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

[clevermistakes 0]

I know it's been said 1000 times already but I'm curious about Artifact Weapons.

 

The reason I say this: They're generally the same, and they have a ton of variation in look and design per character, but it's people building on the same base. So what I'm curious to see if the player base homogenizes this, and makes it the same 'best setup' or if it's a unique choice that doesn't have such a major impact on gameplay that you really get to explore this yourself. Kind of like the idea behind Talents/Glyphs as they are implemented now.

 

What seemed to happen with Blizzard's idea of 'unique choices, no 'needed' talents' was just the opposite, there are some talents that are very much 'required' for a specific spec. 

 

Will it be the same with artifact weapons? Or will we be able to stamp our own unique voice onto our WoW toons once and for all?! *Cue dramatic Days of Our Lives music*

Looking forward to levelling for sure and also the PVP honor system to gain prestige :)

What I'm really looking forward to in Legion is both the new raids and the artifact questlines for each class/spec! Both for whatever story lies behind them, but most of all which important NPC's we may interact with and/or kill. Plus, any new raids excite me due to the fight mechanics(at least some have a good chance of being new.

 

As for in the past...well, I'll admit that I miss attunement. I have fond memories of attuning during TBC, so I'm probably looking at it with nostalgia-tinted glasses. Oh, and I kinda miss how gems were in the past.

Happy Birthday! Legion is going to be fun!

 

 

Blizzard is love story which started for me with Diablo, in the 90's. I still believe it to be one of there best games ever. You can clear it mutltiple times in a day. It's basic and fun. Diablo 2 never captured me in the same way. Never had the same ambiance as the old Tristram, dark and spooky!

 

Then I discovered World of Warcraft and missed Diablo III, which I actually like way more, although I never purchased it. I was to busy with World of Warcraft, which I quit for the last few months.

The legendary ring lurking in my shipyard/garisson on my Warlock since then and my shaman not being far from it.

Maybe I should get them before next expansion goes live?

 

When I started l paying World of Warcraft on trial, that game already was so HUGE, I not even found out there was a level 70 endgame and stil lhad fun (hence BC), until Warth of the Lich King hit, and went desperate on twinking, because I had no access to a main carrying.

I still managed to have some pretty descent 19-39'sand loads of fun in battlegrounds.

 

Warth of the Lich King being the first expansion I played the endgame; I regret the times a lot. I even more regret that I missed BC endgame and had to level to 70 there in times where BC was deserted, almost boring and very hard to pass through and manage dungeons. luckily all this was made easier and less annoying.

It gave a really bad image of that part of the game to me.

Afterwards, now, I can imagine how fun and loved that expansion must have been, although if difficult. How much Blizzard and the players learned from it, how innovating it was. For example Enhance shaman raid boss tanking, because not all your tanks showed up for the raid and with that keeping up with the one of the top guilds on that realm.

That's kind of "meta"-lore that the game creates, stories people tell you in your garisson in WoD. However I agree a bit, garissons were a bit destroying the social interaction in the game, but the corwded and "laggy" Dalaran (Wotlk) at spike times had it's issues also.

 

Then I rejoined the game end Mists of Pandaria, I never liked the Pandas nore Pandaria very much, now I love them and their lore, simply cute. =D Unfortunately I never manged to have my Panda Monk hit endgame until Warlords, Monks are fun and must have been even more challenging during MoP, if you knew the odds and ends. =P Luckily we got Icy Veins, to be a bit less "newbie" and manage to follow up int the game and to remain up to date

Very usefull webstite for a "Blizzard-gamer". if there is such a thing, but they manage to create games with such dedication and fascination, call it lt passion or love? Unlike any others, if it's your game-type. Maybe a bit to "addictive". 

 

I enjoyed Warlords, though the release wasn't always comfortable and very unbalanced for some classes and Blizzard messed up with for example enhance-shamans, which weren't easy to level to 100, if not annoying, whereas (of course a little better geared) 96 warrior you could kill and assist clearing levlel 100's world elites.

People yelling at you: "What the heck, you aren't supposed to be here in a 100 area at 96!", me, "Yeah, I know, but I already got my Warlock and Shaman at 100 and I am just trying out how far we can go.", and then you helped them in their fight for their dailies.

The boundaries, I think that's also what Blizzard does in gaming, they push the limits and throughout that are able to create massive fun and an experience for people, unlike many other games or gaming companies.

 

At the start of Warlords, I believed that Mists of Pandaria, might have been slightly better, more fullfilled, complete, but over the time I found Warlords pretty atractive and challenging, except the garrison camping, a very nice, also if short expansion. Lorewise very interesting and partialy allowing me to play/revisit an ancient part of the game (BC), which I unfortunately missed out and allowing to catch up lorwise (I've never been a big reader and not know all details of Warcraft lore, but I love them). and how the Burniing Crusuade conflict orginated.

Unfortunately, I am pretty sure playing the original BC was more fun.

However, to see all those landscapes, some before they were shattered, and also with actual, meaning more enhanced graphics, Gorgeous!

Nagrand, for me personally, in Warlords really feels how it should, because of the brightness and that shinny landscape which grapahics and technic probably didn't allow during the BC-era and now it felt just right, I still find the BC Nagrand a bit deserted/dead and unshinny.  

 

World of Warcraft is more then a game it's also a legend, a story. a universe and not just a game without lore, almost like reading a book, in which you can simultanousely participate in writing it.

 

The "Timewalking"-events were an awesome addition to the game to let revive all the nostalgia and era's of the game played in the last 12-15 years. 

