Feels bad to play Horde

Not like the alliance are getting stories either. The diversity elves are a seperate thing 1500 years removed. The earthen have nothing to do with the alliance or horde at all.
In fact horde are the only ones that got story since we went to silvermoon with high elves and the one token human.

In a sense, that only proves the point.

It wouldā€™ve been wrong to disobey oneā€™s commanding officer. Insubordination is a crime, and therefor, evil.

That isnā€™t to say the actions, goals, and words of those two characters were not evil. Just as the Hordeā€™s actions of colonizing Kalimdor and displacing itā€™s native peoples through war and genocide were not good. By the Hordeā€™s perspective, however, what they were doing was right, because it was what they needed to do to survive.

Its very clear TWW will be continuing the story line for Anduian, Magni and Jania
also Alleria and Moria.

Not to mention Dragonflight had large storyline for Tyrande and the night elves

Truce doesnā€™t mean we have to be super friendly to each other, it means we chose to not fight but it shouldnā€™t mean weā€™re buddies and we can sing kumbayah together. There should be still some bad blood going on there.

But ok, here are examples of storylines Iā€™d wish to witness:

Why not having Tauren lead the charge, not Baine, but Jevan Grimtotem or Hamuul or some other new guy. Tauren have the whole Earthmother worship going on, Tauren couldā€™ve had a vision where theyā€™re meant to go to the depths of Azeroth, But Tauren cannot go alone like that, so they take Goblins as they have proper machinery, to dig, Gobbos can brag about their new technology and tell something about Undermine, to set the narrative ahead on what to expect in the future.
And last but not least - letā€™s have Dark Trolls plot.
Letā€™s send some seasoned Shadowhunter, it can be one of those who appeared in BfA, like the guy from Nazmir who killed plenty of blood trolls, and send him with Zekhan maybe? (I donā€™t know about him either because he also has been mishandled, on the other hand it would be good oportiunity to establish that he acts like a troll now, and he isnā€™t walking fanboy follower-type anymore).

So we could have a team of usually shafted races going on adventure, we have a new/underdeveloped faces, and unlike Alliance who are going there via crash of Dalaran, Tauren can kickstart it by doing something trivial - making it just adventure in spirit of ā€œJourney to the Center of the Earthā€. Horde really needed a cheerful, feeling good storyline and sense of exploration and your own intiative. Something truly your own. And Tauren imo deserved to truly lead a charge for a change, and get some new HD assets so we could update Thunderbluff visually as one go.

during their journey they could meet the Nerubians, and Tauren could call for Taunka for aid, we could dust off Northrend lore. Establish how tauren has been going on over the years. That is important world building.

As for void- the Horde also have their agents - Shadowmoon clan from Magā€™har orcs. They were studying the void in WoD, although they said that itā€™s destructive, but after such a long time they couldā€™ve figured out that this knowledge might be crucial in combating it, and find a way how to use it without getting corrupted.

So now we could have Shadowmoon clan and have opportiunity to give a plot for AR race.

The plot literally writes itself. The Horde doesnā€™t even have to interact with Alliance. I think it would be funny if some NPCs would say that they still hate Alliance, but becuase there is a truce ā€œbest thing we can do is pretend we cannot see themā€ and ā€œlook the other way, when something bad happens to Allianceā€.

To show that not everyone is a carebear and so eager to forgive and forget.
Constant war isnā€™t sustainable, but there shouldnā€™t be constant peace either.
There should be golden middle approached. And imo small scale conflitcs are the best.

No, Blizzard is to blame.

Stares at Thrall and Talanji.

Yeah, suuureeeā€¦

Not Horde. Hasnā€™t been Horde for a decade.

The guy literally speaking on behalf of the Orc race for the Horde council isnā€™t Horde? The mental gymnastics of the red team never cease to amaze meā€¦ No wonder your profile is hidden. Cheers.

Talanji wonā€™t be there. She was used a placeholder for Orweyna.

ā€” just shows you how thoughtless Blizzard is. They couldā€™ve used for placeholder some random NPC, but they chose to pick a racial leader and mislead people who saw early screenshots.

Beautifully done my friend. Love it

Its really not too complicated. You have a theme to an expansion. Void, Earth, Fel, death whatever. You take a horde character that is invested in that theme, and have them go on whats called a ā€œcharacter arcā€ with a rising action, a falling action and a climax.

There has been no development for Tauren, Trolls, Orcs, Goblins. Since BFA.
Only development recently (SL,DF) has really undead with Sylvannas and the Forsaken Council. Even here in this ā€œhordeā€ story, I have to help the alliance retake Gilneas. The writers cant help themselves LOL

Talanji isnā€™t going to be part of the story it doesnā€™t seem like. There was a datamine, but it turned out to be a placeholder. Thrall doesnā€™t seem like he has a lot of screen time either.

Are there some cool Alliance chatacters I donā€™t know about?

Source?

What is this horde council you speak of? Where are they in-game? When have they met? What have they done? The answer is nothing. Might as well be headcannon

The guy that hasnā€™t done anything but beat down Horde Warchiefs for a decade, run away crying, and came back to function as a mechanism for hugs and butterflies to flow between the factions?

Yeah. Heā€™s a neutral character at best that serves as nothing but an Alliance lapdog these days. The Baine of Orcs.

Escaped from slavery only to try to put the chains back on himself and his entire faction.

The Alpha had her as a placeholder model for one of those troll/night elf race leaders.

The Horde Council is nothing but background characters serving the tiny role of prompting Alliance action.

The source are two bad pictures mashed next to one another? Yeesh. Iā€™m sorry I even asked if thatā€™s the quality you have.
