==Gameplay== |
||
This is the first Spyro game that a player can fly at any time they want (free-fly mode). The game also features a co-op (two player) play with Cynder, which introduces players to drop-in/drop-out with the cooperative feature. The co-op feature allows players to have the option of completing the game as either Spyro or Cynder, also giving them the power to switch between Spyro and Cynder, giving them more freedom to explore Spyro's world in completely new ways. It was confirmed that Spyro retains his commandments of fire, electricity, earth and ice, while Cynder controls poison, wind, shadow and fear. The powers were given to her when she was controlled by the Dark Master, in addition to being faster but weaker. She is seen breathing fire in "A New Beginning", a power she can only access in her giant form. Along with the standard power ups that gems will bring, Spyro and Cynder can now both equip dragon armor in pieces that they find. They also have another feature called: "melee combos" which means the players can do a number of hit combos to their enemies and the more the hit combos, the more experienced Blue Gems the players will earn. There's also Red gems, that give the dragons more health. The Green gems give the dragons breath energy, that let the dragons use there powers. You'll run out when the green magic bar is empty. There's also purple gems, (also known as fury gems) that let the dragons do a devestating move. You need a certain amount of purple gems to do this. The Prologue level is where Spyro and Cynder are wearing two green glowing snakes on their necks and it will attach to each other to be stuck together at all times and they have to defeat a certain amount of foes before they are set free. The first level is called the "The Enchanted Forest, where the "catacombs" first attack the dragons. The main enemy of this game is called the "Dark Master" who is the first purple dragon. |

[[User:Realist2|Realist2]], [[User:156.34.142.110|The Real Libs]], [[User:Rodhullandemu|Rodhullandemu]] |
|||
In this epic culmination, or "climax" game, [[Spyro the Dragon (character)|Spyro]], [[Sparx]] and [[Cynder (character)|Cynder]] wake up in the future. In the final chapter of the trilogy, players find Spyro teaming up with Cynder to face and defeat Malefor, the Dark Master, hopefully saving the Dragon World from evil and darkness that is plaguing it. |
|||
The game starts with a mysterious set of enemies who enter the ruins of The Mountain of Malefor, where Spyro and Cynder remain frozen in crystal after their fight with Gaul. The enemies break open the crystal, put glowing green snakes, whose effects are to keep Spyro and Cynder together at all times, on the two dragons' necks and take them away, leaving Sparx, who awakens moments later in the palm of the Hunter of Avalar, who observed the whole scenario unfold from the shadows. Meanwhile, Spyro and Cynder awaken in a dark area, wondering what has happened to them. Because Spyro and Cynder have been trapped in a crystal for three years, they've grown up a lot since The Eternal Night. |

==Assessments== |
|||
I've been trying to craft a sensible approach (proactive compromise?) on assessments that everyone can agree on. At the moment I'm thinking we should restrict written assessments to 'B-class' (of which there are now about 75) - three of us took a month to rate the 50-odd articles of the Wagner Project, so even doing the 75-100 'B's would be a substantial job - not use 'C-class' at all, and have nominal assessments (as now) for 'start'. (Stub/FA/GA processes would remain as at present.) |
|||
Is this something you think you might be able to go along with? Please let me know if you have any questions. |

Despite a request on the [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard]] for a neutral, uninvolved admin to close the discussion, no one volunteered - doubtless put off by the sheer scale of the discussion. |

Wikipedia published its 5,000th article on opera on 4 September. The article was on 'La púrpura de la rosa' (1701) by Tomás de Torrejón y Velasco, the first known opera to be composed and performed in the Americas. |
|||
Jonathan Miller famously said said that only 30 (or was 20?) operas were worth performing, but the Opera Project, a group of editors dedicated to raising the profile of opera on Wikipedia and on the Net, heartily disagree. They plan to write articles on more than 2,000 individual works. So far more than 1400 operas are covered by articles in various stages of completion. |

