In game "encyclopedia"?


(sgtCrookyGrin) #1

While I know that there’s tips on the forums and tips that pop up in the loading screens. I’ve been wondering why not implement an in game tips book that contains all of them in the game and has visuals?

Essentially it’s somewhere on the top right near the settings tab, looks like a book, when your cursor hovers over it it says “tips”. You click on it and it’s organized into different tabs.

(the layout is represented as best as I can figure it out right now, I’m certian someone could come up with something better)

topic

  • general
    ^ specific tips for (each merc, objectives, etc.)

Mercs

  • Medic general
    ^ (Medic name)

  • Assault general
    ^ (assault name)

  • Objective specialist general
    ^ (OBJ SPEC name)

  • Recon general
    ^ (recon name)

  • Fire Support General
    ^ (Fire support name)

Maps

  • Objective general
    ^ (2nd objectives, primary objectives, etc.)

  • Trick jump general
    ^ specific examples
    ^ places on each map

  • Map general
    ^ (spawn locations, wave timer, etc.)

Gunplay

  • ADS general

  • Hipfire general

^ Spread, jumping, shotgun star spread, etc.

Movement

  • General
    ^ movement speeds explained, momentum, physics, etc.

I think you get the picture? It’s basically something for new players and veterans can use to review things in the game, the only issue being this will take time and the community will have to help pitch in creating this massive list.

It gives tips, actual numbers, and is basically a quick visual and readable wiki inside the game for when you’re waiting in the lobby or etc.

What do you all think?

I haven’t read an encyclopedia since… Wikipedia.

Yeah, should be an easier guide for noobies.
Coin flipping/roll
changing clan tag, etc.
Using the guide function.

There’s still that website : http://dirtybomb.wikia.com/wiki/Dirty_Bomb_Wiki

You guys can try to keep it up to date if needed. That could be a decent source of information for new players. I guess that wiki could afford a “beginners guide” explaining the most common errors.
