Sxsw Austin Texas Wanted Live Music Shirt
Or just not burn Teldrassil right now because the Sxsw Austin Texas Wanted Live Music Shirt for why Darkshore is even a flashpoint make no sense and were just hamfisted because Blizzard cannot write conflict between the two factions. Teldrassil and Lordearon would’ve been a great way to launch the next expansion when you have set up this conflict properly, but not this expansion with this logic. Lets plan this out. Hypothetical 8.0 Azeroth Cold War. 8.0 adds the same regions that were added in BFA but removes the war campaign. The War Campaign its a much bigger focus and takes place over the entire expansion. Each week could add a small new quest hub that opens up world quests in Kalimdor or Eastern Kingdoms. Azerite is still the focal point of this expansion since its the nuclear analogy. Azerite is no longer being shipped up the coast of Kalimdor to Teldrassil. Azerite is also discovered somewhere in the Eastern Kingdoms in a region that neither faction controls outright. Hinterlands or Arathi Highlands would work as a secondary site for Azerite that is a little closer to the Alliance and gives them an opportunity to stockpile their own, making it a more equal Cold War. Open up the leveling experience with a peace treaty instead of infiltrating Stormwind as Horde and whatever Alliance do. Then have the player meet Sylvanas/Genn (because Anduin hasn’t been given the characterization to do something like this) and be told that explicitly they are not engaging in hostilities with the opposing faction, but are engaging in covert warfare. Then you can be sent out to Kul’tiras and Zandalar to recruit more allies. During the leveling process, it could add in more quests in the enemy factions zone. For example, in the Horde quests you are opposed by enemies to the throne of Zandalar in the other zones. In Vol’dun you could have the Alliance show up to support General Jakra’zet (but not have him be working for G’huun and Zul), likewise the Sxsw Austin Texas Wanted Live Music Shirt could have quests supporting Lady Ashvane. You could add the various factions as enemies in the zone to help support the faction cold war. Uldir works just fine as an entry raid since it has little to do with the greater faction conflict. 8.1 would start opening up the rest of Azeroth. No Siege of Zuldazar, instead it would probably be something like Invasion of Ratchet. Treat it like the Bay of Pigs (ignoring the stupidity of that actual crisis and just use it as an analogy). The raid could involve a naval blockade as an encounter since Blizz loves to do non-standard encounters. It could still be an asymmetrical raid with the Horde defending and the Alliance attacking. 8.2 could introduce a side conflict somewhere else. Maybe this is where you introduce an Old God side trip as a way for both factions to cool off, but create more minor conflicts in Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms with more world quests. Maybe the raid involves a resurgence of the Black Empire, or maybe there are two small raids both focusing on faction unrest within. Maybe the Horde has to deal with a resurgent Grimtotem that were aided by the Alliance, and maybe the Alliance has to deal with a group of Highborne that never rejoined the Night Elves (or a discontent Dark Iron group, but since they are the allied race it would be a little more difficult to sell that). You could have both factions do both raids, but now that raids are balanced around the factions, you have each raid only being canon to the faction that it concerns. 8.3 could ramp up the hostilities on the borders and build up the weapons and troops at each border zone. Increase the brashness of both factions attempting to claim territory. Maybe Horde or Alliance could lose a zone permanently. No clue on the raid because I can’t think out that far and it depends on how much Old God stuff they want to do. 8.4 Now you can implement the War of Thorns. You could even have Teldrassil or Lordaeron as a raid, or both. You could pull a Siege of Orgrimmar and have an assault on Teldrassil be the start of the raid. The Sxsw Austin Texas Wanted Live Music Shirt of raid quests show that both sides are seeing Intel that suggests that Sylvanas is going to assault Teldrassil to end the Alliance threat on the continent (instead of the stupid shipping reasoning), so the Alliance knows that Sylvanas will be weak while she is doing that. So you can end the first half with the burning of Teldrassil in a cutscene, and portal over Lordaeron to defend (and vice versa for Alliance). This would conclude the cold war and erupt into outright fighting instead of SI:7 and Nathanos doing stuff covertly. This could launch into the actual 9.0 full on faction war.

“BuT tHe SiEgE oF oRgRiMmAr” Blizzard is afraid to give the Sxsw Austin Texas Wanted Live Music Shirtany meaningful victory because the Horde player population is larger and they know there’d be a lot of backlash from that. Meanwhile no side can ever lose too hard because they have to maintain the two factions for the sake of story/mechanical purposes. Blizzard’s forcing faction wars while knowing very well that this is always going to be an eternal tug-of-war that cannot end with a definitive victor. This whole thing is just bad filler content while they get the next world-threatening bad guys ready.
