Talk:NS13

From TheKolWiki

So, this is kind of a weird question, but... How is the Wiki going to handle NS13? I mean, obviously there's going to be a crapload of new content, so how is the Wiki going to handle adding it all? Are they going to not post any spoilers for a certain amount of time after NS13 launches? Is it just going to be a mad rush to create all the new pages for the items and zones? Or does the Wiki have an organized plan for how this is going to be handled? Just curious about what's going to happen, but in any case, I'm looking forward to finding out all the new challenges NS13 will bring.--Sevault 21:36, 4 March 2007 (CST)

• I believe that it would involve creating new quest pages and then changing the part that says when the NS opens up from 11 to 13. Ascension strategy pages may have to be updated also.--Dehstil (t|c) 22:12, 4 March 2007 (CST)
  • I have prepared a template for marking strategy and summary pages that need attention specifically because of this changeover. --Jonrock 16:23, 12 June 2007 (CDT)
• Whatever happens, the NS11 content should be archived in some way for posterity's sake. Cypherpunks 15:48, 12 June 2007 (CDT)
  • You can always look at the history of any page and pick a date in early June 2007, to see the archived state. Most likely any significant changes will simply be notes that say "Prior to NS13, this was ...." (I have argued in favor of having a History section on each page, but have been convinced for now that nothing has had enough in-game changes to make it worth it.) As for the original question, I think the experiences of adding the Manor and the Worm Wood have shown that the Wiki Way Works: just let people go hog wild and do a cleanup a couple of days later and everything settles out without needing a lot of overhead. --Jonrock 16:21, 12 June 2007 (CDT)
• So with NS13 nigh, I was thinking that this article should eventually become a comprehensive, detailed list of changes brought on by NS13. Basically an unofficial changelog. --Prestige 18:36, 24 June 2007 (CDT)

[edit] This page needs to be updated.

It starts here. We should add speculations made that aren't on this article yet. It's been a while since it's been updated. Forum thread about NS13 --MagiNinjA (#1036193) _(t|c) 17:22, 30 March 2007 (CDT)

I think there should be a list of 'target' dates. The last target date I heard of was April 13th, however as that date has come and gone... then new date is way far away.

Many are attempting as many HC runs to HCP skills prior to NS13 (like me)

ummm hangks has been constructed... the page needs to be modifies to state that and hangks current state. i would do it myself, but am unsure of the exact details on how to do that. --T.max 17:31, 27 September 2007 (CDT)

[edit] Purpose of date stuff?

Jick has said many times he wants a thirty day countdown before NS-13. He even mentioned on a recent forum post that he was "a couple of weeks away" from starting the countdown, meaning June 9th is probably out of the picture. I really don't see the purpose in date speculation at all because we really don't know much. But if it must remain, a point about the unlikely hood of the aniversery date should probably be mentioned, right? --CluckyB 23:48, 12 May 2007 (CDT)

I'd say the only note about the date should be the most current guesstimate, for the benefit of those who come to this article seeking that very information. Past predictions are too numerous and--in the long run--not notable enough to bother including. --Prestige 08:58, 13 May 2007 (CDT)

[edit] I may have a problem.

So on the page, it says, and I quote, "One month prior to NS13, Jick posted a list of changes to allow players time to finish their current runs and make other necessary preparations." Does this mean that after the month is up, the current run you're on will reset? This doesn't seem too unreasonable, considering people at different points may glitch the system. Unfortunately, I am level 27 at the moment. I am going for level 30, so that I can be a scourge of seals. I don't know if I'll make it to level 30 in time, and if I do I'll be cutting it close and I will have literally no meat left. Is there anything we know for sure about our current runs being reset, and/or does anyone have some idea how this might go?

I really dont want to have this run be a waste. --Santasassassin 18:27, 30 May 2007 (CDT)

Radio shows and other postings have put the highest probability on this handling, in my understanding:

• If you have not received the NS quest in your current run, you will have to play through Q11 and Q12 before the council will give you the NS quest.
• If you have received the NS quest in your current run, but have not defeated the NS and opened the gash, you will be reset to the bottom of the tower, but the NS quest will not be closed to you. You may complete Q11 and Q12 if you want, or not.
• If you have defeated the NS, you may complete Q11 and Q12, or ascend immediately.
• Your run doesn't count for NS13 leaderboards unless it began under NS13 (i.e., ascension/reincarnation).

I highly doubt that any progress you have made on your current run, other than directly related to the NS quest itself, will be retroactively removed. There are too many high-level nonascenders who would scream murder. --Jonrock 18:48, 30 May 2007 (CDT)

[edit] I think I know what it stands for
