Emotes Readded with Patch 9.1.5 Build 40496

PTR Posted 2021/10/05 at 4:08 PM by Anshlun

previously removed emotes

User Interface and Accessibility

Several emotes have been adjusted:

Drool, cough, burp, fart, whistle, spit, and moon no longer change when used while targeting a player.

Developers’ note: Some of these emotes seem to have harmless intentions at a glance, but when used while targeting another player, their intentions can turn unexpectedly suggestive or intrusive. We’ve made adjustments to these emotes with negative connotations towards another player, while also adding a few new ones.

You can't target people (Or NPC's) with these emotes which, as I understand, is the same as last build? What exactly changed here?Comment by RivertamDKGood.

All of it.Comment by KelrasSomewhat misleading title. They didn't re-add those emotes to listen to disgruntled players. They re-added them because they were never intended to be removed. They were meant to be modified, but somehow they managed not to fit that into the previous buildComment by DinamitasSomewhat misleading title.

Removing jokes and flirts is too much, the game does not need to be de-sexualized to the bare-bone, players shouldn't have to sacrifice character personality/identity for a bunch of needed game changes :/Comment by KaesorI’m pro all cancel stuff that is truly offensive but…this jokes…are jokes. And they were funny and it’s a “fantasy game”! I can’t imagine blood elf’s suing any nightborne in zandalar court because he felt offended for the “ley line” joke…I mean CMON!Comment by CrusherixRemovedComment by RivertamDKHuh, it’s almost like the PTR is a constantly updating thing and we shouldn’t get too emotionally invested into changes not yet confirmed for live 🤔 weirdComment by SolasoundGood.
