(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!

Edited 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...
