World of Warcraft: Legion

Calhoun · 23-03-2016 7:53pm

I have bought the new chronicles book from blizzard which expands the lore it's quite good. Right now things are slow enough.

I'm mainly doing achievement hunting and lore stuff, bought another battered hilt as example.

I've gotten so annoyed with the queue times in LFR and the requirements of normal raid finder that i decided to roll a healer, level her and ill probably get into a normal before my mage does... :mad:

I pre-ordered Legion today, as i've been playing it casually for the last few weeks. Been levelling my Warlock mostly, while also trying to grind the Draenor flying achievement (takes way too long for my liking) with my Paladin. Also leveling another Rogue from time to time as well, as i really enjoy the playstyle.

Nice to get the free lvl100 boost, though i've no idea what class to use it on. Mage or Warrior maybe.

Mage are great fun, as are warrior. Depends on what you want to be. A glass canon of death or a facerolling lunatic.

Pretty horrible news that basically one of the first things you do in Legion is end up at another bloody Garrison table for your "Champions" in the order halls. Does not sound like a great start for the expansion if the first thing they can think of to do is re-skin the garrison command table.

Kiith · 14-04-2016 4:20pm

I actually liked the idea of Garrisons, they just implemented it badly. If they take what they've learned from WoD, they can hopefully turn it into something that's not just a boring daily grind. I like the idea of the Artifact weapons, and some of them look extremely cool. Plus, you can transmog them if you don't want to have the same looking weapon as everyone else. Animation changes are also greatly needed.

Used my boost to get a Rogue to 100, and just got my Warlock up now. Got some Baleful gear with the Rogue easily, but it's tougher with the lock as i actually have to fight enemies around the treasures :P Will level my Hunter (curently at lvl90) and either a Shaman or Warrior next.

Vicxas · 14-04-2016 6:26pm

I love my Rogue but Sub is just an awful spec to play lately.

In Legion its meant to be a million times better.

Calhoun · 14-04-2016 11:56pm

Interesting, they must have really improved it because the rogue community were up in arms about a month or so back.

Vicxas · 18-04-2016 6:15pm

Legion has a release date:

Defenders of the Alliance and the Horde—a great and ancient enemy has set its sights on Azeroth once more, and soon the land will be consumed in a storm of fel fire. Starting on August 30, kingdoms will burn, heroes will fall, and the world will stand on the precipice of destruction with the launch of World of Warcraft: Legion!

All hellfire is about to break loose, so steel yourself for the return of the Burning Legion by pre-purchasing World of Warcraft: Legion digitally at www.wowlegion.com. Players who pre-purchase will receive an instant level-100 character boost, as well as unlock early access to the new Demon Hunter hero class prior to the expansion’s release.

The Randy Riverbeast · 18-04-2016 7:24pm

Only a year of 5.2.

MagicIRL · 19-04-2016 9:35am

I kinda' want to play launch Demon Hunter purely because I remember launch Deathknight during WOTLK and it was hilarious.

Thought about resubbing recently, mainly to play battlegrounds believe it or not! Haven't brought myself to do it though... yet.

Kiith · 12-05-2016 4:56pm

I have to say, Legion is looking pretty good so far. Some great class changes, professions that actually have some depth to them, and interesting world content. Been watching some of the class videos, and it makes me want to level up a Shaman and Shadow Priest

My only concern is how bad they got tanks this expansion, my tank is a Pally and they're pretty much useless now it seems....

Kiith · 13-05-2016 11:00am

Yeah, there have been some complaints about that alright. They wanted to remove the self healing that tanks had, which is a good idea imo, but they've really screwed them up. Hopefully they make some changes through the beta.

I love the PvP changes they've added. Gear doesn't really matter anymore, and a separate PvP talent tree. Should make it very interesting.

MagicIRL · 13-05-2016 11:37am

As I recall, Blizzard wanted more people playing Tank which is why they sorta got buffed with the self healing and extra DPS to make them more appealing to the masses. I imagine taking some of that away all of a sudden won't sit too well with players.

