The awful treatment of the Horde over the years

Trust me.

Maybe you should go back to taking a break. Seems like you are in another episode

[Oldmangeorge-emeriss (Oldmangeorge)]

you mention wc 2 but you forget that in wc 1 the orcs destroyed stormwind canonicly. And in wc 3 they werent the big evil from hell anymore with green jesus. And since wc3 the horde basicly gets forgiven for every genocide in the past and future

@Goldray-blackhand

i didnt even read that but

and this is why I find it stupid when bliz makes novels when half of the player base wants lore content in the game.

[Erevien-die-aldor (Erevien)]

I actually put effort here this time. Be glad the OP isn’t even longer.

[Erevien-die-aldor (Erevien)]

Why? This isn’t a rant. This is a summary of all the Horde lore and the problems Blizzard did by beating a dead Horse.

@Futri-silvermoon

Literally 90% of the playerbase plays horde what else do you want. Just delete alliance as a whole or what?

No, just having our fair share of screentime in the story that is all.

While i agree that villain-batting the Horde is a bad idea (Half the Horde players didn’t want to be part of the evil things they did, and none of them wanted the consequences), don’t blame it on screentime, we’ve been following the saga of Sadfang for years (“Okay, Teldrassil is burned, but look at Saurfang being sad! Poor honourable Horde!”), and Sylvanas for even longer, the thing the Horde is lacking is not screentime, it’s connection to the current storyline (Or indeed connection to anything other than fighting the Alliance)

For TWW, Thrall is the only Horde character with a major role in the release patch, that’s a problem.

[Faefu-argent-dawn]

each side should have a heavy lore scenes tbh.

In Warcraft 3 you play a faction and get the lore of that faction.

In BfA a horde character received multiple cinematics (the nice fancy ones, not the ingame ones) while the alliance received zero. So… Was that fair?

It will balance itself out in the long run.

This is looking at individual chess pieces, while there’s a game going on and you should actually be looking at the whole tournament; not a single piece or even a single match. And keep in mind: The tournament is still going!

The current main cast for TWW is:

Khadgar
Alleria
Anduin
Magni
Jaina
Dagram
Brann
Moira

and lone Orc Thrall.

If you don’t see why it feels bad as Horde players to followe alliance heroes around all the time I got nothing to say to you.

No Jaina had cinematics too.

[Heatwave-chaos-bolt]

Never heard so much bullsh1t

[Tah-earthen-ring]

@Erevien-die-aldor

No Jaina had cinematics too.

Those were regular raid and storyline cinematics and such.
No alliance character got specialized cinematics such as Saurfang did.

[Erevien-die-aldor (Erevien)]

Saurfang is dead. You can be happy again.

[Tah-earthen-ring]

@Erevien-die-aldor

Saurfang is dead.

So are many other characters. And?

@Erevien-die-aldor

You can be happy again.

Have you not been reading my earlier posts:

@Tah-earthen-ring

@Thazar-laughing-skull

really liked the dude.

So did I. But think of it; that’s why it was all the more impactful.
The death of a no-name nobody would not have had the same effect.

@Thazar-laughing-skull

Sure it served a purpose, i just didnt like the purpose.

Yeah, that’s fair.

@Tah-earthen-ring

Was he a cool character? Yes.
Was it sad to see him go? Yeah!
But it served a purpose, like it or not.

[Erevien-die-aldor (Erevien)]

@Tah-earthen-ring

Not the alliance heroes. that is why 90% of them are our guide for TWW while the token Horde character we meet is just Thrall. You need to acknowledge that bias.

What can I say… We ‘blue team’ are just better at not dying, I guess?

Also, as I said earlier:

9 alliance characters vs 1 Horde character. It is impossible to balance that.

[Tah-earthen-ring]

@Erevien-die-aldor

Right, sure.
I stand corrected.

It is impossible to balance. You know everything, including the future.

Goodbye Erevien. I’m not going let you blemish this evening of celebration.
I’m going to be playing TWW in a few hours!
