Horde vs. Alliance emissary caches

Community General Discussion
1

Today is a good example…Horse side get a weapons cache, up to IL 370 while alliance get 200 resources.

I play both factions equally this xpac and the Horde side is getting Incursion loot typically in the form of a Gear Cache (up to 370) where Alliance have been getting (as of late) azerite gear caches. so lets see here…
azerite caches are JUST 3 pc’s where the gear caches are every slot other than ring/trinket. Not sure how this is even close to fair?!?! Wasn’t there a stink at the launch of the Araith WF regarding Horde getting first crack at the 370 loot? Or is the game far enough along that the Horde potentially outpacing Alliance for gear via emissaries and caches not an issue?

My point is, for years Blizz CS preached player fairness…i’m not seeing that right now.

Haven’t you gotten a 370 gear cache 3 weeks in a row on alliance?

Sounds like horde bias yep

The day the alliance quit whining non stop on GD is the day Blizzard pulls the plug on this game for good.

Alliance for 3 weeks have had 370+ Gear handed to them for zerg killing flight path people while in warmode.

You’ll get your cache eventually. Calm down.

why cant the emissaries/rewards be the same for both sides? is that really asking too much? not everybody gets to play every single day and get a chance at incursions…so because somebody has a RL and misses a few days here and there notices that every time he logs in he gets resources where the opposite faction is getting gear…seems a bit discouraging to me (and sure, bad luck). i dont care, i play a lot so sure there is a balance…thats not what i am talking about with this thread…why cant it be as simple as apples/apples one day and oranges/oranges the next day?

Sure, give us 30% war mode bonus too, then everything can be equal.

I don’t play warmode and i feel for the horde, giving alliance a 30% buff to “get them to play” seems pretty darn unfair as well…and as a result…you get conditions such as you just stated. hate the game not the player…

sigh People like you need to stop.

M0s will start dropping 370s on January 22, as 370s will become the new LFR/M0 level gear. Stop with this “Welfare” crap.

All this is doing is giving people playing now, the “downtime” between season 1 and season 2, a headstart as a reward for playing during said downtime.

You really should do research before complaining about Alliance complaints. The OP is entirely wrong in their complaints, but you are not making things better at all with your comments.

15

how is it wrong to simply ask that incursion and emissary rewards be the same for both factions?

16

Why does it matter that horde gets x item today and alliance gets x item in two days? Do you get the same gear at the same time as every player? No, you farm then wait for lockouts and farm again. Not everything has to be identical 100% of the time across all players and all factions. Tgeyre not getting an unfair advantage so put on uour big girl panties and play the game.

Because Alliance have had many, MANY more Weapon Emissaries than Horde have since launch.

Yes, the smart thing to do would simply have both factions have the same rewards. However, until then, complaining that the Horde get a weapon emissary when the Alliance have had way more of them is really not going to work in your favor.

It’s giving Alliance a reward as a headstart before Season 2. I’m making a point imbalances go both ways, I’m not actually complaining about not getting a 370 item once a week, 370 gear is worthless to me.

19

I play the game plenty…i want apples/apples one day and oranges/oranges the next and ect…i’d like to advance both factions at the same pace and feel the same doing it. is that asking too much?

The 370 piece from the weekly pvp quest is literally the same gear you get from the incursions.

There’s no headstart from that if you actually participate in incursions. My Horde, which I rarely play, is just as geared as my main is now because of incursions and emissaries.

If you don’t believe me. Only 2 ilvl difference. My main has 8/8 Normal and 4/8 Heroic experience and plenty of M+. My Horde only has 1 week of LFR and no M+, and only like 4 M0s.

Hell, my Horde has better gear in her bags I won’t equip because it has worse Azerite Traits or sims worse (trinket wise, etc.). Same with my main. I think overall, they’re the same ilvl. (372)
