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.

      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.
