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

Recommended Posts

The thing I would have to be most excited about in legion, even as a raider, would have to be the story. The small things I have seen of the Shaman class story stuff has made me super excited. I have been for a long time now a huge fan of the wow lore and they are doing some cool stuff in legion that I can't wait to see. They are doing some really cool stuff with the classes and especially with my main spec enhancement shaman, basically completely revamping it and I love the way it looks. My favorite memory would have to be when I started raiding. I joined wow later than some, not actually starting to play untill late WotLK, so I didn't start raiding untill cata, Firelands specifically. Those were great times, I met a lot of great people and learned to really love raiding, something that I have pursued since then.

I'm looking forward to all of the Monk and Warlock changes, but I'm really wondering how the Challenge Mode scaling is going to work and that has me excited. One of my best memories of WoW was back in Burning Crusade. It was most of the expansion to be honest. I was new to raiding and loved every minute of it. I also found a guild that somehow put up with my shenanigans. I might have disliked it at the time, but we were all pretty close and really enjoyed doing stuff outside of raids. It's really difficult to find a group to do that type of stuff with now-a-days

I'm really hoping it breathes new life into the game. I can't wait to try all of the new stuff with my friends, and to introduce my girlfriend to Azeroth and her first expansion release

My opinion of what Legion is going to be like for me is "SO MANY ARTIFACTS." I'm really looking forward to artifacts and the new upgrades that come along it. I can't wait till I am able to gather artifacts for all classes.

Im really looking forward to meet all the players who decided to come back. As a vanilla wow player i really enjoy a game launch just to dig up those old memories. The reason i would like acces to the beta would be because im really looking forward testing those new abilities and I love theorycrafting! Well.. Fingers crossed! :)

I can't wait to see the BM hunter changes for myself and see their artifact. Having an extra pet, Hati, will be awesome for the class fantasy as well as add something new to the class. I also can't wait to see the quest line for the artifact as well.

I'm really looking forward to bringing back my laser chicken. I was not a fan of the eclipse system they implemented in WoD, but the changes in legion are looking very positive. This also applies to every single spec as well. I love how much effort they put into making each class and spec unique and it's fantastic. I hope they continue to put in the effort throughout the expansion and make Legion the best expansion ever.

I wasn't around for Burning Crusade which I hear was the best experience vanilla players all share.  For Legion I want to experience the Burning Legion's tale which I assume has been altered with how Garrosh tampered with things.  I want to finally face Guldan, that guy is so evil but so elusive and crafty that pinning him down is impossible. Very excited for the new expansion and I plan to buy it once it gets closer to the drop. In the past I loved taking down the Lich King, Death Wing and finally Garrosh.  I loved how archaeology was added to the game back in Cata it helped me create a neat mount, unique weapons, and hopefully I can get that sand mount to drop one of these days

I am looking forward to finally coming face to face with Gul'dan. He was killed in warcraft 2, but having the chance in World of Warcraft to face him off is an amazing opportunity and I really hope Blizzard delivers. Also, getting a chance to be with Illidan is awesome, and I don't need to explain how amazing that is . At last, I believe most classes look very solid, and really connect with its identity

I've been an avid WoW player since about a year after it was released. This game has been a massive success and a huge source of enjoyment for me for about a decade, which really is crazy to think about. One of my favorite WoW memories is progressing through Icecrown Citadel 10 man with a guild a few friends and I built from the ground. Each new progression boss kill felt like a huge achievement as we had all worked very hard. We ended up in one of the server's best guilds at the end of the expansion though. Legion has me very excited; I feel like it has a lot of promise, and could be one of WoW's best expansions in a while. The whole idea of artifact weapons seems so cool to me; it'll also possess the old style of talent tree which I had a particular fondness for. As a Warcraft III player also, Demon Hunters seem amazing and I can't wait to try them out!

P.S. Thanks for the great guides guys, keep up the good work!

