The issue is that 1% better matters a lot more than you would think. I remember going through our logs one of the first weeks of Mythic where we were reclearing Heroic and the first 3 Mythic bosses. We had three or four 1% wipes and adding it up the time from first 1% wipe on a boss to killing it was around 3 hours of time wasted. That's basically a full raid worth of time wasted for the sake of being alliance. That was the difference between having half a raid for progress vs having a raid and a half for progress which is huge and that applies whatever level of raiding you are at.
Those on use racials just have more practical uses than static racial. Tight first phase better , priority add better , tight execute better. Not that i think this is the reason, Horde just have a bigger pool of raiders to chose from now.I love how people in here don't think its an issue even when they see the stats.but who really cares BFA killed wow , at least til next expansion.
easy fix:get rid of factions, the end
Well that told us what we all knew, be interesting to see what the PVP balance is?
1. Blizzard has a storyline where the horde massacres a whole capital city of innocent civilians2. Alliance players on their horde alts complain about the story3. To show they mean business they threaten to unsub4. Actual horde players stay5. omg why does the horde have more players
Or maybe people chose horde coz it has less jerks.
Just came here to say that, if the difference between a wipe and a kill is a racial, then your group has serious issues.Racials, in the grand scope of things, are irrelevant.
Here's the fix. Make racials stronger, give a slight advantage to the alliance. There are creative ways you could balance that. Stop taking things away from this game and pruning what gives identity. Some should be better than others at things, start giving more power instead of taking it away and trying to trivialize the game to a two button rotation for every class/spec/race/faction.
Ya know, at this point there is no good way of fixing this. This entire problem, although started by Blizzard, is now wholly on the player side. See, the whole thing revolves around there being less Alliance an more Horde, and at this point in this Whole "Imbalance" thing, Good fix is completely Impossible, because the problem lies not withing the gameplay mechanics or Racials, or anything Progression related, but within players themselves. At one point Horde was known to be better for PvE and Alliance for PvP. But considering that the game revolves significantly more around PvE, eventually more players moved to Horde, for that slight boost. When they decided to make racials nearly insignificant boost for either, it was too late, and the damage was far too severe to be fixed by it. PvE was nearly always (with an exception in Vanilla) around Horde. PvP was added to the list, thanks to the amount of players on the Horde side being greater than on the Alliance. Now, there are no possible fixes for this except one, which i will talk about in a second, but all current suggestions of offering Free Faction transfers, or giving a stronger edge and boosts to the Alliance just wouldn't work, and would cause even more problems than there are. Most of the top guilds would start denouncing Alliance Raiders as not being part of the World race and would stay Horde, and when it comes to average players, Most would outright refuse to change, and leave their friends and guild, even for significant Bonuses, for the sake of standing aganist it. In my case as a Horde players i once saw that Both factions were superior by some amount in those aspects of the game, now they can be called equal, in terms of Mechanics, But more loved in case of the Horde. As an old, loyal Horde player, the better rewards and outright giving better things to the Alliance, would make me completely pissed. So that leaves pretty much somehow merging factions, so there would not be any kind of split, but BfA makes it quite Hard. For now there aren't any good fixes, and we have to wait, and hope for some good, reasonable ideas to pop up and be implemented.Also sorry for the poor English.
It's funny how the Alliance Propaganda work
if they would offer free faction transfert to alliance from horde this might help. it doesn't cost them most and in the long run they are going to get a win out of it since people will have more fun.right now they try to do that throw bad storytellingand make a freaking third factionpeople talking about racial is really funny. Racial is not a factor.Just look at how many of those freaking BE we have
