 02:35, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
 * That looks really good. I'll use that as a template and try to start helping with some items.Krayt88 05:03, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I've done the 5 different boots. For some reason they all have the text [[Category: ]] at the top. I couldn't figure out why this was, so maybe you could take a look at it. If you know whats going on there, let me know so I can avoid it in the future. I'll try to keep it going with some more items later. Krayt88 06:52, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Hey Krayt. The reason the and I forgot to type "Movement" into that area. So now it is fixed. Thanks for letting me know. Great job on those pages. Tesla 06:56, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Ah, excellent. Good to know it was a simple fix. I'll keep trying to pump out a couple more item pages every so often. Krayt88 10:34, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Just did the pages for Chronos' Pendant and Golden Bow. Quick question though: we have the section for type and attribute, but pretty much all of these items can be found under different categories. For example, Golden Bow could be Physical->Power, Physical->Crit Chance, or Other->Movement. Should we maybe list all the categories they fall into or maybe just get rid of that section if you think that would clutter things too much? Krayt88 11:17, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

I'm not sure I completely understand? Can you maybe show me what you mean? Like just write it out as if you were filling out the template - like the input and out put of stuff? That would help me understand better. Thanks! Tesla 21:50, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Well like take a look at Voidblade, for example. When you are filling out the template you have to put in the text




 * type = Physical
 * att = Power


 * because the item gives physical power but since the item also provides physical protection, the type should also be Defense and the Attribute should also have Physical. So I'm not sure if we could do something like




 * type = Physical/Defense
 * att = Power/Physical


 * or something similar because the majority of these items fall in to multiple different categories.


 * On a side note, I've completed all the items that have any sort of Physical Defense, so those pages are all set. Krayt88 22:17, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

I am pretty new to this whole wiki editing thing so sorry in advance for this posts format and whatnot-- About the item pages: Make sure you're denoting the difference between a Passive, a Unique Passive, and an Aura. Also, some of the table values have come out wrong and I've been fixing what I've seen because I was putting together a massive spreadsheet (it's done now so I probably won't check the wiki pages as often or at all).


 * Alright. I haven't been putting in the words "UNIQUE" or "PASSIVE" in there like the descriptions say just because I've been using the Breastplate of Valor as my template for all this, and they weren't in that item's description. I'm all about trying to give things a consistent look, so I'm just basing all my changes on the things that are already complete. Krayt88 00:09, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Taunts and Jokes
I've added everybody's jokes and taunts to their pages (excluding the three that don't have voice actors: Artemis, Ao Kuang, Sobek) and they should be all set up. The only one I'm concerned with is Hel's because she has the whole "Two different voices" thing going on. I formatted it in a way that I think is acceptable, but there is probably a better way to do it. Anyway, all the actual quotes are up. Krayt88 23:07, 24 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Oh! You are truly awesome! Thank you so much. I'll take a look at her page here shortly and see how it looks in regards to the format. :) Tesla 23:10, 24 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Just wanted to let you know I changed the taunt/joke sections on the Artemis, Ao Kuang, and Sobek pages from saying "Coming soon." to simply "N/A". Its hard to tell when/if they will give these characters voice actors, but I'm assuming they simply haven't got to it yet since its still early in development. Anyway, since we don't actually know when they might get voices, I thought that maybe "Coming Soon" wasnt the right description. Krayt88 08:33, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Awesome~! Thanks for letting me know. :) Tesla

God Images
Hello. First, I've updated all the images for the current gods, so i don't think you have to worry about the images since they are all set up. Also, the text on those images aren't a font that you need, the game itself puts the names there. I just took the screen shots on the game loading screen where the game puts it in there for you. Like I said, I've updated all the images for the gods that are currently available so they are all consistent and I would advise against changing them for now as they are all set up and good to go.

Krayt88


 * Oh? I'll need to look into that. Before it wasn't allowing screen shots the way other games would. I'll need to go back through and check everything. Thanks again. Btw to sign at the end of what you post, put ~ <- That puts "Time & Date" along with a link to your username. Thanks again! ^^ Tesla 09:02, 24 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Well I didnt just throw the screenshot in. I took a screenshot of the loading screen before a game and it shows those images. Then I just cropped it down. I did it for all the gods currently available, so they should all be consistent and in the future you would only need to take a screenshot of that game loading page for gods released in the future to get the image with the name below it. Again, I would suggest leaving them for now, at least until you have all the images you want to replace them with ready to upload, for consistency's sake.
 * Krayt88 09:08, 24 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Ah~ Ok thanks. I actually changed them back, but I'll change them again. Thanks again for letting me know. Tesla 09:10, 24 June 2012 (UTC)


 * What are your plans for the new skins they are adding? Like a section near the bottom the god's page with the images of their different skins, or simply a text list of their skin names? Krayt88 09:15, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

