I’ve heard some people throwing around an idea for a third faction and I don’t think that would work, at all.\u00a0 We have huge problems balancing two at this time as it is.\u00a0 Horde is the ‘good’ faction to be right now for whatever reason.\u00a0 I don’t recall if there is a legitimate reason they are good because of racials or whatever, but let’s say there is no in-game reason currently.\u00a0 It doesn’t matter, because one way or another all the ‘good’ players are pushing Horde.\u00a0 Then Alliance players see their friends as Horde and they go Horde.\u00a0 Other Alliance notice horde teams are pushing progression better and then they go horde.\u00a0 Now Alliance see they have little in the way of groups whether it’s in towns or group finder and they go Horde where everyone is.\u00a0 Snowball effect.<\/p>\n
Anyway my solution was not a third faction but a friendly Horde\/Alliance setup. I was thinking about how Sylvannas burned the world tree and how some horde, Tauren in particular, were very against this.\u00a0 Tauren by their nature, and possibly also blood elves, if we’re going by lore, would not approve burning the tree, much less civilians.\u00a0 Other races may roleplay that way too.<\/p>\n
So I would suggest Horde and Alliance can mark themselves as ‘neutral’.\u00a0 This would mean they could party with any Horde friends who are also ‘neutral’. Now I could see this as being a real big problem if everyone just marked themselves as neutral and we’ve be right at a 1 faction kind of thing.\u00a0 For that I would think having a ‘neutral list’ would work.\u00a0 I am neutral with X Horde and they are neutral with me.\u00a0 But other Horde, I still have a problem with.\u00a0 This way you could play with friends but not play with the other faction willy nilly. It’s like how I use to hang out with Ladiesman but when other Alliance showed up, we would fight each other. Sorta. My friendship with him, didn’t mean my faction had to be friends with him also.<\/p>\n
I talked about this in stream last night but I wanted to write it down in case it happens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
