Blizzard Announces Cross-Faction Mob Tagging Coming In World Of Warcraft: Dragonflight

October 14, 2022 Marc Marasigan Comments

Blizzard plans to blur the once-impregnable dividing line between factions in World of Warcraft even further when Dragonflight officially arrives. With cross-faction grouping now a thing and cross-faction guilds in the works, the studio is now looking to encourage even more cooperation between Horde and Alliance players with the addition of shared mob tagging.

Mob tagging happens when one player attacks a mob and tags it, allowing other players from the same faction to attack the same mob and share in the XP and rewards. With Dragonflight’s release, members of opposing factions will be able to work hand in hand to bring down mobs instead of fighting over hunting grounds like in the old days.

Note that the five-character limit for mob tagging will remain in effect and won’t work for characters in War mode. The change will deployed as part of the Dragonflight pre-patch which is rumored to be rolling out on October 25^th.
