Revision as of 16:16, 7 June 2016

I'm entering and correcting hero stats. Many of their base stats are false; some of the false entries were my fault - i.e. the entered stats with equipment factored in, rather than actual base stats (as displayed in the marketplace). I'd rather change the wiki than make a .doc for personal use; it's more convenient.

However I've noticed that I've had my editing privileges suspended though (for The Forgetten page). I'm suspecting there's some funny rules with this wiki that I don't know about. :s

p.s. I haven't bothered making an account; also don't know if this is the proper way to reply to messages. I guess I'll leave it to other editors to fix that page.

Your edits seemed erratic, which is why i asked. You are not obliged to create an account, but it does make things easier. — Game widow (talk) 15:56, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
