Alliance gets FREE ilvl 400 weekly!? What the!?

[Varb-twisting-nether (Varb)]

The hilarious thing is that despite over rewarding alliance players the horde are still superior. They have a clear disadvantage now but you’ll never compete

[Ðiesël-proudmoore (Ðiesël)]

This is a joke lol, has to be right??

How much longer does blizzard need to hold the alliances hand

Horde has an active emmissary that scaled up with the patch. Alliance doesn’t. So Horde gets extra loot first.

[Hermajesty-illidan (Hermajesty)]

yea that how our clever designer think about balancing the numbers.
And they don’t know to balance the world PVP shards.

[Aidi-frostmourne]

I know twitch makes it seem like they’re important, but the vast majority of the Horde are not Method.

[Woodhaus-arthas (Woodhaus)]

Sorry Blizzard, still not enough for me to turn on warmode.

Now if I can get a new transmog or currency to buy older PvP transmogs you might just get me to turn it on long enough to finish the quest before turning it off for the week.

This is why blizzard is missing the mark. The alliance faction is generally not interested in raiding or competetive PVP combat, they are interested in collecting transmogs, pets, and ERP. They need bonuses to these activities in warmode to balance things out.

Struck a nerve here. Hit a little too close to home? Been horde since launch bud.

[Matcauthon-steamwheedle-cartel (Matcauthon)]

55% of the player base is horde.
89% of the guilds that have cleared mythic Uldir are horde.
70% of the players with high end progression in M+, Raiding, or PvP are horde.

that seems like lots of advantages for horde to me.

Those aren’t advantages the game gave them. Those are advantages born out of player decisions that are not up to Blizzard or influenced by Blizzard. Your implication is these are unfair advantages, none of the things you just whined about are.

so blizzard couldn’t have fixed racials so they weren’t imbalanced in horde favor ages ago to prevent the mass exodus of top end alliance guilds and pvpers to horde side because tehy had a distinct advantage?

dang. sounds like an advantage to me that blizzard could have fixed. that blizzard hasn’t fixed, and could have been fixed, and would have left stuff balanced.

[Krothare-stormrage (Krothare)]

So when Blizzard made sure that Troll’s Beastslayer racial worked on half the bosses in ToT, that was the communities fault?

[Matcauthon-steamwheedle-cartel (Matcauthon)]

so having the majority of the best players in the world is not an advantage?
hmm.
so for example - 4 on 4 with me and 3 of my friends against team secret in age of empires 2 would not be an advantage for team secret?

Being “good” is subjective and in flux, it’s not static.

when almost 90% of the guilds in the world that have cleared Mythic Uldir are all from one faction, something would tell me that something is drawing top guilds to that faction.

sounds like an advantage to me.

are you kidding me? the horde has the best racials in the game in both pvp and pve.

You need some kind of psycho-therapy. You have serious jealously and envy problems. It’s kind of sad actually.

Nope, I remember you. A Human Paladin named Arnold. You cried about Horde bias and advantage, then poof… you were gone and resurfaced as the…thing… you are now.

[Kandrysseda-nagrand]

it doesn’t get people to turn WM on permanently though - only to group up, kill 25 horde and then switch it off again!

Maybe rather than something drawing them to horde, something in the alliance is pushing them away, like the alliance playerbase for example.

[Kiaryel-terenas]

All part of the plan. They want guilds to buy that faction transfer.

Uhm…why would this cause guilds to faction transfer? The running contention forever has been hat horde racials are to strong of an advantage. This 1 extra piece of gear per week is supposed to make up for that?

Seems…unlikely. Unless the feedback on horde racials was just whining all along.

[Laeth-hakkar]

So like 20 people?

I don’t mean that as a dig against Alliance, it’s just all this talk about “top end” players switching for racials of all things (the abilities not the physical appearance even) is just silly, and a bit sad.

[Matcauthon-steamwheedle-cartel (Matcauthon)]

I know twitch makes it seem like they’re important, but the vast majority of the Horde are not Method.

and yet a bunch of previously alliance guilds have followed there example.
or did you think that magically the mass majority of top guilds and players all just magically selected horde?
that somehow when flipping a coin the top end players all just magically landed on horde?

[Nexsa-turalyon (Nexsa)]

Ah well. Still won’t help them kill anybody unless they are in a giant group.

[Karmotic-sargeras]

I suppose we just look past the previous warfronts and who got those loot rewards first?

[Vephar-area-52]

@Saralocks-thrall

I swear it said that Alliance would be getting 385 gear for the remainder of there time before it goes upto 400.

@Watcher

• The power of all enemies in the Darkshore Warfront will also go up by roughly 15%, and the item level required to queue for Darkshore will go up from 320 to 335.
• Special note: The two Darkshore changes will only take effect after the current Warfront cycle has ended. So if Alliance is attacking Darkshore in a given region when Season 2 begins, and has 3 days left in that attack cycle, that Darkshore will still give Season 1 rewards.
• This is being done to avoid any unfairness to people who had already completed the Warfront or done the world boss just prior to the season rollover.

Unless I am mistaking.

It’s currently like that for the horde not alliance. Once it opens for the alliance this week they will get the increased ilvl gear.