I was always in the camp that a Tank should not be able to tank very well without a healer and a healer should not be able to survive indefinitely without a tank. And DPS should never stand in the fire.

Problem is both roles are pretty horrible in solo content, and Blizz need to cater for everyone the best they can.

Seemingly its too difficult for players to change spec when they are doing solo content.....(the gear change for items to morph was brought in to help this)

I think they made a massive blunder giving Alpha to streamers, especially streamers who just talk **** about the game and cry about legacy servers.

There was some pretty clear indication number tuning and balance would happen through beta phases, yet idiotic streamers empowered idiotic viewers to go mental about class balance.

I'm using this downtime in WoD to pretty much level every DPS spec to 100 and give it a run. So come Legion I'll know where I stand with a)My Warlock and b)What alt to maintain for split runs during progress.

Mages are fun....

Noxin · 16-05-2016 12:59pm

Out of curiosity, what (if anything) have they done to crafting for Legion? Is it still useless?

Kiith · 16-05-2016 1:05pm

Crafting has been given a pretty major overhaul apparently. You'll get some of the BIS items from it, and it takes a serious amount of effort to actually craft it. There are full quest lines for all crafting and gathering professions as well, with lore added to keep it interesting. They seem to realise how utterly useless it was in WoD, and are trying to fix their mistakes.

Did you see a video of it?

Currently the likes of Preach/Asmongold and Bellular dont have any Beta vids up.

Kiith · 16-05-2016 2:03pm

Here's the one i was talking about from Preach, which goes over professions (mainly Mining)

And here's one video on Blacksmithing from Bellular (which i am just watching now)

Noxin · 16-05-2016 3:07pm

hmm, looks better at least.
Also a quick look at wowhead shows the Leystone and Demonsteel items as BoE and not set to a max of three pieces which is nice. That infuriated me to no end in WoD at the beginning. Of course all that may change before release, but I hope not.

Kiith · 16-05-2016 3:16pm

There was a limit on the number of crafted items you could wear, but they removed it a few weeks ago.

The_Mac · 16-05-2016 4:33pm

Lads Gamestop are charging €100 for the collector's edition. Anyone know a place that does it cheaper? I'd really like to get it.

Calhoun · 16-05-2016 7:28pm

Anyone get into the beta? disappointing i didnt so will be cancelling until launch as i have nothing left to do.

Vicxas · 17-05-2016 8:52am

Looks like only 1 of us did.

In relation to the collectors edition, i think its that price pretty much everywhere.

Amazon have it for 83 Euro.

MagicIRL · 17-05-2016 10:36am

I'm curiously interested. Would love some beta access. I got in during WoD but only towards the end iirc.

Don't really have the time to sink hour after hour into end-game though, so that is kinda' holding me back.

Might as well get it from Gamestop then, considering post and packaging from amazon could take a bit.

That's because the crafted items use useless now with Baleful gear bar a slight advantage while leveling 90-100.

Free delivery to Ireland

UK Amazon don't do free Ireland delivery. And it's not up on DE Amazon. Besides, just in case it doesn't arrive day 1 I'd best play it safe with Gamestop. Was hoping somewhere like Smyths or Argos would do it but unfortunately not.

EDIT: Just read delivery terms, you're right, sorry. Still, UK are usually late with delivery I've found.

Bobatron · 23-05-2016 10:01am

Hi lads , one of the people at work has me getting back into WoW before the launch of Legion.
Sadly he is on a PvP server something which I'll never do again.
I'm interested in meeting other people from Ireland that play WoW tbh the game carries with it a stigma with all the craziness that's happened with it over the years. But I was there in TBC and am damn sure going to be there for legion.
So if anyone wants to gt togther and help me lvl some of my classes I'm aiming for to get one of each to 100 before the pre patch hits

MagicIRL · 23-05-2016 10:06am

Resubbed for a month to play Holy Priest with a friend. It's enjoyable coming back and just questing. I don't have any aspirations for end-game raiding again, but... I could be tempted knowing how much fun it's been in the past.

