Not sure why I’m here acting as therapist to Alleria and Anduin. We ain’t friends homie, don’t come to me with your problems. Tell me how many things of X you want me to kill or what quantities of Y you want me to collect but don’t tell me your life story.
The Horde PC is wildly out of place this xpac.
I never said people shouldn’t care. If they want to have more Horde representation in the game, then they’re free to ask for it the same as everyone else.
But I don’t think people are being inquisitive about it. I think they’re downright upset and feel as if Blizzard has personally affronted them, which is silly and shouldn’t be anyone’s reaction.
However, I’ll just note here that the factions don’t exist anymore. The only reason why they continue to exist in their current state is simply because Blizzard can’t render them irrelevant without rebuilding 20 years of their game.
At this point in time, Anduin’s story is the Horde’s story, as is Thrall’s story for the Alliance, whenever it may be that he comes into play. When we visit Quel’Thalas next expansion, that will be an Alliance story just as much as it is a Horde story.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Blizzard initiated some form of a mercenary mode in the next few years that allows players to play any race they want with any faction.
I haven’t struggled to find things to do in TWW, and we haven’t even hit season 1 yet. Certainly doesn’t seem like content has been cut.
I’d say WC3 nostalgia but given the garbage the game went through when they peddled WC2 nostalgia (and like Alleria, Turalyon and the literally whos like Kurdran and Danath are still burdened by the wc2 nostalgia aspect) I’d rather they be here than the Sons of Lothar.
That is a very good suggestion. I see you’re already rolling a pet class. We should group up.
No it didn’t what is this complete nonsense? All it did was force the devs to split the exact same amount of content in two because the people at Bliz decided to take a dump on Warcraft 3 dismantling the factions even though wow owes literally everything to that game.
Not surprising. alliance has always been more eager to fight the baddies, and lead the way.
They do and Blizz said in TWW interviews that they will continue to be.
They did state interest in keeping a sort of tension between them. I don’t think they just want BFA level stuff anymore. I don’t want that anymore. I don’t want my faction continuously villain-batted.
No Anduin getting his groove back is still Alliance story. Thrall is literally just a background character to that. I am sorry. I don’t care about Anduin’s journey and whether he wants to be High King of the Alliance anymore. That has nothing to do with me.
I would rather rebuild Undercity, have Vol’jin’s story completed after a four year pause, have Thrall’s actual story from his short story told in game, anything else.
That’s great. I’m really happy for you.
It really did. They were two separate questlines lol.
I don’t think they were forced to do anything. They came up with the faction divide.
From a lot of the description of the next expansion Midnight, I would expect more Horde characters leading the charge then.
Gazlowe has had a bit of a role throughout this expansion so far as well, and Lilian. They feel like side characters more so than leaders somehow?
Yes, because they can’t just remove them from the game. That would be impossible without redesigning it from the ground up.
Haven’t seen it yet, so color me unconvinced lol
Tbf, Maria Hamilton did not seem tortured by the idea of building tensions again. It came off as already planned story. I think DF just fooled a lot of people and was just a beach episode. Then we get to TWW and Turalyon is already aggro with us.
Turalyon has dialog that already talks about tensions building again. It’s in his quest text.
Turalyon can be angsty all he wants.
The War Within was revealed and opened literally with the de facto Horde leader stating “I trust you” to the de facto Alliance leader, and the Alliance leader telling him in return “of course I’ll stand with you.”
That seems pretty cut and dry that the Alliance and Horde faction narratives are effectively over.
We’ll see what happens, but I think with him now being the Regent of the Alliance, he knows something the player character doesn’t know just yet.
Turalyon is super duper racist.
If tension rise again it will be his doing I’m betting 
I feel when I quest and run into him, he is angry we are working together.
He does seem aggro for no reason. It’s like ok dude, I’m just here to issue some troops weapons.
It’s so weird how I as a Forsaken (a race which the living reviles) have been given quests where I have to play with human orphans.
That’s not play, that’s bull 
. Floor is lava my butt, been adventuring for 20 years now wearing full suit of armor and you want me jumping from fence post to fence post without spraining a knee.
guy is literally calling horde “savages” openly
like when garrosh was around and thrall took him everywere.
thrall would dad all over him all the time because every time garrosh opened his mount it was to call humans something akin to monkeys or pigs or cowards and thrall would constantly throw dirty looks at him.
but old man turalyon doing the same and the alliance npcs laughing as his antics like hes an infant or something.
Geya’rah calls you an Alliance lackey there to polish Turalyon’s armor, but pop off with your ignorance lmao.
Not just that but Ion was still pushing the “cross faction is never happening” line not long before they started doing cross faction. If anyone at bliz still clings to the factions as the narrative prison they’ve been it’s certainly him given that he still pretends The War can happen again without killing the game for good.
Turalyon’s going to be wandering around Silvermoon repeating “the peace is fragile” like some senile obsession while Arator tries to keep him from embarassing him too much in front of elven friends.
