Patch 9.1.5 of World of Warcraft is full of hidden changes. We reveal what has changed without your knowledge.
A new update is live in World of Warcraft. The Patch 9.1.5 brought not much new content, but a lot of improvements that significantly upgrade the game for main and secondary characters. But aside from the numerous changes recorded in the official patch notes, there are many smaller adjustments that Blizzard has not publicly mentioned.
Often these are just small detail changes, sometimes nice gimmicks or tricks to combat bots. We reveal all previously undocumented changes – the things that Blizzard keeps silent about in the patch notes.
- The character selection screen now shows whether a character has unread mail.
- Newly created characters now have a high-resolution armor set.
- The Paladin’s “Divine Storm” has a different visual effect.
- The frog mounts have a slowed animation.
- The jump animation of the Night Fae’s yak form has been changed.
- The ascent animation of the trolls has been revised.
- The cap for Valor and Conquest points has been removed. You can now farm these two resources infinitely until the end of the current season.
- The portals in the covenant sanctums now teleport you to the flight master area of Oribos and no longer to the arrival platform.
- The icon for the standard backpack has been revised and is now higher resolution.
- The currency symbols for gold, copper, and silver have been revised and are now higher resolution.
- A chest of countless things is now located in the entrance area of Torghast.
- The Soul Forge in Torghast now has a new layout.
The major overhaul of “problematic” content
Apart from these undocumented changes, there are still countless smaller changes that, while broadly announced, have not been documented in detail. These involve content that is seen as problematic by the developers and parts of the community. Jokes with particular suggestiveness, sexist implications, and humor that is not shared by everyone. Overall, these changes can be summarized as follows:
- Numerous jokes and flirt lines of the characters have been disabled.
- Many female NPCs have been renamed or supplemented with male NPCs with similar roles.
- NPCs, quests, and items with references to real people have been renamed.
- Some game content, such as certain images, has been redesigned.
- The area “Mac’Aree” on Argus has been renamed “Eredath,” including all items that refer to it.
These are just the changes that have become known so far. Have you noticed any further details? Have you observed adjustments or innovations that were not included in the official patch notes?
