I started playing this game about 2 years ago and using the information on this wiki I very quickly went from being an idiot to finally getting the gold apocalypse trophy (before equipment rework, RIP anyone trying now with new camera).
What confused me reading through many pages of this wiki then and now is how anyone could conclusively determine many facts presented in various articles on this site. When I first started playing I had no idea how anything worked and was in no place to question any information on this wiki.
Now, after taking a long break and taking it upon myself to rewrite a guide I use as a quick reference, I've noticed a lot of weird very 'edge-case' aspects of ghosts that I can't fathom somebody would've stumbled upon playing the game normally.
For example, the activity section under Banshee strikes me as odd in particular. How could somebody have had the idea to be aware of/fulfill the conditions listed, ensure the event isn't one of two "female ghost vocalizations" (what does that even mean), and observe their sanity dropping 15% vs 10% (when sanity already varies ~6%) is beyond me.
I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt, but unless the developers are updating information here instead of their patch notes, I don't see how any normal player could've discovered this information. I could provide many more examples but I think the Banshee example captures the essence of my concern with many odd claims lacking citations.
I do have the ability to easily and quickly verify this information, but that's all I'd be able to do; verify, not observe. Where are people getting this information from?
TL;DR - A lot of info I've come across on this wiki either doesn't make sense, or it doesn't make sense as to how somebody could've come across that information 'normally'. The way I see it, there's 4 possible answers:
There is some way to de-compile the code I'm unaware of
Kinetic team members are also maintaining this wiki
People are trolling / ignorant
There's some trainer who is putting this info on a table for ppl to read.
Please help clarify? =]
