Multiple NPCs Renamed / Added on the 9.1.5 PTR

Recommended Posts

UPGUo8c.jpg

Blizzard has renamed multiple NPCs in this week's 9.1.5 build on the PTR and added new NPCs as well.

UPDATE: The WoW team posted a blog post about building an inclusive and welcoming game world that you can read here.

The Fishing Supplies vendor in Krasarang Wilds was renamed from Master Baiter to Jiang Ziya.

The Den of Mortals area in Black Temple now has both male and female Temple Acolytes (previously called Temple Concubines).

Players also spotted some changes to Karazhan NPCs. Some hosts from Karazhan have horns or Demon Hunter skin tones and eyes.

Wowhead also reports that multiple female-only ghosts in Karazhan have been updated to include male versions with new or gender-neutral names.

Unfbelievable.. Masses who are part of 'Spineless Snowflakey leeches' community are totally winning & taking away Immersion for some players. This is only because Blizzard bows to them & makes many mind numbing changes.

Haven't seen any actual outrage about this. Mainstream also doesn't seem to care, since whole lawsuit thing isn't major news anymore. Most likely it's just an order from higher ups to be extra conscious about anything. Although, it's kind of funny, because it makes them look like they are taking this very right wing/puritan stance, all these "this is a Christian server" memes seem fitting.

Soon they will rename Blackhand because some snowflakes are traumatized about the fact that the 'black' word is in a video game. And this is how the modern Blizzard is ruining their own legacy and is turning WoW into a random MMORPG, to be more like Sims.

Oh, and I will be silenced if I'm using the "Master Baiter" words, or I will be suspended if I'm naming my pet "Baiter"? We'll see.

Hopefully no more law suits will be filed against Blizzard, because in the end WoW gets it. They are turning the game into a virtue signaling playground in response to their real life issues. Fu'cking idiots.

Cracks me up to see commenters offended by Blizzard's actions spewing their outrage. That they are virtue signalling to each other and being so-called snowflakes themselves seems to elude them.

In this thread: all the traumatized snowflakes who need a safe space because Blizzard changed things to not meet their standards.

Seriously, guys, ya'll are the snowflakes.

If Blizz really wants to change names because they might hurt someone's feeling or offend them.  They should start with renaming the company and the game because the actual people who were harassed and assaulted by people working for Blizzard while working on World of Warcraft are probably reminded about it and hurt more by seeing the names Blizzard and World of Warcraft than anyone else is by any NPC name in the game.  Just goes to show that all of this is nothing more than low level pandering so they can slap themselves on the back and congratulate themselves on what a good job they did in an attempt to hide the actual problems they had and probably still have behind the scenes, especially in regards to pay and working conditions for both sexes apparently.  Cause the truth is none of these names would have been changed if they hadn't been sued.  It also reinforces the "oh anything fake *filtered* related is bad, but fake violence and torture is perfectly fine" meme.  I mean this is a game that has you killing and committing violent acts against stuff at virtually every point in the game, but we are suppose to believe a NPC named "Master Baiter" is more damaging???   I mean the entire game is centered around splitting the playerbase into 2 separate factions, having players pick one side and encourages them not to communicate with the other side and pushes you to be loyal to one side and hate the other and to kill them at every opportunity through pvp.  But nooo the name "Consort" is the real issue.  Yet the npc whose name literally means "slave" is perfectly fine apparently.  And let's not ignore how Trolls sound and talk, which some people have been complaining about (right so) as being horribly stereotypical and racist since the game came out.  But hey not *filtered* related so it's perfectly fine.  Let's not forget the current storyline where apparently burning down an entire civilizations home killing countless people is acceptable cause, it wasn't her fault, she wasn't responsible for her actions which is the equivalent of saying "I was drunk so it wasn't actually my fault"  I mean hey, maybe Alex Afrasiabi should use the Sylvanas excuse for his behavior.

I swear the amount of CONSUMERS and BRANDERS (and I mean in the WORST possible way) defending censorship in the name of protecting the honor of company is mind numbing.

Most people there don't like these changes. Haven't seen any outrage demanding these, often harmless jokes, being removed.

      If you plan on buying the physical War Within Collector's Edition and live in Europe, you're going to have a bad time!
      Blizzard has ceased distributing WoW Collector's Editions through retailers with the release of Dragonflight, making the Blizzard Store the only place to buy them. However, the shipping costs could be a dealbreaker for many collectors eager to acquire the latest edition for the upcoming expansion.
      Reddit user katamai from Serbia posted a screenshot of their order, revealing that the shipping fees exceed the cost of the box itself—280 Euros for shipping compared to 200 Euros for the box, totaling 480 Euros.

      Additionally, Emi, a follower on our Facebook page, reported a shipping cost of 99 Euros to Romania, nearly ten times what it costs to ship to the UK.

      A practical workaround might be to order the Collector's Edition to a UK address and then use a shipping service to forward it to your address in Europe, potentially saving a considerable amount of money.
      How much does it cost to ship the box to your country?

      Dragonflight Season 4 is upon us and here's a handy visual gearing guide by Reddit user gandalin1306 to help you get started!
      If you're curious about the upgrade tracks for season 4 and the crests required for upgrades, look no further. Here’s a detailed visual guide created by Reddit user gandalin1306.
      Update: gandalin1306 updated the gearing guide, adding Whelpling Crest drops to Heroic dungeons. The image below has been updated.

