Are you planning on playing both factions in Shadowlands?

[Ryuji]

A few of my friends switched to Horde for Shadowlands but I'd rather not faction and server swap my main on Alliance for it so I was thinking about just playing 2 characters on 2 separate factions.

To expand on the title's question if you are playing both factions(and not just leveling but actually raiding/pvp/mythic+ with 2+ characters etc.), are those characters gonna be the same class/spec? I was thinking about just playing 2 paladins(one Zandalari, one Human) but I'm not 100% sold on that idea yet. Maybe Warrior or DK instead? Idunno.

Eventually I'll level my alliance druid so I can see the story from the other side.

[Sanguinerd]

Nah not this time I think. I'll level my main and if/when I get bored I'll just go do something else.

That being said, should Shadowlands be really enjoyable I might hop on my Alliance alt to see the story over there.

[Xilurm]

I don't think so. I've tried to level Horde chars over the years but it never works. Just don't like em.

I unsubbed, prepatch had nothing to do, which is a new low for a prepatch (I do understand content is expected to be added in later). Too bad, as I paid for the expansion. I'll probably be back later, I have a VR headset I've been playing with lately.

Hopefully Blizzard learns to treat its employees better in the meantime.

Prepatch event content drops this Tuesday, I believe.

[Squigglyo]

Is there any difference?

Legion had different artifact chains and achievements
BFA had you playing both sides for an achievement

Is there anything in shadowlands?

[ablib]

Not sure the point of this thread.

[Logwyn]

More than likely what I do not know. I have all the classes on the alliance side at the moment. Guess I should figure it out. Thought about doing a hunter and playing it survival as the ally hunter is ranged. Or a Druid and do the opposite of what I do ally side.

[deviantcultist]

I believe they intend alt value to be mainly focused on trying out multiple covenants, where in BfA it was about trying out both sides of the war through Factions.

Only xpac I ever actually did it was WoD. I have chars and best intentions but I haven't actually done much horde stuff in BFA or Legion

Ok. So we have a "look at me I'm unsubbed look how cool I am and I even paid for the expansion" post. Along with a vague, most likely unsubstantiated claim about Blizzard mistreating their employees... Move on folks, nothing worth reading here.

[Swnem]

Hmmm...maybe?

I gather i might come around to leveling all my characters, but the alliance ones are the priority.

I could not bring myself to play Horde seriously though. I just don't like the vibes there. The cities, the characters, the zones... i find it hard to relate to.

[Paperfox]

Undoubtedly. My main is horde, so will get a few of them up first.

[Tziva]

Yes, I always have played both, since Classic.

[Byleth]

I main Alliance, but will likely mess around with a Horde toon much later into the Xpac.

Used to play a priest (shadow/holy) on both factions but not anymore due to less time. Still be levelling multiple classes across both factions but will not be raiding. May sound odd to have time for levelling but not for raiding. But levelling is solo and can be done at my pace and availability. While raiding requires more dedication.

[Devilyaki]

Yes always do, have my horde character and alliance ready to go.

[Super Kami Dende]

Yes, seems no reason to ever limit yourself to 1 faction.

I see nothing on MMO-C has changed since I left, lol
