I think this requirement should be removed. After all if someone creates a guide with no relevance or outdated content, it's his/her loss. It won't win anyway! But we do need remakes, of course. Most guides from 2014 on forum are not useful anymore. And they are not even on Steam. Edited October 4, 2018 by Aкasha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladiator 1145 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Nice I always wanted to make a Paladin guide since I get so many questions about the class in game and since none existed, at least not up-to-date, I think it's a good opportunity. in 30 days, I can write a novel about playing warspear as a whole So, considering guides for specific classes, it allowed to ask devs/admins for skills formulas in private? Also is there any length maximum to the guides? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, of course, you can always ask about it, but it is better to avoid it. The very presence of such formulas in a guide can frighten and repel a novice. 18 часов назад, Gladiator сказал: Also is there any length maximum to the guides? No, we do not set limits, you can write as many as you like. 13 часов назад, Buudbd сказал: Can I make a guide to everything related to the arena? Of course, I think you will definitely find your readers! 20 часов назад, Aкasha сказал: I think this requirement should be removed. After all if someone creates a guide with no relevance or outdated content, it's his/her loss. It won't win anyway! 1 We'll talk about transferring and adding existing guides later. This should be done only by the authors or those who receive consent from the authors. I think it will be honest! Of course, for this, we will create an incentive reward.

Corona virus 230 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 A few questions: -Will graphics and fun detailing increase chances of winning? -Is it 1 topic or can we give a thorough evaluation of the game? -What format is good? Microsoft Word? Paint? A photo? -Will a shorter guide with strong info better or the same as a long one with the same info but alot of fluff? -How much will an interesting one with valid info be judged over a boring but very informative one?

Of course, since you don't mistake a guide and entertaining content. You can read some guides created by Steam and use them as thermometer ) Quote -Is it 1 topic or can we give a thorough evaluation of the game? well, if you want to create a guide to cover several aspects of the game, I don't see problem with it, since you make clear in the title and subtitle what this is about. Quote -What format is good? Microsoft Word? Paint? A photo? You will write in on Steam, when I think of guides I imagine a text guide. Otherwise this would be a tutorial or info graphic. ( i believe that any material other than text + small illustrative images, will be judged as bonus content) Quote -Will a shorter guide with strong info better or the same as a long one with the same info but alot of fluff? Efficiency comes always in first place. Quote -How much will an interesting one with valid info be judged over a boring but very informative one? I personally would think carefully about creating a big informative guide, because adding a lot of info which is easily found even by newbies in game/forum doesn't make your guide relevant. However "interest" always varies from person to person. I advise you to consider the following points before creating the content: 1. Relevancy: how people need the information and how valuable it is 2. Efficiency: accurate, updated, interesting 3. Target: amount of players who would be benefited from your guide and would like it Good luck! Edited October 8, 2018 by Aкasha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercurry 85 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 If the topic has been already covered on the forums, am I allowed to make my own guide on the same theme? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already existing guides will be transferred to Steam later. We plan to invite the owners to update them in the future. If you have any question regarding a specific theme, link it for me via private message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have another proposal for those guide owners to be announced in the future. Edited October 15, 2018 by Aкasha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaddafi 14 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 (edited) I have an issue with posting a guide on steam. All I get is an error page and denied access. Edit: ok so I actually need to play the game through steam so I can make a guide about it, which makes this contest utterly useless for us phone users.
