YOU can help with the Traveler's Guide!
(Revised!)
Each day I get more and more excited as players become interested in helping out with the guide! (link above) Destiny is only going to be partly the experience that bungie serves up for us, and the rest of it will be what WE the players make of it. That's why I love the idea of this guide, because it's a way for the Destiny community to pull together and make the amazing experience ahead of us even better!
Some initial ideas I have about how people can help are as follows:
*Writing
[spoiler]Skilled, insightful writers will be needed for this project! No big pressure, or deadlines here. I just want to deliver the best content possible to the community whenever we can.[/spoiler]
*Pictures
[spoiler]Those players who have next-gen systems also have the amazing ability to screen capture their adventures. This could really help the guide! I'm not sure on the specifics yet, but pics of the different enemies, locations, guns, armor, etc... would be a great contribution to the site.[/spoiler]
*Explorers
[spoiler]This group isn't called Guardian Recon for nothin! When the beta launches I want to organize exploration parties to go out and gather intel for our guide. It would take WAY to long for the writers to find everything on their own, so this is an area where some reliable guardians could be of great help! The findings could be communicated in a number of different ways, then confirmed and written about later.[/spoiler]
*Feedback
[spoiler]I want this guide to help us all become better guardians, but in order to do that better I'd like to know your thoughts! Since I'm not a telepath, an easy way to contribute to this guide is to post your thoughts on the concept and the content available, or tell us about new ideas that we haven't thought of yet. [/spoiler]
*Spread the word
[spoiler]Perhaps the most accessible, and overlooked, way that you can help with this guide is to let others know about it. The more people we get involved with the project, the more content we'll be able to deliver. I can't stress enough how IMPORTANT this is! Go ahead and tell your friends, or post a link somewhere for us. It can only help.[/spoiler]
Let's all do what we can to make this thing awesome!

1 ReplyNice website. It reminds me of what Ascendant Justice was for the old Halo games. Once we get into Beta, I'd actually love to help out and maybe write a few guides. I've been itching to write a guide on the Dead Ghosts [that's kind of redundant] and where to find them in Destiny, but with it ending so soon and the fact that it'll all probably change, I'm waiting for the beta.

4 RepliesI would be interested in helping I will like to help explore when the beta gets here and beyond. Maybe some writing as well.

This will be fun to do

I'll spread the word. I will also report any findings of significance.

1 ReplyEdited by Tim_412AO: 5/28/2014 9:27:03 PMI'm in the beta. Been wanting to cliffjump off the bleeding edge of a game for a while. Unit 412 reporting for scout missions! Appended: My ghost probably wouldn't mind doing some data formatting/writing either. For the Community!

I can't wait to dive in to Destiny! I will share my experiences when I can, and of course spreading the word.

Explorers and writers you say? I have a guardian backstory already written and I will be happy to travel the still mysterious planets on my red sparrow. Just pm me if you ever need someone

2 RepliesEdited by CovetousCash64: 5/26/2014 12:17:12 PMI'm happy to contribute as an explorer and I'm certainly capable of doing my own writing (although I probably won't have time to do others' writing for them). It might be worthwhile now to set up the initial menu structure (Earth/The Moon/Mars/Venus) and any already-known subpages so that they're ready for text when the game becomes available. Wordpress can be tricky with menus - you'll need to use custom menus - so better to get that out of the way now. Edit: The website looks great. My only concern would be storage. If this guide contains a lot of screenshots or even videos, it's going to need a lot of storage. Edit 2: I have an X1, but I'm not sure how to take screenshots with it. It's DVR recordings certainly aren't high quality...

5 RepliesOnce that beta drops, we can start creating tentative entries on locals for your Traveler's Guide. I am hoping to be able to put in ample time each night giving things a whirl and extracting whatever details I can from equipment, locations, and activities. If, in particular, you desire intel on locations, I will cede that to you in an organized and composed fashion. I'm going to guess that for your guide, you will desire a particular format (which we'll probably discuss in this group soon enough) and so what I send need not be the final edit of the info. While I'd consider myself an able writer, I also don't have a great amount of free time with my graduate work. In summary, I can definitely contribute as an explorer and possibly as a writer.

5 RepliesEdited by KiIlworthy: 5/25/2014 2:53:01 AMGonna be sweet! Will love to help as much as I can. I have a cousin who is a lead website designer for a major university...he's a Flippin genius. I was thinking of asking him about what it might take to do an interactive interface of the map of destiny. That way you could organize all Recon Guides and Area Info on a sweet map or something. What were your ideas? I am a busy studying at uni, but I would love to explore, capture screenshots, and write for guardian recon (creative writing minor).
