Horde and Alliance soon play together? That's what the wow says

Many WoW players dream of having to play Horde and Alliance together. The Game Director expressed his thoughts.

The conflict between Horde and Alliance was a major aspect of World of Warcraft for a long time. But over the years this was always softened. For several extensions, some players want that Horde and Alliance can share together in the battle, form groups and coordinate adventure. Now Game Director Ion Hazzikostas has worded.

What is the problem? Have always been the cleavage in Horde and Allianz an important pillar in World of Warcraft. Red or blue, Orc or human, storm wind or Orgrimmar. Many players very much identify with their side and yet this strict separation also brings problems. Thus, the available pool is halved at players, such as dungeons or raids.

Also because sometimes one just does not want to change his side, for example due to the guild or simply long-term habit, it is difficult to leave the back.

Therefore, he is wish: Cross-Faction game is to be made possible, Horde and Alliance should be able to play dungeons, raids or arena together.

What did the Game Director said? Actually, it was in the conversation for pacts and why that can be changed at once (with patch 9.1.5). Hazzikostas explained this:

_The story and the world fantasy are extremely important and it is ideal if you are on a line with the gameplay, but if alone story considerations specify frustrating mechanics, then this is a conflict that we have to solve in favor of the gameplay. _

Then the user asked Majicmundl then: Does this also apply to cross-faction gameplay? He referred to a possibility that Horde and Alliance can play together.

Hazzikostas replied then:

The does it. The emphasis on top lies in the word 'alone'. The division into fractions is more than just the action. There is no simple solution here, but especially when it comes to access to endgame systems such as mythical + or raids, then such a barrier is a big problem from which we know that we need to tackle it .

So it is apparently thinking at least about solutions and is not completely out of the subject.

What does Hazzikostas mean? When Hazzikostas says that it is more than Story that significantly for the separation of the political groups, then he plays on the whole game world. After all, cross-country groups would bring a whole series of questions and sometimes illogical incidents to daylight. A few of them would be:

• Can Allianz players who are in a Horde group are simply peacefully in the Horde cities?
• What about quests where allianz players are asked to kill Horde characters? Would that do a Horde character?
• Is an alliance character suddenly friendly with the Horde factions, if he wants to quests so that he can accept the quests at all?

• Should the system only work in concluded areas, such as instances or raids?

These and many further questions would have to be considered exactly well and be implemented. That would not require less than a whole transformation of the World of Warcraft.

Why do players want to play together? Reasons there are many. An argument is that some simply play on different pages and no one would like to give up his beloved main character or change the faction. Another argument is mythical raid, even if that concerns only a very small part of the players. There it is always so that a faction is extremely popular, while on the other side, only a few players find.

Last but not least, it seems to show for many purposes that Horde and Alliance finally enclose the war beam and coordinate adventure. In war mode or on the battlefields, this rivalry can still be lived.

More News around World of Warcraft are here:

• So desperately, Blizzard tries to increase his number of players
• Wow strokes the spitting emotion - also in the modern version
• Everything about patch 9.1.5 and the numerous improvements for all players

When could that come? If World of Warcraft decide to step this step, then that is hardly done with a small patch within an ongoing expansion - the necessary adjustments would be just too big. One possible time would be the release of a new extension or the previous great pre-patch, which often brings new systems.

In the best case for the supporters, so something with patch 10.0 might raise, which we probably do not see before fall 2022 - probably rather rather later. However, this is not yet confirmed.

Would you like to have to deal with the other faction of Dungeons and Raids together?
