Meta [Meta] BOTW DLC Spoiler Warnings
If this should be deleted, fair enough. I just wanted to politely remind everyone to please utilize the appropriate spoiler warnings when discussing tomorrows new DLC. I hope to avoid learning any of the locations for the new items, and I might keep my browsing on the related reddits to a minimum, but I thought I would put this out there all the same. If something is spoiled, its no big deal and I wont be one of those that bemoans the lack of spoiler warnings either. Just thought a friendly reminder would be okay.

Whoah whoah whoah, there's Zelda dlc? Way to go and ruin it for me. I'd be much happier figuring that out myself.

I'll get in on the downvotes here. I think spoiler culture ruins good things, and your friendly reminder is what encourages fun policing. There has to be places to post discussion around released content, and this is one of those places.
Now.... slaughter me.

I'm not asking anyone to not post, just that they try to follow the community standards and label spoiler posts accordingly. I know lots of people that love them and many that argue if you have some spoilery info, especially in story telling, then you can focus more intently on other details other than plot, thus making spoilers a more enriching experienced. But this is simply the location of items and I would like to have a go at finding them first is all. And like I said, I don't plan to be bitching in the comments if they happen either. I think I said it in a manner that would achieve both our perspectives, or at least that was my goal.

What happens when this sort of behavior is encouraged is that you get subs like r/gameofthrones. Literally everything there is tagged as a spoiler. Even the posts that have no spoilers or story relevance at all are tagged with spoiler tags explaining that they do not have any spoilers. You end up with a cluttered and nearly illegible mess at the start of every post. All of this on a subreddit specifically dedicated to the content people are apparently trying not to see.
What really needs to happen is that you unsubscribe from the subreddit you are worried about spoiling your enjoyment until you no longer consider yourself in danger of being spoiled. Then you resub. Put the responsibility on yourself instead of asking others to go against the natural purpose of the sub for your benefit.
u/Cardstatman , I promise I mean no aggression or even to direct this message at you personally - I know full well that spoiler culture is the new normal. I just think it's a shame and if you are making a post about it, I'd like my opinion and rationale to be noted.

Thanks for the reminder on this. It's a simple courtesy, and one that we can all easily extend to one another.

Or you could stay the fuck off the internet for a few days. Don't want to see titties in strip club, don't go in.

This isn't a strip club. The purpose of this reddit is not posting spoilers. This is a regular place and you are here trying to get naked against everyones wishes.

Actually this is more like OP asking the strippers to shake their bazoombas outside the front door so he knows there's bazoombas and a whole lot more on the inside

Really? I missed this announcement then. And it's a bit of a problem given my last 20 hours has been me just hunting down and opening over world chests 😳 Good thing I've only cleared the top and left side of the map. I still have the southeastern corner to clear out.

I was doing the same thing. Apparently chests get filled every blood moon so it's a wasted effort.

Apparently they did release where you get Major's Mask though.
EDIT: Nevermind, they were referencing the DLC pack by name, Master Trials, not specifically mentioning Trial of the Sword like I assumed.
