Talk:Player Destruction

Update tag

This could be a tougher edit (certainly beyond a mobile edit from this sunny chair in the open plaza at Legends in Kansas City); changes would need to be coordinated across at least four articles. I would be happy to do it, but this would have to be tacked to the end of my Halloweens Past updates, which are soon to be greatly expanded (I hope).

The two PD maps have equivalent drops/pickups and a common pickup delivery concept. But the two delivery mechanisms are incompatible; the extensive Watergate delivery description here should be sharply attenuated. Deleted content could be reviewed for reuse in Watergate. If future updates introduce reuse of either delivery mechanism (souls most likely), then maybe the delivery mechanisms could be then covered here as submodes.

What would be a good abstract name for the bottle/soul pickups? Player Drops? Death Drops? Kill Pickups? Mikado282 (talk) 12:45, 15 October 2017 (PDT)

I have made a partial stop-gap update to the article. I will need more time to study the four articles.

Most of the present changes are in the intro, but I think it needs more detail.

Does "scoring pickups" work?

The Underworld delivery happens over time on the island, maybe like the tractor beam in Watergate, fighting and stealing souls on either the first or second island or both, maybe, and but I need play time to test it.

I might also make the Maps section table translation-switching.

Question: the Development section seems to violate article style, as what happened before the release might be treated the same as what happened before present updates. Should the Development section be deleted? Please Comment. Mikado282 (talk) 18:58, 15 October 2017 (PDT)

"scoring pickups" sounds fine to me.

I forgot Pit of Death existed lol.

It might be inconsistent, I guess, but it seems like a good enough section for me. Written well enough. Seems like a waste to delete it unless there's another article to put it in. ⇒ Anyar (talk/contributions/giveaway) 05:40, 16 October 2017 (PDT)

Players-Seconds table

Does this table apply only to Pit of Death as the article is presently organized or does it apply to all Player Destruction maps. If the table applies to all pd maps, are the time values the same? M I K A D O 282 oOOOOo oo oo (talk) (Help Wanted!) 13:22, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

Scoring section

The "Scoring" section should be moved to each individual map article, rather than all being here. A generic description of how scoring works (e.g. "Players pick up a unique pickup item on each map. Periodically, the scoring area on the map opens, allowing players to deposit their pickups and score points") can be added, but the specifics of each map should be contained to their own articles.
