Exorsus going Alliance for Castle Nathria

[Makabreska]

yeah,and those elements are extremly bad in a competitive mmo,this isnt a singleplayer game like divinity original sin,all racials should have ZERO performance and special abilities like removing dots gone,have them all be cosmetic stuff or quality of life,vulpera bags and transmog reduction cost are very good ones,we wouldnt have the insane faction imbalance that way also

this remind me of trolls in mop,but i dont think it was nerfed then,think it was changed in wod to give beast xp instead of dmg

Wow pve is hardly competitive, simply because of vaugness on what is exploit and punishment inconsistency (and different region launch times ofc) . Too late for racial changes, you make them all cosmetic and player base will still gravitate towards Horde, simply because majority of quality pvers is there. The only solution right now is cross faction pve and guilds.

Fun Detected

[Drusin]

Alright boys the time has come, everyone to Alliance!

[Saltysquidoon]

Of course it will be nerfed, Blizz can't allow actual race differentiation! That's too much of an RPG element!

You do realise of course that part of the reason raiding (and now m+) has slowly grown to be dominated by the horde is because it's had far and away better pve racials across the board right?

Like the only reason the op even exists is because it's the alliance.

Or maybe stop caring about one tier in a literal couple of top guilds. I've played there and while this would have to be given consideration, I now see how hurtful it is to the game overall.

People are unable to stop carring,what the top guilds do trickles to the rest,to the point where even non mythic guilds follow their example,its simply not realistic to say ''just stop caring''....personaly i dont,but i am still affected by it if i play aliance

[korocota]

Same thing with old orc stun resist, undead antifear, human trinket, etc. May aswell just remove all the combat on use racials tbh.

You simply have to use common sense. "Can I easily copy to my benefit what top guilds do?" My guild has no problems with that. Entire lower tier guilds won't blindly follow every top 10 example, especially if money and change of anesthetics is involved.

[Sharnie786]

Now all we need is 2 expansions where Alliance racials are OP in raids for this to actually result in a paradigm shift.

I'd rather have them nullify racials and have people choose a faction based on appearance/lore whatever instead of niche uses for X racial on a special Y moment of an xpac like this specific situation with Nathria. Would maybe solve a lot of pvp issues too.

well the huge faction imbalance proves that entire lower tier guilds do blindly follow and the top guilds are exclusivly horde,i was aliance,until we realised the recruitment options were abismal,meanwile horde side it was like a different world,far easier to recruit and even the quality of players we noted to be of a better breed

Nullify racials and have them be cosmetic also agree,but that alone wont balance it,something needs to be done to entice more people to aliance,and not just any players,but also good ones,aliance not only lacks in numbers but lacks in quality players now,honestly i dont see them ever fixing this,the only true way to fix it is allow cross faction play

That was a process that took over 10y and several expansions. No guild beside top of the top will change factions back and forth just for Nathria progress.

[Gorsameth]

I will laugh a lot if Blizzard changes the debuffs to be generic rather then bleed but waits with it until the inevitable Mythic opening week balance changes.

Oh we proly misunderstood eachother,i didnt say many people would go aliance for castle,yeah only the tippy top will switch back and forth for just one raid,happened in the past with trolls in mop

Fireblood and Stoneform remove every type of debuff, so Blizz would have to make them undispellable. That would screw with entire fight balancing.

I haven't checked much of the raid, People keep saying they are bleeds? which are not dispellable anyway except for stoneform.
So what would be the issue?

[Sarethion]

They still get the leveling bonus, which is probably worth it for many of them..

It would be funny if enough people went Alliance for the experience bonus to reduce its effectivenes down to 10%

Well there is Kyrian pot as well.

[8bithamster]

I thought they wanted meaningful choices!

The person you quoted is just whining.. First players want choices to matter, then you get this and people cry about it.

[Gorsameth]

I'm going to take a very wild stab and say the Raid won't be balanced around people having the correct Covenant. So, again, losing the ability to remove them with Kyrian should not be a balance issue.

well,when one covenant/conduit combo performs 50%+ better,its kinda gonna be balanced around it,raiding in sl is either going to be classic levels easy to accoutn for such huge power difference,or it will be tuned around the best covenants,and honestly i doubt they wiwll go the classic difficulty route
