Talk:Tower of Barbs

Floors, Districts, Areas, Rooms, Levels, Etc
Some standardized definition for how we refer to floors, the actual areas or levels or go to on a given floor, the sets of floors with similar properties, and the shifting rooms or tiles in an area or level because the game does not.

I propose:


 * Floor:
 * The numbered floors.


 * Districts:
 * The sets of floors 1-10, 11-20, 21-30, 31-40.
 * Max's District, Jackson's District, Crowley's District..
 * D.O.D. ARMS District, War Ensemble District...


 * Areas:
 * The named locations on a floor that you ride to in the elevator or travel between on an escalator.


 * Rotations:
 * The 4 different layouts of areas that the tower can have, which shift from one to the next each day at 0:00 GMT.


 * Rotation 1:
 * The rotation with Sotosenzoku and Metakojiya on the 3rd floor.


 * Rotation 2:
 * The rotation with Kimo-Magome on the 3rd floor.


 * Rotation 3:
 * The rotation with Minemachi on the 3rd floor.


 * Rotation 4:
 * The rotation with Omoki on the 3rd floor.

I think that because the rotations and their areas and the understanding of them were popularized by a spreadsheet made by a 4chan anon and most people seems to be using those terms that way we should probably use them the way most people know them. Thoughts?

Oh, and a standardized method for naming pages that are created about individual areas. The current standard seems to be Ikegara - 1F but I think it'd be a good idea to shift to 1F - Ikegara because having the floor first is way easier for sorting and finding what you're looking for, especially when many floors are so similarly named and they are so numerous.

 * That all sounds fine to me.
 * One thing though - Should we include rotations in the floor names? Something Like "2F - Wanoki (All)" and "1F - Manno (Rotation 1)". I think it would help clarify things anyways.

 * Not sure about that, I feel like it might make getting to and typing in pages difficult, the average user wouldn't immediately know what it means, and there are unfortunately some floors that appear in 3/4 rotations so they'd have to be followed by (R1-3) or something. I think we should leave it for now and see if it seems feasible later? I've made categories for each of the rotations that I'm going to add things to later and I'm looking into infobox templates or something for floor information so it can be sorted better.

 * Sure. We can just have a sentance in each page stating with rotation that area appears in.
 * Renaming pages is fairly easy to do and by default it leaves behind a redirect pointing from the old name to the new name, so if we change our mind later it'll be easy enough to fix..

Gold Chests
Alrighty, apparently some people aren't seeing the notes for the Gold Chests in this page (As there was a Gold Chests page created today), so my question is whether or not we should include a new column on the table that says "Chance of a Gold Chest" or something along those lines and have a sentance somewhere at the top explaining about gold chests and what you can possibly get in them (district specific metals for that tier and the one below it (1-10 = blue, 11-20 = green or blue, 21-30 = black or green, etc) or gold and explaining about how they're always found in trap rooms or carried by treasure tubers.

Change in the rotation?
Looking at today's map, it does not appear to be the same as any of the four rotations listed.

Off of Uge is Fune-Hashi, instead of Kisuyama (R1), Ukisawa (R2) Kitamin (R3), or Takoya/Kami-Umai (R4)

I'm also seeing a node further up Kyuzaka (F17), that does not appear on any of the current rotations on the main page. These all seem to be challenge rooms related to Red Napalm.

Confirmation on the new rotation would be appreciated, and possibly an update of the maps to reflect the current rotation. 134.41.64.222 01:36, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