I was thinking of in that area where I have "Skins" As its own section we will put a screen shot of what it looks like in the buy area. We will also have the image listed with a description and all. Example:

If you mouse over the image, you'll see the description. We can also maybe put it above or under it like the following

Skins
Which I think we will use the second one. However, I want to later use the splash art, so it looks like you see in the second box. ^^ Tesla 09:45, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

That sounds pretty good. We could probably throw them in a slide show type setup too, just to save on space width wise. I don't know how many skins Hi-Rez intends to put out, but it could potentially get to be a decent amount for each god, in which case showing them all outside of a slide show could end up taking up a lot of unnecessary real estate. Just a thought. Krayt88 10:31, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Well if need be we can look into that later on. Also we can resize them. All 5 god pages, that have skins, now have them on there. Not the best but it works for now. Tesla 10:34, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
 * That's very true. For the time being we won't have any issues with laying them all out next to each other since the most any god has is a single extra skin. I'm just trying to think ahead, but a slideshow set up wont be necessary for a long time. Krayt88 20:09, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I completely understand and I will look into the possibility for the future. I am not entirely sure if its something we can do, but we will look into it for sure :) Thank again for all your work and ideas of how to improve the wiki. ^_^ Tesla 20:12, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi back to ya

RE: Lore Changes
You sent me a message saying something about lore changes... but I haven't made any lore changes. At all. The only things I've been editing on this wiki are numbers and coefficient values.
 * OMG! I am so sorry, I meant to welcome you to the wiki and send the stuff about the Lore to the person that was doing that. Cause I was going through all of today's changes. Please forgive me. <3 Thank you again for all your hard work! Tesla 22:28, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Info Dump
Hi again Tesla. I have a bunch of data that can be used on various wiki pages but I don't know how to create/add pages (and to be honest don't want to put in the effort, sorry!). So, here goes:

GENERAL

-Starting gold is set at 1500

-Passive gold gained in game is 20 per 10 seconds (or 10 per 5, 2 per 1)

-Passive gold gained from minion kills is 70% of total. Unsure of how it scales, but once it levels off it is 27 gold for melee minions and 19 for ranged minions. These numbers are different in solo practice.

-Lane minions spawn every 30 seconds

-Item resell value is 66.6% of UPGRADE cost, not TOTAL cost. Example: (my Reddit post)

-Ability items cannot be resold

-Consumable items cannot be resold

JUNGLE INFO

-Camps respawn 4 minutes after killed. Buffs (as shown in game) last 2 minutes.
 * Thanks for the info! I will see where we can put this info. :) Tesla 09:23, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

Item spreadsheet question...
Hello Tesla and whoever else reads this. I've been creating documentation for comparing items directly, which of course brought me to making a full item spreadsheet broken down by individual stats. I've done my best to format this in Wiki format and upload it (linked on the main page under the Item header), however was not able to include the passives without it looking bad.

I do have a Google Docs spreadsheet created and fully shared, so was trying to link it, but when I did, it said I was suspected of spam due to link and page size, lol. So just wondering how I can get the link added so people can access the actual sortable spreadsheet. Link is below, lets me post it here for some reason.

 * I will see what we can do about that. Please give me some time! Thank you for your hard work on such a spreed sheet. Tesla 03:10, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

--Hi, my names Giga, and I'm trying to register to add to the wiki, and the Capcha continues to block me from doing so. Don't really know where to put this, but, seeing as you said to leave questions: Why are you guys using cats and dogs for your caphca, and why is it blocking people from signing up? It's not just me, but my friends who are having trouble too...

Ares
Hi, I dug in game data and, for Ares, I found a base model mesh and a loading screen card (probably more in the vein of Thor's blonde concept art), as well as placeholder skill icons (same as Thor's back before he came out, so I used those except for the 1 which was a hammer on Thor's, while it's the actual number 1 on Ares'). I posted his page here: http://www.smitewiki.com/Ares

If you like, you can add him to the front page's god index already. I will see if I can find out more about his skills or some other graphics.
 * Thanks for letting me know! It also means I'll need to prepare the patch notes :) Tesla 16:22, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

Freya (and Ares updates)
Hi, with the latest patch, Ares' icons and images have been updated, so I have put them into his page. Additionally, I have added the page for Freya, who seems to be the next character as she has received placeholder icons and images as well as some textures. I have added her 3D model and her placeholding loading screen card already, and again am re-using the placeholder icons for the skills on her.

So, if you want to update the mainpage again, that'd be cool. I would do it myself, but I don't have the rights for it. :P
 * Funny enough I just datamined last night, so I saw that too! I am pretty excited about Freya. :) One final thing, please make sure to sign then end of your post, when you post on a "Discussion" or "Talk" page. You sign by typing " ~ ". Thanks again for all your work! Tesla 16:54, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
