It was the weaker of the 3, but at least it tied into Underot and Uldir so there was some interesting things. Plus killed loas, good way to dive hone seriousness by killing gods.
The Drust stuff seems interesting though.

factionless bgs would be better than cross faction or whatever the OP called it
they could it make so nothing changes about your character and you can group with humans and orcs or whatever

Iâd rather universal mercing style, if I had to choose one or the other. Orcs and dwarves holding hands skipping together out the gates of Dun Badar would chap my hide.
I just donât think âfactionlessâ mixed bgs would work to be honest. Plenty of players on both sides still have a lot of âprideâ in their faction, so no doubt a lot of them would be upset by such a âslushing togetherâ of the factions (Bdm, etc).
Yes, thereâs merc mode, but a few Horde mercs sprinkled in here and there hardly has any impact on the Allianceâs âfaction fantasyâ. And the system does a pretty decent job of disguising Horde mercs, most of the time you wonât even know they are Hordies unless you actually take the time to tab out and armory them.

âFaction warâ and âAlliance vs Hordeâ is the heart of WoW. Messing with this foundation via âfaction mixingâ stuff is asking for trouble imo, I just donât think it would go over well with a lot of players.
âUs versus themâ permeates everything in WoW, itâs pretty much woven into the social fabric of the game.

Horde story sucks this xpac. The troll king was dumb, now heâs dead. His horrible, boring daughter has taken overâŠgreat.
O and youâre warchief is a twot, and we are probably gonna kill her soon.
" What do YOU want the Horde to be"? Give me a break. All the Alliance zones have better storylines, and Jainas part is a lot of closure for one of the oldest and most prolific characters in the WoW universe.
No cross faction bgs
No Merc mode
No more Horde favoratism

Except thereâs merc already, on top of players with characters on both factions.
Talanji is awesome. I already like her better than previous âfavorite race leadersâ, and this includes the Alliance guys (I have been Alliance too you know).
Doubt sheâll die but sheâll be âimpeached/defeatedâ. Pretty sure itâll be a cross-faction effort, in case youâve missed all the cutscenes that have essentially telegraphed it.
Sylvanas will end up becoming something else, I guarantee it. They gave her Xalatath, thereâs the whole ânone of the âdeath factionâ figures seem to know where Voljins ghost isâ, who recommended Sylvanas to Voljin anyways, Bwonsamdi mentioning his âbossâ, etc.
A new ememy NPC faction will probably appear, and sheâll join it or be the one to start it.
YeahâŠsylvanas is the worst. Talanji is just kind of predictable and boring to me.
Have you played much hordeside? In particular the Zand unlock questline? She is very endearing. Sheâs the strong female character the gameâs always needed but missed the boat with Sylv and Jaina. At least until recently with Jaina, theyâve obviously been on a PR repair crusade with that one.
The only thing that was specifically predictable with Talanji was the fact her father was just a proxy for us to meet her, and he obviously wasnât going to survive.
Reputation capped with Zand and Proudmore. You said it, she was just gifted the throne, didnât earn it. She has room for development in the future, weâll see.
Jaina just has much more depth, with her history. The ties with old theramore, her father, brother, are fantastic.
Did you do the actual questline though? Try it. You might change your mind somewhat. I was fairly indifferent to her until that moment. Itâs entirely about helping her feel she is worthy.
Shes another âtoo goodâ character. Always trying to do whats right. She somehow was born without any of the Zandalari pride.
I guess thats par for the course for WoW, but I donât like people being good/evil. We donât have to be biblical in morals with fantasy characters. Conflicted characters are much more interesting.
Thatâs still characters with the appearance of horde versus characters with the appearance of alliance.
Itâs fun for some people to pick a side and cultivate an identity as one team or the other.

Well they are driving the whole Good Horde v Bad Horde angle so it is to be expected.
Sheâs good and wants to do what is right, yet isnât as peacenik and (generally) passive as Baine is. Itâs what the Horde needs in this storyline.

Well, currently Horde and Alliance are at war, yeah? The war has to end sometime!
So, assuming that there is some kind of peace when this all ends, well, that is when I am hoping Blizzard enables cross-faction queuing. Iâm hoping the next patch ushers in a new age of cooperation between Horde and Alliance, allowing cross-faction battlegrounds, as well as, even, cross-faction guilds. Other MMOs have done this with success.

Good point. I guess she is better than Baine (which to me is like saying sheâs beter than a cockroach that betrays even its own fellow cockroaches).
The main thing I like about her is she is powerful. Her abilities while channeling the Loa is something the Horde needs to settle lore debates, especially when Jaina has nuclear bomb-frostbombs and Malfurion can just eat an army with vines.
Prior to BFA all we had was a lady who could turn into smoke, an archer, and a bunch of dudes with big axes who cry often.
Exactly, this is me 100%.
Iâm not an âRPerâ but I do like to play on RP realms because I like to have it around me. It helps with immersion, which helps me having fun.
I may not âRPâ, but I have in my mind an idea of who this character is, what she wants, etc. Itâs not just a stack of cooldowns, gear, and toolbars.
