Eric Musco posted some new information regarding Iokath. This time it’s a post on choosing your faction on Iokath with patch 5.2. 26d15
Hey folks,
As we mentioned in our PvP post last week, and on our original 5.2 livestream, when you arrive on Iokath you will be able to choose which Faction you want to side with in the War for Iokath. We know that there will be many questions coming off of this around what this actually impacts so we want to clear up exactly how this works, and exactly what it affects. First, to avoid any confusion: The faction you choose has no effect at all outside of Iokath. It only impacts story choices in the Iokath storyline (and future stories) and some gameplay impacts on Iokath.
Let’s start by talking about how the Faction choice works mechanically. You will be able to choose which Faction you want to side with initially during your character’s storyline on Iokath. Once you have completed the storyline and have access to the open world PvP, players’ allies and enemies are determined by their currently selected Faction.
If you do anything off of Iokath such as Warzones, Operations, etc. your Class’s Faction is what will determine things as normal.
Let us know if you have any questions about Faction switching on Iokath or its impact.
