Reignite The Faction War

“The grapes were VERY TASTY!”

Those grapes belong to the Alliance.

I guess the supposed Shadowlands timeskip was long enough to recoup Horde numbers for Alliance to kill.

This thread confuses my apparent ‘grape’ brain.

Careful Anduin, or you will get returned to the maw. :stuck_out_tongue:

His face was that of sadness, at merely the thought of ever returning to the horrible terrible Maw of the Shadowlands.

Thou heathenest hath stolen thine HORDES GRAPESTHSS!!

I’m not sure there’s anything really left to cobble together faction tension besides the people aimed at Jania. Doesn’t mean Xal’atath can’t influence vague conflicts within the factions similar to the Twilight Hammer or Legion. :8ball::robot:

edit: Something on my mind is Cersei Dusksinger is eager to experiment on Draenei into feral weapons against the alliance. Although she’d work better independent as her horde allies hate her. :memo::robot:

There’s always a reason for man to hate another. It doesn’t have to be complicated or deep.

Yeah, let’s go ahead and make Horde the bad guys yet again. That definitely won’t cause their already diminished player-count to drop to near 0.

I mean…roughly 60% of the player base is Horde. Granted, you wouldn’t know it based on the narrative choices for the story :sweat_smile:

Can we just not? The last time they tried to ‘reignite’ the faction war all they could come up with was-

Sylvanas: “Uh, we gotta kill all the night elves because the Alliance may attack us in a hundred years or something, maybe, I dunno… just go get the gasoline, Saurfang!”

That was the flimsiest and most ridiculous reasoning to start a war I have ever heard and the fact it made it past the concept room still baffles me to this day.

There is never a bad reason for a BBQ.

Except we tried that with Tuarajo and the Horde are moaning about it to this day.

Taurajo was a viable military target. Even Baine said so and we all know Baine is a brilliant tactician. He had to sit in a corner for all of Shadowlands just to plot a 20 minute quest line in DF.

Nah that stuff is boring now. It always plays out the same over and over again. I wonder what Horde leader would be a raid boss this time? Boring.

There would have to be actors pulling the strings from the shadows and using other groups as a means to achieve their ends (like how Onyxia and Netharion disguised themselves as human nobles and used the Defias Brotherhood to cause disarray in the Kingdom of stormwind and the surrounding zones, thus weakening the alliance as a whole and allowing other threats to rise and/or go unchecked)

–or–

there would have to be fractures from within the horde and alliance that would cause breakaway splinters to form (like I feel the night elves and Gilnaeans should have done at the start of BfA) where they wouldn’t exactly be friends, but wouldnt exactly be enemies either but would kind of ebb and flow someplace between the middle.

Horde v alliance generally boils down to the horde having major characters murdered, while the alliance loses nothing, as normal.

To be honest, I have zero interest in such, I’ve been quite glad that blizzard has moved away from that, because god forbid the alliance ever suffer. Alliance characters aren’t allowed to die.
