Guide talk:Getting started

= Any planned "end points"? = So, where can we stop the guide? After we talked about the first boss, or a bit later? --MrUnhandy 19:45, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
 * As it's about Getting Started, I believe the first boss should discuss about Eye of Cthulhu, as it's most likely that the player will encounter this boss first. It can also be hinted about Dungeons and Jungles. For example: "After you've beaten your first boss, you might feel a little more adventurous, and you might find something special if you wander long enough..." --Reginald Danger Safety™ 00:53, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

= Article is in Wrong Point of View = The article should be in 3rd person, talking about how to survive. Parts of the guide are in 2nd person. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 99.127.148.79 (talk).

= Working on some revisions. =

When I came here the first time, I was really desperate for some knowledge on where to start and what to do. So I plan to revise as much of the first few parts as I can, adding information that would help those who come into the game. This will include:

1. Rewriting the character and world creation page, giving more details about each setting.

2. Adding a bit more detail on character movement and hotkeys in the Getting started in your new world section, as well as details on the equipment you start off with.

3. Rewriting the home section to include some more detailed instructions on crafting with a link to the crafting page.

4. Rewriting the combat section to make it more new user friendly.

These are some of the most critical parts of learning how to play Terraria, and needs some work.

I will also try to work in a more neutral view, but as a beginner's guide it helps to come across as easily as you can, which is done by using second person singular words. --Ragen 00:49, 3 June 2011 (UTC)


 * I just updated the Character creation category, so feel free to tell me how it feels.--Ragen 05:45, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
 * "Getting Started in Your New World" has been revised with the changes.--Ragen 15:33, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
 * "Your Very First Home" has been revised with the changes.--Ragen 22:22, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
 * "Defending Your Home" has been revised.--Ragen 12:04, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

How to continue from here.
I think we can really improve upon the rest of this guide. What other kinds of information would we want a new player to have access too?
