GameBanshee instead of the official wiki?

[Boeroer]

Hi, 

 

today I discovered that GameBanshee also has a nice database for PoE:

http://www.gamebanshee.com/pillarsofeternity/

 

As far as I can tell (after a quick look) - they have all the lastest items/talents/abilities/chars/quests etc. covered. Everything has detailed descriptions.

 

I find this way better than the official wiki when I try to plan a new build before I really play it.

Navigation is a bit clunky but the content is great.

 

What do you think?  

 

Edit: Oops - some items are missing. E.g. Badgradr's Barricade.

It seems better than the Wiki, but it's missing level 7 spells (or level 4 chants and invocations in the case of the Chanter) which is a shame.

[Boeroer]

Thanks for the find. It seems there is just no reliable source online.

[JerekKruger]

Yeah, it's a shame. I might spend some time adding stuff to the Wiki, assuming I don't need special privileges to do so.

People use the wiki?

I always used Gamebanhsee.

Both are lacking some things. I use both. What I dont like about GameBanshee is that the site is sometimes really slow...

Really? Why didn't you say anything?

Gamebanshee only released their guide a little more than a month ago. And as they said at the time, the White March section is still under construction.

I just realised it's gamepressure I used not  Gambanshee. :D

I guess it is just kinda difficult for an external site to keep track of all the major and minor changes in PoE. Getting a site up is one thing, getting it constantly updated with changes on a game that doesn't have a fixed patching schedule (at least that I know of) is another.

[JerekKruger]

In theory that's the advantage of Wikis: you have lots of users who each make minor corrections which help keep it up to date. The problem with the PoE wiki is it hasn't reached that critical mass of users necessary to keep it up to date, and as a result it's less useful to players so they're less likely to put the time and effort into improving it.

[mosspit]

In a way true. That is common knowledge of how wikis work in which the community drives the content. Numbers is one thing, more importantly it will be the incentive or motivation to do these changes. I for one am a lazy bastard

I contribute to video game wikis, but I'm just not knowledgeable to really work on PoE's. Still I have made a couple of additions/corrections.

No, you don't need special permissions. That's the whole point of wiki! And once you create an account, it's good on all "wikia" sites, so you can use that account for the sites of any game you play.

GameBanshee was instrumental for my achievement of Baldur's Gate No Reload Challenge (with SCS installed). I absolutely love that site!
