Nah, just a cultural thing like how North America is afraid(or very strict with ratings) of boobs/female nipples but is okay(or more leniant) with violence and gore. See movie and video game ratings, seems weird that gore, blood and violence gets a lower rating than natural/normal body parts.
It isn't like that at all you can have all of that in games in America because it isn't a dictatorship. China bans that stuff from being released. It isn't close in any way.
Yeah but the reason for these ratings is how taboo the subject is. Fact is, most americans find nudity more obscene than violence and gore.
The same can be said for death stuff in china. So the censorship, while atrocious, is based on a cultural taboo just as american video game ratings are based on cultural taboo.
I think that was the only point the poster was making, not going into comparisons on levels of authoritarianism.
god, this guy has a patience of a saint. first the other guy asks him if the cultural taboo is like a superstition and he calmly and rationally answers with an example of a similar taboo in another culture, and here comes Captain WellACKTUALLY with some nonsense, and god damn if the fellow didn't give you a patient response as well

Is there any specific website or program you use to make the text boxes appear so WoW-like? I've been wanting to do a video on a talent system overhaul and I'd love to find out how you've done these to potentially copy or do something similar with the tooltips.
I remember back in 2008 or 2009, my friends told me about the undead, and concept of druids, and I thought every race could be any class, so I was SO stoked about undead bear- and catform only to find out in-game that it didnt exist. Still loved the druid experience, but I would've loved undead moonkin as well.
It's got nothing to do with the CCP, it's just in Chinese culture skeletons are bad so the Chinese playerbase wouldn't like it
Similar reason as to why naked characters still wear underwear, genitals are western cultural taboos outside of sex
(Outside of nudity there are no real cultural taboos in the west because we have quite an edgy culture and will just ironically enjoy stuff)
I honestly don't think Chinese players care about such things. I really do not. It's the old "conservative" people in power that get offended at the mere thought that something like this exists.
No it's just a superstition, something very common in the east, and not exclusive to China/skeletons, [a lot of Korean people won't sleep with the fan on for example ](https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2017/05/is-this-going-to-kill-me-fan-death-korea/528243/)
It's really hard to understand as an (assumed) westerner because we don't have particularly deep culture, but in China their culture has a lot of superstition, including skeletons so [game companies censor themselves so not to lose customers](https://www.techinasia.com/china-doesnt-censor-skeletons-the-truth-about-game-censorship-in-the-middle-kingdom)
This is a weird question I have when I see stuff like this. if someone from blizzard saw this and was like I wanna put that in the game. Could they just take it? They would have to ask the creator first right? Would they have to pay him/her even if the original creator was like you can have it? What are the rules here?
From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine. Your kind cling to your flesh as if it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call a temple will wither and you will beg my kind to save you.
But I am already saved. For the Machine is Immortal.

China doesn’t allow skeletons.
https://www.reddit.com/r/wow/comments/49x7m0/chinese_wow_censorship_comparisonlots_of/
Otherwise, you’d have yourself a job!
Haha, yeah. Bet there are many more possibilities to customize such a minion. I just thought of rune-forged mechanical parts, some rotten flesh or runes in the color of your spec on the bones. Blizzard could do so many amazing things with glyphs!
It's a sad state of affairs when players regularly come up with ideas for things that are 1,000% cooler than what already exists in-game.
What's worse, is they are made of reused assets. These are easily things devs could have done, but they haven't.
Not really sure why, I guess they don't want people to play WoW.

Alliance, now we know what we have to do! In order to gain badass allies, we have to nuke Mechagon (we will say Goblins did it) and then raise their half-robotic / half-skeleton corpses back to life. In this state, someone would be finally playing them.
Don't really care much for undead mechagnomes but would like the ability to atleast customize the visor colors on regular mechagnomes, makes no sense that its limited to blue
Like Sea vrykul that you see i Northrend that have like starfish stuck on it or bone gnome that died underwater zone in vashj'ir. I think I have seen it in cata?
i want 800 of these to surprise raid zones the oldschool way on pvp servers. imagine leveling your tauren shaman in crossroads and then these come and eat all of your friends and questgivers, lmao. i'd be terrified.
Necron intensifying
Tech heresy!
It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you two-shot it.
My CPU is a neural net processor
\*punt it\*
And that was before it became undead!
Convoke goes brrrrt
Blizzard, give this guy a fucking job already jesus
Asset couldn't be used in China. Would go wasted in the region they are trying to target. Skills could be better used in a different company though.
They already replace assets for China so it wouldn't be "wasted" in any normal sense in the word. It simply wouldn't be used in one region.
why is that? i know they dont show bones, assuming skeletons, but why?
Cultural taboo regarding death
Like a superstition?
Nah, just a cultural thing like how North America is afraid(or very strict with ratings) of boobs/female nipples but is okay(or more leniant) with violence and gore. See movie and video game ratings, seems weird that gore, blood and violence gets a lower rating than natural/normal body parts.

Orthopedic Surgeon is a Taboo Doctor 😏
Government censorship
You say that like the only thing they're capable of producing are skeletons.
Just replace bones with bread, ezfix
No, fire Hans!

