Slimeknight 67 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I never went into the Dragon Quest 11 forum for fear of spoilers. I planned to eventually go in when I finish the game. Today, I was browsing the forum names looking for things like Dragon Quest General and Dragon Quest Monsters when right to the right of the forum headers there was a discussion about the ending of Dragon Quest 11.

eal 2,646 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Did you click on it? The title just says “True Ending.” Unfortunately, there’s only so much one can reasonably try to keep a game spoiler-free without effecting their ability to discuss it themselves. Regardless, I’m sorry that happened to you. I remember trying to avoid spoilers when all the discussion leading up to the game’s Western release was ramping up.

Slimeknight 67 Posted November 14, 2018 Author Share Posted November 14, 2018 No. The site showed the member dialogue without clicking on a topic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Woodus 1,651 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 So you are wanting me to turn all the sidebar stuff off? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe you should just turn off the Posts thing? The one that shows the 5 most recent posts made on the Den. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Slimeknight 67 Posted November 15, 2018 Author Share Posted November 15, 2018 I’m sorry my first post was a bit harsh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sumez 87 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 (edited) Is it possible to default activity streams to "condensed" instead of "expanded"? I only use the former anyway, since the latter looks like a mess, and makes it hard to get an overview over what's going on. Btw the exact same thing was spoiled for me on this forum, before the game was even released in English In a thread that wasn't intended as a spoiler thread, too.

All the basic streams that are configured in the system are now set to condensed, if anyone created their own custom stream though I cannot change that. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sumez 87 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Cool. That'll definitely help prevent spoilers like this in the future Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dwaine 1,168 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 This is silly. DQ games have had their real endings after the credits since VIII. Since VI if you wanna get technical. So what if there's a second ending. To blame the site for ruining the experience is overly dramatic. To quote Miley Cyrus, "Ain't about how fast I get there. Ain't about what's waitin' on the other side. It's the climb." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sumez 87 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 (edited) @Dwaine The issue wasn't the title of the thread, but the fact that the forum automatically printed out a snippet from the first post in the thread. Edited November 16, 2018 by Sumez Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Another thing with that topic: it’s mainly us who have posted there just speculating what the post game ending means from what it presents. You’re not going to understand it unless you see it for yourself and have context, especially since post game really changes the narrative for the entire game. And another thing about this topic: if you saw the topic was labeled “True Ending discussion,” why did you read what the posts where then? Seeing the title of the topic should make anyone who wants to avoid spoilers go “Oh, I shouldn’t read that.” Edited November 16, 2018 by YangustheLegendaryBandit Quote Link to post Share on other sites

(I resolved to myself not to get involved with DQ11 until I finish my obese backlog of unplayed games). Never bothered me much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
