We need an Evil Faction

pretty much this.

Well we are all murder hobos anyway. The game pretty much has us do that with quests. Go kill this, take out itā€™s eyes/liver/heart/etc. Go kill these kids, donā€™t question it. The little bastards had it coming. Go set fire to this camp of fox people. The only covering up is really that many donā€™t read quest text and think they are the heroes of the game.

Yes thatā€™s my point. For me WoW is the better game but whatā€™s a better game for me wonā€™t be a better game for the next person.

There are lots of them out there.

For you and others like you?

Quite literally any multiplayer game that I donā€™t play and have no interest in playing. For singleplayer games you can pick whatever crazy edgelord simulator youā€™d like, but for multiplayer games a requirement is that if I am playing them - you arenā€™t supposed to be there.

Far too annoying with yaā€™llā€™s weird fantasy of calling everyone ā€œsoftā€ and ā€œnot enough shirtless orcs screaming and gruntingā€; mind you if you are into that, all the more power to you. Just not in public, leave that for your bedrooms.

The Horde were the bad guys? What about Jainaā€™s Dalarar Purge and her boy friend Arthas plowing through Quelā€™Thalas killing everyone in sight?

Weā€™ve spent the better part of 20 years at war with each other. A few years of peace isnā€™t going to kill anyone.

Yes.

Bad things done by individuals?..
Arthas was under a mind altering effect at the time by the way. If I remember right that is.
Yes, the alliance has done bad thingsā€¦ but, as a faction, they arenā€™t the ā€™ bad boys '.

Not at the moment, true.

An evil faction comprised of the ā€œloose endsā€ from undead, demons and old god minions could be neat.

I donā€™t have a problem with factions getting along, I have a problem with how hamfisted a QoL change was forced into the lore.

BfA lasted around 1 year in lore, while Shadowlands lasted 2 years, and then a 3 year time skip in game between Shadowlands and the start of Dragonflight. 5-6 short years have passed since Teldrassil was burned to the ground in the story/lore. It would take generations to mend that kind of war crime.

The writers for WoW were put in an impossible scenario to write this QoL change into the game. I personally think they should have ignored cross faction play in the story and kept the factions at war but it is what it is now. Itā€™ll never get walked back and if it does, itā€™ll be as flimsy as the hand holding Emerald Dream quests.

Bro, i NEED that. I wanna see Anduin doing something badass again for once, and if him going evil accomplishes that, and BY GOD, LET 'ER RIP. :fist:

Ya mean like the good faction too?.. :thinking:

I mean, Good side usually excuses a lot of things, likeā€¦ geneciding an entire animal population in this game. Or guards/enemies that donā€™t even pose a threat to you.

I know youā€™re talking to her butā€¦

Iā€™l throw my hat in the ring of suggestions here as a side game to have. Check the Postal games. Mainly 2 or 4.

Yeah and have players that join it - just always be flagged for PVP in the world, on PVP realms.

This looks somewhat subjective. You could say that some of the worst things the Horde did were due to individuals like Garrosh Hellscream.

Looking from the Blood Elf and Undead the Horde were not the bad guys.

The ironyā€¦

MoP and the bombing of Theramore + Jaina going crazy and killing blood elves in Dalaran happened in lore only 9-10 years ago. The Burning of Teldrassil happened only 5-6 years ago in lore.

Imagine someone bombs your home or burns your house to the ground and kills your friends and/or family. Would you ever sit in the same room as them or work side by side with them? Would you forgive them? Would you trust them?

It is actually such a baffling thing to write into the game and people are justified in not agreeing with the lore implications of a QoL change making it into the story. They would have needed a 50 year time skip to make any of this even remotely logical.

And you canā€™t seem to grasp that ā€œgenerational hateā€ decreases as the generations die off. lmao.