There are also about 550 articles on opera composers, |

==Stub changes: Should I quit?== |
|||
Where are we now? Can someone summarize the changes that have been made? Can someone tell me how many articles are effected? |
|||
Until this past weekend, the Opera Project was the only classical music, or theatre-related, project with a well-organized body of stubs and stub rated articles. ''I know'' because '''I've been using the stubs on a daily basis.''' I've been using them not only for stubbing, destubbing, and rating, but also for bot runs and compiling statistics for article development (stub to non-stub ratios). |
|||
For several months, I've been working on the bannering and the slow, consensus-based introduction of assessments on three major music-related projects. The '''Opera Project''' has been by far the best organized of the projects. Instead of being fragmented with a host of silly, impractical categories, the whole corpus of opera articles has been easily accessible. This means we've been able to make sure that all the articles follow our guidelines and participants here have a good understanding of editorial and content problems over a range of articles. Most other project editing groups, in contrast, are unaware of all but a few articles in their subject area, with most pages being written and edited (or rather ''not'' edited) without the project ever being involved. |
|||
We've been trying to code a bot run to rate stub-bearing '''Classical Music Project''' articles as sub ''class''. This has been difficult (in fact we've got nowhere) because of the proliferation of cross-project stubs. Instead of the manageable pair of stubs used by Opera, Classical Music have around 40-50! (I still haven't been able to verify the exact number.) There is a page 'dedicated' to the problem '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Classical music/Stubs|here]]'''. It's a kind of monument to stub-proliferation: dinky sets (e.g. bowed-musician-stub, cellist-stub, violinist-stub) with visible text that doesn't always correspond to the template name (e.g. Conductor-stub which is also for jazz band leaders) created by people apparently unaware of any need to ''study'' classification systems - or, of course, to quantify anything at all! |
|||
As the '''unofficial dust-pan-and-brush-carrying janitor''' for the project, I can only do my job if the rubbish/garbage bins are left in the little room at the end of the corridor on the second floor. It's a small dirty little room, but the kettle is in there and I can put up my feet . . . . Anyway if everything is going to change and we are going to have 50-odd brightly coloured bins, all decorated with flags, distributed around the building, then frankly I want to have ''nothing'' to do with it. I'd like to retire and spend more time in the garden! |
|||
So if the stub/category etc. system is going to be completely <s>buggered up</s>, uh, ''changed'', I'd like to quit as janitor, and suggest that we choose a '''[[Wikipedia:Coordinators#Co-ordinators|project coordinator]]''' to take over the job. ''Have a nice day!'' |

The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon is the third and final installment in The Legend of Spyro trilogy, as well as the tenth anniversary game of the series that is set to release on October 21, 2008 for Xbox 360, Wii, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3 and Nintendo DS. Although Krome Studios developed the last two Legend of Spyro games, Etranges Libellules will develop the console editions of Dawn of the Dragon, while Tantalus Media are doing the Nintendo DS version.
Gameplay
This is the first Spyro game that a player can fly at any time they want (free-fly mode). The game also features a co-op (two player) play with Cynder, which introduces players to drop-in/drop-out with the cooperative feature. The co-op feature allows players to have the option of completing the game as either Spyro or Cynder, also giving them the power to switch between Spyro and Cynder, giving them more freedom to explore Spyro's world in completely new ways. It was confirmed that Spyro retains his commandments of fire, electricity, earth and ice, while Cynder controls poison, wind, shadow and fear. The powers were given to her when she was controlled by the Dark Master, in addition to being faster but weaker. She is seen breathing fire in "A New Beginning", a power she can only access in her giant form. Along with the standard power ups that gems will bring, Spyro and Cynder can now both equip dragon armor in pieces that they find. They also have another feature called: "melee combos" which means the players can do a number of hit combos to their enemies and the more the hit combos, the more experienced Blue Gems the players will earn. There's also Red gems, that give the dragons more health. The Green gems give the dragons breath energy, that let the dragons use there powers. You'll run out when the green magic bar is empty. There's also purple gems, (also known as fury gems) that let the dragons do a devestating move. You need a certain amount of purple gems to do this. The Prologue level is where Spyro and Cynder are wearing two green glowing snakes on their necks and it will attach to each other to be stuck together at all times and they have to defeat a certain amount of foes before they are set free. The first level is called the "The Enchanted Forest, where the "catacombs" first attack the dragons. The main enemy of this game is called the "Dark Master" who is the first purple dragon.
Plot
In this epic culmination, or "climax" game, Spyro, Sparx and Cynder wake up in the future. In the final chapter of the trilogy, players find Spyro teaming up with Cynder to face and defeat Malefor, the Dark Master, hopefully saving the Dragon World from evil and darkness that is plaguing it. The game starts with a mysterious set of enemies who enter the ruins of The Mountain of Malefor, where Spyro and Cynder remain frozen in crystal after their fight with Gaul. The enemies break open the crystal, put glowing green snakes, whose effects are to keep Spyro and Cynder together at all times, on the two dragons' necks and take them away, leaving Sparx, who awakens moments later in the palm of the Hunter of Avalar, who observed the whole scenario unfold from the shadows. Meanwhile, Spyro and Cynder awaken in a dark area, wondering what has happened to them. Because Spyro and Cynder have been trapped in a crystal for three years, they've grown up a lot since The Eternal Night.
New characters
Malefor, the Dark Master and Hunter of Avalar will make their first full appearance in this game. There has been no other information given if other characters from the series will be included.
