Possible explanation could be that the model is actually the corpse of the Jailer after his defeat in Eternity's End , the runes were added later by the Jailer or someone else, or simply that the developers forgot the history of the runes in their attempt to make the model recognizable. Regardless, some players were actually intrigued by the newly-discovered model and the secrets it held.
The World of Warcraft art team did a good job making the discarded automaton seem sad and hopeless, leading some players to actually empathize with it. Players are eager to discover the truth of the mannequin and what part it has to play in the upcoming narrative of Eternity's End. Other players were unmoved by this discovery.
This model is just another detail in a story that has divested their interest in the Shadowlands narrative. World of Warcraft: Shadowlands is available on PC. Other changes are more subtle, though, like the toning down of some in-game paintings and the removal of a number of "joke" lines that players could deliver using a chat command. Much of the removed content could be considered unnecessarily sexual compared to the tone of the rest of the game, or was explicitly or implicitly degrading toward women.
Have you played World of Warcraft? These changes have been steadily rolled out on World of Warcraft's Public Test Realm, but are preparing to go live in an upcoming game patch. As websites have datamined, discovered, and reported on these changes, the community's reaction has been mixed, a reaction that was acknowledged in a recent VentureBeat interview with game director Ion Hazzikostas. While many welcomed the removal of inappropriate content, he noted, others were confused or even frustrated.
Why was Activision-Blizzard removing years-old joke lines instead of spending its energy on more pressing matters, like fixing its company culture or dealing with the lawsuit?
In the interview, Hazzikostas argued that the World of Warcraft team is doing its part of the whole to improve the company's work culture with the tools in front of them:. That work is still underway.
What does that work entail, then, exactly? Hazzikostas says that the system for changing game content was born in the wake of the lawsuit from a need for individual teams to assess where they, specifically, could be better. There are things that people on our team were not proud to have in our game.
So they set up an internal process for the World of Warcraft team to flag pieces of the game for review, such as old quests or specific dialogue lines. For instance, jokes and references "made a dozen years ago" mocking male blood elves for being feminine. The content submitted is then reviewed by a group that "reflects the diversity of our team today" on the WoW team to determine whether it should be kept or changed.
It might be off-color. These leaks have not been corroborated, however, and the original source even deleted their "findings. This isn't the first time that a World of Warcraft console edition has been "leaked. Blizzard later clarified that it had "no plans" to bring World of Warcraft to console.
Odds are, it was a simple mistake tied the Brazilian ratings board's databases or Blizzard's filings in the region. Whatever the reason, a World of Warcraft console edition has not come to be since. One last noteworthy aspect to the situation is that, even if there was a potential World of Warcraft console edition planned to be announced, it may not be in the plans anymore.
Activision Blizzard is currently in the midst of a major controversy spinning out of lawsuits against the company for sexual harassment and gender discrimination, including accusations against Activision CEO Bobby Kotick. Microsoft, PlayStation, and other companies have made public statements condemning the situation.
Any previously planned announcements could now be paused.
