Alliance Twilight Highlands intro

[Falrinn]

Blizz screens for questions that might bring up their favoritism and when found, throw them out. They did it with the Q&A at Blizzcon, and they'll do it here too.

You can't really screen the BlizzCon questions. Even if they did ask the attendees what they were going to ask before hand, someone could of easily lied and then asked the hardball question anyways once they had the microphone.

And there were indeed several questions asked on the subject at BlizzCon, and Blizzard did admit that the perception of Horde bias was a legitimate problem.

Obviously such a question has to be phrased in a respectful and non-accusatory manner if it has any chance of being answered. If you are rude or otherwise disrespectful, they'll of course screen the question, as would I in their position.

So...

I am quite dissapointed with this fact, hell even if they didn't had enough time they could go out and say like; "Yes we got caught up in the Horde intro, so we didn't have enough time to finish the Alliance intro" or something like that, they could take it like a man, or something.

Also, i'm quite dissapointed at the lack of information, thats the thing that irritates me the most, atleaqst tell me something, no ofcourse not... I have to learn from some forum dude(No offence, lol :P).

Because its only sound files in the beta that have been datamined for christ sake. Thats why they haven't given info, because as far as I know the actual alliance event never even made it into the beta.
And besides, who honestly cares? Im a Horde guy and if Blizz (to prevent the sort of bitching and QQ'ing that goes on in threads like this) decided to remove the Horde intro to TH I wouldn't honestly care.

Are you missing out on anything revolutionary? Anything with dire and massive lore implications? Anything which will ever change WoW? No. Your missing out on a breadcrumb quest which takes you to TH. Shit the bed.

Infact no, its not even like your missing out, you just get a different version. Jesus, its amazing how so many people will get upset over not getting something which was never there to begin with.

"full steam ahead mister Fawkes".
if they don't end up using using those audio files they fucked up cause its some of the best voice acting I've seen for WoW.

The Captain reminds me of Buzz Lightyear in terms of voice.

People who play alliance pay the same amount of money for Blizzard's services as those who play horde. Thus we feel we should get the same level of attention when it comes to content. It seems to me the only "great" faction unique quest lines and events the alliance get this expansion are the Worgen starting zone and a relatively meh quest line in the swamp of sorrows. The Horde get Andorhal, YOU ARE DISMISSED, Silverpine, TH intro, and the Goblin starting zone. Mind you these are just off the top of my head, and I could be missing some. Considering the constant stream of Alliance QQ threads and noticeable lack of equivalent horde threads, there is a definite (and I think fair) perception of horde favoritism.

Im fine with the horde getting new territory to even out the balance, and even getting more kick ass quests than the alliance overall, as long as we get SOMETHING. We really dont get much this expac that goes toward faction pride.

I am curious if there are any specific complaints any Hordelings have in terms of their quests and zones, to use as a comparison to the Alliance. I dont play horde so I dont pay as much attention to news for you guys.

This sums up everything, I vote him for new Alliance Hero. Let smash some green skins!

Perhaps reroll horde if you're so mad about being forgotten. Stop being caught up with your alliance preferring and start playing the game mixed you racial hating game players. This is how you solve it, play both sides, stop whining.

LMAO I find this laughable. An Alliance player is more likely to play Horde alts on the side than Horde players are to play Alliance alts. Whenever I'm on Horde-side, the players on that side just start frothing in the mouth like rabid animals at the mere mention of Alliance.

its foolish to think that Blizzard favors Horde over Alliance, as well as thinking that expansions is "Faction based".

You got it backwards. It's foolish to think there are no bias when you get more mounts and more race/class combos, better storylines, better questing experiences.

You see, this is irrelevant. I would say that you are the one who has a weird racial faction hate. Whats wrong with not wanting to play Horde? It just doesn't interest me. In fact, why are you even posting when you have no stake in the matter? I have no problem with the horde even if I dont want to play them. I just want the Alliance to get some love as well is all. Whenever I hear about a cool horde questline I dont begrudge my green brothers. I'm actually happy for them. Im not whining about the forsaken getting cool quests in silverpine (though I think it would have been nice to flesh out the worgen lore WITH the worgen and no the forsaken). I probably will make a forsaken toon just to see it!

The alliance has nothing besides the Worgen starting zone that has me pumped for the expansion. I think I may actually roll a horde toon all the way up to at least 60 so that I can get that experience, but I wish I could be this excited about Alliance quests.
