The disgusting hostility toward people wanting to play Horde PvP

WoW: Forever World of Warcraft: Forever General Discussion
1

There’s threads expressing valid frustration that people have lost the agency to play the race/faction they want on the ruleset they want in the RPG they paid for and all I see as responses are

“you just want to faction stack and hate PvP” which isn’t just a lie but also sounds like some weird projection from the person who says it

“you’re a baby manchild who needs to grow up” which is just against forum ToS and why aren’t these responses reported and banned?

And of course “just play something you don’t want to play it shouldn’t matter” which is just a jerk response. It does matter, and don’t tell people what to care about.

Let’s remember that the end goal is a positive gaming experience. A balanced PvP server is a means to that end, not an end in itself, and if we have to sacrifice people’s experience to achieve faction balance, we have lost the plot.

Yeah. I bet it’s v frustrating.

A lot of it is just PvE players who are wishing and hoping and praying to every god imaginable that PvP servers fail. Cause, I guess PvE servers are so boring they choose to PvP on the forums for… Some reason? Idk.

I hope blizzard comes up with an actual fix for this.

But not trying to maintain faction balance also sacrifices people’s experience…(And in the long run, your experience as well)

So arguing that your sacrifice is more important than theirs…means YOU have lost the plot

Hey man life isn’t fair. Adapt and overcome. Zero emotions involved here. It is what it is

I hope blizzard comes up with an actual fix for this.

The fix is pretty simple imo. Gotta give Alliance something cool and interesting to make people want to roll Alliance over Horde. Answer could potentially be Worgen Paladins, Night Elf Demon Hunters (remember DH was on the OG Vanilla box art), Night Elf Shamans, etc…

Agreed. I think the producer response to the PvP imbalance question felt very tone deaf.

With that said I don’t know a good solution either that still allows people to play with who they want.

You can play Horde on PVE server. You can still PVP via BG’s or flagging youself. The only difference is you can’t gank characters that can’t fight back.

Or… Just add queue’s to the popular factions loggin time at the character selection screen.

I’m on RP-PVP and we have an Alliance lock today. New races, classes, combos, etc. Should be reserved for patches and expansions. Not to address which faction players choose at random intervals.

Whhhhy do people keep bringing up this horrible suggestion.

Nobody in their right mind wants their ability to log into WoW directly tied to how many alliance players decide to play at any given time

It is an absolutely horrible suggestion that takes your ability to play the game out of your control

Horde is great, and i really hope that those that want to play horde eventually gets to !..

BUT… as long as horde outnumbers alliance, there have to be a faction lock… we risk otherwise to break the server permantly… and secondly and this is just as important, gold sellers loose their accounts all the time and they want to make new bot accounts, they cant at moment thanks to the lock !..

Alot of the posts on the forum is gold sellers making up “stories”

If it means keeping the balance for PvP realms it’s an obvious choice.

Create all the character you want to. It would work the same as on release when you have to wait for the density to change. People can play together. Keeping it 50/50 would mean that it would also go back and forth. I am all for this change.

Play alliance on pvp, or play horde on pve.

So let’s say you wanted to join a set raid group.

Except you can’t, because you have no control over your ability to log in and neither does anyone else in your raid…because it is all tied to the number of alliance online

Essentially, this would kill all planned end game content

Let me transfer my characters and I gladly will.

If a ~5 minute wait is going to kill your planned end game content.

You killed your ability to plan literally anything.

I know players want pvp balance, but having pvp lock before the game is even launched is BS. That’s not good way to start off a game. That’s how a game will lose players quickly.

Private sever players aren’t going to touch this game. They are going to stick with COA instead. Which is 100% better than WoWF.

Oh look, you are making up imaginary numbers.

You have absolutely no idea how large the log in queue would be. It could literally be hours

The number of horde players will be huge compared to the alliance with no restrictions. I mean it already is even with restrictions

But you have no problem limited the horde logins based on other horde? OK.

Not really. The average queue time for the launch was under 5 minutes. It would literally be under five minutes. There is absolutely no shot it would be hours. That’s hilarious.