I'm Alliance on Kilrogg with the Priest for a change, although I would much prefer my Horde character on Tarren Mill.

Bobatron · 23-05-2016 10:10am

oh? Well the forums here seem to be dead is there a lot of Irish WoWers.. I only know of 3-4 myself

MagicIRL · 23-05-2016 10:27am

To be fair, it's coming in to Summer and the tail end of an expansion so things are expected to be quiet. Whats your BattleTag and I'll add you when I'm home.

Calhoun · 23-05-2016 10:46am

There are quite allot most I know are in pvp servers and hardly any post on this forum.

I don't know what stigma your talking about or what are you trying to say.

Bobatron · 23-05-2016 11:34am

I suppose the stigma would be something onto the "make love not warcraft " episode of South Park

Also

damned PvP servers. I used to be on one but tired of it due to being ganked religiously

Also there are a few of us heading to the midnight launch of Warcraft if anyone from Limerick wants to tag along give me a PM

Your talking about a game that became so culturally popular that it had an episode of south park dedicated to it, that one minor negative part of the community was highlighted in a joking way doesn't mean there is a stigma.

The reason for few Irish players in wow is more a lack of Irish community as we are a small country we are representively going to be lower but not everyone posts here. At the same time the game is 12 years old people have just moved on.

Pvp ain't so bad if you can handle yourself but if not keep to pve servers. I personally find the pvp adds a nice flavor of danger while leveling but I understand.

TheDoc · 23-05-2016 1:57pm

Popularity in this forum comes in waves, but was it every truly "buzzing"?

As mentioned above, know and play with plenty of Irish people, but they don't post here, and we are not part of Irish or predominantly Irish guilds.

m5ex9oqjawdg2i · 23-05-2016 2:46pm

I moved from a pvp server to a pve server with some friends and I found it to be incredibly boring. The world pvp element really adds to the excitement of the game. I'm also terrible at pvp.

I really hated being away from the main cities. I miss ironforge

looking forward to the expansion though.

Calhoun · 23-05-2016 2:50pm

I also find anecdotaely some not all PVE players who have PvP experience are better for it, the simple reason is that the PvP side of the game has them explore much more of their characters than they normally would have and are more adaptable.

MagicIRL · 23-05-2016 2:56pm

PvP Players are better. There's a reason the top guilds are all on PvP servers. The talent pool is much deeper.

Bobatron · 23-05-2016 9:33pm

I started on Defias server in TBC. I lasted all the way up until... WoD it got to the stage where you could not level for 10-15 min without 10 lads dropping from the sky and camping you.
it got to the stage where it was mental, ppl would plant ally alts in guilds and camp events or do a /who.
So I lost my taste for it over the years

PropJoe10 · 23-05-2016 9:37pm

Definitely will be waiting for some reviews of the finished product before investing - this will be the first WoW expansion that I haven't pre-ordered since TBC. Warlords left a very sour taste in my mouth, so hoping they can redeem themselves with this one! Lets face it, it can't be any worse than WoD!

Ha what guild were you in I have been on defias for a year or two.

That server is fairly toxic but at least it now it contained to twitter.

Forlorn Cartel , Dreadhowl Pack then I tried Disciples of Light followed by band of the brave and... Wild Tempest then Wardens of Azeroth So yeah I've met every prick on that server

You don't know the half of it I could tell you some stories

.

The_Mac · 24-05-2016 12:48pm

As a former Defias RPer on Horde side, I could tell you the entirety of what led to the factions RP destruction. It's a pretty good story.

Bobatron · 24-05-2016 1:28pm

Is it the story of PvPrs / gankers that took the piss on both sides killing the community and tonnes of sane people just leaving cause others were whining about PvP on a PvP server?

I'd say that is part of it but the rp guilds have some decent pvprs so it's not the full story. Defias was always drama filled with people playing both factions against each other constantly .
