Now the dust has finally settled was Garrosh calling Sylvanus a "bitch" really that out of place?
>>
>evil bloodlusting orcs
>but they will never ever EVER call a woman a bitch
>>
My honest opinion about this is that if you believe video games are art, then retroactively changing things like this is fundamentally anti-art. Especially if it's years later and those making the changes aren't the original creators.

Imagine if the Louvre announced they had updated a bunch of paintings to censor the female nudity to "protect future generations"

No it wasn't it was perfectly in with garrosh's character.
Problem is the people who run wow now no longer wish the game to have conflict or morally grey characters.
it's sad to see but ultimately was just a waste of time so someone useless could feel useful.
>>
they're right in that it deviated from the typical tone of the game, but that's what made it memorable and it fit garrosh's character
it's also rated 13+ so you shouldn't be playing it with your child
>>
>>744658390
Everyone knows the real reason it was removed was because Syvanas was Danusers waifu and he was pissed someone called his bitch that. (Garrosh was right, Sylvanas is a total bitch.)
>>
>>744658917
To be fair, I don't believe video games are art. Or at least no all video games. Not world of War craft.

But it is kinda funny that the kinds of people who DO think all video games are art are all lefty types that say all art must be protected but any uncomfortable themes in media must be changed in the same breath.
>>
>>744658390
it was a call back to sylvanas' line in wc3 towards arthas
it did stick out but that was the point
still, who gives a fuck anyway, either for or against it, both characters have been decimated in a million different ways at this point
>>
>>744658390
fucking danuser is such a mongoloid retard.

everyone knows it wasn't malicious. it doesn't fucking matter. the point is it makes the game worse, whether they did it maliciously or because they wanted to cater to 5 year olds instead of their actual demographic (at the time) which was adult men.

you are just as reprehensible for doing something stupid and destructive if it's out of a misguided sense of empathy as you are for doing it maliciously. maybe even moreso, because at least the latter implies competence.

>Art is the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, to produce works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power.

If there's a game that deserve to be called art, WoW (original one) is definitely it, millions of people still will hear the music of the zone as soon as they see a picture of it and will feel good simply looking at them.

both are active but active is relative; marathon is "active." xiv has dropped substantially since its peak and wow has CRATERED since its peak. it's because the developers make stupid changes and fanboys defend them for doing so. fanboys always ruin shit by insulating developers from what their players actually think.

Look man, I'm not gonna debate you on this. But people don't play WoW for the beauty or emotional impact. They play to be a orc warrior or elf mage and watch numbers go up. It's a dopamine delivery system. It's as artistically deep as watching a sitcom on television. There's nothing wrong with that, but don't delude yourself.

>Videogames aren't art, they are toys.
They said the opposite 12 years ago. They were pushing for video games to be art so that they have "social responsibility". If video games aren't art, they can be censored, if video games are art, they can also be censored, that's why you spit in their well meaning smiling psychopath faces when they enter the room and tell them to get the fuck out.

nta but vanilla wow did have its own charm in terms of atmosphere and scale. people don't play wow for that today but from 2003-2007 when it wasn't a solved game, people generally sucked at it, and there were still things to find, there was some beauty in it

It's still so fucking unbelievably funny that all that censorship nonsense was a direct result of the lawsuits and allegations flying around at the time, and even then directly when they were trying to prove they were totally heckin' good boys, some motherfucker was writing a quest about going back in time to make absolutely sure Alexstrasza got gang-raped for years because it was essential to the timeline, and that quest came hilariously close to going live

This was back during WoW’s multi-expansion “Sylvanas is a perfect princess who can literally do no wrong” plot arc because of that waifufag Danuser. He must have seethed about that line for years and fantasized about his self insert Nathanos beating Garrosh up.

>stromic superiority
WoW is an IP built on fucking war aka nationalism and patriotism and tribal affiliation, that's why they made the big bucks, it was brutal, it was violent, it was bloody, it was warcraft. They literally aped Warhammer. That's what the RTS was.