 

All we can see, read and hear about Legion sounds very promissing. I expect a lot and hope not to be deceived. It should become an expansion like BC, Wotl, MoP, really huge and fullfilled, complete and rich in content.

 

Ashbringer, there're myths about that weapon since World of Warcraft and original Naxxrama, finally it's gonna be equipable. Freaking!!! Why didn't I ever finish  leveling a paladin, now the time!

And Demon Hunters, there'll be sooooooo much to discover... Great.

 

Kind regards.

 

See you in Legion and the next 15 years,

All these class changes in Legion look awesome, can't wait to satiate my altoholism!

[metronome1189 0]

Honestly, the biggest thing I'm excited for is just fresh content.  I also love the Legion as an antagonist, and it could drive for some very strong and compelling raid/world content, so I'm looking forward to that.  Also, the feral druid is looking fantastic.

 

The prestige system should be pretty dope as well.

 

What I enjoyed the most in the past: 10man raiding.  It was fun going into raids with a tight-knit group of guildies/friends and downing challenging raid content together. Kara, Ulduar, ICC10, all really fun raids that were made a lot better by being in a 10man group.  I'll miss having that, as I raid with mythic now and it's strictly 20man, but I still do enjoy raiding in its current format as well.

 

Thanks for the giveaway, good luck all :D

[d0n0van2 0]

I am looking forward to all of the hunter class changes!

[ToObeyIsLife 0]

Looking forward to the frost mage changes, hoping glacial spike is good, and i can finally get rid of my Welly!

[Azzofkhan 0]

I'm really interested in pushing Emerald Nightmare and Suramar Palace. I've recently joined a US top 200 guild and am raiding mythic on two characters. I anticipate that I will be killing Archimonde soon.

 

At this point, I am looking forward to the new raid tier. Beta would be great for me because I would spend all my time raid testing so that I can learn the ins and outs for when progression starts.

 

I have also completed challenge modes in Draenor. Unfortunately, that only lasted for a few hours because there is no reason to do them once you get gold. However, I am looking forward to the greater rift style of challenge modes.

 

I will also be required to play my priest and death knight at a world class level so I am looking forward to learning all the new styles and changes that happen to my classes!

I'm looking forward to a lot of things in legion I'm not a hardcore raider or pvp player but i do enjoy both of those aspects just for fun. I'm looking forward to experiencing all the artifact questlines firsthand as i have been watching videos for the artifact quests done by bellular and preach on youtube not too mention all the amazing looking new dungeons and questing areas as most of my memories have been from questing in wow and raiding those things have made me meet a lot of new people and friends throughout my time playing since wrath.

[CallMeEspi 0]

Can't wait for the changes to Shadow Priest and Disc Priest in Legion. Both specs are really getting reworked, and I'm PUMPED!

[Raplith 0]

I'm looking forward seeing how demon hunter tanks play! Monks are starting to lose their touch and I'm ready for something else!

[Electrifire 0]

Looking forward to the interesting, unique class halls and weapons, and the newest hero class.

[Karakis 0]

i'm really excited for the artifact weapons and the class halls!

[feanamon 0]

I'm most excited about the transmogrify system. I have been running so many things saving up all this old gear to learn when it goes live my bags on all my alts are getting full!

[kurangceret 0]

Can't wait for legion to unwrap the uncontinued story from MoP. WoD feels like a pause off to the main story, which pissess me off.

[TheLegendPaul 0]

There's a lot im excited for artifacts, transmog updates, and especially pvp since thats where I spend most of my time. I'm really hoping the lore goes in a good and interesting direction as well

[Bolbi 0]

Im super excited for all the new lore coming in this expansion! holding these all powerful artifacts is going to feel so satisfying

[Adoor 0]

I am really happy about the future of the new Tabard/transmog system! I have been trying to farm the arathor on my hunter which I already have on my priest and it has been a huge struggle.

 

furthermore I'm also really looking forward to a future where melee hunter is back being a thing, I'm so ready for this!!!!!!

 

as for things i'm going to miss are some of my class abilities that are sadly loss in the coming future and hopefully with the new Pvp and weapon talent system I will get the feeling that I will not have lost a lot, with blizzard adding new things back to the alpha recently one can only hope

I am really looking forward to a positive player base. I want people to be excited and have faith in blizzard again. And on Bliz side I want a game to be proud of something new and exciting and everything that we have been missing! I really think Legion will deliver I cant wait!

[Frmorrison 0]

I am excited about the artifacts and having three specs.

[Straitzz 0]

Hey wassup IV, this will probably sound really corny but I'm hella excited for the idea of Tank class dehomogenisation... Why? because My friend and I started as  tanking buddies in Cataclysm (Blood Dk and Guardian druid) and we've tanked through each tier of raiding until my friend quit at the end of MoP due to tanking become quite simple and almost dps-like, with the legion changes we've both become excited for the dehomogenisation of tanks in particular with pain driven DH's and the ability to establish a unique tanking spec using the artifact traits. See y'all on the Broken Isles!

[Admelein 0]

I'm excited for my Fire Mage Artifact in Legion, Felo'melorn. I love the lore behind it, and I will be rocking it all the time once Legion comes live.

 

One of my favourite moments in WoW is raiding Stormwind with a few guildies (PvE guild) And because of our PvE gear, it took forever for the Alliance to kill us. It was like 7 of us 2-3 heals and rest dps, fighting about 20+ ally.

[Elmora 0]

I'm really looking forward to playing a shadow priest in legion. It was so much fun in cata with the tier set and now the insanity mechanic sounds exactly like the playstile I like.
