Is that justification for the genocide? Don’t you remember they tried to genocide Humans and also Elves? Plus all the other races who formed the initial alliance.
They brought their demon brothers to Draenor, corrupted the orcs, and they died for it
If they draenei didn’t cause such unimaginable destruction across the cosmos, the orcs woulda continued to live peacefully on Draenor and the humans probably woulda kill themselves by causing even more wars
Nobody really ever expected Lightforged to go Horde.
Problem with the Nightborne specifically is that the player -who may be Alliance or Horde- raises them up from basically nothing. If you’re an Alliance player the Nightborne literally would not exist without you, so to have them stab you in the back like that feels really crappy, especially when their reasoning for doing so was so painfully thin.
I’m sure some people are going to claim it’s because Alliance players are ‘whiny’ or whatever, but I don’t think that’s true. Like, nobody was upset about Highmountain going to the Horde. Blizz just really dropped the ball with the way they set the Nightborne, having Alliance players bond so closely with them when they intended for them to become enemies.
I remember people being angry that the night borne and HM tauran Joined the horde. I also remember people saying legion was a horde expansion cause of it…even though 50% of it was alliance based. I mean the entire last patch was light borne nonsense
But to answer your question, not really? Though there wasn’t as much of an emotional connection to the LFD as players had with the Nightborne. The LFD campaign wasn’t even really focused on them as much as it was about Turalyon and Alleria.
I mean when you destroy characters ti get the ball rolling, garish and queen screamer (cant spell syl name to save my life right now) it kinda hurts how the horde looks. Garrosh in stonepeak was very honorable and I wished they kept him that way and didnt do a complete 180 with him.
Syl cared about the undead very much in the beginning but now she has done a 180 and doesn’t care about anything .
They need to stop butchering the horde story to progress the game.
When it comes to alliance races in BFA high elves has been dominating everything else. So if there is drama about other races like allied, it gets buried pretty fast lol.
Personally I dont rember much drama around it, though thats because i probably didnt care about lightforged and would have liked the drug addicted nightbourne instead.
