Thank you for the advice! There are many categories for Unity, so it can get confusing sometimes. I will definitely take your advice and improve my work. Saving Private Ryan (talk) 17:45, November 30, 2014 (UTC)

Liberation
Hey Crook......

What is the difference between the real life liberation and the in-game liberation???

And in which of the two does it say that you (player) purchased it from abstergo??


 * Jayam, I'm going to reiterate what Sima said. It's getting a tad annoying answering your questions when you can find the answers yourself by reading the relevant pages.


 * "In-game Liberation" is the Abstergo entertainment product, "real life Liberation" is Assassin's Creed III: Liberation, the Ubisoft game originally released on PS Vita and then ported to PS3, Xbox360 and PC. Aside from that, there are no real differences - one exists inside a fictional universe, the other exists in the real world. 16:50, December 4, 2014 (UTC)

Frontier
Crook, after Lessons and Revelations when you're in freeroam, I assume you can't just leg it to the other end of the Homestead and try heading for the Frontier, right? Is a path even there, or a memory wall pops up to threaten you with desync like a club bouncer? -- Kainzorus Prime ⚜  Walkie-talkie  21:24, December 5, 2014 (UTC)


 * I actually didn't think to try that - I remember going in the direction of where Myriam's hunting cabin would be in AC3. A memory wall popped up eventually and, following it, seemed to be put there to block my way to the beach - it was gone after I completed Lessons and Revelations. I didn't try in the opposite direction (I think I didn't even travel to the bridge over the river :s). I'll have a look when time allows. 21:28, December 5, 2014 (UTC)


 * I had a go today. Animus walls on all sides, I'm afraid. You can cross the river via the bridge, but the Animus wall pops up immediately after, so you can't go to the area where all the residents will have their homes, or beyond. The cliff that Shay eventually ends up at, chased by all the Assassins, in "Freewill" is also off-limits actually.


 * Checked out the little house where you find Faulkner in AC3 as well, but there was nothing of note there either. 15:46, December 8, 2014 (UTC)

Rogue Protagonist
That sucks oh well. But why would they change Silent Protagonist with the drop of a hat they aren't like the historical Assassins. With the Historical Assassins I get why but with the Silent Protagonist it makes no sense. I mean are they going to have new Silent Protagonist in every new Assassin's Creed game. --Cococrash11 (talk) 00:05, December 6, 2014 (UTC)

My wires
They are not crossed. Originally, I was going to chock that up to writing those templates at midnight, but I checked the guide just to make sure :P 00:18, December 6, 2014 (UTC)


 * Woops. My bad, Storm :p Silly game guide makers got their wires crossed then. 08:55, December 6, 2014 (UTC)

So, that argument is missing in all BH/RV fullsynchs, and pretty sure in most of 3 as well. We'll have to both rectify that sometime. -- Kainzorus Prime ⚜  Walkie-talkie  21:44, December 8, 2014 (UTC)
 * Do ACB and ACR have more than one fullsync requirement? Memories with only one don't need the code. 21:49, December 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * Don't they? Whoops, I might've put some of Liberation's memories that have one 1 full sync constraint in . 21:56, December 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * We're making this happen. For unification's sake. -- Kainzorus Prime ⚜  Walkie-talkie  16:21, December 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * Fiiiiiine. So, we're fixing the sizes of the full sync constraints. Shall I start with Revelations then? 16:29, December 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * Yes, I'll tackle BH and AC3. -- Kainzorus Prime ⚜  Walkie-talkie  16:30, December 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * 'Kay. Are we putting all full sync constraints small, or only the memories that have multiple ones? I'm guessing the former, seeing as I can't remember Brotherhood/Revelations having more than one. 16:34, December 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * Yes, we're going Full Spectrum Warrior on all of them. -- Kainzorus Prime ⚜  Walkie-talkie  17:36, December 9, 2014 (UTC)

Slash
I noticed that you've been adding slashes in the dialogue coding. Both I, Crimson and Slate have been removing those since they just add unnecessary coding. Does it actually change anything?--Bovkaffe (talk) 11:02, December 14, 2014 (UTC)


 * It doesn't, but I am not really the one adding them. Ever since the third memory or so for Rogue, I've just used  to move down snippets of dialogue. I think Wikia adds those 'slashes' automatically, so there's not much that I can do about it.


