The Rising Event

Uh...didnt we learn Iceheart's real name was Ysayle in 2.4 or 2.5? I know it was before the expansion, just can't remember exactly when.

It's actually a spoiler...

I guess I should rephrase it since everything is taken so literally and seriously here.

"I dislike Dragonsong. I would prefer that they play Answers again at this year's event."

Especially since they're using iceheart and not her real name.

Iceheart is just her rebel name

There's certainly parts of it you should be careful of, and yes, it's because there are new players around. For example, I wouldn't mention what you find when you return from fighting Titan at level 34 without putting it in a spoiler hidden box. On the other hand I have no problem mentioning that you do fight Titan at level 34. Fighting him is expected. What you find on your return is not. The later is a plot twist. That's what makes the distinction of whether spoiler tags are needed, not how long the content has been around.

It's not really "a rather large spoiler" considering all of Heavensward centers around Ishgard.
And the fact that they've stated on these forums that they plan to add housing in Ishgard.

Kinda tells you already that they are going to be joining the Alliance.

It's going on 3 months since Heavensward came out, I think it's safe to talk about some points of the story,
especially something we kind of already knew was going to happen. >_>

I haven't gotten that far in the story. Imo that was a pretty big spoiler. Aymeric is a complicated character and a central character. Knowing his fate now takes the wind out of the sails of any suspense regarding his motives and where he eventually ends up when all is said and done.

The expansion has been out for two months, the game has been out for two years. Regardless of time you guys should respect new players, and those who simply have not had the opportunity to complete the MSQ by at the very least applying spoiler tags to conversation regarding the MSQ. It doesn't take that long.

I don't understand why you wouldn't want others to reach the same surprises and moments and feel the same way you did when you played it unspoiled. It's not that hard to just respect your fellow players' experience.

whoa, I used a spoiler tag. It took two seconds.

Because to expect people to use spoiler tags, or give a crap about spoilers, in the general discussion forum of a video game where people are going to *gasp* discuss the game, 3 months after it's launched, is stupid.

if you really were bent over finding spoilers, stay off the forums entirely, or level faster so you see it and don't have to complain.

But that's exactly where spoiler warnings are needed. Spoiler tags exist for forums discussing the topics the spoilers are about. People not playing the game couldn't care less about spoilers, but in a forum about the game, you need to warn people of them. In some cases, it might be obvious just by the topic, but this topic (before getting derailed into a discussion of spoilers) was about a seasonal event for level 15 ARR characters. There is absolutely no assumption from that that it would mean having completed the entire HW questline.

(I'm making a guess about the level 15 part, but it's an educated guess based on previous data. It was a level 15 event last year.)

You're right, it's my fault that I had a significant part of the story spoiled for me by another player in a thread for a upcoming in-game event that is completely unrelated to the main story quest.

Shame on me for pointing out their inconsideration. I should just shut my mouth and leave because that person is allowed to be as inconsiderate as they like! Who am I - the person who was negatively affected by their inconsideration - to point that out.

The gods forbid a person be criticized for not considering how their words might affect others.

READ:

Yes, I do expect people to use spoiler tags in threads that are not all ready tagged "SPOILERS" in the OP, when it comes to discussing main story elements. It isn't difficult, and you can still carry on your conversation without negatively affecting your fellow players' experience. We're a community, we should give a shit about how other people in our community feel because that is how healthy communities sustain themselves.

tl;dr don't be a dick and if you accidentally slip up and people call you on it then learn from it instead of telling people to shut up and sit down. Basic rules for being a decent human being.

This gave mean idea. Why not have Primal Minions?

Thank you I missed out on Thancred last year because I didn't even know it was available till it was gone

HAURCHEFANT MINION OR BUST.

Or Lahabrea.

If I can't have Haurchefant follow me around with an adorable, tiny shield I will take a Lahabrea that I can /hug and every time I squeeze it, it cackles.

The only thing I would ever buy from the cash shop is a tiny Lahabrea to follow me around.

I want one so, so much.

I think the problem is we expected the theme of Heavensward to be the one playing in the movie trailer now that was epic.

Dragonsong is good but to me it seams more like an ending theme that you play at the ending credits. I agree that Anwsers is a more powerful theme than Dragonsong.

Because for one, I do main story as soon as it comes out. I don't wait around or go do other stuff because I DON'T want things spoiled cause I love the story. So I avoid the forums and get the main story done so I can enjoy it without having someone say something to spoil it for me. If you're dilly-dallying around and haven't beaten the story then its not my (or anyone else's) fault that you came to the forums and expected it to stay 100% spoiler free.

You see how many people still don't know how to edit their posts to avoid the 1000 character limit?
You really expect all of them to also know how to do spoiler tags?

I think you expect too much from the forums...


On topic though: I'm excited for the Yugiri minion. Although I'm kinda sad she doesn't have her mask.
It made her look more badass imo, they should make her put it on if I /poke her >_> lol


"OMG SE Spoiler Tag! I'm not that far in the story, now I know what she looks like!! \(>_<)/"

I had to sorry, I re-read my "on-topic" and I was like omg smart-ass moment, Go! lol

On top of it, I almost exclusively use my phone for the forums.

Posts cannot be edited on mobile, nor do I have buttons for all of the tags. Manually setting spoiler tags doesn't work half the damn time.
