Sorry for your incontinence

That joke is taking the piss now, come on...

Couldn’t wait for this to pop up in the news feed, but I really think Blizzard needs to rethink the name. I get the point: ‘in continent,’ as well as the John Wick reference: however, it really does seem like Blizz thinks we’ll be sh**ing ourselves to be here.

They don't have to rethink anything. It is part of the joke!

[Ereb]

The outcry is already happening. I wouldn't say it has reached massive levels but some threads have popped up on the official WoW forums and the WoW Reddit.

Hard to tell if people are legit serious about this, or a vocal minority just wants to be the first ones who "took the stand" or whatever.

What is even the supposed issue here?

[SinR]

I saw the name and just rolled my eyes.

I really don't care if they end up keeping it or changing it.

[Dolorosa]

Really hope the rubes don't end up forcing Blizz to change this.

I want my serious Warcraft back where the Goblins on the Zeppelins made "Vrooom" noises or when I had to deal with poop every Xpac.

There isn't one, just the usual "modern people" who get offended by anything.

The gist of it, at least what I gather, is people being offended that the reference is implying making fun of people who suffer from "incontinence" which is lack of bladder and/or bowel control.

You gotta be kidding me LMAO

[Doffen]

unrelated note, if they don't have Biggus Diccus and Incontinentia Buttocks in there somewhere I will be disappointed

Yep, or no sub!!!!11

Is this for real? that is beyond sad.

It's typical mid-expansion bitching. Happens all the time.

People are idiots lmao. Cause if they read the fucking thing from that Goblin guy, the joke is very clearly that they fucked up the name. But alas, you can't expect WoW fans to read.

Ok now I'm confused, so apparently it's also homage to the John Wick movies? I haven't seen them (whatever) but I'm aware of story notes and the name of the hotel in the film is the "Continental Hotel" so I'm confused on what exactly the problem is here that people have.

I have read comments, in regards to the films, about pissing the bed so is there a piss scene in them?

Was Trump there? :O


...I'll see myself out

[Relapses]

If you're somehow offended by this then somebody needs to change your diaper.

I don't think it's an homage to the John Wick movies at all. It's a simple coincidence. This is a pee joke. In a game rated T for Teen. Not even a completely lobotomized liberal could find a way to be offended by this, so my take is that if you are somehow finding a way to be offended, it's because you're one of the shoe sized IQ apes that will be mad at Blizzard regardless of what they do (or don't do).

Maybe Goblins just have bad spelling skills?

There's a Goblin you can ask about it. It's supposed to mean "in the continent" since it's underground. You can then point out that'd be "Intracontinental". His response? "Oh."

[WeAreNotSmilesTimes]

You gotta be kidding me LMAO

Not even the least bit surprising. People these days are offended by anything. It must be an exhausting way to live their lives tbh.

[Gnomohawk]

The joke is intentional.

That said, I absolutely hate it.

[Joshuaj]

Some of y'all gotta lighten up, my goodness.

[paxen]

I approve of goblin silliness and this isn't offensive at all.

Except that it's a pretty bad joke. I find that offensive. They could have done better!