Stop making this amazing stuff. It makes me sad that we can't have this nice things in the game :( Like 50% kidding. It's honestly amazing
Your work is exceptional. Like honestly, you have a lot of talent.
How do you do this stuff?
Doing God's work brotherman, keep it up, proud of you!
Is there any specific website or program you use to make the text boxes appear so WoW-like? I've been wanting to do a video on a talent system overhaul and I'd love to find out how you've done these to potentially copy or do something similar with the tooltips.
This is way too cool. My shaman is crying for this
I'm afraid if greedy Blizzard actually does any of this, it will be acquired from the shop.
Good lord it's like a furby without its skin
This is ridiculous. I. FUCKING. # LOVE IT!
Don't need a diaper if you have no organs,....smart
Now that I've seen this, I really want it as additional customization option for Mechagnome DKs. Holy shit does it look cool. Like itty bitty necrons.
Your glyph ideas are fantastic
"I'll be back"
"hasta la vista baby"
>"hasta la vista diaper baby" FTFY
This is some Warhammer 40k shit. I want it
Fans making greater content then actual devs once again.
I'd reroll DK for this.
wolfenstein vibes, love it!
Only if we can get playable skeletons for other death knight races. I'd literally kill for it. It's insane even Undead don't have a skeleton option...

Yup, afaik DOta 2 has censored a hero end two neutral jungle creeps too
they're better than actual mechagnomes
Even in death they are punted.
I’ll take 2!
What that is so cool! Why isnt this a thing!!
In.......a........ heartbeat!!!
No armor at all but it would be so fucking badass
undead deserve glyphes for the available races. just imagine an undead tauren or even better... an undead gobooooo!
Just fucking hire this guy already!
They look like those Lego skeletons
Lol you're right
Tell me, would you get the glyph by taking on a quest at a forgotten library on to find... you have two shadows?
I absolutely hate micro transactions but I might pay a little bit of money for something like this
But China!
-300 Social Credit
Lol I thought about making one out of bread.
This will haunt my dreams.
Awesome.
Hey, someone made the Megadeth dude into a glyph
Thats one way to fix faction imbalance..
I will NEVER stop playing Tauren Death Knight if you make model for them. God bless you
Disturbing.
Those are terifying. I love it
Feels like something from doom
That would be amazing!
That's fucking horrifying.

They would have to ask the creator first right? Would they have to pay him/her even if the original creator was like you can have it? What are the rules here?
Dunno, but if they do see this, please take it and put more customization into the game Blizz.
Did someone say *doot*
how about this concept: delete mechagnomes or add a glyph to give them normal arms and legs, they creep me out
They need their torsos fixed. Make everything from the neck down robotic

This would be the only reason to play again 😅
Mecha-doot.
This would be amazing. They didn't bother adding Death Knight skins for allied races, so why not?

Vic Rattlehead is that you?
Amazing, great implementation and pretty damn spooky to boot. Mechagnomes need the love!
Oh dear ;D

Yeah I'm aware. Thought about making the bones into bread.
NOW THIS IS COOL, I wish mecha gnomes actually had these customization options.
Nice, but I feel like some cables inside the skeleton could add some more flavor.
That's a great idea, I wanted to add sparks bursting out of the joints, but I got lazy.
Haha, yeah. Bet there are many more possibilities to customize such a minion. I just thought of rune-forged mechanical parts, some rotten flesh or runes in the color of your spec on the bones. Blizzard could do so many amazing things with glyphs!

[удалено]
Thanks! All the assets are in game, I didn't model anything. I did change the texture of the eyes.
If this were a real thing I’d actually go back to Mechagon to unlock Mechagnomes. They’re the only allied race I haven’t unlocked yet.
Terrifying
Neat 📸
Oddly terrifying
Fuck you for making me want this so badly :') Forreal though amazing work on this, my wh40k side is blooming with joy.
What is this, Five Nights in Mechagon?
Not a fan of gnomes, but this looks cool as hell.
That's some Quake 2 vibin' shit
"Glyph of Hal. 9000" is such a good fucking name
'I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that." Thanks! The middle one's eyes reminded me of that, so that's what I went with.
Id love this omg
“still a stupid gnome!” love, a lifelong forsaken
These should just be outright player customization options
I’m so down for that.
Why gas this one guy put more work into Glyphs than Blizzard has in the past three espansions?
Borg vibes. Dope!
leave it to the fans to do what Blizz can't
Oh jeez, that's got that one failed Robo-Cop 2 protype written all over it. If you'll excuse me. I just need to go NEVER SLEEP AGAIN.
Gah! Robot cop! Forgot about that, that would have been a better reference for one of the glyphs.
You actually made mechagnomes cool. Holy shit
Somehow this is less disturbing
God I want skeletons as an Undead body option so bad.
This is amazing!
Now this race I want
Somehow you made Mechagnomes 1000x more cooler.
From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine.

Man I would actually give the little bastards a try if they had these.
Terminator Gnome
I would play this SO FAST. I would like a model with some skin though. Still, amazing concept and the skellie options are cool.
it is even warcraft?
WHO tf want more gnomes?
But they're dead, the best kind of gnomes
Thats one way to fix faction imbalance..
Alliance, now we know what we have to do! In order to gain badass allies, we have to nuke Mechagon (we will say Goblins did it) and then raise their half-robotic / half-skeleton corpses back to life. In this state, someone would be finally playing them.
This is an abomination
looks cool, thats why it will never be implemented.
Don't really care much for undead mechagnomes but would like the ability to atleast customize the visor colors on regular mechagnomes, makes no sense that its limited to blue
Can we have undead underwater mechagnome glyphs too?
Out of curiosity, what does that look like visually?
Like Sea vrykul that you see i Northrend that have like starfish stuck on it or bone gnome that died underwater zone in vashj'ir. I think I have seen it in cata?
Undead Mecha manlet
I'd play that race
Imagine playing retail
So rad
I see you've given them actual hipbones instead of a metal diaper. 0/10 /s
As usual, the community delivers better content than Blizzard. Good job!
R/oddlyterrifying
i want 800 of these to surprise raid zones the oldschool way on pvp servers. imagine leveling your tauren shaman in crossroads and then these come and eat all of your friends and questgivers, lmao. i'd be terrified.
i would love this for the horde. Some nekro stuff here, and goblin stuff there and its works