I can't wait for Legion. My boys played WOW when they were young and now give me grief for being addicted. It's exciting for a new expansion, it gets better and better.

This is pretty exciting! I hope i get chosen!

The main thing i am looking forward to in Legion is the idea of collecting all of the artifact weapons for each class. I am currently leveling all the classes to 100 and plan on spending alot of time after launch getting all of them to 110, and begin the process of collecting all of the artifacts.

LEGION!!!!!!!!

As Illidan is my favorite person in all of WOW I can't wait for Legion. I am looking forward to playing a DH and the new transmog and pvp stuff sounds awesome

To me, it looks like an expansion that Blizzard have worked their butts off to make amazing (in my opinion). I am excited to explore the zones (leveling them in different orders), getting to experience the dungeons, and, for myself personally, I will be starting an expansion in a raiding guild and progressing with them. That is something that I couldn't do at the start of WoD due to still getting better at the game and choosing what I wanted to main (which meant I was too late for the progression train ). But it seems like Legion is going to be a good expansion and I am excited to play it.   A fond memory would be November 25, 2015 (I know so long ago) when I got to raid with Critical Hit - Proudmoore killing Heroic Mannoroth and Archimonde and getting my moose mount. I couldn't stop shaking for the rest of the night and had so much adrenaline the next day from that event (being the only pug in the group full of 13/13 M raiders). Definitely is a memory that is gonna stick with me for a long time

I'm looking forward to alot of things that come with Legion. First off, launch night. Nothing beats a World of Warcraft launch. The feeling of starting fresh and embarking on a whole new adventure that will last years with the content provided is second to none. Rearranging work or school and wrecking your sleep schedule to maximize the new experience is a fact of life for any diehard WOW fan.  I cannot wait to upgrade my artifact weapons across all my different characters. I can't wait to explore the new areas and dungeons. I can't wait to do the keystone dungeons. I just can't wait for Legion.  Over the last decade of playing off and on, the thing that keeps me still playing or coming back after a break are the people I meet and play with. Like many I have created friendships over playing a game. Friendships that have lasted many years and include meeting up in person like so many have, usually at a far distance from home. In the end, whenever I'm done playing it's by far the most favorite moment I will take away.

In Legion, I'm looking forward to a new sense of class identity and more variety to each spec/class in general.  I had always preferred class identity over faction identity so having class-specific halls feels very in tune with my characters and makes them feel like they are the proven of their class.  Creating new characters with different classes provides a whole new style of gameplay that is fun and unique to each class that adds much more replay value to the game in general.  If you limit yourself to one class it feels like you are missing out on 10/11 of the game.  With Legion coming out I want to experiment with each class to find the right playstyle for me and become high arena rating with it.  Thanks for doing this giveaway and good luck to the other participants!

The features I'm waiting for the most are: Wardrobe. I'm suffocated in items on my most played character, to the point that doing any content becomes a nightmare of not wanting to get new items because I'll have to decide if they'll be hard to get later or not. It won't be as good as it needs to (because of silly anti-account wide limitations), but at least it will empty a lot of bags. They give each attack a new level of feedback that the game was sorely lacking. I'm dying to try how do the they feel. I can only hope Blizzard will keep adding skill-specific animations where appropriate, and even make new spellcasting animations too (with the option to use the weapon while casting). Other than that, I'm very excited to try out my rogue's pistol too º,.,º I've been playing Combat since the Burning Crusade (I started playing when it was announced), and it always has been my preferred class and specialization. I have always seen combat rogues as the "dashing swordsman", and although Legion's take on the spec is a bit too "piratey focused", I think it meshes well with the image I've always had. I'll just have to cut the "arrs" short  I'm usually very open minded with class changes. The most "to be expected" exciting part of every new expansion is that they always shake up [most] classes, even if they almost always end up cutting some fun non-rotational ability. I still miss Eyes of the Beast or Mind Soothe, and I hope they return someday.

      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!
