Icy Veins' 5 Years Anniversary: 200 Legion Beta Key Giveaway

Recommended Posts

Legion-Yay!

I am really looking forward to the new class changes 4 shadow/disc-priest as well as 4 the survival hunter! I really like where they are going with them!

One input from my side: PLEASE, make off-hands visible! All the artefact weapons are looking really cool but its sad that we shadows just see our dagger sad.png (axually i really don´t get why this isn´t in the game since years...)

And one wow-memory iám looking back to - my first random epic drop in vanilla(argh vanilla was epic) in Tanaris.

cya in the beta,

hopefully

The artifact weapons are a thing that have really caught my attention. Cant wait to play the weapon quest lines on my alts. Oh.. and the new and improved transmog system is nice. Goodbye to full void storages and bank tabs :)

 

One thing I will always remember is the first Ragnaros kill back in the day.. Havent had the same feel of accomplishment since... what a great feeling it was.

I'm really looking forward to playing Demon Hunter. The class fantasy sounds very interesting and combat aspects as far as I've seen are nice (not sure I like the Momentum build though). Other than that I'm looking forward to the new transmog system. Finally my bank will have free space again.

All the things I am looking forward to, in no particular order:

 

  • Moonkin Model Upgrade
  • No longer having to stare at my UI in order to DPS (moonkin)
  • Being able to change my attacks based on what I'm attacking (goes with above)
  • I really want to play with the new weapon. I think the idea is great since it frees up a lot of drop space for other gear throughout the expansion.
  • Oddly enough, I enjoy leveling, mostly because I like the stories, also, I wonder where the poo quest is. There is always one.
  • No longer having a bag or two full of tabards.

I think that's enough for now :D

I am extremely excited for Legion, not only is it a change of pace for the game but a change for even my personal play style. This is the first expansion that I am looking at the beginning of it and saying, "I want to level with friends" and with the new system of how each zone scales to you and at the end of each zone there are 1-2 dungeons to do to go along with the story, it will be a fantastic opportunity to level with my friends.

 

In the past I have always been a rush leveler, from Wrath of the Lich King, trying to get world first level 80 but getting a sore eye and being unable to play and losing out on it by about 3 hours. All the way to rushing Warlords of Draenor to be the first on my realm at level 100 and gearing for Highmaul as quickly as possible. These have been fond memories throughout my years of playing but that is finally ending and I couldn't be happier about it.

 

I am most excited for leveling with friends, but also having a new progression system both in PvP with the prestige system and PvE with the Artifact system and the CM Dungeon changes. I extremely look forward to the difficulties that will present themselves in the Challenge Mode Dungeons and I look forward to racing for as high of a CM Key as I possibly can get from week to week.

 

Every system that I have experienced through my years in World of Warcraft has always fascinated me at the beginning of the expansion and I think this expansion will do the exact same. But, the only difference is I think these systems will keep me intrigued all the way to the next expansion!

I'm hoping they give the system a complete overhaul, it has been a while since that has happened. Either way, I'm excited to finally get a new class to play with :)

One of my best memories on wow :

 

When I was a beginner I wanted to have the epic two-handed sword from Zul'Farrak, you had to combine two one-handed swords to get it. 

 

But when the rarest sword dropped after 15 times doing the dongeon with different people, our tank clicked "need" by mistake.

 

He was so sad for me he asked the GM to switch the loot, and they did ! I was so happy to get my sword !

 

But above anything else, I made a friend smile.png.

 

I am really looking forward the new social features of legion.

What am I most looking forward to? Honestly there are so many good features and QoL changes in legion that it's a headache trying to pick one but seeing as I have to, I'd have to say the class artifact quests! I am a huge lore nerd and have read up on pretty much every aspect of the game so getting more class lore is so goddamn exciting!

 

My best memory? The week before TBC's release I managed to get anathema on my priest and kill twin emps with my old old raiding guild, I know it wasn't a c'thun kill but to us it was just as amazing!

In the beginning I would like to Thank you Icy Veins for a nice opportunity to participate in such wonderful event.

It has been a long time since we first encountered Legion, but it will be first time for some of us to use an artifact to fight it. I am really looking forward to "story" behind all artifact quests.

I know there will be changes that will break someone's heart (gladiator stance removal,..) but if all things together will look amazing as it appears now, we will be happy.

New honor system, diablo-like transmog system, artifacts(with nerfed costs for upgrading it on alts - yay!) and all the lore that binds it together.. what are we waiting for? Preorder! :D

Im really looking forward to legion for so many reasons. As a lore maniac, i want to see how the storyline will affect the great lore figures like Thrall and Tirion, but as a player, i am very hyped for the changes coming to affliction warlocks and fury warriors,my main characters :D. And of course, artifact weapons!

I've been playing WoW since Wrath of the Lich King, but was mostly active through Cataclysm,Mists, and WoD. I remember bringing down madness of Deathwing with my guild at normal. It was a moment of pure happiness, as it as my first full raid clear in the game with an organised team! Now, so many years after that moment, i still play for those feelings, the sense of awesomeness when you down a big evil guy and affect the world around you as time goes on.

The game is going through alot of changes and i have been a fan since vanilla.

