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.

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
