Has Fextralife communicated on guide timeline

[Ana]

The game release is in 7 days and Fextralife has half subclasses not fully written.

I was wondering if anybody had heard anything about when Fextralife would finish their guide?

Thx 🧡

Fextralife...Not the place i would go for good information.
BG3 Wiki does not have them updated either till seeing them in their full released version.

no one should EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER follow fextra life guides

Skip fextra. Don't enable them and their ♥♥♥♥♥♥ practices.

Fextra DOS2 guides were awful. I don't know who is writing the BG3 guides, but honestly, just read the Dnd 5e rules instead.

i would wait until the game releases and go by the DnD 5th edition rules and hanbook for theorycrafting beforehand. That's because the game will have alot of changes and homebrew. They also mentioned making alot of balance changes to monk and so on. So following DnD rules might not acually be correct always. And about fextra i don't have any issue with him/the channel/website. Not all guide they make are ''optimal'' but they do have some useful information sometimes.

I don't fully get it.

Why is Fextralife bad for BG3?

Why would I refer to my Phb when BG3 has its own rules? (can't find oathbreaker, wild magic barbarian, spore druid, etc)

No harm, just a honest question 😊

It'll remain to be seen how good a job Fextra does with BG3, but they were downright sloppy with DOS2, so I don't have high hopes. There are other wikis to choose from if you want to go that route.

Fextralife is okay for game information, e.g class feats, stats, etc., which seems to be what you're looking for.

What everyone in this thread are referencing are Fextralife's build guides, which are notoriously terrible. They tend to prioritize "cool factor" over actually being useful, which leads a lot of new players into sucking at the game and not realizing it's because Fextralife's builds are objectively awful.

You're better off going in blind and winging it than taking any build advice from Fextralife.

TL;DR: Fextralife is fine for objective game information, but ignore any subjective opinion you find on there, or you'll find the game much harder than it should be.

This wiki is a lot cleaner and convenient.

I mean if they don't realize it, that means they got through the game with it, so does it really suck? I know gamers today have this thing where only optimal is good and everything else is trash but objectively I'd say if you can complete a game with a build, it doesn't actually suck.

Not that I care either way, I don't use guides or build blueprints.

Fexxtralife is a 100% paid shill site, don't give them any clicks.

The thing is, they don't make it through with the guide.

If you've been in the DOS2 community at any point in the last six years, here or Reddit or elsewhere, you've seen threads like "I'm stuck in act 2, is this game unfair?!? My party has an Eternal Warrior, a Frost Paladin, a Magick Archer, and an Elusive Enchanter, but I can't beat any fights". And everybody says "Well, you should abandon your terrible Fextralife builds and actually learn the game".

Their builds are continually used because they have great SEO. If you're struggling in DOS2 and google for help, you're going to find Fextralife, and their website layout looks good so you assume they know what they're doing... and then you find yourself with terrible builds and no idea why they're so bad.

I'll never understand the hate boner people have against fextralife. Obviously their guides aren't perfect, they're a small team tasked with having to write dozens of guides in a short period of time so they're not all going to be perfect. However generally they're fine as introductory guides when first starting.

I don't care if they embed twitch views, I don't care if their site has ads, I don't care if the new wiki is better now. For 3 years their site was all we had and I'm grateful to them for being able to use it all these years.
