Lonewolf Kai.3682 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Wow, thank you gw2 wiki for spoiling the previous episode of which I haven’t played yet thanks to being busy irl all the time. Why would you do this!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevenDEADLY.5281 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 So if I understand correctly, you willingly went to a gw2 wiki, a place with detailed information regarding the game and its story, found information on the story in a wiki that's designed to have... information, and you decided to come complain to Arena net for a wiki that they have no control over? THE AUDACITY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danikat.8537 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Where is this spoiler? If it's on a page related to the new episode then it probably should be changed, or at least tagged to warn that it has a spoiler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First sentence is the biggest and I’ve been avoiding talk or forum info about the last episode. I don’t recall there being bad spoilers like that on update notes.I more or less made this thread as a warning to others who might be in the same boat as me but haven’t ventured to the wiki yet.

Lonewolf Kai.3682 Posted May 14, 2019 Author Share Posted May 14, 2019 Lol, just realized the same spoilers are on this very forum. Bad Anet, bad!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArenaNet Staff Stephane Lo Presti.7258 Posted May 14, 2019 ArenaNet Staff Share Posted May 14, 2019 We're sorry that you ended up seeing spoilers for the previous episode. Note that the content of the wiki is created by the community, but beyond that it's now been several months since the last episode released and we tend to keep things spoiler-free for a week or two (with the exception of our Guild Chat livestream that has a heavy Spoiler Warning at the start).

I can’t be too upset since as it’s my own problem that I’m still quite a bit behind, but I didn’t expect to have it spelled out for me there! And I know it’s not Arenanet’s fault what is in the Wiki but hopefully posting this thread here will prevent others from making our same mistake.

sevenDEADLY.5281 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Being upset at Arena net, or really anyone else for that matter, is incredibly entitled. There is only one person and one person alone to blame that you didn't play the previous episode in the months you had to play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Can't blame the Wiki for copy/paste of the official patch notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexxxDelta.1806 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 I know right. Someone spoiled me the ending of 6th Sense the other day and it was frustrating as I was finally planning to watch it after 20 years. The audacity of some people who can't seem to understand the world needs to function at my own pace is really annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VDAC.2137 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 I’m not upset at anyone, just alerting others not to read the Wiki (or even the patch notes, evidently) if they’re behind on the story. What’s wrong with that? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

all cheats.3186 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Lol after like 3 months its no longer spoiling it's all on you. If people cared so much they would have finished it by then, no idea why anet even apologised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greener.6204 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 I have attempted to temporarily rectify the issue. People who have not yet played through the previous chapter (like myself), deserve the chance to skim over the intro paragraph while looking for information that they are interested in.

I can see where you might’ve thought I was been I was angry, but that’s the net for you. Tone of voice is lost. The intention of the thread was to warn people of the notes and to let Anet know the notes were spoilerific.@all cheats.3186 said:Lol after like 3 months its no longer spoiling it's all on you.

That’s like a book store selling a book but telling you what happens in it before you buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspirine.6852 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 I haven't played the previous living story either, so I expected this one to be major spoiler for me. Well perhaps I can do it now :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know what everyone else is so upset about! :confused: Some people are new to the game, come back after a long hiatus, etc., and try to avoid spoiling the story for themselves. Of course we don’t expect everyone else to never say anything about it, but I’ve avoided reading about LWS4 as I’ve been working to get caught up. I did not expect the patch notes to contain story information; if they have before it was something I missed or don’t recall. It would be nice if they hadn’t but the purpose of this thread is primarily to let others know so they can avoid reading them if they wish.

It's like a book store selling a book that mentions on its cover description events that happened in the previous book. Which, btw, they do.

Visiting the wiki after a patch is habitual for many.On the wiki, players can take steps to help out other players, as one did <Gah!! Link broke template, sorry to those who clicked on it>.

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 If that's the case, make sure to avoid reading the email newsletter sent by ArenaNet, as well. Though, I doubt that many come to the forums to find out if they should avoid reading official ArenaNet emails.Oh, and avoid the 'Releases' page, as well.
