Ow god where is the mind bleach.
Why is it that the horde wins through sheer competence and the alliance need duex ex machina.
At this point i want the alliance to get horde writting.
Sure you get to kill andiun(good riddence) and lose lives trying to avoid destroying stormwind and we get more land and the chance to look badasses right until the siege of stormwind.
I said gameplay parity not lore,you need to learn to read or if u can do that then understand,and in the same paragrah i specificaly said not the lore and stated that the lore was butchered for both factions.
Yes, indeed it has been butchered to a degree. I think they have rather painted themselves into a corner now, from which it is hard to extract themselves. If you mean Gameplay then you care about pixels, if you mean lore you mean the actual story behind the game, they are two vastly differing things. Sadly, we are in a situation where we must pick one over the other. Personally, the Lore is more important to me, than mad numbers appearing over my characters head.
I wasn’t talking about other cities i was specificaly talking about Ogrimmar and SW as they have been main faction hubs since Cata onwards and are direct comparisons,once again reply to the point being if you please and not stuff that has no relevance. It should not take Blizz 3 expansions to fix a main faction hub whilst the other is done fully 2 exapansions earlier even if you take the excuse that they where working on other Alliance content or City’s because they were’nt. The Worgen the newest race got a tree within a tree as there race hub which since has burned down so there back to being homeless as they still can’t use Gilneas 4 expansions later. The Goblins were given a mini city and an entire zone plus prominant status in Horde questing throughtout Cata/Mop.
And Org was completetly refurbed start of Cata,then phased 3 times during the course of patches 5.1,5.3,5.4 and then redone at the end of Mop and then changes again for BFA.
And once again it’s Blizz not devoting developer resources to Alliance content or even general end game satisfaction of game resources that they “tell” us is available for the Alliance but we acn’t actually blood use or experiance. If they could phase Ogrimmar 3 times during an expansion they somehow could’nt do that 1 zone which as we know in BFA was as simple as putting a NPC in to switch the zone back or forward in time so it would’nt even be automatic for those would complain about it but by player choice.
It would be a perfect way to actually show Lore changes which they keep telling us about.
And just to add i did read the quests,i know the lore very well but telling us via a post cutscene convo in a raid and in their books and showing us in game are 2 very different things and honestly a slap in the face because it’s not like we are playing this for free whilst the Horde players have to pay.
I play both factions and the disparity gameplay wise untill Legion at least was frustratingly telling.
What are you talking about? Orgrimmar is still shown in its Cataclysm phase. At least most of it.
Half the buildings in the Main Street are still under construction.
The only difference is that they removed Orc NPS and instead used troll and Tauren guards.
But my experience of the War of Thorns/ Battle of Lordaeron directly contradicts what people tell me I should be experiencing. The Night Elves didn’t seem like they’d fought particularly hard, nor did the Horde attack seem like it could fail.
I can’t ignore that, nor can I reconcile it with what the lore says happened.
The zone was seriously under-utilised in vanilla, to the point it was little more than an arena in which to fight Azuregos, but there was an Alliance questing hub there as well as some neutral endgame stuff (Hydraxian Waterlords, Azuregos, the Hunter rare weapon quest added in one of the later patches).
Now? Horde Territory.
Maybe it is a matter of opinion, but I never remember either of them getting close enough to actually kill me let alone threaten me. That magic cage section was more of a menace to me, because the first time I ran it Talanji bugged out and refused to cast her spell so I had to use the suicide drink.
Six dudes and a kodo is hardly a full Horde raiding party. Racial leaders can wipe 40-man raids if they’re not coordinated. Not to mention the games have established how little threat the Night Elves actually pose to the Horde proper, even in their “ancestral forests”.
Blizz have a weird way of messing with both factions when it comes to mounts, I don’t know if anyone else has noticed this one…
With the Alliance it’s “You get a Horse!, You get a Horse! Everyone gets a Horse!” Its always Horses, Alliance needs more variety, that’s not fair.
With the Horde it’s “You have an iconic mount! Its so Iconic that the Alliance can have it too!” Seriously, of the racial mounts Alliance can get: Wolves, Raptors, a Kodo, a Skeletal steed, Hawkstriders. The only Horde race that the Alliance can’t get ‘their’ mount from is the Goblins (I’m talking core races here), in return Horde get an Argent Crusade Horsey, and a Ram if they’re lucky at Brewfest. Yay.
Its weird how they manage to mess with both factions in completely different ways when it comes to mounts.
I think the Night Elves need to be a third faction for that… even then they’ve got both the Horde and Alliance licked from the very get go…
Nightsabers are the bomb, I love the animation of them. There are some mounts that even though they are iconic, like Raptors for Trolls or Hawkstriders for Blood Elves, the animation is so jarring, they bounce too much, whereas Nightsabers seem so fluid and level, same as Horses and Wolves. Stupidly of me, my Kaldorei character is a Druid, so I never end up using my Nightsaber! Gah!
Also I’m going to share the misery (Or display a way in which my mind clearly is divergent from everyone elses). When you ride a Hawkstrider, look at the wings. Do they look like they are pointing backwards, or forwards, or -both at the same freakin’ time-.
You’re welcome.
Well…I mean, it kind of looks like they -do- pose a threat, I mean that is the vibe they are setting with ‘Terror of Darkshore’.
They can’t always show us everything in game. I mean if you play both sides, you will have seen the size of the ‘mighty’ Horde army depicted as invading before it rolls into Ashenvale. If it comes to it, look at how many people live in Astranaar as shown in game? That’s not even enough people to populate a quarter of the street that I live in, in a rural village. Walking across Darnassus takes less time than it would take for me to walk to my local corner shop, yet that is a City?
They simply can’t show us everything, so there has to be an element of them ‘telling’ rather than ‘showing’.
Looks like Australia is almost as incompetent as the Alliance when it comes to it’s military. But other than the Alliance, they at least can handle some good banter.
I’m not going to change my mind about these laughable chickens
btw, why Horde attacking on Darkshore Warfront from the water using fleet?
They could use Ashenvale forest, which is taken by the Horde since War of the Thorns…
If they could attack from the water, why they didn’t in the War of the Thorns?
If they have a fleet with an army, why they don’t attack on Exodar. Does hurting the feeling of Night Elves is more important than taking down another Alliance capital city?
