Another small round of changes in this week's Patch 9.1.5 PTR build rename a
Wrath of the Lich King
reference to George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher and adjust the quest dialogue of
Не оставим местных жителей в беде
and
День, когда пришел Смертокрыл: все было совсем иначе...
, continuing
Blizzard's intent to update areas of the game
considered to be outdated and inconsistent with their values.
Corpsegrinder
Gorge the Corpsegrinder
is now
Annihilator Grek'lor
. Named for the lead vocalist of the death metal band Cannibal Corpse, George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher became infamous for his
profanity laced tirade against Alliance players in a 2007 interview
, epitomizing the faction divide between the Alliance and Horde in a bombastic and insensitive way. Though not out of character for a band which has been
subject to obscenity controversy
since it's inception, he was honored with an NPC reference in 2008's
Wrath of the Lich King
, likely due to several senior developers of the time being noted fans of heavy metal genre music.
Fisher's BlizzCon 2011 appearance was the subject of controversy, after introducing the musician with a censored clip of the same hateful tirade.
During BlizzCon 2011, he was
invited on stage alongside the real-life Elite Tauren Chieftain
band made up of Blizzard employees Samwise Didier, Chris Sigaty, Dave Berggren, Alan Dabiri, and Mike Morhaime, and while the guest appearance drew criticism over introducing the musician with a censored clip from the same interview, prompting an
apology from the band
as well as a follow-on
apology from then CEO Mike Morhaime
, the NPC reference remained.
Mike Morhaime
Dear members of the Blizzard community,
I have read your feedback and comments about this year's BlizzCon, and I have also read the feedback to the apology from Level 90 Elite Tauren Chieftain. I'd like to respond to some of your feedback here.
As president of Blizzard, I take full responsibility for everything that occurs at BlizzCon.
It was shortsighted and insensitive to use the video at all, even in censored form. The language used in the original version, including the slurs and use of sexual orientation as an insult, is not acceptable, period. We realize now that having even an edited version at the show was counter to the standards we try to maintain in our forums and in our games. Doing so was an error in judgment, and we regret it.
The bottom line is we deeply apologize for our mistakes and for hurting or offending anyone. We want you to have fun at our events, and we want everyone to feel welcome. We're proud to be part of a huge and diverse community, and I am proud that so many aspects of the community are represented within Blizzard itself.
As a leader of Blizzard, and a member of the band, I truly hope you will accept my humblest apology.
- Mike Morhaime President, Blizzard Entertainment
Damsels No Longer
Не оставим местных жителей в беде
is one of several quests in which the
Don Quixote
inspired Paladin
Максимилиан Североземский
crusades to rescue damsels in distress, battle dragons, and defeat the mother of all devilsaurs in Un'Goro Crater. Despite his chivalrous intentions however, many of his quests go awry, "saving" one damsel from her own pet parrot, inadvertently pushing another to her death, and confusing a third for what is actually a male Blood Elf. While we found that the damsels were renamed to
dwellers
in a
previous round of changes
, the quests have now been updated to reflect that the victims of Maximillian's kindness are no longer called maidens or damsels, and the male Blood Elf is no longer mistaken for a female or his misplaced crate referred to as a purse.
The new quest dialogue now refers to the three damsels as town dwellers and changes much of the dialogue misgendering the male Blood Elf character.
Where would one go about finding damsels?
Where would one go about finding town dwellers?
It appears that adventure has made itself apparent. Look, for as yonder maiden treads innocently through the jungle, a hatchling phoenix stalks her as its prey!

Maiden: if your curiosity gnaws at you, then you may know your salvation was delivered by Maximillian of Northshire.

Luck is with us today! A damsel appears before us, stuck in a crag, without hope of escape! Let us go save her!

Maiden! Fear not, for Maximillian of Northshire has arrived to deliver you from your rocky tomb!
Fear not, for Maximillian of Northshire has arrived to deliver you from your rocky tomb!
Save me! I've dropped my belongings into the hot springs. My gowns are in there!
Help! I've dropped my belongings into the hot springs.
Look squire, yon maiden has lost her purse to the sulfurous waters of the Golakka Hot Springs.
Look squire, a town dweller has lost his crate to the sulfurous waters of the Golakka Hot Springs.
Maiden! Fear not, I seek only to steady the quiver in thine lower lip. Is that your purse that floats 'pon the water, so agonizingly close yet so perilously far away?
Fear not, I seek only to help. Is that your crate that floats 'pon the water, so agonizingly close yet so perilously far away?
What? Yes, that's my... crate. And I'm not a...
What? Yes, that's my crate...
You're not a what? Not available? Worry not, for my heart belongs only to the lady Doloria, though one as fair as you must command the hearts of many.
Move not an inch! It shall be retrieved! Doloria, the lady of my heart, tells me often that kindness to all in need is the height of chivalry.
My squire will retrieve your purse for you.
My squire will pull your crate from the water for you post-haste.
I'm not sure I know what to make of all of this, other than I'm very insulted, and thank you for returning my purse. I mean crate!
I'm not sure I know what to make of all of this, but... hmmm... thank you for returning my crate.
Hot Fans
День, когда пришел Смертокрыл: все было совсем иначе...
is another comical Cataclysm quest in which several drunkards are arguing over who saved the Badlands from Deathwing. The version told by
Мартек Изгой
begins with choosing between which admirer to save in his flight-capable motorcycle, before challenging Deathwing the Destroyer to a knife fight. Along with
last week's updates
which also changed a line of related dialogue, the quest no longer refers to his fans as baby or hot babes.
In the new dialogue, the "hot babe" admirers are now simply referred to as fans.
I believe I was showing my motorcycle to some hot babes at the time.
I believe I was showing my motorcycle to some fans of mine at the time.
Hop in, baby.
Hop in!
