Infobox
What is wrong with the infobox? ☆The Solar Dragon (Talk - Contribs.)☆ 10:48, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
- It's fine now. It was because Template:! was vandalised. ☆The Solar Dragon (Talk - Contribs.)☆ 11:14, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
"Previous story"
Unless there's actually something in the game that references the events of the yet-to-be-telecast season 5 finale, it's highly doubtful it takes place after The Big Bang. All the advance publicity says it takes place after the events of Victory of the Daleks, so that's what should be indicated, barring any direct reference to suggest otherwise. (I wouldn't know - outside the UK we aren't being allowed to see the game). 68.146.81.123 13:35, June 3, 2010 (UTC)
- I'm not sure "previous story" is supposed to refer to the Doctor's timeline. The question is, what _is_ it supposed to refer to?
- There are two similar cases to look at.
- Attack of the Graske clearly takes place after The Christmas Invasion, and it was also broadcast after that episode. However, it skips the previous and next links in its infobox, and both The Christmas Invasion and New Earth (TV story) ignore it in theirs.
- Music of the Spheres was released between Journey's End and The Next Doctor, but probably does not take place then in the Doctor's timeline. The infobox links to those two episodes anyway, and they both include links to it as well as secondary links to skip over it, and then the Timeline section discusses the issue.
- Just as with MotS, we don't actually know when this occurs in the Doctor's timeline, except that it's some time while the 11th Doctor is traveling with Amy after Victory of the Daleks. It could be directly after that episode, or it could be after the 2011 Christmas special. We really don't know.
- So, the MotS solution seems reasonable. Except that in that case, MotS was the last "episode" in production numbering, and it was broadcast after the last episode as well. In this case, the BBC have said the Adventure Games count as episodes 14-17 of series 5, but and the release dates are interleaved during the year (CotD being between Cold Blood and Vincent and the Doctor), so they don't match, and I have no idea which one is supposed to go there.
- However, the June 2nd release date was an early test version, with the offical release on June 5th. A trailer is being shown after Vincent and the Doctor. So if we go by acutal release date, the game occurs between Vincent and the Doctor and The Lodger.
- Given all this confusion, I think it's best to use the Graske solution and just not have these links. --Falcotron 17:14, June 3, 2010 (UTC)
- If you disagree, please undo this change manually, rather than just reverting, because I accidentally made this change together with a set of other changes.... --Falcotron 17:38, June 3, 2010 (UTC)
- Someone has now not only put this between Cold Blood and Vincent and the Doctor (including putting proper links in those articles), but also added to the Timeline section that it appears before Vincent. I understand the argument for why it has to come after Cold Blood, but how do we know it comes before Vincent? --Falcotron 23:14, June 3, 2010 (UTC)
help
I know this isnt about the article but when I go to play the game it says theres a bug in it and it closes. Can anyone help? Darkraider09 15:53, June 3, 2010 (UTC)
- That happened to me first time. Try again. It worked for me second time. User:Solar Dragon/Signature 16:26, June 3, 2010 (UTC)
- So far I've done it twice still no luck Darkraider09 17:01, June 3, 2010 (UTC)
- Try uninstalling and and reinstalling it again then. User:Solar Dragon/Signature 17:06, June 3, 2010 (UTC)
- There is a whole troubleshooter section on the bbc website. The major problem seems to be slow running.Baziel 03:30, June 4, 2010 (UTC)
- I've checked every Q&A, nothing to whats wrong with mine Darkraider09 12:20, June 4, 2010 (UTC)
Collectables
How many collectables did people find? I didn't explore a huge amount, any did'nt find many ,but I'm pretty sure all those spaces can't have been filled in this one installment - there simply weren't enough places to hide them.Baziel 03:33, June 4, 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah more found later. I've looked everywhere and I believe I've found all of them for this episode which are:
Doctors
- Fifth
- Sixth
- Tenth
Companions
- Amy Pond
- K-9
Friends
- Captain Adelaide Brooke
- Adipose
- Hath
- Liz Ten
Enemies
- Daleks
- Smiler
- Sisters of Water
Jelly Babies
- Chocolate
- Blackcurrent
--Vitas 03:53, June 4, 2010 (UTC)
- If we can get a complete list of these (and I'm sure one of the gamer-nerd sources will have one soon if the BBC doesn't release one), it would probably be worth putting in the article in some form. --Falcotron 06:27, June 4, 2010 (UTC)
Appearing Daleks?
There's conflict even within this wiki as to which Daleks are missing - this page now claims it to be the orange scientists that aren't present, I've looked again and I'm sure that's wrong. The Daleks in the story are clearly the orange ones, If anyone has trouble telling the orange and yellow apart, look at the bumps - the yellow eternal has black ones, all the others are silver. It's the eternals that don't appear.Baziel 20:39, June 4, 2010 (UTC) edit: look at the Victory_of_the_daleks.jpg and compare it to the pic on this page- definitely the scientists in the story and the eternals absent.Baziel 20:43, June 4, 2010 (UTC)
Page has been edited, but that's still the Orange Dalek in the loading screen, the yellow and orange do look very similar though, it's only the black bumps (or lack of them) that show that ones orange 80.0.213.247 02:46, June 5, 2010 (UTC)
Non-UK
I guess this site wouldn't want manual how to run game outside of UK, would it? --TakeruDavis 09:36, June 6, 2010 (UTC)
Help please
I just downloaded City of the Daleks but I need help. Just after arriving on Skaro you need to do that maze to get through the first door. But how do you do it? It is so HARD! I keep hitting the wall. Any hints on how to beat this maze?Fallen5 18:03, June 6, 2010 (UTC)
- Use a steady hand. I did it first time. User:Solar Dragon/Signature 18:05, June 6, 2010 (UTC)
