[QUOTE=TheForeigner;15799228]Its a race change i think. So when your a gnome warlock you could change your race to any other one with warlocks. I wouldnt wanna see a gnome on horde side, i love to punt them.[/QUOTE] Yea well no shit sherlock. Blizzard isn't going to let a human go to Horde and still stay human. [editline]09:36PM[/editline] If this is free though it will backfire dramatically. You'll be hanging out with your guildy doing dungeons all day long, and the next day, you're walking along and you see him walking towards you with his name in red. DUN DUN DUN plot twist
Why would anyone ever think it would be free? How did that even cross your mind as plausible?

Hell I'd probably do it, if it weren't for the fact I have to pay. Plot twist indeed..
Will only be Faction to Faction, won't be able to go say Draenei Paladin to Human Paladin, only Draenei Paladin to Blood Elf Paladin or any matching Class/Race combo on opposite side. @Thorny
[QUOTE=JohnWallace;15817722]Will only be Faction to Faction, won't be able to go say Draenei Paladin to Human Paladin, only Draenei Paladin to Blood Elf Paladin or any matching Class/Race combo on opposite side. @Thorny[/QUOTE] Agree with you explaining it, but he's a complete moron if he thinks Blizzard would EVER get away with anything like that. Gnome Paladin? Yehh sureee.
[QUOTE=JohnWallace;15817722]Will only be Faction to Faction, won't be able to go say Draenei Paladin to Human Paladin, only Draenei Paladin to Blood Elf Paladin or any matching Class/Race combo on opposite side. @Thorny[/QUOTE] No.
[QUOTE=JohnWallace;15817722]Will only be Faction to Faction, won't be able to go say Draenei Paladin to Human Paladin, only Draenei Paladin to Blood Elf Paladin or any matching Class/Race combo on opposite side. @Thorny[/QUOTE] Technically you could do it with 2 faction changes (assuming you get to pick your receiving race)
[QUOTE=Specter;15820978]Technically you could do it with 2 faction changes (assuming you get to pick your receiving race)[/QUOTE] Nope.

I don't understand why you put @ Thorny on the end there...
[QUOTE=Thorny;15826858]Sorry, what? I don't understand why you put @ Thorny on the end there...[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Thorny;15771775]I'm sure this will incorporate race changes. It must do for the other faction, so why not for your current one. Also, the next stage is class changes. E.G, trade in your warlock for a mage.[/QUOTE] Also, 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. Q. Will I be able to switch back to my original faction but a different race? A. No. You will only be able to switch back to your originally chosen race. From the Faction Change Q&A
That's a heaping pile.
What about achievements and crap?
[QUOTE=Slippers;15828513]What about achievements and crap?[/QUOTE] Q. How will the switch between reputation, gear, mounts, etc be handled? A. We’ll have more details for you at a later point in time, though we plan to keep these as close to a reflection of the other faction as much as possible. That's all they said about it so far.
This is gonna end up in so many guilds breaking up. :sigh:
Basically it'll be all: I h8 u goin horde now ill b back l8er k And life goes on.

From the Faction Change Q&A[/QUOTE] That's totally nonsensical on Blizzard's part. If it's "ok" in the lore for someone to switch factions, and therefore races in the first place - why can he not then switch factions back, but to a different race? That makes no sense whatsoever.

Shit idea, but I imagine it will be somewhere around 50$ because of how big of a change it is.
[QUOTE=Cheesemonkey;15833661]Blizz has their reasons. And it's not lore.[/QUOTE] No, I mean, Blizzard are going to have some way of fitting this in with the lore. And if they can do that, why can't it be done the way I said? And don't tell me it's not possible or anything, because if it's doable to switch FACTIONS and race, then it's certainly possible to just switch your race on it's own. I eagerly await Blizzard's reasoning on this.
[QUOTE=Crabface;15829229]This is gonna end up in so many guilds breaking up. :sigh:[/QUOTE] Partially yes, but many will either mass-move, or one or two will leak away from a guild. Considering Blizzard don't give anything for free (unless they need to, e.g. free server moves to balance the game) it is going to cost to faction change. Guilds typically move en-masse so for them to all move en-masse to say Alliance from Horde, it'll cost a lot. The chances of a guild doing this is majorly slim considering not many guilds do it that often.

Oh my god your posting, it burns!

And they don't need lore for something that isn't even based around the lore. Seriously. What the fuck is wrong with you? Also, everyone will just want to change races. Pointless.

this just in: WoW has officially gone to shit... (after vanilla it was shit, after TBC it was even more shit, now it's officially shit.)
