Development Preview: Cross-Faction Instances

Good thing. Took them long enough

I think merc mode came in during WoD didnt it ?i can not remember now :smiley:

Great news, really looking forward to it!

The ultimate answer is to have players make their personal choice of faction, regardless of race. So still have two factions (Horde, Alliance, or other names), maybe themed around progress vs traditional, then any player can join whichever faction they like, regardless of their race.

Since the other Blue Post was closed (I think), I will repeat my comment from there:

Are there any plans to make a cross faction-RP-mode for Roleplay Servers that will allow Roleplayers to enter enemy factions cities/areas without being attacked by guards and players in exchange of not being able to attack yourself?

Yup, horde was the outnumbered faction back then when they implemented that, at least here in the EU.

aw nuts, i thought we had disposed of all the irritating kids to the horde. Now i have to play with them again??? dang it, just when the alliance side was starting to be enjoyable again

In what way does this make the game better? You better not merge the factions in the future, that would really make the game dull and uninteresting. The faction divide gives the game spice. Never thought I´d see the day when horde and alliance dissolves into a grey soup of nothingness.

The game can´t just be about convenience. You don´t rock fundamental pillars of the franchise this lightly.

For all the major problems with the game, this is the thing you focus on? How about fixing the classes, the professions, the story, the grinding etc etc? Then you might grow the game again and things like this wouldn´t be necessary to shorten que times.

This screams of short sightedness and desperation.

Don’t pretend to speak for 90% of the playerbase. Not even based on the reaction on the forums.

Yes for the love of god remove faction tagging of mobs outside of WM or put all alliance and horde in different shards. I refuse to do any wq that involves killing things because of this it puts me in such a irritating mood you have no idea and its also not good at all for my blood pressure

Ye so we are going to deny all the people having positive reaction on wowhead ,here on USA forums in game? :smiley:
as i said calm down and accept the change
cause change is GOOD

imagin if only there would be a feature to turn off “cross faction” for your party… oh wait… yeee i can not imagine how low iq you have to feel

No, the change is not friggin’ good - it’s a concession that only exists because Blizzard utterly failed at running the game. This system worked for many, many, many years. It wasn’t until 3 years ago that it broke, and it could be repaired, but instead they’re just removing the war between Orcs and Humans.

Blergh. I hope they can do hostile factions another way.

:smiley: you know what is satisfying
seeing you mald so much

“Have” to?

No, you have agency over who you play with.

Or was it just an immature kiddo digging the other faction?

and long may we cheer… because at the end of the day the imbalance is void with cross-faction anyway so …

yeah… just lol.

all one faction n such …

Instances=dungeons, raids, arena and battlegrounds. Basically anything that isn’t outdoor questing. Just read the actual post before making assumptions :wink:

Oh no, among all the things I’ve mention three are already encompassed in the term. Now my whole comment is invalid. The shame. The shame! What will I do now? My life is ruined…

For the RP community, the ability to communicate in /say and /e would be great (without having to stay stock on elixirs). I understand the current restrictions especially in war mode, but a way for Horde someday to optionally come to neutral or Alliance places and and be classed as friendly to RP with us would be great.

Thank you for listening to us :slight_smile:

Shaman Tanks please x

i want to be a belf+human mixed character who is mage and warlock in same time… so i wait for an another update
