Title: Faction-Change Service in the Works Post by: Trouble on June 29, 2009, 03:09:35 PM http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=18031079410
Quote from: Nethaera We wanted to give everyone a very early heads-up that, in response to player requests, we’re developing a new service for World of Warcraft that will allow players to change their faction from Alliance to Horde or Horde to Alliance. There’s still much work to do and many details to iron out, but the basic idea is that players will be able to use the service to transform an existing character into a roughly equivalent character of the opposing faction on the same realm. Players who ended up creating and leveling up characters on the opposite factions from their friends have been asking for this type of functionality for some time, and we’re pleased to be getting closer to being able to deliver it. As with all of the features and services we offer, we intend to incorporate the faction-change service in a way that won’t disrupt the gameplay experience on the realms, and there will be some rules involved with when and how the service can be used. The number of variables involved increases the complexity of implementing this service, but we plan to take the time needed to ensure that it lives up to expectations before officially rolling it out. We’ll go into much more detail on all of this here at http://www.WorldofWarcraft.com as development progresses. In the meantime, we wanted to let you know that because this type of functionality requires extensive internal testing well in advance of release, you may be seeing bits and pieces of the service in the test builds we use for the public test realms moving forward. Title: Re: Faction-Change Service in the Works Post by: Merusk on June 29, 2009, 03:11:22 PM There were folks asking for this from day 1, surprised to see it now after 4 years of avoiding or saying 'no.' Now the only question is, how long until you can just buy a character that starts at 70 or 80?
Title: Re: Faction-Change Service in the Works Post by: Fabricated on June 29, 2009, 03:21:24 PM I suppose that's one way to get a level 80 horde character without suffering the shit that is horde leveling zones.
Title: Re: Faction-Change Service in the Works Post by: Kail on June 29, 2009, 03:21:49 PM Well, now... that, I was not expecting...
I wonder if they'll come up with some way of changing your race, too. Seems like it would be a pain, otherwise. Say that normally Humans become Orcs and Night Elves become Blood Elves. Your Human Paladin switches sides, but there are no Orc Paladins, so you're reassigned to a BE. You switch back, and would normally become a Night Elf, but there are no Night Elf Paladins, so you're what, a Dranei maybe? Or a Human again? This could get tricky...

Title: Re: Faction-Change Service in the Works Post by: Ingmar on June 29, 2009, 06:33:41 PM I expect it will never happen in WoW (though I would have thought this would never happen as well.)

It would create a fair amount of problems for target identification in PVP, I think. I would have thought this too, before the Powers That Be decided that the only REAL PvP was in Arenas, where there's already Orc-on-Orc action. I have to admit, I am really curious about the specifics on how this will work. There's a ton of stuff that's still factional; mounts, weapons, rep, quests, flight paths, auctions, mail, achievements... what happens to all this when you switch? Resetting it would cause as much confusion as keeping it...

Past a certain distance you can't see names, so target ID gets slower, as you have to click on them, etc. It would really only matter in Wintergrasp/BGs, arenas are another animal entirely. Title: Re: Faction-Change Service in the Works Post by: chargerrich on June 30, 2009, 12:16:33 PM I would prefer the ability to change races on the same faction first.... my old 68 troll rogue is too damn ugly to play so he languishes because i dont have the heart to delete him... now if he were undead.... :grin:
Title: Re: Faction-Change Service in the Works Post by: apocrypha on June 30, 2009, 01:35:17 PM If they'd done this a couple of years ago I'd have been stoked. Could have swapped the level 60 Alliance druid & rogue I have to Horde and stopped feeling dirty for playing Nelves. Now, well, getting to 60 is so easy, especially with RAF, that I'm not bothered, but that's just the effect on me personally.
Will be interesting to see if this will have any effect on the huge faction imbalances on some servers, although I doubt it and in fact suspect it may make it worse on some servers.

Past a certain distance you can't see names, so target ID gets slower, as you have to click on them, etc. It would really only matter in Wintergrasp/BGs, arenas are another animal entirely. Once you reach that distance though, everyone looks the same anyways. Only Gnomes, Taurens and Male Draenei stand out enough. Even Dwarves can get blurred into the generic humanoid shape.

