In this and every thread on this topic: If you don't like the bitching Saurfang character who is more ore less a copy of Thrall, you must be a Sylvanas fanboy who jerks off to pictures of her at night.
I do not think it will be that black and white. There are many options for blizzard. Here is a crazy Idea Sylvanas becomes the Lich queen and creates a third faction of Undead with undead versions of all the races. I know its a pipe dream but sure would vitalize the war. Horde vs Alliance is stale.
All this means is Blizzard has a not so cleverly designed way of checking to see if Horde players are in fact happy with Syl or if they should move the story in another direction.
A 3rd faction makes no sense because it either makes people pay to keep playing with their friends, or it opens up a choice to do group activities with both factions, which again makes people pay as it is obviously the overpowered choice to go with neutrality to get benefits of both.
Seems you have a feeble understanding. Lorewise they are split gameplay wise it does not matter what faction you are. Just look at pvp. Before we had Ashran where horde players could join the alliance and vice versa and in 8.1 horde players can join the alliance in Warmode and vice versa.
lol. ppl act like you dont get a toy when you choose sylvanas. if they had really read that stuff, they would know that quests on the sylvanas side follows too. and ofc will blizz give em a toy there too, just bc of balance and zero reason to not. cheesus how less imagination/brain ppl have these days.
This item has me scratching my head, its a reward from a horde only quest. However it lists Dark Iron Dwarf as one of the usable races, oversight/tool tip error or maybe they were originally supposed to be a Horde allied race?
Why ppl worry about chosing a side, ill go Sylvanas side on main, but later ill do Saufrang side on any minor alt just to get the stupid toy.
Don't see the point in giving players the illusion of choice here. In the end it's still Blizzard that ultimately decides who you side with.
The sad thing is, i'm 99% sure saurfang will end victorious. Though i'd rather have sylvanas.
They've put way to much time and resources for the cgi saurfang for him to not play a pivotal role. And it's forced on us..
I'm getting some serious déjà vu where Saurfang plays the role of Vol'jin and Sylvanas as Garrosh from back in 5.1. I like that you can get to choose with which character your loyalty lies though, really wish I could've joined Garrosh over Vol'jin. My main will probably follow Saurfang while my undead alt will rather follow Sylvanas.
