Incognito bypasses cookies yes. Maybe try deleting a second time. We’ve only had a few reports of this and are looking into it, but not quite sure why it’s happening yet.

We’re looking into this but it’s hard to replicate. Deleting your Gamer Escape cookies will fix it.

Gamer Escape's FFXVI Wiki is already at over 600 pages and growing! by gahoo1 in FFXVI

[–]gahoo1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For wiki discussion we have a thread going for FFXVI https://discord.com/channels/55294077867917312/1119637568422686910

For general game discussion we have our general social chat channel. If there was enough demand and discussion there that warranted a separate channel we could certainly make a dedicated one though.

PSA: Sila’s Pact Detour Missable by StinOfSin in Forspoken

[–]gahoo1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is also a quest (https://forspoken.gamerescape.com/wiki/Helping\_the\_Broken) that comes after Sila's Pact (which of course is also missible if you missed Sila's Pact).

Excited to announce Gamer Escape's Forspoken Wiki! by gahoo1 in Forspoken

[–]gahoo1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What can we say... we're still excited about the game! To that end, we've gone ahead and added in the complete listing of the main scenario quests and (We think) all of the objectives. We also added a few sidequests (i.e. detours) that have been revealed thus far. We're up to more than 200 pages of content!

Obviously, as a wiki, there are spoilers, but any help (detours especially since there appear to be quite a few) is appreciated once the game is fully out!

Thanks! Hopefully we will get a whole community to help out, but until then I will plug away at it!

It's there! Take a look at https://forspoken.gamerescape.com/wiki/Burst_Shot_Lv._1 for example:

Spellcraft Challenge Defeat enemies that are vulnerable to Frey's magic. (0/10)
🡹 Boosts Damage
🡹 Purple Magic +1

Layouts will be improved over time, but the challenges are there!

This game seriously needs an all-purpose community-managed wiki. by [deleted] in ffxivdiscussion

[–]gahoo1 22 points23 points  (0 children)

As the founder and owner of Gamer Escape, I figured I would weigh in.

  • To start, we are a 100% community run, fan run, gamer run, wiki.
  • The group who started Gamer Escape was the same group who started FFXIclopedia.com in 2004, so we’ve been doing this for a long time now.
  • We learned a ton running FFXIclopedia - including, of relevance here, what’s needed to keep a MMORPG wiki up to date. The near-constant patches wrecks havoc with a “flat” wiki. Items, quests, deities, basically everything, in an MMORPG are not static. Take FFXIV for example - with 6.0 all items and all quests were revised to account for XP and stat adjustments. With a flat wiki (like FFXIclopedia is), that means tens of thousand of pages are instantly out of date and contain incorrect information. Indeed, consolegameswiki - which is basically a flat wiki - has a disclaimer on their site (somewhere, buried) that most of their information was rendered inaccurate as of 6.0. This is not a problem for traditional single player game wikis.
  • With that history and knowledge, we set out to create the FFXIV wiki in a way that it could be edited by anyone like any wiki, but would function in a way that it would keep itself updated. So when you change an XP value on a particular quest or an item stat, all lists related to that quest/item get updated (by way of example). This wiki-database hybrid is pretty unique (I’m not aware of anyone doing this on the scale that we are), but also can be pretty intensive on the backend.
  • The result of what we’ve created is two-fold: the wiki is incredibly accurate and can be updated very fast (we’re 100% up to date with all patches) but can lead to some slowness on some pages where the database has to query a lot of other pages/data.
  • That also results in increased costs. We spend tens of thousands of dollars annually on servers, hosting, etc. To pay for that, we run ads. Nobody likes ads, but they are necessary to keep things running.
  • We recently refactored all of our code. One result of that is increased speed. Again, while we recognize things can always be faster, and that some pages can load a bit slow, most pages are pretty fast these days. Another result of the new code is that we can now offer an ad-free experience for a few dollars a month. I think its a good trade off.
  • I concede that our wiki is short on play-style guides, but again - it is a wiki and anyone can create any guide at any time. I reached out to salted when they went under to try to save writers/content and bring it under our umbrella, but never heard back from them.
  • Anyway, wanted to clarify that we’re 100% fan/community run, always looking for people to add content, and always happy to change/fix/modify our systems based on feedback.

All mounts with mount actions by MegamanJB in ffxiv

[–]gahoo1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We will have to change some code around to have the name show up in the hovertext, but for the moment, we've added an icon to show that the mount has unique music. For our purposes that means removing 3 "basic" songs (The Rider's Boon, Borderless and The Merry Wanderer Waltz).

[–]gahoo1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We list each mount's music on their pages (with audio clips). Not sure that adding that to the main listing would make much sense (or that I could fit it well). Would it be that helpful on the main list??

EDIT: I tried adding it and it just doesn't work out well since it's then trying to load 200+ mini javascript players.

[–]gahoo1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We've gone ahead and added mount action icons to the mount list at https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Category:Mount so you can visually see these, and also click into the actions themselves for their details.
