TL;DR

Please don't spoil or tease any new enemies that will be included in the 2.0 expansion.

What ?

Avoiding spoilers is a particular aesthetic/perspective for many gamers. Support those players by letting them reveal/encounter new enemies during their own play experience after 2.0 launch.

FFF are a great resource for many, many players. Many of those players like getting the previews of upcoming features. In general I think this is good content, especially since in most cases one needs to read and engage in discussion to discover any newly revealed features.

That said, I think that even players that enjoy spoilers could still benefit from exploring some mysteries in a new game. Especially when that mystery comes with danger.

Why ?

I don't think that any tease of new enemies will be avoidable by those players actively avoiding spoilers. New enemies will be a much bigger, more active discussion topic than almost any other preview.

Sorry, but I'm not with you on that one : I wanna know .

I want new enemy info before release, but like, just before release. All I'd want before then is just a confirmation of "yep there will be new enemies too."

I would also like to have information about new opponents in an FFF in advance.

I also believe that while there is obviously deliberately no reaction on the forum to the feedback, that the feedback is nevertheless accounted and acted upon.
It would be a shame, having such an important aspect of the game as enemies not receive at least some feedback.

Gotta disagree.

If you don't want spoilers, its on you to not open the FFF or forums until release.

I can't wait for new enemy types to be teased and I'm seriously hoping that combat got as much improvement in 2.0 than the rest of the game.

Same feeling.

The only issue here that I do acknowledge is the fact that you can't completely hide the thumbnail and titles of the articles completely within Steam (which sounds like an issue to take up with Steam, not Wube). But at the end of the day, I'd rather have some minor spoilers than going in blind. I don't buy blind, even from known, trusted sources.

Very good point, though I feel like I know enough about the expansion to be willing to buy and any issues I have with new enemies I'm confident I can just turn off via settings or mods

That being said, as someone who tends not to play with much in the way of enemies, I want to know more. I'd be completely down for large spoiler warnings, but I want to know what unique turn on biter gameplay they've added.
