Lore is already crap and can change for whatever reason Blizzard wants. And there has never been a better time than now when we’re all in the “afterlife” and aligning ourselves with covenants anyway.
Letting Alliance/Horde group together would go a long way toward solving player complaints about faction balance and prevent the perpetual positive feedback loop of high-end guilds faction transferring because everyone else is already Horde.
Gameplay above all. MMOs are a social game, let people play together.
(Commentary): All them fine Goblin ladies out there just love Unit Exacitor’s gold finish. Its a tragedy he currently has to literally beat them off with a stick, rather than just metaphorically.
They always say bring the player not the class yet that is not quiet true is it with restrictions that are as outdated as the devs we have making the game at this time.
For this, first the alliance must die as an unviable faction, since its existence no longer makes sense to the players, so that we see ideas like these, of impere and rebels being together in the same team, come true.
Yes please, let me group up with all those big strong orc and tauren ladies.
Seriously though, this would help the game since it’s not as popular as it once was, and dividing the player base even further just makes the problem worse.
Can keep the cities faction specific, keep the divide in place for PvP, but for PvE how many times have the Horde and Alliance come together to face a common for, it happens even in the supposed faction war based expansions at some point.
Not a fan of it. But to kind of echo Tovi, if they were to do that it should be very limited or the opposing faction cities should be hostile with the longest rep grind in gaming history. And when I say hostile I mean you so much as step on a rat in SW the wrath of Crithto comes from behind the nearest lamp post so hard as to one chomp stomp an orc into disconnection.
If they made it limited to only dungeons and raids, sure why not… I don’t even pay attention or look at other player’s appearances most of the time anyway when I’m busy fighting.
The same lore that says that the Horde destroyed our capitals, killed our citizens, and that we must therefore forgive these aggressions in the name of the greater good?
The same lore that makes the alliance have no love of their own and always be a laughing matter and ridiculous, like in Lordaeron where we forget Blight or like when Tyrande was flanked in his own backyard?
The same lore that makes our faction playdumb for the horde?
Making groups with the horde would only make the alliance irrelevant to exist as an independent group, if we depended on the horde to make raids and dungeons.
Honestly, getting to the point of making content with the opposite faction because ours doesn’t have anything else that creates charisma to have numbers or be relevant to doing something in it, it is better to kill all at once and join the horde.
The lore he’s probably talking about is the lore where my derpy racial leader is standing in the throne room of Stormwind. Or the lore where Anduin gets to walk inside Orgrimmar for a funeral.
It’s the personal choice for the individual, not the entire faction.
I am going to go with NO.
