I think itā€™s a good change! Seems like blizzard is finally doing something for the players. Let us hope they will put the same energy into to systems rework currently implemented

So you need to be on cross-faction community or have Alli friends on bnet to play with them?
If yes iā€™m ok with it cause i wonā€™t enter those communities and i donā€™t have any Alli bnet friend

45

ceasefire? how long?

46

if they keep this up 10.0 might actually be worth a shot.

One thing though, If I am to play a racist horde character, how am I supposed to discriminate between the pandas?

Like this panda looking kinda sus so letā€™s be mean to them? or would there be some kinda visual indicator.

Can we like stamp them or somthing ? this panda gud? this panda sucks?

Itā€™s very, very important.

I am pretty sure the friends thing is only for direct invites and does not affect premades.

Well actually Horde will have problems now cause in M+ all Alli dps will come to our groups. Great as pure dps we gonna have even less M+ invites

54

Sounds good, canā€™t wait for this, and when ppl start abusing it, invite someone, than infinitly times kill him outdoors to farm honor or what knot :smiley:

Cross faction will be locked until hall of fame is full, same as cross realm.

57

we get their tanks and healers too, brainboy

I think this is a good change for start, not allowing it to LFG, but not preventing players to play with their friends (IRL or otherwise) on the other faction.

59

It says guilds will remain faction specific. Since crossrealm mythic isnā€™t available early, the only remaining loophole would be that you could have opposite-faction-same-realm players in your guild raid, but I very much doubt it.

60

But they cry they DONā€™T have those. This is their problem

61

From a purely heroic guild perspective this change is huge and will allow guilds that struggle to fill spots to look cross-faction and realm wide to fill roles. However it will do nothing to change the allianceā€™s poor representation on the mythic stage if guilds are not allowed to be cross faction as well. Also if it is tied to the hall of fame to unlock which naturally you would assume it would be then it will not help with the hall of fame getting completed in due time either

What should be changed is to allow cross-faction from the start of a new tier and to allow them to use either factions players in their mythic progression. You can limit it to the same server until the hall of fame opens up cross-realm mythic at which time thereā€™s very little to be gained from preventing people playing together. You could combine the hall of fame into the top 200 guilds regardless of faction clearing the mythic raid to compensate for this change
