Theoretically, we might reach a point where only diehard Alliance fans remain on the Alliance faction.
Iâm actually kinda impressed that the Classic devs are willing to make such a drastic change in order to improve gameplay (for Horde players).
When we had bg queue time issues on Retail, their solutions were wait-and-see-if-itâll-fix-itself, hereâs mercenary mode, and maybe pay for a faction change? MehâŠ
Blizzard can claim thereâs still a tiny bit of RP.
A 4 day test wonât impact alliance. Thereâs nothing for us to leave feedback on, but if/when it is actually implemented, alliance will feel the impact given time. It will be too late then.
It doesnât impact our game play over the test period. Players who feel betrayed or disappointed that Blizzard even considered this option have already left their feedback, as youâve already quoted.
How so? Like itâs just an additional thing that will wear over time on alliance populations. It will just continue the slow bleed of people to horde for people to play with. 4 days ainât going to show jack.
On a more serious note, if this does become a part of tbcc, Iâll likely follow Squeek out the door. They will have ruined tbcc for me. I stuck around to watch alliance die a slow death once. I donât want to watch it a second time.
I understand. That is important feedback if this change will cause you to stop enjoying/playing the game. Everyone is so focused on the Horde players. We should also bring up how this change is affecting Alliance players.
Oh wow, they are actually reading the feedback and moderating the thread in real-time
I refreshed the page and it went from â34â replies to â27â replies, so you can tell there is a real human being keeping an eye on it.
Theyâre not messing around, probably a response to all the threats from Alliance posters that said they would âfloodâ or âstormâ the thread in protest.
EDIT: accusations of âtheyâve gone full Soviet Unionâ starting to fly, apparently theyâre deleting any posts that are criticism of the change - while leaving up posts praising the change
EDIT 2: thread just went from 43 replies to 40 replies, they deleting criticism fast
There no way they can give this out for 4 days and take it away. They may shut it down temporarily to fix things like /yell being readable on both sides, but this is here to stay.
They are only going to take it away for a time, itâs as good as good as a done deal in regards to it being a permanent thing. Horde are loving it. That will outweigh the other considerations.
Tsataga is right, it will only go away for a brief time needed to fix some of the technical issues. That is, unless they can hotfix it. I donât believe it will go away even temporarily if said fixes are easy enough.
