For those that have done any mythic dungeons or raids with the other faction so far, how’s your experience been?
I’ve been too busy with work to log on, but hoping I can try to pug some mythics tonight and see how it goes.
Personally I’m excited to have the option to group up with the Horde. At least with my experience, it’s been difficult trying to push keys and get my io up. Before anyone says, “Find friends or a guild to run with!” trust me, I’m trying. But most of my friends have their own key groups, left the game, or do not do end game content, so I pug everything from raids to dungeons.
I’m hoping combining factions will be a good option for those of us that are forced to pug but have a hard time finding groups within our own faction.

I guess I’ll be checking the alliance only box every single time I make a group now 
Is there no way to save this setting?

Honestly servers were so bad last night I didn’t get a chance to test it out.
Looking forward to pugging some M+ this week though!
I had a shammy that used heroism
I felt unclean but timed the key
Was the ends justified by the means? Idk

just boot the unskilled alliance scum
Loving it. Alliance community has always been so much less toxic and I’m happy to play with them on my horde. And also happy it’s now easier to find groups on my allys.

We can be b.net friends and add each other to run m+ groups? I play resto druid/resto sham on both side

LFR isn’t cross-faction, so you have nothing to worry about.

I’m happy. I can play races I like with the faction I like and the people I like, and actually make progress in-game too. I was never really hurting for the option but it’s nice that it’s there, especially for the people that were hurting for it.

Aww, I would really like that!
I’m not sure what level keys you’re doing, but I’m mostly doing 17-19s right now, hoping to push higher if/when I find more friends to play with. I timed some 20s last season, it’s just finding stable people to run with (because pugging higher keys is not fun).
been terrible for me. alliance tanks pulling mobs that no one ever pulled since season 1. they sometime use very different and outdated routes. out of about 15 keys only one went well. and it was low keys too 15 16s. things i normally 3 chests i was barely making the timer. so from now on im restricting my groups to horde only.

Does /party chat or /instance chat even work for cross faction or am i the only one who had to use emotes to communicate with a 4 horde group in a m+ dungeon earlier today.
Not too surprising that an entirely separate player pool would have different customs on this stuff, especially given that it’s been the underpopulated, less competitive faction for a while. I’d bet that you’ll see that change in the coming months after the two pools mingle a bit.

Yes definitely makes me want to play alliance again although I’m afraid I’ll be rejected because of it…

Its going to take some getting used to. Thats for sure.
It’s working fine with me! Just ran with a horde in a dungeon with no communication/chat issues.

It’s a small world, isn’t it? What you doing lurking in the forums?
Also, come run some keys with me! It’s been AGES since we’ve ran anything together
So far in the pugs I did, I could not see a difference in the quality of my groups, and I did not notice any difference in what people looked like. I tend to play scrolled far out, and I just follow the square around the dungeon trying not to die while I kill things as fast as I can. Who is there doesn’t matter as long as they do their jobs.