 * I don't think there's any difference between  and   btw, so it's a tad annoying. Sorry :s  11:11, December 14, 2014 (UTC)

Initiates
Where did you get those nice improved images?--Bovkaffe (talk) 14:40, December 18, 2014 (UTC)


 * Here. If there's one thing Access the Animus is good for, it's finding artists that worked on the franchise :) 14:43, December 18, 2014 (UTC)

IRC
Could you meet me on the IRC at some point in the future? I have a favour to beg of you. -- 15:16, December 20, 2014 (UTC)


 * I'll be there in 30-ish minutes. 15:20, December 20, 2014 (UTC)


 * UPDATE: Make that 'the amount of time it takes me to install a client'. Which, considering my general ineptitude, I don't count being anytime soon tbh. 16:04, December 20, 2014 (UTC)


 * Aw well. Let me know when you're available. There's no rush. -- 16:08, December 20, 2014 (UTC)


 * I'm there and ready to chew Sima out for being all "get a client it's easy bitch". 16:30, December 20, 2014 (UTC)

Oh balls, I completely forgot about this, sorry. I won't really be available much until the 31st, so I hope that works for you. But I have something else to ask. When you played Rogue, did you get Altaïr, Ezio, Connor, Edward, or Arno outfits? Because I should have received them all (except Arno's), but I haven't yet. -- 01:36, December 27, 2014 (UTC)


 * I'll try to be there, if I don't forget :p As for the legacy costumes in Rogue, I don't have them either. I frankly doubt they're in there tbh, but who knows. I wonder if someone has a video of Shay in the legacy outfits :s 09:11, December 27, 2014 (UTC)


 * Well, there's this.
 * I am peeved. I really want to run around in Edward's robes. -- 14:33, December 27, 2014 (UTC)

Sharks
Heeeey! Thanks for getting me out of trouble! Oh, and sh**,  i left a post on MasterYiSama or whatever's talk page cause it was at the bottom... -_-. Anyways, Great White Sharks are only found in Serranilla and Charlotte, apparently, I found it in the fine print of a gaming article.


 * Sima is our bureaucrat - the person in charge if you will. He won't mind your message being there :) Thanks for looking that up, I couldn't find it myself. Just to clarify, I don't edit maliciously. If I remove stuff you wrote, it's because it isn't written according to the rules - I will adapt it if I can, but if it's "out-of-universe" information, it probably can't be salvaged. Alright, thanks for reading ^^ 14:58, December 29, 2014 (UTC)

Okay, we quite obviously disagree on the Great White Shark page... xD. Anyways, I do most certainly think that the Introduction requires a heading, otherwise, it looks strangely tacky (in my personal opinion). Also, if anyone wants actual information on Great White Sharks, they can head over to Wikipidia, but I thought the point of Wikia was to provide facts specificly tailored to the needs of the subject that you created the wikia off of. In this case, we're supposed to provide information about the games, not really Great White Sharks in general... But that is a very decent filler.


 * Sorry - as I've said in the message on you talkpage, the Assassin's Creed Wiki takes an in-universe approach. It is written like Wikipedia on purpose. It's not merely a personal taste, it's a general rule that editors abide by. I realize this approach might not make every visitor happy, but it's the approach that's been chosen. We aim to be an encyclopedia, not a game guide :s 15:22, December 29, 2014 (UTC)

IRC Problem
Hey, I just wanted to ask how to exactly talk on or even go to the IRC......everytime I go there it asks me my nickname and when I enter it, it always says tha my nick isn't registered...so everytime I enter my email adress, password and then I enter the code sent to my email and then the next time I go on the IRC it asks me to registrate my nick......what's up with that?????

I even have the App 'Hexchat' but there I don't know which lobby is good......or anything. But it doesn't matter as I don't know anybody except the admins and staff members' names........well, except you.

Jayam (talk) 10:20, January 5, 2015 (UTC)


 * Uh well, you can select "Beginner", which'll take you to the "Connect to Xertion IRC" page. If you've registered your name, all you need to do is type it in. The channel should be filled in already, but if it isn't, type #ACWiki. Press enter, at which point it should ask you to fill in your password.


 * After that, you should be in. Though webchat can get a bit wonky sometimes :s Some people recommend Hexchat and the like, but I know nothing about how those work so, I can't help you there, I'm afraid.


 * Nowadays there's not always people, but you'll generally see some of the staff members' names in the list on the right. Storm will usually respond, Sima might not (his nick is always on the list, but he might not actually be present in the chatroom). 10:29, January 5, 2015 (UTC)

IRC Contd.
Hey, the registration problem is finished....thankfully....but i still don't know where to type....or how to respond...that's why i'm not able to respond to you!!

And I still don't know why is Hexchat there when one can talk on the IRC and what lobbies are good where I can actually talk to other people .... Jayam (talk) 10:35, January 5, 2015 (UTC)


 * There should be a bar at the bottom of the chatroom. Just type in your message there and hit enter :)


 * Well Hexchat is kind of a different "engine", so to speak. It'll send you to the same chatroom, the layout might just be a little different. As for other lobbies, dunno :P I've only used the irc to chat with the wiki people. 10:38, January 5, 2015 (UTC)

And now again its saying to registrate...and that my nickname is already in use.....this happenned after i accidentally reloaded the page.... :/!!

