I guess this is really an appeal to Bliz more than anything else.
Now that the Battle for Stromgarde has both been passed up in the timeline as well as being outdated content from a gear perspective, can we please please please get a decision on who officially won?
it would seem we did if the horde is âlosing on all frontsâ as seems to be the case based on the dialogue after the battle for dazarâalor on either side, but some confirmation would be nice.
I canât imagine why the horde would take arathi in the current circumstances, especially with undercity gone. Itâs a pretty clear alliance win in my eyes.
Itâs the same as a battleground. Nobody won. It goes on forever.
Canonically id see the Alliance winning it. Idk if Stromgarde will become some sort of capital down the line though.
Even battleground get canonical endings. Warsong gulch went to the Alliance until BfA, not it is contested again. We know Tol Barad is now abandoned by both sides.
In both of those examples, though, there is no winner. Thereâs a renewed battle and a stalemate. These things donât get resolved.
Source for warsong gulch?
I know this will be disappointing for the Alliance to hear, but the zone will remain contested as it always has been. There is no âwinningâ, thereâs just the eb and flow of battle.
Yes, even when the Horde is âlosing on all frontsâ, because both factions have this nasty habit of sending in the PC to rectify those situations.
I wouldnât mind seeing some Scenarios added to give a canon ending to the Warfronts once they become outdated. They can certainly continue in cyclical order and all, but still. Itâd be a good chance to give both sides a chance to shine as well. Thereâs no reason the Horde needs to be crushed in an Arathi defeat, or for the Alliance to claim a Pyrrhic victory.
Having the Horde put up a last ditch resistance in order to further bolster the defenses of wherever the next Eastern Kingdoms Warfront would be, seems like itâd be a strategically sound decision. Imagine the Alliance claiming victory in Arathi, marching north, and finding Andorhal or Caer Darrow an armed fortress with supplies being portalâd in by Nightborne.
Arathi is a neutral zone, so i think it should remain neutral
100% support a rebuilt Stromgaurde though. I just dont want to see the horde encampments destroyed because its one of the few encampments that is not a collection of tents.
Darkshore should go to the NE, obviously.
I think heâs talking about Wolfheart
I should hope itâs an Alliance win. I presume the Horde will win the Barrens, Silvermoon, or Azshara Warfronts if any of them make it in the game.
No I am not. And this will be a quick to respond to all of you:
Within an hour, the convoy came within sight of the old Horde fortifications at the edge of the territory. A few years ago, Morâshan Rampart had been the bulwark against the night elves pushing into the Barrens, but it had been abandoned when Garrosh Hellscream had been deposed.
There should have been night elves on those fortifications. There werenât. Instead, there were two Horde roguesâan orc and a goblinâsitting comfortably on the structure, legs dangling in the air. They waved at the convoy as it approached, prompting another flurry of chatter among the army. -A Good War
This means the Alliance had forces up to the very borders of Ashenvale.
This expansion alliance is winning hand down
Yes, but it doesnât mean they won the battleground. After all, even if the Horde did win, the territory was returned to the Night Elves. I like of the old battle grounds as small skirmishes with the area being fought over change hands many times, but never having a larger effect on the world.
