Is alliance going to have hardcore pvpers and rankers this time?

[Lexsteeletko-tichondrius]

they were very rare in classic as everyone knows alliance dont focus on pvp at least 90% dont.

will it be different? the dwarf racial and que times are tempting again but will it be a repeat?

any ally pvpers going nightfall?

@Lexsteeletko-tichondrius

any ally pvpers going nightfall?

Among the PVP servers, at least according to discord numbers (if that matters for anything), nightfall appears to be the least popular.

@Warforge-benediction

Nightfall:

Players: 1116
Alliance: 58.6%
Horde: 41.3%

Mutanus:
Players: 1424
Alliance: 54.8%
Horde: 45.1%

Interesting. Contrast that with Jom Gabbar and Barman Shanker discord numbers:

@Drewbro-faerlina

Jom Gabbar

Such a silly question. Hardcore pvpers go Horde, period. Alliance will have it’s rankers pushing hard, but thats not Hardcore PvPers.

You are going to see an exact replica of Classic when it comes to BGs. If you want to rank as alliance go alliance. If you want to rank as horde go horde.

I’m not sure. Usually people in the Pserver community go the opposite of what they did in the last F R E S H.

All the servers have ally as the dominate faction, I think there’s a chance PVP will be solid on ally.

Mostly, I’m just excited for the following threads from alliance players:

1. MAKE SAME FACTION QUEUES YOU DID IT FOR HORDE.
2. AV IS NOT HARD HORDE HAVE TO TRY HARDER STOP ZUGGING
3. BAN HORDE FROM PREMADING IN AV ITS NOT FAIR!!1

And then the threads from horde:

1. BOYCOT AV ALLIANCE HAVE THE ADVANTAGE
2. WHY CANT HORDE WIN BGS AN INDEPTH ANALYSIS

and so on.

Looks like shoes will be on the other foot for everyone this time. Just grab your

Alliance will have a ton of people pushing for rank this time. Hopefully some of you can keep up.

Yes there are going to be lots of Alliance PvPers and rankers. Many Horde players from Classic are rolling Alliance for a change of scenery and something different.

Seems like about a third of my SoM guild (and it’s a large guild) were hardcore Horde rankers / PvPers in Classic. Most of them are intending to rank and PvP in SoM, but on Alliance side this time. This is a small sample size, but yeah I think SoM is going to be a bit different than Classic.

Early on at least, there will be a lot of Alliance PVErs forced to rank at least to get the chest/shoulders. It’s BiS until AQ for a lot of classes.
