I think it’s more a case of: It would be quite strange if we suddenly abandoned any on-going storylines or themes for a set of new characters. That would make the saga as a whole feel very disjointed and haphazard.
At this point in time it’s too late for a shift, I think. The saga is set, the characters are in place. The best we can hope for is having two-sided campaigns again after the World Soul Saga.
No they aren’t. They are alliance bootlickers.
That’s fair but there are small details they could still adjust. What was the point of introducing Raventusk Tribe Trolls that had no prior encounters with Horde, despite the tribe we know in Hinterlands being allied to the Horde. They could have removed it and instead doubled down with the explanation that Thorntusk (Name shared by both the Elder of the Raventusk Village in Hinterlands and now New Raventusk in Amani Zone) is just a title/rank.
It just feels weird and odd to have the Blood Elves sit in the background while Turalyon has his fanatical Light worshiper shift (ignoring the fact that both Blood Elves and Draenei are currently Races with a strong Light connections) and have Umbric of all things be a central figure in Freaking Eversong. And worst my Paladin will not even be allowed to react to that. Granted my personal RP for my character is that of someone not interested in the faction conflict but also not easily letting the grudges go. Like it will be hard to feel at home when the guy who got banished for pursuing the research associated with the Race’s greatest Traitor will be central during that initial revisit.
They can always change. Nothing is set. But it seems the whole dev team mains alliance these days.
Oh sure. And I will admit that I haven’t looked into any of the story details; I try to remain fairly spoiler free; wanting to experience it for myself when I first play the expansion.
The thing is: I like both factions (in general - I don’t like everything about each faction). So I don’t care what set of characters are the main characters of the story. I don’t care if I’m following an alliance or horde character; we are not at war, there is cooperation at this moment in time. To me the lines are blurred.
For any player who doesn’t acknowledge those things; they’re not going to have fun.
But honestly… That’s at least partially their own fault.
If someone is so stuck in their old ways that they feel they must ‘hate each and every alliance character no matter what’, then sorry… You’re doing this to yourself.
I still think they should do seperate campaigns though; don’t get me wrong.
Of course you do. You don’t have to worry because the whole story war carried by alliance heroes for 9 years now. Some of whom told us to the face how much they hate the Horde at several chances.
No, I don’t. I literally just said that.
Don’t speak for me. Because you tend to say stupid things. Thanks.
The Horde player is constantly told how much they suck. by the heroes. Without the ability to snark back in the same manner. You ignoring this won’t change it. Being a horde main feels like a second class subscriber these days.
Nonsense. That’s a lie.
Not a lie. Also the American forums are already ahead of your ignorance.
I’m not reading a whole thread that I don’t care about.
Show me PROOF of your ridiculous claim: “The Horde player is constantly told how much they suck. by the heroes.”
You can’t, because it doesn’t happen.
I’ve already acknowledged several things:
But that’s it. I will not indulge any of your other made up nonsense.
Vereesa does it too in the midnight prelude not just no name NPCs.
I asked for PROOF.
You saying something is NOT proof.
Because you lie. All the time.

Unlike you I know my sources.
I don’t have much hatred for either faction. It just feels weird to have little to no representation and diversity when it comes to who holds the role of the story. It’s not helped that the Alliance Characters are given more and more development and connection to the cosmic Forces. Ever since their Introduction Turalyon and Alleria are the de facto representatives and Authorities for Light and Void. Who do we have on Horde Side? Apparently no one. Paladin orders of Taurens and Blood Elves apparently don’t count for Light nor does the entire Religion Forsaken formed around the Shadow Magic.
I’ve said it a couple of times but it was painfully anticlimactic to accompany Anduin during Hallowfall section of the Story and being forced to play his “I am not as perfect as I hoped to be therefore Light abbandoned me” straight as a Blood Elf Paladin. The group that started using Light by draining it forcibly and yet never really abbandoned by it.

If you’re trying to share that same post you shared yesterday; that doesn’t prove anything.
They are NOT heroes. They are unnamed nobody NPCs.
They are also not ‘constantly telling the horde they suck’.
Stop with your incessant hyperbolic whining and lies.
I can’t share links anymore for some reason
But basically it says Vereesa remembers what the Horde PC did in pandaria which is quite hypocritical of her considering that she effectively shames us for trying to save as many Sunreavers as possible. You ignoring all this stuff won’t make it less real.
It’s common psychology.
Humans tend to relate better with human(esque) characters than with ‘monster’ characters. I simply think that’s the reason they went with the main cast they went with.
And then there’s some characters who have to be part of it, because they’re plot devices.
And why do there have to be? It doesn’t all need to be neatly balanced.
These characters go way back in lore; so their involvement makes all the sense. They represent both these primal forces and have a complicated relationship because of that. It writes itself.
Having horde equivalents of those themes, wouldn’t add anything. It would just be copying the same stuff, but with a slightly different flavour. What’s the use in that?
I would much rather see them explore other primal forces and linking those to horde characters; to me that’d be much more interesting.
I’m personally not even interested in void/light, I find them both very boring.
Because the light didn’t abandon him. He himself was throwing up these barriers. That was the whole point of it. HE was the problem; not ‘the light’.
“It’s okay if the Horde gets nothing so the alliance can keep all their privileges and make me feel good.”
Your patterns and apologism gets tiring by now.
The alliance alone is allowed to get any story at any time. That’s your answer for everything.
You claiming I’m lying when I say I like both factions is tiring.
You know what… I’m done with you Erevien. Why are you on this character anyway?
Circumventing another ban??
Get a life. You’re going on ignore.
