Removing the faction barrier has not been good for the game

i would have preferred that alliance stay with alliance and horde stay with the horde

I mean, you can still do that; there’s a button on the Group Finder to restrict groups to your faction.

@Breakcog-proudmoore

At least there should be some tension in War Within if Talanji is helping with the alliance/horde expedition underground.

@Breakcog-proudmoore

…and i’m eager to see how chaotic it’ll be when she sees Anduin.

She’ll have as much bite as Tyrande did in Val’sharah after the Horde whined during the beta and Blizzard declawed her.

I agree. Times have changed.

It’s that simple.

But narratively, not for the better for both sides. Faction identity was a good thing, regardless of one’s stance on PvP or PvE, and it has been all but gutted. It’s really unfortunate. That’s what I’m highlighting.

She’ll have a couple lines and then we’ll be spending more time with Alleria…

@Kiofea-illidan

…She’ll have as much bite as Tyrande did in Val’sharah after the Horde whined during the beta and Blizzard declawed her.

I’m still hoping they don’t miss the punch opportunity. Anduin did target Rastakhan.

Anduin did target Rastakhan.

He wasn’t personally involved. I’d believe Talanji would have more hatred for Jaina and Gelbin than Anduin.

Horde players got more of it in Dragonflight, with Tyrande playing center stage and having to play waiter at her Alliance Tea Party at the end.

Seeing the “Garrosh did nothing wrong” crowd serve tea to Tyrande while suppressing their inner edgelord is reward enough for me.

It is canon Talanji blames Jania although she knows Genn fought Rastakhan.

[Kiofea-illidan]

@Breakcog-proudmoore

she knows Genn fought Rastakhan

I don’t remember that… Then again I was Horde during that time and did the Rastakhan fight like once or twice.

@Bulakzebgor-faerlina

look at all the new “friendship power” storylines

Too be fair, that’s been a thing since warth so…

That’s fine I get to have Alexstrasza serves me tea and beg me for help when I decimated her flight in her sanctum.

this for that

[Treelover-frostmourne]

Don’t let my name fool you. I want WAR! But where do we even go from here? We’ve been holding hands and flirting this entire expansion, I thought BFA would kick things off again, but it just brought us closer together.

[Latherfal-nordrassil (Latherfal)]

I think they should just make sure the faction capital cities stay seperated, for latency reasons.
There are plenty of neutral cities players can meet up in.

I know theres no I in We

In terms of gameplay, it’s good that the faction barrier has been opened. You should be able to play with your friends.

In terms of storytelling, it’s a complete disaster.

Gameplay and story should really be separated here.

[Fortuna-sentinels (Fortuna)]

Faction storylines are garbage and I’m glad they’re dead. You’re welcome to go play Diablo if this game isn’t edgy enough for you.

@Kiofea-illidan

I don’t remember that… Then again I was Horde during that time and did the Rastakhan fight like once or twice…

I was trying to check but I can’t get past the conclave. (there’s mind control)

…all I remember is Genn telling Rastakhan to surrender and commanding the group to take the king down.

@Breakcog-proudmoore

Yeah, I saw the voicelines on Wowpedia. Going to look up some footage…

EDIT: He’s not part of the fight, just helping the Alliance get to the throne room.

[Absolûtion-stormrage]

As long as they continue having alliance zones be hostile to horde and vice versa I’m happy. I have a lot of friends who play horde. It’s nice being able to que up together.

Full on mergers will be nice with guilds.

I’m fortunately adult enough to be able to play with horde as long as the game story and mechanics keeps it true to the world flavor and actually keep the factions separate while integrating co play.

Definitely do not want to see orcs roaming around Stormwind. You stay in your city I’ll stay in mine.

[Ughash-sulfuras]

I love the barrier, and class restrictions. It does add a layer of uniqueness and excitement, use to see the story from different POV.

At least we got classic tho, so I’ll never have to group with a gnome/see a dwarf in Org.

@Fortuna-sentinels

I’m glad they’re dead.

many people don’t agree with you

@Tenebrae-eredar

[Houmous-aegwynn]

Our leaders are the precursors of the cross-faction, they are practically all friends.

Neutral capitals are the future of WOW.
