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

Recommended Posts

I'm really looking forward to trying out a class I've never really played, I really like the look of the update to Enhancement and wielding Doomhammer. I can't wait to play my Ret and take up Ashbringer too. Demon Hunter's look too fun and I can't wait to try them out

 

My favourite moment in WoW would probably have to be just after WotLK released and I got my Paladin to level 80 after trying out Death Knights, I loved the lore and fantasy behind both classes and switching between the two.

I can't wait for Legion, there is so many interesting and fun things coming out. I hope I can be able to test out the transmog system and new pvp system. This would be my first beta.but I really look forward to being able to help make the game better before it goes live. From reading Icy Veins site I learned that some of my rotations on characters were quite stupid, and corrected it which boosted my healing, and dps. Happy 5th year Anniversary, you guys have helped many people.

Demo lock and afflict lock and destro lock, basically all kinds of lock. I have seen some footage of Demolock gameplay and it looks really promising, cant wait to get my hands on one.

I'm looking forward to a lot in Legion.

 

The class changes (Prot Pala and Boomkin mostly!), the focus on Old Gods/Legion lore from further in the Warcraft past, instead of the mostly new stuff from WoD.

 

I'm excited for the new animations for classes too, which I believe will make the game feel a lot smoother and more fun to play.

 

The artifact weapon system is something I'm happy about, I adore weapons that grow or feel like they have a personality or soul, and another form of progression for characters will be a way to keep me playing on one character, as opposed to the alt-hopping I'm currently doing.

 

I might even PvP this expansion!

 

My only fear is that I might not get a group of 5 to stick with the game properly to run challenge modes. I've had poor luck with groups and guilds in the past.

I'm excited for Legion and all the massive overhauls.  I feel like WoD had an incredible amount of potential that didn't quite work out so I'm optimistic that Legion will correct all the missteps in WoD.

 

I started playing WoW in 2008, about three months before Wrath came out.  One of my favorite memories was my first (and favorite) instance: Deadmines.  Me and two of my friends 3 manned it over the course of two and a half hours.  I was a Warlock and my buddies were a rogue and a pally.  We used my voidwalker to tank the whole thing. I've been hooked on pve content ever since.  

 

I'm currently a Frost DK and I'm looking forward to rerolling to a healer for Legion.  Really want to get into the beta so I can try out both druid and shaman and see how the changes feel!

 

I've also recently moved in with two of my good friends who also play WoW.  We have an extra bedroom that has become "command central" with all of our desktops and a speaker system for music. Looking forward to us all grouping up and leveling thru Legion and doing the new content together.

Five years? Five years simultaneously seems too long ago and too recent to be true. Thank-you for allowing me to progress from panicked cramming of information before a PuG, to successfully leading others in our endeavours. I enjoyed the little anecdote about Icy Veins' beginning.

  I am really happy with all I have seen of Legion so far. Sitting with my irl partner eating Hallowe'en candy watching the Blizzcon panels, in awe at the new zones. The new PvP system is intriguing and should help with balance. The levelling system, innovative... but I particularly love the reinforcing of each class. The insanity-instilling shadow priests, the melee hunter, the master-of-minions demo lock! THE WARDROBE. It all looks very promising. You've gotten my hyped about this potential beta key now... Well done. Thank-you for the opportunity and everything you've provided to the community in these five years. 

 

 

Also... demon hunters, baby.

As a twink and a 70 hunter player I've been looking forward to being able to use my Trollbane for years. I kept it, with Mongoose enchanted on it, in my bank forever, hoping that one day we'll be able to use it again.

 

That day has come and I shall Wing Clip, Raptor Strike and whatever other melee abilities they add, the hell out of your legs.

Well it´s hard to say what I´m looking for in Legion since there is so much good in it. But I´d say top ones are demo lock changes because I´ve always thought since metamorphosis it to be about summoning demons not turning to them so I´m glad it´s finally happening. Also the skull artifact is really unique, as well I like the idea of artifact weapons giving more customisation than just giving one more talent row.