I'm surprised they didn't rename him to "Danath Trollfucker" and kept the "Trollbane" name. You can see how they're desperately trying to trannify this game which was made for a male audience into something safe for women and children, but the frame and story of the game are still male, focused around war, violence and killing, with names like "Trollbane", so it's like trying to castrate a grown man and putting a pink sundress on him because you suddenly got a change of mind about the protagonist in a move and you needed a woman. What a fucking retarded game dev they've become. It's true what they say, you either die a hero or you troon out.

new expansion announcements always result in a bump. it's still way below where they peaked in shb. the core problems (jobs being dumbed down every expansion and the story increasingly becoming a mess after it finished in 6.0) are still unsolved. people are interested because maybe dawntrail's atrocious story was a fluke and they're making significant changes to how abilities work, but if they're going to actually retain or grow those numbers it needs to actually be good. it's possible they could unfuck it but i don't see any sign they're going in the right direction.

The more you look at the story of Sylvanas, the funnier it gets. She's effectively a Scooby Doo villain compared to everyone else. Garrosh is the only other Horde leader that calls her a bitch for being an evil piece of shit and he's demonized for it by the larger fanbase. Make it make sense.

Forsaken have always been confusingly written, they could never really nail down whether they were abominable and inhumane or just downtrodden outcasts, so instead you get bipolar war criminals you are meant to empathize with.

That's the crazy thing. By every public statement about playet numbers, retail has significantly more players than classic, but you never hear anything from them.

That's the only explanation I can come up with is that it must be forever mono gamers eith no crossover.

Your info is a bit out of date, they've generally had a positive turnaround since the expansion launch.

>it's still way below where they peaked in shb
tbf that applies to every online game except wow, because shadowlands was king shit and both coincided with peak lockdowns

>jobs being dumbed down every expansion
They're ditching the gay 2-minute meta everyone was complaining about, and adding a new combat system on top of that but keeping the old one in case you liked it
>story increasingly becoming a mess after it finished in 6.0
Fixed that last year by ditching the character everyone hated and focusing on the one everyone liked along with more focus on the player character. 7.2 was on par for quality and 7.3 and beyond have been well received.

I'm cautiously optimistic to see if Classic+ will be at least as good as Turtle WoW, but until then I'm just gonna chill with FF and PoE.

You might disagree with it. But we have a tool for that. It's called a language filter, which someone these idiots don't realise one exists in the game and that it could apply to the storyline too.

NTA, but ditching it for something that looks more simplified. Maybe it'll be more flexible and open up fight design a lot.

Based on what I've seen, and all of the underlying issues with how things have been since SB that the goal is for harder or at least more varied fights with the new system.
Plus I disagree with it being simplified, specifically dragoon having left-right positional is already more than the game has asked of the average player in years.
The white mage example, despite liking the focus of healing to increase throughput, does give credit to your point.

I hope not. I raid in both retail WoW and XIV and Mythic prog already makes me want to kms every tier. They absolutely need to make the fights more varied though. Give us adds, cleave, long periods of movement, small DPS checks within a fight etc, and ignore the whining when people complain about certain fights. People were already bitching about Bard having a cast bar on a skill when the point is obviously that you plan for it when you won't need to move, perhaps that can be safely ignored since ranged phys players are subhuman.

The problem with the suicide is that if all messages were already deleted from everyone's phones, they're effectively impossible to bring back up, or at least that's how encrypted messaging apps work, the suicide was like two years prior if I remember correctly, so it has a very big chance of being real just no one has any means of proving it.
Personally, knowing how almost all leftists are what they swear to fight against, I can't but believe everything was true, just too many years after the fact to have sensible proof of wrongdoing, and like, if the breast milk shit happened, the milk is probably stored in a cameraless part of the building so women aren't recorded with their tits out, so unless someone saw who was stealing it, it may as well have been another woman getting milk for her baby.

I think you're safe, they seem to want to keep ultimates at DSR level after the blowback from TOP and the new difficulty being sub EX tier shows that they seem to understand that harder doesn't always mean better.

1) He used the undead because, as far as Garrosh knew, the undead were the only resources the Horde had that were immune to the curse;
2) They did, in fact, briefly secure Gilneas;
3) Any failures would be on the heads of Forsaken leadership commanding the campaign, not Garrosh.

