World of Warcraft Getting Another Major Cross-Faction Play Feature

World of Warcraft Getting Another Major Cross-Faction Play Feature

Key Takeaways

  • World of Warcraft Patch 11.0.7 will allow full cross-faction groups to enter dungeons using Group Finder.
  • Many fans anticipate the long-awaited cross-faction LFG feature in WoW.

As a dedicated World of Warcraft player with over a decade of experience under my belt, I must say that the upcoming Patch 11.0.7 is music to my ears! The long-awaited cross-faction LFG feature has finally been confirmed, and it’s about time. I remember those countless hours spent on the forums, begging Blizzard to allow us to adventure with our friends across the great divide.


Starting with Patch 11.0.7, the realm of World of Warcraft will facilitate cross-faction grouping for dungeon runs, provided all members are present. This means that players from both the Alliance and Horde can form a team and venture into dungeons together.

Just now, World of Warcraft unveiled a sneak peek at Update 11.0.7, which is the second installment for the storyline The War Within. This update will transport players to the Siren Isle – an area initially untouched in Battle for Azeroth. The narrative of the Worldsoul Saga continues here. The initial version of this update is currently accessible for playtesting on the World of Warcraft Public Test Realm.

From now on, a highly anticipated cross-faction enhancement is being added, which has long been desired by many players. This change will become effective from Patch 11.0.7, allowing cross-faction groups consisting of five members to utilize the Group Finder tool to enter dungeons jointly. Consequently, mixed faction teams can soon join random dungeons, Timewalking events, or special holiday battles in World of Warcraft, such as the Headless Horseman’s event.

In this update, small mixed-faction teams with fewer than five players won’t be able to join dungeons together, and if a player leaves, their spot won’t be filled. Since Follower Dungeons require open spaces in a party, it seems that cross-faction groups may not be able to utilize this feature just yet, despite the fact that the NPCs in World of Warcraft originate from both the Alliance and the Horde.

Cross-faction gameplay made its debut in World of Warcraft during Shadowlands Patch 9.2.5, and since then, it has lessened restrictions in various ways, such as the introduction of cross-faction guilds in Patch 10.1. It appears that Michael Bybee, the production manager for World of Warcraft, hinted at the addition of full cross-faction party matchmaking shortly after the release of WoW: The War Within. Now, it seems like this long-awaited feature is on its way in the upcoming content update.

Majority of fans welcome this change positively. They’ve been asking for the chance to use Group Finder with players from both Alliances and Horde for quite some time, particularly since events like Timewalking Dungeons are not accessible to mixed-faction groups at present. However, some fans remain displeased that this feature necessitates a full group. They’d prefer an optional toggle for the Group Finder to enable cross-faction LFG. While there are players who strongly oppose the idea, comments suggest that most believe optional cross-faction LFG is a logical progression of World of Warcraft, considering both narrative and gameplay aspects.
