Yes congratulations, you noticed that Warlords was a wretched expansion - it sucked for everyone. At this point I’m very much in a “a pox on your houses” mood when it comes to faction brained nonsense.
Merc mode literally exists because alliance dominated BGs to the point that queues were literally interminable on ally side in WoD (mostly because of the human racial)
hard to have us throw out a solution to a decade of Bliz destroying the Horde one character assassination at a time, as if we’re responsible for them stripping Thrall of agency, turning Baine, Garrosh, and Syl into an insufferable caricatures, killing off Voljin, Saurfang, etc.
You’re right there’s not a lot of good options for Horde characters at the moment, but that is definitely not the fault of Horde players.
No, this is about you crying saying the horde was the center of attention in the game for a long time
Literally the only time horde got attention was in cataclysm - making the factions balanced - and in MOP where in the end they got screwed over for the alliance players feel good.
Whats happening in TWW and in DF for horde, never happened to the alliance, its not comparable, period.
And you got a brand new Tree in DF, with an entire patch revolved around night elves and the alliance
Because they were. You can’t just say, “Oh, they were a villain or something bad happened to that character so it doesn’t count.” Because that’s what you’re doing.
How was it not? There are literally Horde players that brag about it to this day.
Nathanos nearly killed Malfurion. Tyrande never got revenge. Sylvanas won an invasion. Not a Horde moment…but then SoO, where Horde and Alliance went in to get rid of Garrosh and make Vol’jin warchief, that’s supposedly a great Alliance moment lmao
Ngl, I just want the Alliance to be classified as the villains for a proper expac. I mean, with the whole burning the tree and the Garrosh stuff – the Alliance should be the meanie heads for a while. Let the Horde be the traditional heroes!
Speaking of engrossing faction moments, I still remember how the in-game narrative experience for the Alliance was so abysmal they actually felt the need to outright say they’d get a fist pumping moment.
Which amounted to Varian basically saying “Be good or else”, lmao.
Here we go. It was bad so it doesn’t count as Horde in the spotlight…
So I’ll just say that about Anduin in SL and so on. When Alleria goes Void, I’ll just say doesn’t count as Alliance. Or Khadgar’s neutral doesn’t count. We’re all getting along now guys, doesn’t count as Alliance. That’s what you guys sound like lol
What does the plot that followed have to do with whether or not Horde was in the spotlight at that moment, dummy? Was it a story where Horde, led by Sylvanas, invaded and destroyed Teldrassil or not? Was it a pre-launch event or not?
I would like to see more of that touted “grey and gray morality” the game was allegedly founded on. Back when the Horde were actually underdogs fighting to survive and the Alliance were bigoted and oppressive.