PvP changes looks so nice I might actually play it big time.

 

Hmmh I´ve played since vanilla I could go hours about how great it was but I´d say greatest thing about it all has been my always shammy friend who´s played with me it from start all this time. Nothing can replace those memories and I hope I can make more of those in Legion as well.

Other than that I recall vividly is this one time in ICC HC proggressing Lady Darkwhisper and some of you may know her shield ability that when it runs out she is taunt immune. That time I was competing as hunter against my guild rogue in dps and raid leader aka tank was yelling in teamspeak to us since we´re ping ponging the boss with missdirects and feigndeath/vanish. So much fun :D  

 

Anyways can´t wait for awesomenes Legion brings.

Looking forward to trying out the new melee hunter spec.   Very excited that they are making hunter specs different from each other.    Looking forward to artifacts, but my BM hunter would prefer a bow to a gun.

I am looking forward to the class artifact weapons the most. It should add a new motivation for dusting off some of the old characters and also trying out the Demon Hunter class. As a druid main, I am excited to see the different artifact shapeshift forms.

 

I think the new Honor system will rekindle my interest in the PvP side of WoW as well.

I have been a main frost mage for 2 years and am very exited for the mage changes in Legion. The new frost mastery looks much more engaging in the rotation with multiple frost orbs out than the 6.2.3 WoD icicles.  Furthermore as a raider I love that PvE gear and PvP gear will be turned into just gear so that we can gear however we choose whether we have guild members avalible or not. This will speed up que times at end game and aid all players. My main concern will be Demon Hunters being over-powered like death knights in Wrath of the Litch King.

My biggest hopes are that this professions revamp idea is engaging and fun, also I hope that arms warrior is finnaly enjoyable for me to play as it has not been in WoD.

The new PvP system looks really interesting. I'm really excited for challenge modes and all the class changes and artifact weapons! I'm also curious about the lore. Looking forward to seeing what happens to Illidan.

The biggest thing that I am looking forward to in Legion is the story. After going through Wod, and say what you will about it, the story telling during the leveling process was amazing. I'm so excited to see the expanded class lore coming from both the class halls and the artifact weapons. And as a sucker for anything Illidan related I can't wait to see what they do with him and the Illidari.

However the greatest moment of my wow history was the first time my guild and I were able to take down the Lich King. That fight was the culmination of a story years in the making and the moment that Frostmourne shattered will always stick with me. It also may have something to do with the countless wipes on him as well.

I have played off and on since BC but did not truly get into the spirit of the game and raiding until MoP. I accept that I will never be part of a "realm first" group but have completely enjoyed the dgs and raids in WoD.  They have done a wonderful job of creating challenging content.  The timewalker events have been especially fun for our guild as it has allowed us to enjoy older content as a group and it still be a challenge.  It has also led to some fun bouts of nostalgia as various members recount their memories of those instances.

 

I do not even know where to begin on my excitement for Legion.  The  class changes to fire mage and demonology warlock are probably my most anticipated but the Demon Hunter is very close in the race (they had me at "double jump").  I think the separation of pvp and pve will offer many more options to the devels.  The new transmog system looks very nice and, of course, who can forget the artifact weapon.  In short, I don't know that I have heard a single thing about Legion that I have not at least thought "well that might be interesting"..

I can't wait for Legion!  

 

Even though the focus is more Burning Legion based, I'm actually really hoping to see some influence and appearances from the Old Gods at some point; particularly N'Zoth and what he has been doing under the ocean and with the Naga. Some of my most memorable experiences have been exploring the Old God lore and raiding in Ulduar.  

 

I'm pretty excited to also get my hands on Felo'Melorn. Having such as cool and epic weapon lore-wise for a Fire Mage is interesting. I'm hoping that the new artifact traits and the new talent systems will provide a new and refreshing way at which we all play our classes.

      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!
