Recruiting - The Horde! 👺

@Tehya-wildhammer

gotta get them 1-2%s

Huge difference in overall gameplay.

Yeah, because it’s the 1% Versatility I’m talking about rather than the 20% stun/ snare duration reductions, Blood Fury, Berzerking, Will of the Forsaken…

@Dudflex-argent-dawn

THIS WHOLE THREAD IS ABOUT GETTING MORE PEOPLE TO PLAY HORDE IN ORDER TO BALANCE NUMBERS, CAN. YOU. READ?

First, turn your caps lock off. Typing in bold caps makes you seem like an overstimulated child. Secondly, the existence of this thread isn’t evidence of a population disparity.

Looks like I have to write in caps for you to be able to read.

It is a known fact that AD has an overwhelming imbalance of alliance to horde players.

It’s not a fact until you have proof. Until then it’s just speculation.

Have you not seen the numbers on that site ppl tend to link?

[Dudflex-argent-dawn (Dudflex)]

I would link you the site but you probably can’t read it.

How to horde:

Step one, make an orc warrior
Step two, level a lil
Step three, macro charge and /roar into one keybind
Step four, repeatedly spam this macro on targets untill the horde claims victory in the war
Step five, eat some boar and have a grog

Until then it’s just speculation.

It’s fairly silly to dismiss one of the most commonly known facts, which makes it rather obvious that you’re new to AD as a whole. The faction imbalance used to be around 60-40, but now it’s bordering on 75-25, for the Alliance.

For your 7-second Google search inconvenience.

1. Having a lot of fun with resurgent Night Elf RP

2. My Shaman doesn’t fit in ‘Sylvanas’ Horde’ whatsoever. Maybe if there’s a new Warchief (again) he’ll see the light of day again.
   2a) Blizzard can’t write morally grey, so we end up as Sunday Cartoon villains instead. Boo, boring.

3. Have a troll I’ve considered levelling, but I have a number of alts I’m working on at the same time.

4. Certain Big Name Guilds that think they can roll around as some sort of quasi-RP Police are a real buzzkill, so that actually turns me off the Horde side, not going to lie

K… Keep me posted

@Ashenbrand-argent-dawn

You can look it up pretty easily - IDK how you could have come under the impression that Horde has more people on AD. It has been the smaller faction from the start

@Chatty-argent-dawn

Was that just to expand the raising-possibilities?

She has limited Val’kyr and wanted to make more

@Chatty-argent-dawn

Also during the battle for Lordaeron she ups and casts a spell that raised all the dead - so it seems like she can do it herself. Or is that a different kind of undead?

I think those were just mindless skeletons but I believe Sylvanas raises sentient undead too sometimes (like Renee Lauer who used to hang around Brill) but IDK if that’s canon

@Chatty-argent-dawn

Sorry for the many questions but understanding the creation part itself is pretty much what’s keeping me from rolling my own bag of bones out into action.

You should make one, they are the coolest race IMO…

1. Sorry that Silvermoon is still stuck in TBC

2. No, he’s someone who survived the original Orcish Horde and was rather glad when Thrall’s Horde came along and gave them some semblance of their old life back.
   Now Horde is basically Lich King 2.0 w/ assorted outcasts tacked on.

3. I have time for one guild at the moment, so likely not.

4. Funnily enough I never got the memo about needing RP police in a city. But, of course, being unable to say anything negative about them is part of the ‘charm’ that made me go “Yeah, heck this” in the first place. Funny that

Alliance may massively outnumber Horde on AD but it seems in the grand scheme of things Horde outnumber the Alliance - why else does the Alliance have a 30% buff to War Mode (the only canonical mode and thus the only one to matter) whereas the Horde only has a 10% boost?

Honestly I would roleplay more on Horde, but I find there far too many unpleasant sorts leering around, not to mention cultish, bubble-like mentalities being very prevalent. Too much of an “Us vs Them” competitive mindset to make long term roleplay there viable imo.

Oh and to add the unfortunate state of Horde lore at the moment, not everyone wants to side with Sylvanas, or have their characters persecuted for not agreeing with her. Tends to drive people to the protagonist faction.

[Lootgrave-argent-dawn (Lootgrave)]

Wearing red kept from showing all those blood stains. Joining the Horde cut down doing my laundry by over half!

[Inetzen-argent-dawn (Inetzen)]

Hmm… Yeah, please keep your negativity alliance side. We don’t appreciate that kind of attitude, to be honest.

War mode isn’t server locked sadly

You will get that on any faction and probably any online game - people like their in-group vs out-group

I don’t know, I think that conflict makes for interesting roleplay / characters having mixed feelings about their leader has more nuance than everyone agreeing with each other re. how sweet of a guy Anduin is - though if you want to play an absolute lawful good protagonist character Alliance is probably the more traditional faction for that concept

@Inetzen-argent-dawn

Don’t agree, the Horde needs more jaded + cynical gamers