"Think of the kids" has been used before when Metzen decided Sylvanas needed armor to cover her stomach. The truth and reality is the execs and investors are trying to get rid of every bit of Warcraft. On top of that, old and new leadership (Metzen) want all the harshness of Warcraft gone so they can try to get more players into their money printer. When the World Soul Saga wraps up, the reboot expansion after will be just that, a reboot. A fresh start for them to make something Fortnite adjacent where none of the old stories matter or carry any weight, and everything is some picture perfect bullshit where we're all just using the power of friendship to tackle whatever hardships come up.

All of this will coincide with Microslop's plans to basically turbo fund Bethesda for Fallout/Elder Scrolls, Activision for CoD, and Blizzard for WoW. They're gonna pump out TV shows and movies and pray to god people will go into these new experiences completely devoid of anything interesting so the normie nigger cattle can "enjoy" it.

CEO's are sociopaths who will wring every last penny possible out of any good will and if not then they'll try to hostage you and wring out every penny from you that way. They will burn down the entire company if it means a higher return on the current quarter of earnings.
Most game devs are women and women are consensus creatures that are subject to their feelings and hate men. The rest of the game devs are men that are so beta that even they can walk near the elephants foot radiating feminist energy.
The only solution is that the moment that you see the signs you immediately and permanently give up and go play something else and blacklist the company while you're at it.
That's it, that's all you have to do. That's all you can do.
You CANNOT recover the old IPs once infected, because the CEO's, women and betas are there to stay. They will not fire themselves no matter how politely you ask them.
You can only support the new companies and IPs that don't have these problems because they might know to excise the cancer before it metastasizes.

Funny because ironically, the two results are equally as embarrassing. I've read tons of both. The girl-inventing-agriculture stories are ALWAYS her parroting some concept where the author clearly does not understand the nuances. "Why don't you just do... this incredibly basic thing?!" And then someone else does the actual work. Completely empty narrative. Male authors do the same thing but more often show the MC inventing some way to tie the concept to the fantasy economy.

It is weird that the word "bitch" is too much but the fact that sylvanas murdered a bunch of people and was legitimately funding genocide research for every living race (even her own "allies") is not. I mean literally she is genocidal. She was down to exterminate every other race and push her race as the superior ones who would take over the earth. She is basically a Nazi and I actually mean that sincerely in that she is an authoritarian dictator (queen) who wants to kill a lot of people explicitly for power.

The guy who did the Evolved mode did the HW Ast and Nin and he did the pvp so I have faith he'll not fuck up kind of since he also did the Kefka Ultimate and that fight was very mid.

That decision was more based on the current age of his kid rather than just his generation as a whole, he's going to be used to hearing that by high school. awful reason.

I genuinely hope the same retards who fell for Ashes of Creation fall for this too.
I don't think they'll learn so may as well see them hope and cope until the devs run off with the cash

Yes, it sounds weirdly modern

Way, way fucking more than that. Almost every single big event in WoW can be traced back to "corruption" in some fashion.

Not really.

In meta sense that swearing in general is relatively rare in World of Warcraft?
Kinda.

It was played as "shoch value" for the precisely for player reactions.

Video games are not art. There is no artistic expression in the medium at all. The only things that can be art are oil paintings, music, statues, books, and movies.

I don't see the problem here. Also its well known that the devs had 0 fucking communication with each other druing the making of WOTLK and as a result a lot of the story got jumbled, like this famous retconned bit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Wc-jsKgxJs

When was the last time FF14 had a sidequest or FATE that was about rape/beastiality/anything actually edgy? Last I remember was the public nudity in stormblood.

I hate censorship and all but Garrosh calling her a bitch is weird. She’s an evil zombie elf, surely that is more objectionable to Garrosh than her being a woman.

There are an endless number of actual mistakes and lore fuck ups they could fix instead of this. That is of course assuming anyone working at Lizzard cares.

Sometimes the thing getting censored was just retarded in the first place. Sure Blizzard should have been allowed to have Garrosh call Thrall a nigger if they wanted to, but it would have been very weird.

>>744708145
Just use some variation of the words green and fel, because Garrosh isn't a fel-orc like Thrall is.

Runescape canceled pride month and didn’t back down when the trannies got mad, that’s the biggest pushback to the craziness I’ve seen

the most shocking part of this is that someone read the quest text. mmo brained idiots usually skip those so only people who read them should be smart enough to not get offended.
