    They removed the 'in'famous "B***'" from the Garrosh Sylvanas dialogue????

    WoW, Just WOW!

    *UPDATE*

    Steve Danuser elaborated on their reasoning behind the removal.

    https://twitter.com/SteveDanuser/sta...83999341953024

    Allow me to explain the decision. A team member sent feedback that he enjoyed playing the game with his kid, but when they encountered Garrosh's line, it stuck out from other language in the game.

    Several of us discussed the feedback and decided to make a change.
    Holinka Agrees

    Replying to @SteveDanuser

    It's the right decision.

    The "bitch" line always felt so random. Calling Sylvanas a bitch was a real understatement, it's like calling Sargeras an asshole. This is a psycho who experimented on civilians, raised innocent people into undeath, and was planning to unleash a deadly chemical weapon on a civilian target... certainly there are better and more creative insults for someone like that.

    Regardless I don't care. I suppose this will somewhat embellish Sylvanas' otherwise horrible legacy when she finally dies.

    Do we really have to whine about EVERY SINGLE THING? Seriously? What does it matter?

    I don't know, it always kind of felt out of place to me for the setting. I felt the same in TFT when Sylvanas told Arthas, "Give my regards to hell, you son of a bitch."

    Yeah, it was so out of place, it kind of made me cringe whenever i heard him say it. It kind of just makes you back up and say "whoa, dude, you really went there?"

    Well she is kind of a bitch so it's a shame it was removed. The guy was a psycho but he was right.

    It's out of character when it's the only profanity we've ever seen him use.

    How does Danuser still have a job after all this shitty Sylvanas fanfic

    No, it is happening. The zone changed, it belongs to the Goblins now and is their home. Hearthstone is having a mechanical themed expansion soon, November's cardback is Goblin influenced and revealed concept art shows Goblin machinery. It's a HS expansion, sorry.

    So out of place to call a self-serving and selfish woman a bitch..

    I mean who really gives a shit. It was weird and jarring that it was ever there in the first place tbh.
    I always saw it as one of the rare moments in WoW lore where the raw unbridled personality of a major lore character was allowed to be shown (similar to Anduin punching Wrathion in the face). But I guess now verbal disrespect is worse than Genocide.

    In a game where murder and looting is commonplace and has WAR in it's name, the storytelling should not be censored to fit any political climate.

    No big deal. People as always making a mountain out of a molehill.

    He's an Orc. He should've insulted her in orcish and it just doesn't get translated to us, like many other words (Lok'tar Ogar, Mak'gora)

    They should make more use of their fantasy languages and weave in some words here and there and that especially with curse words. It's somehow more immersive when a fantasy world curses with fantasy words.

    That would be good. It is a poor popular slang word with no place in WoW, to be honest.

    I don´t care too much, but better without it.

    Blizzard is afraid of SJW going to twitter and condemning them for being sexist by having an angry evil orc call another evil bitch, a bitch. Oh my!

    I don't think it's inconsistent with this character, but I do think it's out of character in general when any form of expletive is so rare, even in full on war/genocide/etc. it felt a bit forced.

    God forbids someone insulting Danuser's waifu so hard!!!

    They should remove Sylvanas' Son of a bitch line to Arthas as well but nah, villain Sue can do anything.

    /facepalm
