The Evolution of Creative Content in World of Warcraft

[Aveelle-bladefist]

@BlizzardEntertainment

Over the last few weeks, artists and writers across the WoW team have updated a small number of old quests, art assets, names, and dialogue that we identified as outdated and inconsistent with our values as a team. These updates are a relatively small part of a comprehensive, company-wide effort to improve the WoW team and Blizzard as a whole, but they’re important to us as developers.

As the writer you should know that blizzard only tries to get some last race change / faction change money in for the heads

theres no future franchise in draining the last player

So you mean that incubi are homohpobic?

All this crap about " as a team " it’s literally the sorriest excuse of a team I’ve seen in recent memory, taking 7 months to deliver the first content patch, 9.2 probably won’t be out this year so 1 major patch in a year in a subscription based game is straight up unacceptable.

9.1.5 will likely drop around the time FFXIV’s endwalker will release and accomplish nothing as endwalker rolls all over it. This dev team needs to spend less time on trival crap and focus on working better as a " team " and getting that content out frequently.

The difference between FFXIV’s devs and WoW’s devs is night and day, one is completely professional and releases content frequently and the other evolved from being a clown into the full blown circus.

WoW just killed themself in Shadowlands

I’d say it was self-harm, not saying intentionally but who knows

FFXIV and NW killed it while WoW was vunerable.

Glad i jumped ship at the right time, after all the talk of WoW killers, its actually Blizzard who puts in the final nail themselves

[Eredar-razorgore]

Evolution i.e. force diversity and change ingame content to delude yourselves you’re making some real life change.

Blizzard is even more backwards and insane than I thought, in that you think changing these things in game will improve Teams within Blizzard, like HOW? “You know, I was going to sexually abuse her, but we changed that stuff in game didn’t we? You know what, I’m reborn”.

All this reminds me of my own workplace and daily eye roll everyone gets. This is the same disingenuous garbage Marketing would send around us all, and I 100% bet the vast majority actually working at Blizzard are doing the same thing, eye rolling. Also reminds me of Tech companies forcefully pushing upgrades or replacing old tech and stating how much of an upgrade it is, all because they said so. What are these assets etc that have been updated? Going to tell us? No?

Heaven knows what mental “evolution” will happen next, because whatever it is, I nearly guarantee no real person is going to like it.

but they’re important to us as developers

I appreciate the updates to be honest.
There’s a lot more to be done, especially if the goal is to have some form of consistancy because what is offensive and not does differ from person to person. But nontheless its a small step in a decent direction I feel.

That said, agree with what others said that there is a lot that needs work, but im not gonna get angry considering that you don’t turn everything around in one day and things need time… time that no matter how loud someone may shout doesn’t magically go by faster.

If I may, I have been trying to reach someone for months now, via forums, twitter, email, all sorts of ways to hopefully raise a little awareness and help point out things that could be implemented quickly without taking away valuable resources working on other parts of the game.
I would really really appreciate any kind of reply because I care about the game, the people putting in the hours to keep it running and the people playing it alike. Thanks in advance.

Heyo everyone, Reviving an older thread in general in the hopes that it may get some traction here rather than the underused lore section of the forums. Not to long ago there was quite a hype about adding more allied races or customization options regarding character height among other things. Now I think people understand that making the models, rigging them, and making armors fit etc or adding anything major especially given the current pace of content creation due to covid as well as some …

I read a lot of the responses to this, can you specify who these people are? Or is it one person? Actually, it doesn’t matter, in hindsight upon typing this I’m convinced that by what you said and how you said it, that you likely classify yourself as an “influencer” or someone who gets on like one. This is a feedback forum, not Twitter.

In retrospect, thank god this is the retail feedback forum or else I’d be particularly bothered with your mindset. Carry on, retail is just a MMO.

[Eredar-razorgore]

That’s like saying why didn’t youtube just didn’t put a message out that adverts seen before and during videos are not endorsed or directly related to content that’s played? But of course we all know they didn’t, and instead used it to demonetise/delete channels to censor the platform and reduce it to children’s entertainment, I mean “Family” entertainment.

Blizzard doing the same, politics and bs at it’s finest as they say.

@Eredar-razorgore

You’re fairly quick to jump to conclusions about who I am given but a single post in this thread. Not entirely sure why there is a any need to make it personal.

Don’t get me wrong, I am not excusing any immoral and bs behaviour, nor am I gonna support it.
There is a point to be made though that the few people who are still working on wow and want to make it better get hammered all the same, even if they are not the ones responsible, or even worse, could have been a former victim of abuse in the company themselves.

You’re free to speak your mind, sure. But it’s important (in my opinion, you’re welcome not to share it) to be mindful of who you’re directing all the anger towards.

I’m only saying you likely classify yourself as such, not concluding you were one because I obviously don’t know you, and I only based it on what you said and how you said it. It reminds me of the mindsets back early on in retail wow at the time TBC was out, the RPG elements being ripped out more and more after every patch and ones mindlessly supporting it as not a big issue. And you can’t say you weren’t basically supporting it all in your post.

To be fair, there was no anger in what I said (maybe some jumping to conclusions on your end?) if anything it was minor frustration followed by realisation that this was the retail forum I happened to go into by accident, and I lost all hope for it when the Panda expansion came out.

[Koují-argent-dawn]

No hard feelings, it’s alright. ^^
The anger thing wasn’t directed at you really. It was more a statement cause I know that a lot of people say ‘oh f the developers’ , but those aren’t the people calling the shots really.

I am not an influencer or anything of the sort, I got 0 following nor do I really care about it. I’m just passionate about wow cause it’s the thing I played the longest and have the most memories with.
Mostly, I just want it to be the best it can be, and would like to see some suggestions get noticed that a fair few people might quite enjoy from what I gathered.
I shouldn’t expect much, but one can hope.

values as a team

• Disrespecting religious customers by showing us your visual idea of an afterlife
• Becoming radically-left to loose any target audience
• Leaving PvP balancing in an alpha state ; destroying PvP communitys mental
• Selling triple A with subscription for an secretly early access game

Suggestive Player Character Joke and Flirt Voice Lines Removed in Patch 9.1.5

I am sure the good people of Azeroth are now relieved that the Blood Elves cant joke about how femine they look. This is getting beyond ridiculous.

I thought the word “evolution” implied improvement. Guess not

Extinction also important part of the evolution it frees up ecological niche for a new inhabitant.
