Really happy for the people that benefit from this truly...Even if you just wanna meme and see crabs but like... really.... this is next level cringe.
So, how about having a toggle that changes draenei into humans for me?
As someone who has arachnophobia I've never been massively freaked out by the spider models in WoW; seems non-realistic spider models are fine. But I think this mode is amazing for those who are arachnophobia and are massively creeped out by them. A good move on Blizzard's part and a fun one too :)
The female form terrifies me more than anything else in this world. Can we get a toggle for that please? Turn them into a Bowl of Fruit perhaps.
Pretty cringey, tbh, but it's harmless so there's no real complaint from me.Chances are, one of the devs has severe arachnophobia, and so coded this in so they could work more effectively, and they've just spread this as a toggleable option for other people for some brownie points. This isn't costing us a raid tier or anything stupid like that (hell, assuming I'm right about the origin it possibly adds more content to the game by increasing the efficiency of the dev in question) and it's something that is completely optional AND non canon, so no skin off my bones.I wish this 'live and let live' attitude had saved some portraits from becoming bowls of fruit and removing /flirts, but oh well. Maybe that's something they can consider- turning those censorship/removal of uncomfortable stuff into a toggleable option so that people don't have to see it if they don't want to. Hell, have the censorship turned on by default and make us consent to turning it off.
after years of running RFD and farming naxx... Finally...
instead of learning to face fears... of an INGAME PIXEL SPIDER... they act like snowflakes and want such silly fixes.. KEKok whatever - it's silly, that's all
The arthropods can't escape for the ultimate evolution path, carcinization. Even in WoW.
....you have to admit this is hilarious. Mad respect for my arachnophobic homies out there, though.
i'm all for accessibility options but this is actually kinda ridiculous. You're telling me if you're afraid of spiders, that horrible ice cave with crabs hanging from spiderwebs wouldn't trigger you anyway? it's funny but i sure hope it doesn't take a lot of dev time. How many people actually need this? Like not just "i don't like spiders" but full blown panic attack arachnophobia that is also triggered by the cartoonish style and also nerubians and anything else that even has a partial spider body?Like what are we talking about herewho is this for and how large is the impact vs the effort
While this is great for those with this conditionMy only question is, are they opening a Pandora Box with this being just a "toggle option"? What about people with ohter phobias?How many people are afraid of dead bodies and ghosts? WoW is filled with undeads/zombies/ghosts. Time to "toggle" off Undead to start with and then Death Knight Class can be next! 🤔And that's just the start of literally hundreds of diff phobias you can encounter inside the WoW's virtual world.