Title: Re: Faction-Change Service in the Works Post by: Hutch on July 01, 2009, 12:56:46 PM The original post has been updated with a Q&A. (http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=18031079410&sid=1)
You get to choose what race you switch to, as long as that race supports your class. If you switch to the other faction and then back, you have to switch back to your original race. They want to "maintain balance between the factions" on a realm, which sounds to me like they'll stop you from switching if it will overbalance the H:A ratio. For a yet-unknown value of "overbalance". Title: Re: Faction-Change Service in the Works Post by: WindupAtheist on July 01, 2009, 01:36:43 PM Quote Q. Will I be able to choose the race on the opposite faction that I want to change to? A.. Yes, but you will only be able to switch to a race that has your class type available to it. So if you play a human paladin, you’d only be able to change to a blood elf paladin. Fuck. Title: Re: Faction-Change Service in the Works Post by: Kail on July 01, 2009, 02:03:26 PM Quote Q. Will we be able to switch between the races on our own faction? A.. No. Players will only be able to switch to a race of the opposite faction. Oh, what the fuck is this... Title: Re: Faction-Change Service in the Works Post by: Ingmar on July 01, 2009, 02:05:51 PM Quote Q. Will we be able to switch between the races on our own faction? A.. No. Players will only be able to switch to a race of the opposite faction. Oh, what the fuck is this... I am pretty sure that is ENTIRELY due to human reputation racial hax. Title: Re: Faction-Change Service in the Works Post by: bhodi on July 01, 2009, 02:08:52 PM Who gives a shit? Really? Is this considered game-breaking?
If someone wants to pay cold hard cash to switch races so they only have to whack 90% of the foozles to get their flying black lizard or whatever, just fucking let them. Title: Re: Faction-Change Service in the Works Post by: Ingmar on July 01, 2009, 02:11:50 PM Presumably because the spot where they're drawing the line on RMT is 'no actual gameplay benefits'. I don't see it as that big a deal either, but if their intent is to limit RMT to purely cosmetic/convenience issues, then it makes sense.

Except that it doesn't stop that; I can change my Orc warrior to a Human to take advantage of their rep racial, and then change back once I don't need it anymore. I can't do that with my Gnome warrior, though. :tantrum: Title: Re: Faction-Change Service in the Works Post by: Lantyssa on July 01, 2009, 02:31:45 PM I would pay them money, lots of it, to let me play a Draenei (or Troll) warlock. Or a couple of other combinations. They could buy Money Hats for their Money Hats.
Title: Re: Faction-Change Service in the Works Post by: Lakov_Sanite on July 01, 2009, 03:00:24 PM I'm sure the alliance will be as happy to have more draenei as the horde are to get more blood elves.
Title: Re: Faction-Change Service in the Works Post by: Sjofn on July 01, 2009, 03:11:23 PM Nah, the draenei were just "wtf," they weren't seen as going against everything that made the Alliance cool.

Title: Re: Faction-Change Service in the Works Post by: Fordel on July 01, 2009, 05:41:35 PM Yea, the only thing the Draenei really impacted on the alliance side, is that they replaced NE's as the Mangina race of choice.

Even if it cost like $40 or something for both, it would've just made more sense. I'm still probably going to eat that cost to move one of my Alliance people to my Horde server to make room for my worgen.

The blues have said as much: Quote We may add the new races to the Race Change feature, but it will probably not be something that is available immediately after Cataclysm's launch. We are putting large amounts of work into the flow and feel of leveling in the new expansion. Thus, we would be doing many players a disservice by allowing Race Changes to circumvent the leveling process early on in the expansions natural life cycle.

It's not about little doo-dads or purple swords, it's about convenience and extra services. I think EQ was sort of close when they decided to do 'premium' content stuff like servers but people don't want that either since it just creates haves and have-nots. Name/race/gender/server changing are the perfect venue for RMT.

Title: Re: Faction-Change Service in the Works Post by: Jayce on September 07, 2009, 07:54:10 AM First, it's probably not altogether free, as they have to pay someone to push butan and handle any problems, either from the system or from something the player expected. I think for server change you can't take your bank with you and only so much gold right?
And second, I agree that they are trying to put some roadblocks up for it. They want people to really think about where they want their character to be instead of doing the changes willy-nilly.

Blah, I know at least 2 people (me included) that are getting rid of their blood elves. Title: Re: Faction-Change Service in the Works Post by: Sjofn on October 27, 2009, 08:41:17 PM It's tempting to change my night elf hunter into a dwarf, but I probably won't, especially since I'm probably going to transfer her off Doomhammer and replace her with a worgen, since my character slots are all full.
Still, it is tempting! Title: Re: Faction-Change Service in the Works Post by: Lakov_Sanite on October 27, 2009, 10:22:15 PM All the raiders are going troll or orc for the pve racials. undead are getting kicked to the curb along with belfs.

Though undead will still have two trinkets every 2 minutes, compared to 1 for everyone else. :awesome_for_real: Title: Re: Faction-Change Service in the Works Post by: Gobbeldygook on October 28, 2009, 12:15:02 AM Waiting to announce a big nerf to WOTF until the day after racial changes are opened is pretty slick.

The alliance version is the cat's ass for fights where you want a trinket, and I'd suspect there will be a few fights that way in Icecrown. |
