Stop, Wow! The changes make the game worse

The recent changes Antworld of Warcraft make the game worse. That finds at least Lore Demon Corthyn and explains what s so bad.

World of Warcraft attacks hard - at least as far as the changes in the game world and the presentation of different women are concerned. Also a few icons are changed and renamed semi-available items. But there are more and more criticism against the changes.

Where most of them agreed that excited developers should not be immortalized in the game, many - men like women speak against the latest changes. It seems as a ban World of Warcraft any kind of sexuality.

Who knows me and my contributions a little, already knows that I am particularly positive changes in the game. I found, for example, the implementation of dark skin tones in people and elves are great. I found it well that Blizzard has gradually brought examples of characters for characters that lead a non-hetero relationship and also the implementation of a transgender character like Pelagos I found great.

These were all controversial innovations that I liked much. They did not make the playing world smaller, but more variety and were basically an enrichment.

But with the latest changes in patch 9.1.5, I can only shake his head.

Okay, the icon change in the pink love rocket I found good. The icon looks more after the actual riding - I found that suitable. But with so pretty much all other messages of the last days I lack the understanding.

from concubines to loyalists

Especially annoys me the adaptation of the twin conubins in the throne of thunder. The hot future Twin Empyreans and their story was simply changed completely. Previously, they were the greatest treasures of the Donnerkönig and the only female Mogu something very special. Her name concubines , along with her pretty liberal clothing, also made it clear to each person relatively quickly to treasures it was the two. They are certainly not working as Lei Shens financial advisors.

In the new text, the now simply particularly faithful loyalists are the last defense line. Why do you walk around in the bikini? Unimportant details.

I hate this where should that end? - I just remain in the topic.

Because if Blizzard is already changing so supposed little things like the concubines from Lei Shen because that does not fit into the game, you will have to change a whole lot. Above all, two examples come to me:

Taretha Foxton, the girl serving as an emotional anchor for thall during captivity in Durnholde. The young woman was held by Lord Blackmoore as a mistress and mistreated - where she was still very young before being killed later. Alexstrasza The lifeblin was literally forced to lay eggs for the times of Warcraft II as a breeding machine so that the puppies served as mounts for the ORCs.

These are just two of extremely gloomy incidents in the Warcraft History, which are directly related to sexual violence against women and have them as a topic.

And I found her good. There was a very gloomy touch of Warcraft a very gloomy touch, in places where it fit. It not only helped to define the bad guys (such as Lei Shen, Blackmoore or the Orcs of the Dragon Malclan) more precisely, but also made the female characters stronger in reverse.

I always found it extremely admirable that Alexstrasa, despite this, also loves life and mortal peoples as a whole and - unlike many other female characters - has not simply mistaken. It has remained the epitome of maternity, a protector of life. Sure, somewhere also a cliché-roll for women, but a pretty solid.

Visits lose part of their identity

But what disturbs me even more, the fact that these changes take a dimension to the bad guys. I still know that I found it pretty cool and somehow ice cold , that you have to exhude the livelights before Lei Shen. That was just another dimension of Lei Shen, who made him as a bad guy unsympathetic for me - and that was good. Evil characters do evil things and you want to stop them. Classic, but suitable.

I can absolutely understand that you do not want to glorify it if women are poorly treated or permanently presented in the exploiter-sexualized context. But if the the evil in Wow do - and Lei Shen was at least a quite dictator - then I found that consistent and appropriate.

Finally, I want to once again return to the two images, because I had it longer think, as I do not really my time loving. was that the image of reclining woman varied - okay. I can live with because I can piece together me at least, that the reference is not part of a harem of women as owned in Warcraft to different places. After all, the picture is hanging in several places and not just the evil boss in the private office.

sexism and sexuality - Does Blizzard the difference?

But that the Lady was changed in the picture with the plunging neckline, I find difficult to understand. Either does not know the difference Blizzard (or ignored him deliberately) between sexism and a sexy appearance or the voluntary and self-determined show of sexuality. wanted to send me the picture always looked out after, when it states that it is some high nobility lady who just aware of the scene without any exploits or be reduced to something.

Sexuality belonged, to some extent, has always been to Warcraft. Be it the Flirt sayings of the various characters or sometimes something anzüglicheren jokes, the units have already given in Warcraft III on its own. A loose, humorous approach to the subject matter has always been a Warcraft, like flirting and more liberal clothing are perfectly normal in our society.

It is time that Blizzard explains slow times why some of the contents have been changed. Because it might be good reasons. Perhaps it really was a number of complaints from certain cultures. Or all of the content that will now be changed, are originally from the developers that deeply stuck scandal sexism in.

If no reasons to come in the next few weeks, the difficult. After gradually sexuality and any kind of movement - and thus self-imposed movement - be removed from the game, makes the game subjectively worse.

After Blizzard had already established under criticism that there is in the game room for all sexualities and gender, will be everywhere cut so that the acting out or even hinting of sexuality no longer degenerates and is apparently completely undesirable. This is no less than stupid.

But if you at it, you are Blizzard, then please keep in mind that you have a quest in the German client, the Good to birds is. Would be a pity if the place again someone funny and actually enjoys it.
