Ultimately, for what we do, for the business we are in, which is creative and collaborative, we need everyone to feel at ease and everyone to trust one another, to feel open, to feel safe. At all levels of our organization, those are the conversations that are going on, asking, 'What more can we do? The question of "what more can we do" has also manifested in the form of in-game changes coming in patch 9. World of Warcraft is a year-old game, and it's not exactly surprising that some older jokes, references, or imagery have not withstood the test of time.
World of Warcraft is an evolving, living world," Hazzikostas said. It's incumbent on us, [it's] our duty, that the world we are curating, the world we are the caretakers of, remains reflective of our team's values and our playerbase's values in and beyond.
Hazzikostas explained how the team is currently going about reevaluating older game content for the modern era. The World of Warcraft team has set up internal channels for team members to speak up about pieces of potentially problematic content that may be worth taking a second look at.
He called it a bottom-up effort on the part of the team, with members calling attention to various aspects of the game that may have bothered them for a long time but, without an official method for calling attention to the content in question, was previously never looked at with a critical eye. Once flagged for another look, a panel of team leads of different backgrounds, races, genders, and perspectives evaluate the content before determining whether or not it should stay as is, be reworked, or be removed from the game entirely.
It all comes down to whether or not the content in question is making the game a less welcoming environment. There's plenty of room for humor, and humor is going to land for some and not land for others. Some people are going to find some things offensive to their sensibilities, but that's not universally what we are trying to target. At the end of the day we are a T for Teen game. There are double entendres, there are things along those lines that are there to stay.
It's making sure we are taking all perspectives into account, when we are making those jokes we aren't making them at the expense of particularly lesser represented groups. Some of the changes have come at the request of the community, and the team is making an effort to pay closer attention to those.
Though the content is being changed now, Hazzikostas said fan discussions revolving around the depiction of female Mogu and the name of the Twin Consorts raid encounter in 's Mists of Pandaria expansion are examples of instances where fan concerns fell on deaf ears. Now we are trying to change that. In addition to attempts to make Azeroth a more welcoming place, patch 9. Please enable JavaScript in your browser. Live PTR. Vengeance Demon Hunter.
