For the first time, players from the Alliance and Horde can team up with one another across faction lines to take out common enemies in dungeons and raids. But there are some limits to the cross-faction capabilities. Related: Everything we know about WoW: Shadowlands Patch 9.2.5 There is no specific setting that will \u201cenable\u201d cross-faction play. Instead, you can group with a player from the opposite faction in some of the same ways that you could find someone to group with for any typical instance. How to group cross-faction in WoW The most effective ways to group with someone from the opposite faction are by inviting them through their battletag or through using the group finder. Additionally, if you are a part of a \u201cCommunity\u201d in-game, you can use that social feature to find and group with people from the opposite faction. Communities are an often overlooked aspect of WoW because much of their purpose ultimately is a more diluted version of what a Guild serves. But Communities can be set as cross-faction, meaning that you can communicate with people from the other faction easily for socializing and grouping purposes. In the group finder, searching cross-faction is the default setting following the introduction of Patch 9.2.5. But players can choose to disable that by checking a box in their premade listing that says \u201cLimit to Horde\u201d or \u201cLimite to Alliance\u201d (depending on your character\u2019s faction).\u00a0 What can\u2019t you do cross-faction in WoW? While cross-faction grouping is easily doable through grouping in WoW now, there are some instances that players can\u2019t do as a cross-faction group because of how highly faction-oriented they are. A couple of examples of that would be the raid Battle of Dazar\u2019alor from Battle for Azeroth. Because each faction effectively has a separate raid and overarching story associated with the instance, players can't go in as a cross-faction group. Other instances that fit this criteria and can't be entered as a cross-faction group include:\u00a0 Baradin HoldBattle of Dazar\u2019alorExile\u2019s Reach: Darkmaul CitadelIcecrown CitadelSiege of BoralusTrial of the ChampionTrial of the CrusaderVault of Archavon","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/28151636\/WoW-AlliedRaces.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/607308"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1771"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=607308"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/607308\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":607328,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/607308\/revisions\/607328"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/583636"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=607308"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=607308"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=607308"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=607308"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=607308"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=607308"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=607308"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

For the first time, players from the Alliance and Horde can team up with one another across faction lines to take out common enemies in dungeons and raids. But there are some limits to the cross-faction capabilities. Related: Everything we know about WoW: Shadowlands Patch 9.2.5 There is no specific setting that will \u201cenable\u201d cross-faction play. Instead, you can group with a player from the opposite faction in some of the same ways that you could find someone to group with for any typical instance. How to group cross-faction in WoW The most effective ways to group with someone from the opposite faction are by inviting them through their battletag or through using the group finder. Additionally, if you are a part of a \u201cCommunity\u201d in-game, you can use that social feature to find and group with people from the opposite faction. Communities are an often overlooked aspect of WoW because much of their purpose ultimately is a more diluted version of what a Guild serves. But Communities can be set as cross-faction, meaning that you can communicate with people from the other faction easily for socializing and grouping purposes. In the group finder, searching cross-faction is the default setting following the introduction of Patch 9.2.5. But players can choose to disable that by checking a box in their premade listing that says \u201cLimit to Horde\u201d or \u201cLimite to Alliance\u201d (depending on your character\u2019s faction).\u00a0 What can\u2019t you do cross-faction in WoW? While cross-faction grouping is easily doable through grouping in WoW now, there are some instances that players can\u2019t do as a cross-faction group because of how highly faction-oriented they are. A couple of examples of that would be the raid Battle of Dazar\u2019alor from Battle for Azeroth. Because each faction effectively has a separate raid and overarching story associated with the instance, players can't go in as a cross-faction group. Other instances that fit this criteria and can't be entered as a cross-faction group include:\u00a0 Baradin HoldBattle of Dazar\u2019alorExile\u2019s Reach: Darkmaul CitadelIcecrown CitadelSiege of BoralusTrial of the ChampionTrial of the CrusaderVault of Archavon","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/28151636\/WoW-AlliedRaces.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/607308"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1771"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=607308"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/607308\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":607328,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/607308\/revisions\/607328"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/583636"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=607308"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=607308"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=607308"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=607308"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=607308"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=607308"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=607308"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
