Two In-Game Paintings Desexualized in Patch 9.1.5

Recommended Posts

In their continued effort to remove inappropriate references from the game, Blizzard desexualized two paintings in this week's Patch 9.1.5 Build 40196.

The first in-game painting of a woman was completely replaced with a fruit painting. We compare both paintings below.

Old 9.1.0 Painting

New 9.1.5 Painting

The second painting is an update that adds more armor and fidelity.

Blizzard continues to remove inappropriate references from the game. In Patch 9.1.5 alone, they renamed multiple achievements, Mac'Aree to Eredath, and more.

I mean kinda makes sense when you're dealing with *filtered* abuse issues.

Do you want people to react sexually to what you're doing and saying or not?

That's what should determine what you do and say.

yeah cause something that's more tame than what you would see at a beach is wwwwaaaayyy worse than going around physically abusing and killing untold numbers of sentient beings.  It's nothing more than a low attempt at pandering so they can say they did "something" instead of fixing the actual issues.

Who cares, we still have Maldraxxus with naked hot chicks like hulking abominations and monstrosities with female voices but zero feminine features - sexual objectification 101, I'm surprised it still stays as it is.

This is getting really head-scratching for me. Like, I noticed last night Dreadscar Rift has a cushioned area with loads of succubi stood around it. How is that not the same as the top painting? How is the succubus model not the same as the top painting? Is the brothel in Boralus not equally as discomforting? Just off the top of my head.

They're never going to touch things like the succubus model, let alone player armour. That'd bring backlash. They're just going to go for easy things -- and I can see both good and poor justifications for that.

But I don't understand how this line is drawn. It's gonna be really shaky. And the more they change, the wonkier the line becomes because of what remains.

Unless they're just throwing random stuff at their interns as practice.

Yes,they've solved it,finally they understood ! Change in-game artwork to truly reflect upon your past mistakes,and redeem yourselves in the eyes of those who were harassed.By the gods ,why didn't they think of this sooner ?!

The battle continues ,as our brave warriors continue to struggle against injustice ! What will happen you ask ? Find out next time on Dragon Ba....I mean on Blizzard Ball Y !

Ok,now I am very well aware how sarcasm and mockery are dripping from my upper text , to me this is like putting a band aid on your arm when you clearly cut your leg,useless and pointless. Ok I get it,remove any trace of people who are directly involved,but this is a bit excessive,they are looking for problems that aren't there, and don't mean to be an *filtered* about it , but repixiling and reworking some artwork in-game won't fix any issues they have in the workplace just to make it seem like they're the "good guys" . Bash away if you don't agree,just my two cents .

Deeply retarded..

Another censoring because of this new time of bunch of stupid people crying for everything about everything on anybody.

 

This is pure censoring and this era start to came close to world's dictatorship.

 

Let the *filtered* freedom of expression in PEACE for *filtered* sake and just get the f*ck out all of these toxic nazis who wants to steal our freedom.

These portraits were such low quality, they were barely noticeable. No point in changing them, especially when they don't show more than a skimpy transmog would allow.

Sexuality is fine - sexual abuse is not.

Censoring one does not erase the other.

Asking for attention to your sexuality with your dress and then getting it and being appalled doesn't make sense to me.

Equating dressing in a manner you enjoy with consent to abuse doesn't make sense to me.

I don't care if you're dressed in leather bondage gear, including a ball gag and hood, that doesn't mean I've got the go ahead to abuse you, verbally or otherwise.

No it doesn't mean someone has the go ahead to do those things.

It does mean that you personally have significantly invited them to travel that road in their mind. Which ultimately leads to some people turning thoughts into reality.

Acting on thoughts is a personal responsibility, full stop.

      Find out how to obtain the new Spark of Awakening in Season 4.
      Spark of Awakening is used to set the item level of crafted gear to Item Level 502 in Season 4, but how can you obtain one on live servers?
      Abandon the "Aiding the Accord" quest if it's in your Quest Log.
      Pick up the weekly quest from Therazal in central Valdrakken. As you can see, there are now three possible quests for you to receive that will change every week.

      The weekly quest options (and objectives) will always be the following:

      We'd like to introduce you to a game-changing nameplate addon for Season 4 that's essential for excelling in Mythic+ dungeons.
      Tracking every mob and their abilities in Mythic+ can be overwhelming, but this addon excels by replacing standard mob nameplates and cast bars to enhance your gameplay.
      Once installed, mobs with critical interrupts will display a thick orange cast bar, while less crucial ones will show a thinner yellow bar.

      Mobs with less crucial interrupts will have a thinner yellow cast bar.

      Additionally, any mobs that inflict heavy frontal cone damage are marked with an arrow and feature orange cast bars. A voice alert will also prompt you to move by announcing "front."

      The addon further assists by indicating non-interruptible spells that require crowd control with a purple cast bar and a vocal "cc" alert.

      For tanks, if you're not holding aggro, the nameplates of the mobs will turn red, quickly showing you which ones to target.

      There's also a handy visual cue on the cast bar, surrounded by a green border, signaling when you can interrupt an ability and your interrupt skill is off cooldown.

      Ready to try it out?
      You can download Quazii Plater here.
      For setup assistance, watch Quazii's comprehensive video guide.
      Quazii has also created a Mythic+ cheatsheet that details all critical abilities for Season 4 dungeons, available in a text format.
      If you appreciate Quazii's contributions, consider supporting him on Patreon.

      Players are currently unable to catalyze gear from the Black Temple Timewalking cache into class set piece.
      It's unclear whether this limitation is a bug or an intended feature, but the gear obtained from completing this week's Black Temple Timewalking quest cannot be converted into a set piece using the Revival Catalyst, as reported on Reddit.
      I personally checked this at Antuka and can confirm that gear from the weekly quest cache cannot be catalyzed. I received the Grips of Damnation from the Essence boss yesterday, and found that the item was ineligible for conversion at the Catalyst.

      Here's how you can upgrade your legendary weapons in Dragonflight Season 4 next week!
      This one is for Fyr'alath and Nasz'uro owners. You must first farm 2 Antique Bronze Bullions. However, you can only acquire 1 Antique Bronze Bullion per week from Awakened Raid bosses. The bullion will drop in Raid Finder difficulty too.
      Next week, the cap will be raised to 2 and a catch-up method will be implemented, so players who didn't have the chance to get their first bullion can get it from the weekly quest in Valdrakken.
      Anyway, the soonest you can upgrade your legendary to the base item level of 502 is during the week of April 30th (so next week).
      Once you have 2 Antique Bronze Bullions, head to the Parting Glass in Valdrakken.

      Evokers need to buy Scale of Awakening from Iszinormi for 2 Antique Bronze Bullions. Death Knights, Paladins, and Warriors need to buy Scale of Awakening from Iszinormi for  2 Antique Bronze Bullions. Once purchased, use the consumable to upgrade your legendary to item level 502, the base item level for Season 4.
      After that, you can further upgrade your legendary using Flightstones and crests. Check out our gear upgrading guide for more info!