      We've already talked about and taken a first look at the Delve-specific mount coming in the War Within, but now it's time to check out all of its customization options! 
      LeystTV has delved into the mount and shown off all the options, from the different colors to nose, wing, thruster, and top customizations, with glider, blimp, helicopter looks and more! There's even different versions of Horde and Alliance decals to choose from! 

      And these may not even be all the options present at launch, not to mention new ones Blizzard might add with later patches, making this one of the cooler mounts in the game.

      We have a Crest switch fix and weekly maximum increase, as well as a quest fix in retail, the big class tuning pass for Season of Discovery, and more in today's hotfixes.
      April 23 (Source)
      Items
      Season 3 (Dreaming) crests are now correctly removed from players' currency tabs. Players have received a small amount of gold for their unused Dreaming Crests. Players can now earn up to 120 crests of each type per week in Dragonflight Season 4 (was a maximum of 90 per week in Season 3). This will allow for up to 8 upgrades per week, per crest type (was 6 in Season 3). Developers' notes: For players who don't reach their maximum crest earnings in a given week, we've implemented the increasing-seasonal-cap system from previous seasons. Please note that this increase is likely applicable to Season 4 only. We expect the weekly maximum to return to 90 for The War Within Season One. Quests
      Resolved an issue where abandoning the quest "Something Worth Celebrating" could make it unavailable. Cataclysm Classic
      The dates for Children’s Week have been adjusted so that the holiday begins and ends three days later than previously scheduled. Season of Discovery
      Players who have completed the quest "Warranty Claim" but have misplaced their Pristine G-7 C.O.R.E. Processor before handing in the quest "Salvaging the Salvagematic" may now speak with the Lost and Found vendor Rix Xizzix in Booty Bay to recover the misplaced quest item. Fixed a Sunken Temple issue where the Atal'ai Defenders encounter would not reset properly. Druid The Natural Weapons talents now increases all damage done by druids in Season of Discovery, instead of just physical damage. The Gale Winds rune now reduces the mana cost of Hurricane by 60%. Swiftmend no longer consumes a Rejuvenation or Regrowth effect on the target when used. Developers’ notes: Please note that it does still require Rejuvenation or Regrowth to be on the target to be used. Hunter Rapid Killing now reduces the cooldown of Rapid Fire by 80% (was a reduction of 2 minutes). Chimera Shot weapon damage percent increased to 135% (was 120%). Explosive Shot base damage before attack power increased by 50%. Sniper Training has an additional new effect: while Sniper Training is at 5 stacks, Aimed Shot is instant. Serpent Spread now causes Multi-shot to apply Serpent Sting to its targets for 12 seconds (was 6 seconds). Steady Shot now deals 100% weapon damage (was 75%). Developers’ notes: There are more adjustments coming for Hunters. In general, we intend to improve the ranged playstyle and diminish the melee playstyle so that the two become more equivalent. Paladin Seal of Righteousness damage can now be critical hits. Sacred Shield’s duration is extended to 60 seconds (was 30 seconds). Crusader Strike has now gained an additional effect: Crusader strike now refreshes all judgement effects active on the target to a 30 second remaining duration. Seal of Martyrdom can now “twist” with other seals, including Seal of Command. Developers’ notes: Seal twisting was an interesting emergent effect that became popular during the original Burning Crusade, that utilized the slower server messaging system used in early versions of WoW to slightly extend the duration of the paladin’s active seal for a short time whenever a second seal was cast. This effectively allowed paladins to momentarily gain the benefit of two seals at once if they timed the application of a new seal to line up perfectly just before their weapon swing. We recreated this playstyle in Burning Crusade Classic and since then it’s been a popular request in other versions of original WoW, including Season of Discovery. As the game matures and we continue to listen to player feedback however, we recognize that for some, this is part of the charm and uniqueness of playing a paladin during those early eras of WoW’s history. We consider this change to be experimental and we will watch the performance and behavior of Retribution closely after this change. Priest Shadowform now increases all shadow damage done by 25% (was 15%). Rogue Saber Slash bleed now stacks up to 5 times. Saber Slash bleed now also increases the impact damage done by Sinister Strike and Saber Slash by 15% per stack for the rogue who applied the bleed. Saber Slash bleed now deals 3% of the rogue’s Attack Power in damage per tick (was 5%). Shaman Mental Dexterity now only triggers from dealing damage with Stormstrike and Lava Lash, and it now lasts 30 seconds (was 10 seconds). Burn now increases Flame Shock Damage by 100% and flame shock DoT duration by 6 seconds, and causes Flame Shock to strike up to 5 targets (was 3 targets). Developers’ notes: We’ve received a lot of feedback about the overall usability of mental dexterity, particularly for Elemental Shamans. This ability was not intended to be used by elemental, so the adjustments we’ve made are to help ensure its usage is a bit more enhancement-centric. To compensate, we’ve increased the output and usability of the Burn rune, with a slight quality-of-life improvement in the form of a Flame Shock duration increase which allows two Lava Burst casts to be used within a single Flame Shock duration.
