Hate it. When Blizzard is out of ideas they bring out the old “HvA” war. It’s been beaten to death.

I don’t like it.
I’d rather have a boss on the box and know that we had a big bad to kill.

  • Love it.
  • Nope, not a fan of pvp.
  • I’ve played the crap out of it since launch. Frankly it’s annoying sometimes. I’ve got things to do!
  • I play both factions. I love them both. Don’t like Sylvanas as warchief, so I love where that seems to be going. I’m stoked to see the night elves getting cool again.
  • I’m in no rush for it to end, but I am excited to see how it concludes.
  • Not a new race, but a new race/class combo. I love the upcoming night elf warfront armor and decided to level a nelf warrior.

Eh. Overall I am enjoying this expansion, but it doesn’t strike me as more war than usual.

Would love to know where all the replacement parts are coming from. The Horde and Alliance have lost so many troops over the years their towns and villages should be ghost towns.

This is pretty much how I feel. Kinda funny to see someone who really is inline with my views on WoW :slight_smile:

Truthfully I’m not seeing much faction war here. I’m running all over Kul Tiras on my Horde with no opposition, I’m running all over Zandalar on my Ally with no opposition. It is no different than it was before, avoid guards and you’re good. The only ones “at war” are the NPCs with each other.

What war? As horde I can run around Kul’tiras like we own the place.

Meh. I just do the things the NPCs tell me to to get loot.

The faction war was played out like 4 expansions ago. Now it’s just forced to the point of ridiculousness.

Yes.

Always want to. So it doesn’t matter much in that regard.

Sorta. I enjoy the narrative.

Nah, I play both sides.

I prefer it over “cosmos ending, all consuming threat #39”.

Yes, actually. The Allied Races for heritage armor, but I now have high level orcs, and tauren.

I hate it. I hated it when I first heard about it because in my heart I’ll always be an alliance player, but I was actually playing horde at the time since that’s where I met some of my friends.

It doesn’t really make me want to Pvp any more than I already did (I don’t do warmode much), maybe less since I switched back to alliance and well… we all know how much it can suck sometimes to be alliance in BGs.

It makes me NOT want to play the game. Finding people to fill the gaps on my faction is frustrating, but I can’t jump ship because I actually do believe It Matters and there’s no way in hell I am doing the roadkill queens bidding after teldrassil and all of the other stuff she has done.

So yeah, I love my faction but I miss having the access to players with the same goals and attitudes as me.

If it ended after Tuesday I would be so relieved.

feel it could’ve maybe been approached better, there’s not a whole lot of war going on currently, and in 8.2 we’ll be going back to fighting corruptive evil beings

It’s annoying - which in part is due to the lack of better writing. I also feel that I’m stuck in some creepy super-fan’s personal “Twilight/50 Shades” fantasy involving Sylvanas. That’s not a good place to feel like you’re stuck.

There are parts of this expac I’m enjoying but it feels very meh at best.

I actually forgot there even was a faction war. Just been sitting in boralus thinking about what to do.

I think it’s alright but still required more attention for this concept. Even Vol’jin deserved a spiritual conclusion with his fallen family or Rastakhan deserved to encounter Anduin for the raid.

The faction conflict is good but so many parts of the story are just garbage. You don’t have to make the Horde out to be villains and the Alliance the good guys to have a justification for being at each other’s throats.

The story just makes me hate Sylvanas, which is unfortunate because I was a fanboy.

No plans to play a different race.

I personally hate it. Hoping we’ll move on from what I see as nonsense soon.

Hate it. Have always hated it. Can’t wait for it to be over. Honestly think it’s basically destroyed the game going forward for me, there’s not enough to salvage going forward (unless they retcon away half the BS they did).

It has gotten me very invested in the faction war. I never much cared for Alliance versus Devs before, but it’s a very important struggle now.

From a tactical level, I am sure most Horde LOVE the PvP aspect.

From a strategic and story standpoint, this expansion makes NO sense. Worse than Legion and I didn’t think that was possible.

I don’t like we’re being painted as the villian (again) and I’m convinced that morally grey means something else in California.
