wow Character Voice Selection in Patch 10.1?

[Stan 4,677]

Global strings from the initial Patch 10.1 build hint at some sort of character voice selection in Embers of Neltharion,

New Global Strings in Patch 10.1

The following global strings are tied to character customization in Patch 10.1.

• CHAR_CUSTOMIZATION_TOOLTIP_PLAY_VOICE_SAMPLE - Play Sample Voice Line
• CHAR_CUSTOMIZATION_TOOLTIP_MUTE_SOUND - Mute Sound
• CHAR_CUSTOMIZATION_TOOLTIP_UNMUTE_SOUND - Unmute Sound

Players will most likely be able to preview and assign Male / Female voices to Body A / Body B types during Character Creation. This doesn't appear to be a full-fledged customization option with sliders and new voices. 

Hopefully, we'll know more with future Patch 10.1 builds. It would be cool if existing voices were not limited to races.

[TyZone 396]

Many RPGs have this feature baked in, it would be a nice touch considering the minimal amount of lines required.

If you have options, people get offended.
If you don't have options, people get offended.
If people are offended, people get offended.
If people aren't offended, people get offended.
It's all just people being people just like people have always been.

Ahh, the classic "if I don't care about it must not be important" argument.

[MrM 43]

Most of the time, the only game sounds I have enabled are boss mods and weakauras. But I can't think of a single downside of offering more options for people who want them.

What are you on about  ?! have you see the cool quest dialog  people are doing with voice Ai ?!

[Grumar 140]

whos this for? all the trans people who want their voice to sound incredibly unpassable? that's a micro percent of an already micro percentage of people. Yet this is the same company that claims they lack dev time/money to do a lot of the cool ideas the community puts forward.

Anyone who wants to mess around with it. Voice customization isn't exactly some revolutionary new feature in RPGs with a character creator...

remember no matter how common something is if it can be seen as something done for the lgbtq its 300% useless and waste of recources

mess around with how? did this show that they're adding different voices i'm confused cause it seems to me it's just being able to choose between male and female voices that already exist, correct me if I'm wrong. but that's hardly "messing around" with voice customization. should they add different voices or even a pitch shifter, etc I see what you mean but until then....

I'm not the one that's confused with their body, so no i am not fragile , and i don't hate anyone, but why does this whole political nonsense have to be added to every piece of media? Oh ye it's for the 0.1% that's confused about themselves.

no one is confuse about there body the fact that you need to use that to some how try to make it less important what is important for others is evidence enough that you are a very fragile broken soul.

why does it even matter to you? is blizz taking something away from you if they make such options? are you somehow more important then other people? are you the gold standart the wolrd should be looking for?

and even if its just 0.1% (wich its not but why should actual facts be a concern for poeple like you) why should we not make nice things for them to? do people that differ from the majority dont deserve recognition too?

Now say those exact same things to a person that has it's identity crisis. You seem more offended to me then i am( and i am not even offended to begin with), because i don't share the same opinion as other's which is funny to me. You are here pretending to know me acting like Mr' the White knight. I think it's a silly thing, first they remove the term "male/female" into body 1 and 2 which to me sounds more inappropriate, Who are they to say that women are body 2? Will they also become voice 2 now? Lol dude Blizzard is joining the circus and you are at the front seat, thinking you are Mr,right

you are the one throwing around woke a word well know to be used in a derogratory way by terfs and homophobes because blizz plans to give us an OPTION. so you use there words that either means you dont know the words you use wich would make you stupid or you know the words you use wich would make you not just stupid but a hatefull person that is cool witch people being send to the void for being who they want to be without hurting others

[Kjarthan 0]

instead they should not limit us to 1 race voicelines and give us other race voiceover options.

Oh i’m sorry , who made you the moderator to decide what one may say? I have my right to say the word “woke” or are you gonna turn it into the W-word now ? You got offended for me saying the word “woke” while you are here claiming I got offended 🤣🤣, that’s rich dude, you are having a total meltdown, and I find it quite amusing.

all im telling you is you are using a word that gets used by people that want to make actual laws that would make it illigal to be trans. people that talk about eradicate trans as a whole and that blame everything wrong on them. sounds familliar if not you should pick up a history book except ofcourse you are cool with that.

if you are not against them you are for them espacially if you use there words and strawmans

Here is another surprise for you, I am not against them but I am also not for them I remain neutral, but I have my own opinion about how I see the media and this change blizzard is doing deserve to be called “woke” then I use it , and if you don’t like it that’s your problem.

there is no neutral. the silent mass not saying anything at time like this cause it does not affect them directly is just as deadly for the oppressed as the people opressing. it was no joke look into a history book the people just letting it happen could have prevented it every time something like this happend. 

i mean i get it you dont want to have anything to do with it and stay neutral but you already play into there game you use there words and phrases you spread the hate they need to kepp giong even so you yourself probably dont want harm to anyone and are just anoyed from something you think is not important and you have no ties to

And you are making this all to much political based and that’s exactly what I want to keep out the games i’m playing, I’m looking for escapism when playing games, away from my own personal problems, but that doesn’t mean I want to be reminded by other people’s problems, and you truly think blizzard cares about it? They just do these ridiculous changes to look good on media papers, joining the herd pretending to stand for a good cause while all they do is make more profit of it, and really do you think by adding these changes they are gonna do something good? I doubt even a trans person cares about the voice lines being mixed like this. And don’t say it is to represent them, does every piece of toilet paper need to represent something? Just keep politics out of the media.

but media is where people get represented where else should you represend them? if you make a movie with a hetero cis couple the "norm" for most people gets represented so trans people and gay people go for the same places. since realese of wow people who live a there lifes in system with binary sexes where represented where is the problem if that gets changed

No dude the media isn’t there to represent anything, it’s their to add entertainment and in some ways teach us something, you think as a white straight male I feel represented by 90% of the media? Well I don’t, guess what the last movie I watched was a movie about a talking cat running away from his death only to realise he should cherish his life more and not take it for granted, that single movie aimed for children had so much more meaning to me and a stronger message then any other Hollywood garbage I’ve seen in the last few years, you can feel represented by something other then someone or something that looks the same like you.

totally true you can certanly feel represented by something that does not look like you like your example or a series about gay witches or lets say a game charakter you create to represent you. thats what rpgs do for people they can represent themselfs so the more optoins the better.

the thing i just dont get is what exactly is the problem. they add options no one loses anything you dont get forced to use these options. sure you could say changing mal/female to body 1 and 2 is forced cause you cant say i want it to see male and female but thats then on blizz for not doing it that way even so i personally think thats not the worst i can see that this might bother others. 

you say you dont want these politics in the game wich i can understand since games are a way to escape the world but do options in the char editor actually  hinder you in that?
