The once-uncrossable line separating Alliance and Horde in World of Warcraft is about to be blurred even further. With cross-faction grouping added to the game this past May and cross-faction guilds on the horizon, Blizzard’s also making one more significant change to how these two sides interact.
The studio made a surprising Twitter announcement yesterday to reveal that Horde and Alliance characters will be able to share mob tags with the new expansion. This means that if a Horde character starts attacking a mob — “tags” it — then an Alliance character can chip in and earn rewards (and vice-versa).
Blizzard said that the change will go into effect with the Dragonflight pre-patch, which is rumored to be coming on October 25th. The studio added a couple of caveats, saying that this system won’t work if a character is in war mode and that the limit of five characters tagging a mob is still in effect.
