GarciaFever Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Oh! I so totally forgot I actually read that thread and got inspired to write a Jak 3 guide. At first I thought of doing Jak II as well, but because I'm one to use the Orb glitch on Jak II I need a contributor who can do the Orb side missions in order for me to release a Jak II guide, so I went with Jak 3 as I've gotten all 600 Orbs. I also have started Sly 3 as well, but that's only about 5% done. After spending a couple weeks on Jak 3 it might be a while for me to get it written. Edit: Got to celebrate! Those trophy images should be used whenever anyone gets a trophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CM_TiDe Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Hey guys. I've been thinking about writing a guide for the first time lately, and plan on using this event as a motivation to do it! I'm currently enjoying playing Battleborn right now and keeping up with everything without a guide is such a pain. I believe I would like to attempt in making a guide for this massive game, as it would not only help me but many others as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon-Archon Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Well I got 4-5 messages from a certain Dragon notifying me that my guide had been published. I guess the Guide Team can troll people right back with spamming notifications. Lol, good to know . - The pros like us too (Have a member of the guide team join and write a guide during the event) Earned by Dragon-Archon on July 5th 2016 Yay , I really thought this was for mods posting in the thread.

Dragon-Archon Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 (edited) Any tips, suggestions, criticism, or thoughts are always welcome. Most of the guides submitted by first-timers is sent back for revisions. Your guide is very good for a first attempt: The guide is detailed. The information is relevant and to the point. Sentence structure and use of English is good. Sentences don't drag on and aren't riddled with too many commas. Videos has the correct title. Trophy links were embedded with the correct URLs Trophy tags were used correctly. You used a bulleted list to sum up information. Some things to keep in mind for future guides: When you have a long bulleted/numbered list with a few words on every line, it's better to make it a multi-columned list. This prevents readers from scrolling up and down all the time. From the looks of it I could complete the game with this guide and I wouldn't have to look up information on other sites, which is how guides are supposed to be.

CypherNova139 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 oh, oh! Another trophy guess: - Professional Tester Get a guide marked as "Unpublishable".

Lucas Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Screw it, I submitted the Yorbie guide anyways. Just as ''half-ass'' as you said it was yesterday or did you still work some more on it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MStalker58 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Going to try unlocking - Hey all you people. At first I thought this had something to do with a certain number of people joining the event, publishing guides, or something along those lines. However, it's right next to trophies like Marco and KnockKnock on the trophy list so maybe it's similar to those? Based off NerdRage04's avatar and the fact that SpongeBob was the first thing that popped up when I googled the phrase, I'm going to just try this: Won't you listen to me? Some things to keep in mind for future guides: When you have a long bulleted/numbered list with a few words on every line, it's better to make it a multi-columned list. This prevents readers from scrolling up and down all the time. Thanks for the comments and suggestions. I noticed one of my lists was changed to multi-columned and it looked a lot better. Didn't even think about that so I'll definitely keep that in mind for future guides. Going to check out more guides from the pros to try learning formatting techniques like those that make guides look better and more organized.

I did add a picture showing where to get a collectable for a trophy. I would hate for you to waste your time and the guide team's time. This is not how you obtain this trophy. I think Dragon laughed at it, so not a total waste. Dragon, am I correct? Good to know that trophy requires something different! Aaaand it's sent back for revisions ... lots and lots of major revisions. Ok, the first revision is being added now. I may wait a while though, might need to playtest some more. edit - I'm actually writing serious guides after this.

MStalker58 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Damn my attempt at getting " - Hey all you people" didn't seem to work. Been looking over the thread trophies and figured I'd post my guesses. Some of these have been guessed before by other people but now we have more numbers and trophies unlocked so we have a better idea about some of them. Maybe a few are correct or at least might spark an idea in someone else who can figure them out. - Well Aren't We A Social Family - Likeable (a post reached 10 or more likes) Earned by PSNP on June 29th 2016! - Local Icon (a post reached 25 or more likes) - Pop Star (a post reached 50 or more likes) - Oh look, a notification (Over 100 posts have been made to the thread) Earned by PSNP on July 1st 2016! - I think we are trending?

MStalker58 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 (edited) It was the only trophy I didn't have a guess for, but I've finally thought of something for it. Probably wrong but it's the best I could come up with. - Zero to Hero (have a thread member win a premium membership and then publish another guide, sending them into Hero status) EDIT: Or it could be something like have someone's first ever post in the forums be in this thread. That seems like it could be almost impossible though without some boosting with alt accounts. Then again, it'd be a fitting online platinum if it required some boosting. I'm just rambling now so I'm going to stop guessing for a while. Can't think of anything else for some of these harder ones.

Andrea Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I'm making good progress on my Rock Band 4 guide. It's a bit of a difficult guide to structure because there are so many individual parts that go into the platinum. Hoping to have it done by Sunday though.
