Some Differences on New Raids Between Horde & Alliance

The news comes via game director Ion Hazzikostas in a Q&A earlier this evening. Hazzikostas says the nine bosses in the raid "may be faced in the same order between the two factions." The Alliance may get to play their six bosses in order, and then see a flashback of what the Horde did for the final three bosses.

The Horde may get to do the first three bosses, get their flashback to see what the Alliance did, then finish with the last three Horde bosses.

Bottom line: "there are going to be some mechanical differences between the two experiences," says Hazzikostas. On the topic of crowning world first, he adds "I trust the community to figure that out." It may be that for this one time, the Alliance first and the Horde first are recognised separately.

Dazar' alor is the new Horde hub in Battle for Azeroth, with the Horde defending it and the Alliance attacking from the sea, so having the raid play out in two different routes does make sense.

So far what has been known is the raid is under testing in the past days. And according to sayings from Hazzikostas, this may be changed to Battle for Azeroth' alor.