Jayam (talk) 10:41, January 5, 2015 (UTC)


 * Wait a short time before logging in again, the previous "you" (the nickname that's already in use) will log out automatically after a minute or so. 10:43, January 5, 2015 (UTC)

Re:Images
Alright. Thanks for the info.--SlugDrones • (Contact) 08:57, January 16, 2015 (UTC)


 * No problem; I found a higher quality version of the image you uploaded by the way. You can find it here. If you have any further questions regarding the sourcing of images, feel free to leave me a message. (I won't be able to respond immediately as I have to take an exam soon, but I'll be able to reply to you later today, if necessary). 09:00, January 16, 2015 (UTC)

Hi
Iron Man, Crook. Iron Man. -- 12:16, January 25, 2015 (UTC)


 * Not now, Sima. I has a lot of material to get through by Wednesday :| Iron Man will have to wait for now. 12:20, January 25, 2015 (UTC)

Material, Crook. Material. -- 12:23, January 25, 2015 (UTC)

Encyclopedia
Crook, can you check to see if the Observatory is referred to as a temple or vault in the Encyclopedia? Does the Jerusalem entry still refer to the location where Altaïr retrieved the Apple of Eden as a First Civilization vault? Are the Memory Seals and Prophecy Disks labelled as Pieces of Eden? -- 13:07, January 28, 2015 (UTC)


 * Will Ricardo recover from his sudden coma? Will we find out if Maria two-times on him while he lays in his hospital bed? Will we ever discover the link between Ricardo and his long-lost missing step-half-twin brother?! Find out next time on Los Hospital de Amor! *Spicy Mexican theme with maracas plays* Slate Vesper (talk) 17:58, January 28, 2015 (UTC)

Jajaja. Has hecho un error, Slate. Es El Hospital. Vas a avergonzado jajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajaja. -- 18:04, January 28, 2015 (UTC)

Game Patch Request By March 10
Hello There, I Just wanted to let you know that AC:Rogue has major bugs in naval gamplay and the combat in this game.

List of In-Game Problems


 * Problem 1: How come british ships are coyping the names form Assasisin's creed IV:Black Flag?


 * Problem 2: How did the british troops attack shay while he is a templar? and French troops attack him as an Assassin; Doesn't he help them win the Seven Years War?


 * Problem 3: Why Didn't the Russian/Spainish ships appeared in the game?; They were supposed to be fighting alongside the French.


 * Problem 4: Why did the Naval Battle music plays only one song.


 * Problem 5: Why there are only (12 Ship of the line/Man O' War), (9 frigate), (10 brig) and (14 schonner), ship names in the french navy fleet?


 * Problem 6: How there are only Two levels of Man O' War 36 and 49 in this game. They should range from levels 30 (56 Firepower-8 Speed), 36 (63 Firepower-9 Speed), 49 (66 Firepower-20 Speed), 60 (70 Firepower -30 Speed), and 73 (82 Firepower-44 Speed).


 * Problem 7: How come the Legendary Battles copied the ships from black flag?


 * Problem 8: The French ships 'colors of the sails and hulls are not exactly the actual color in the seven years war.


 * Problem 9: The last and the most serious problem of the game are the graphics. They tend to glitch randomly in the game.

And btw, Tell Ubisoft Games about that.

 * I don't work for Ubisoft. Also, none of things you're listing are "bugs", except for the last one :s 08:26, February 15, 2015 (UTC)

Source
Since you always find concept pieces, would you trace this to its origin? -- Kainzorus Prime <font color="#7575DB" size="6">⚜  <font color="#4C99A6">Walkie-talkie  20:45, February 15, 2015 (UTC)


 * Is this your own scan? I can't really say anything from looking at the piece of art itself. Usually I find concept art by looking for an artist's watermark ^^; If the scan's yours, you could check the names listed in the credits of the art book (this is a scan from the art book, yes?), and we could narrow it down from there.


 * My guess right now (that isn't really based on anything) would probably be Patrick Lambert :P Unfortunately, he posts none of his work online so there's no way I could check. 20:51, February 15, 2015 (UTC)


 * Nah, I nabbed it from german wiki when looking for how much images were stolen from us by now. Sometimes I find things like this over there, though. -- <font color="#7575DB" face="OCR A" size="4">Kainzorus Prime <font color="#7575DB" size="6">⚜  <font color="#4C99A6">Walkie-talkie  20:58, February 15, 2015 (UTC)
