Talk:Cult of the Vault locations (Borderlands 2)

How/when to trim the article?

The article right now is surely lengthy. But to me it can be this way until all Vault symbols are found (not sure if that point was reached yet), then each map section could be moved to the map's own article (not sure if all maps alaready have their own article). Opinions?

Also, if there's a way in wikia to automatically create the full CotV locations page from the organized pieces, it would be great. Categories maybe? I don't know much about wikia yet, just sharing my thoughts, maybe they're helpful :)

They've all been found already, it's just up to an admin as to how they wanna go aboutthe shortening or whatever. 120.145.45.157 10:27, October 15, 2012 (UTC)

For starters, all the first person perspective additions can be nuked. We don't need any of that in a wiki article. eg.

• Right before the Slaughter objective, run towards the big Slaughterhouse sign and look behind a nearby pillar.

It could be...

• On the side of a pillar rising from the upper floor in the furthest corner from the arena entrance.

You'll find that when appropriate text replaces junk like, "If you look to your left you will see..." that articles will shed 10%-20% of worthless bloat. -- WarBlade (talk) 11:47, October 15, 2012 (UTC)

First person is fine and often easier provided there is a proper reference point. I've tried to use some in this article and found them useless, (Ironically, IGN has pictures and a map reference but little in the way of text to help find the less obvious ones). We are not talking about walkthroughs here, so perspective doesn't matter provided it is useful. Trying to be clever to save a few words defeats the purpose of the wiki if a large portion of the readers can't use it. 58.7.87.56 15:21, October 23, 2012 (UTC)

Page Links

It strikes me as a gross misuse of the Wiki to use location names to link to a YouTube video instead of the actual Wiki page. The self serving nature is only illustrated by the fact that every link on this page seems to go back to one single YouTube account. Winnersusedrugs (talk) 08:07, October 18, 2012 (UTC)

Correct. If you know of a page, or compilation page, that covers the topic, then please update the links. -- WarBlade (talk) 10:24, October 18, 2012 (UTC)

I find this page horribly useless now, I am a visual person and reading the descriptions of locations is fine but takes much longer for me, but It was much easier for me to just click the link name to go to the page of the youtube video. I don't see what is wrong with someone putting the effort and time into making helpful videos and then putting links to them - saved me a bunch of time instead of finding this page, then clicking the link to the location page and then finding the video.

I have just as much authority on this subject as everyone else, but to me (and I think this is aligned with WarBlade's line of thought), the instructions should NOT take the player by the hand to show the symbol location, walkthrough-style, but give enough information for the player to be able to find them by themselves, sort-of-encyclopedia-style.

Third Wurmwater symbol

I noticed the third WW symbol was not yet listed. I found said symbol in the bandit "fortress" just outside of the entrance to The Rustyards. Its on the wall of a "boathouse" on the outer perimeter directly south of the C.A.R. and directly west of the vending machine. (I have screencaps if needed). I am uncertain of the editing etiquette of a wiki, so if someone more comfortable with it wishes to add this information please be my guest. -- Ravenknight 74.178.201.126 10:29, November 2, 2012 (UTC)