But the main thing that I'm excited about are the artifact weapons. These are a fresh breeze in an old game that has a huge player base even after all these years. This system might be a game changer and i want to be a part of the change. Most of all I want to give back to the game that has given me so much by testing and reporting. I have been in several beta tests and I have given feedback every time.

 

I hope this expansion will be THE expansion so that everyone will think back as the "game changer".

The moment i heard karazhan was going to be an instance in legion I got a wee bit excited. not to mention at blizzcon when we all heard about the new transmorg system was going to be changed and implemented and how we would finally have free'd up more bag space the hype got real.

 

during throne of thunder I started to up my game as a progression raider and icy-veins was the first 'wow site' i jumped on to get a good look at boss fights before they came out live. At the time i was living in australia and due to the timezone differences i couldnt log on at 2am to do ptr testing. I know reading fights and doing them are two different things - but it helped me in the first week of normal and the following week doing heroics at the time :)

My favorite memories from WoW are the old 40-man vanilla raids and competing in the old PvP weekly ranking system. I was never particularly good at PvP, but it was always satisfying to rank up on reset day.

In Legion, as I no longer have the time I had 12 years ago, I most look forward to questing through the new zones and seeing how the story progresses. Maybe I'll dip back into PvP as well.

Im mostly looking forward to the artifact questlines, the lore and ofcourse the raids. What i enjoyed the most in the past in TBC, I don't know why, but then I could log in every day and I always had something relevant and fun to do. Let's hope that comes back!

My fondest memory is from back in vanilla.  We were leveling up and I was doing BRD for the first time on my first alt (Arms Warrior Hordeside) on my second server.  We were at a good level to do the prison wing, we were mostly in the same level range (no overlevels, much less overgearing).  We finished the prison and just decided, "You know what, let's see how far we can go..."

So that's what we did.  Levels started to climb (back in the day, BRD's level range stretched right up to 60, or near that in Thaurissan's case, I can't remember).  What I do know is that when we reached Thaurissan's chamber, after leveling a few times ourselves, his level was a skull.  It took us four tries to get him down and a lot of different stunts (including a rogue switching spec to assassination hybrid, which helped for some reason; I can't remember vanilla rogue builds all that well).  Beating BRD at that kind of level was one of my proudest moments.  Prouder than any raiding moment, because even the BWL core group hadn't done what we'd done.  And two of us were (at the time) randoms we found in LFG.  It didn't stay that way, they joined the guild after and we played together all the way through Wrath.

With Stephen Frost now part of Blizzard and directing Legion, I'm very excited to see what kind of rebirth we'll get.  He was a proponent of most of the really good stuff about Wildstar (before NCSoft started shucking their good devs and neutering anything in that game that separated it from the pack).  Hopefully, Frost can rebuild WoW by making WoW not just into a piece of generic fluff, the white bread of the industry, but into something lean and mean again.  I've never had as much faith that one dev could make that much of a difference, but if he turns WoW into half of what Wildstar was supposed to be, WoW should dominate the landscape again.

I'm looking forward to having an MMORPG actually try to kick my ass during the leveling process again, instead of kissing my ass straight through the endgame.

      Today, we release our Path of Exile site. It is not entirely finished yet, but the content is there and we felt comfortable sharing it with Path of Exile players from our current audience.
      This is a project that we have been working on for quite some time (so nothing to do with the recent Diablo announcements or lack thereof). We developed a CMS from the ground up, using our many years of experience with Icy Veins as a basis for the various features we required on the publishing side of the site. We also added things such as a proper item database or a dev tracker. These are things we can't have on Icy Veins, because the tech the site is running on would not permit it. Hopefully, one day we can run Icy Veins on our new tech and do all these things, if we feel like it.
      As I was saying above, the site is not 100% ready, but it is very close in terms of features. We worked hard in the past two weeks to fix all major bugs, so that end users can have a smooth experience, and we have enough content to cover the currently most popular builds. So we are waiting for your feedback!

      Currently you will find the following things on the site: guides and news for Path of Exile, an item database (still missing out a couple of base items), a dev tracker (Official Forums + Twitter + Reddit), and of course forums where people can discuss about that game.
      Our guide offering is currently as follows:
      Triple Herald Blade Vortex Elementalist Build Arc Mines Saboteur Build Guide Glacial Cascade Mines Saboteur Build Guide Ancestral Warchief Ascendant Build Guide Ascendant Hit Elemental Build Guide Aurabot Ascendant, 8 Auras Build Guide The Cleave Ascendant Build Guide Herald of Agony Occultist Build Guide Frostbolt/Glacial Cascade Totems Hierophant Build Guide Uber Labyrinth Farmer Juggernaut Build Guide Rain of Arrows Deadeye Build Guide Tornado Shot Deadeye Build Guide The Baron Zombies/Skeletons Necromancer Build Guide Toxic Rain Pathfinder Build Blade Flurry Gladiator Build Guide Spectral Throw Raider Build Guide Cyclone Slayer Build Guide We also have a beginner guide for fresh exiles.
      With all that said, we're hoping to see you on that new website and are looking forward to your comments!
      Please welcome our newest website on Path of Exile!
