Is TWW different for Horde and Alliance?

Yea, for sure.

BFA had the two factions, with unique stuff on each side. It made it worthwhile to level and campaign a toon on both sides, just to see it all.

SL had four factions, the four covenants. While you certainly didn’t have to take an alt through each one, that’s what I did. My main did bastion, then I ran my DK through Maldraxxus, and 2 more through Revendreth and Ardenwelde.

It was nice to have “reason” to run alts in the game.

With both DR and WW, there’s pretty much no reason to run an alt. No story reason. Sure, if you just like the class, but there’s no new content. Heck, everything is Warbound now, so you don’t even have to do an rep grind or anything to get that Plate mog piece. Just walk up and buy it.

WW is “alt friendly” by making removing the necessity for alts.

Too bad. It would be nice to see the world through a different point of view.

I wish stone vault had been a raid of corrupted dwarves and skardyn

Not at all. Blizzard expects that the Horde players pretend the great leadership of the alliance are also our heroes we need to treat as friends sth. Sadly.

Blood elves and Forsaken had the most beef with Arthas yet they were not present in the finale.

this is the funniest thing. it’s not even unlocked til you’re 80 or finish the campaign or w/e, and there’s no hearth in it, or dailies, or vendors… just some no-name npc’s sitting at tables

it’s sad

I’m sure it saves blizzard a TON of work to only write one scenario instead of two, but it is kind of a shame. Dragonflight I didn’t mind so much, it felt like a new beginning and a true joint venture between the horde and alliance. But TWW feels extremely alliance-focused, in terms of the plot relevant characters (Alleria, Khadgar, Magni/Moira/Dagran, etc). I play alliance almost exclusively, so it doesn’t negatively affect me, but it’s weird to think there isn’t anything going on, on the other side of the table.

Undermine is a goblin season. That’s about as Horde oriented as you can get.

Playing both sides and don’t see any difference. The placement of the portals is equally annoying.

I vastly prefer the Horde storylines and the aesthetics for each race. They are more varied and all have unique cultural backgrounds.

On the Alliance side, I think the Human stories are the only ones I enjoy. It’s not unique, but it’s comfortable old school fantasy nostalgia and I will always enjoy that.

The Night Elves were so tamed down in WoW compared to WC3. I couldn’t take them seriously, especially when the female NE is doing her inaction stance with the bouncing bits. Same with Gnomes, actually. They were designed for comic relief when they had the potential for so much more.

Now my opinion barely gets more interesting. Dwarves were cool until every single story focused on the bronzebeards. Moira should have become a mega evil enemy in the game, the likes of Elisonde. A high shadow priest of voidfire. Again, great potential, assuming I got any of that lore right.

Human is the only race I can play for a Priest, my favorite class this expansion. Otherwise I’d of switched my main to Horde to be with my alts a long time ago.

The Cataclysm story didn’t have a fitting end for a long time so I am really glad that we finally concluded it.

Pretty much homogenized

No.

Alliance and Horde pretty much have had the same story since Shadowlands and onwards.

DF did that, TWW so far, and all the following expansions will likely follow in that style.

BfA was the last expansion where they really leaned into both factions experiencing the zones and stuff differently, due to war campaign.

People didn’t like it, but I kinda did just because it wasn’t one singular story. Different perspectives is cool.

Is not like he just doing a cameo, the ENTIRE MAJOR PATCH is about goblins and Horde, even Zuldazar got a new area with daily quest.

Meanwhile, the entrance patch of TWW is most focused on Earthen, Arathi and Nerubians with some Alliance characters involved.

Considering all this, Horde have way more related content than Aliance in TWW.

MOP, BFA, WOD and wotlk were good expansions cuz they made the actual effort to give both factions their own introduction of the story so on. I miss those times.
