Development Preview: Cross-Faction Instances

Says you don’t have to do it if you don’t want to .

How dare you choose to have fun in a way that man doesn’t approve of! Shame on you, sir!

Ok I’m sorry not sorry

Correct.

Perhaps down the road?

THere are guilds that have both Horde and Alliance guilds and are set up to do stuff on both . Usually a lot is done via Discord and the post did include

r if you are members of a cross-faction WoW Community.

THey could set up runs for those that play mostly one faction over the other to play together

Cross-faction guilds are definitely coming, give it time. The devs are rolling this out slowly and it’ll take a lot more coding overhauls to get cross-faction guilds working.

I pvp. Factions are a straight-up afterthought for anyone doing rated pvp, both in and out of character. You fight whoever is queueing, whatever their faction.

World pvp is fine for the people that opt in, just like war mode now. PvP is absolutely no obstacle to cross-faction play.

So good!

I think blizzard is making more work for themselves in all the wrong places. Why is there a need for any segregation? Please allow all faction to be at peace with each other and play together as one large faction.

The story is already heading in that direction it would make for a nice story to lead into a peace treaty and for horde and alliance to work together.

Now that being said this is a war game and pvp is a huge aspect. What if you spent your time creating a new pvp system to work with having one faction. Some thing like a guild vs guild but on a larger scale. Maybe make 3 large pvp war factions that any player can opt into and compete in large scale 24/7 world combat that at the end of a season concludes and players can earn rewards for their efforts.

I believe something like this could help with players having more access to pve content and hopefully exiting new pvp content.

I would absolutely love to see Cross-faction open world for people who opt-out of PvP, that would be nice.

One thought I had, if you’re doing cross faction m+, according to how I’m reading it, you won’t be able to summon cross faction people? Because the stone is in the open world right. Kinda a small annoying thing but just thinking that like you can’t summon the last 2 people because they’re cross faction.

Outside of 2 bad attempts to continue a faction war that really ended with WC2 in the forms of MoP and BfA there really hasn’t been a point to the Blue vs Red because both factions have been at war with the same enemies since WoW launched .

World of Warcraft doesn’t mean just Horde vs Alliance . It means the inhabitants of Azeroth (both Horde and Alliance ) at war with what ever threatens their world.

This single quote has the potential to completely restore my confidence in World of Warcraft as a game should you keep it in focus. Why shouldn’t players be able to make the choices that matter to them? What race we play, what faction we are in, what guild we are in and who we play with are all separate and unique choices that matter (to me at least) as a player. No single one of these choices should be bound to another. Just like in the real world, I want to choose who I associate with. I don’t want to be segregated into playing any part of the game with only people who share my racial or faction preferences. I don’t think anyone does.

I think once they code the grouping and trading across factions, it should be pretty easy to modify the guild code too.

As long as they are on your BNEt of a cross faction wow community . Don’t know why they said Real-id I thought that idea got trashed.

This post deserves a standing ovation!

If not cross faction open world then remove the faction tagging and limit on how many from the same faction can tag something .

YOu shoot it you loot it

I imagine they’ll do this by making the group leader be the ‘faction’ that gets decided in a future patch.
