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

Recommended Posts

I've been looking forward to Legion for a long time. I love the overall lore and story behind the Legion, as well as getting to see the new Artifact weapons, and explore a whole new landmass.  I have been hoping WoW would add some kind of Alternate Advancement (similar to EQ's) for a long time, and it seems that the Artifact Power is just that, and I cant wait to dive into it.  The new animations, and the combat sounds are awesome from what I have seen from the videos.  As for a personal moment. it was in game a long time ago, back when my guild was working on Nefarian in BWL. First night of attempts, and I learned that you cannot speak in vent and FRAPS at the same time, as it would feedback the game sounds at a bajillion decibels into the microphone lol. You can actually hear them telling me not to speak in our kill video.  Well, here is hoping I get picked.

I'm looking forward to practically all of the rogue changes. Especially excited for the new melee hunters. And can't wait to try out the demon hunter class. They seem pretty awesome so far from what I've seen.

Really excited for the aesthetic aspect of the Artifact weapons! I'm a huge transmog fan so it'll keep me occupied for a long, long time over all my characters.
Favourite WoW moment would be getting my first AOTC (Ahead of the Curve) kill ever, which was in Highmaul. It was the tier which flung me into raiding as a whole, this expansion i've gone from casual to mythic raider :) (9/13m atm)

I hope to meet all specializations of the class, as the story will develop and test the raid to enter the live prepared for the meetings. I hope also the class hall, I know how that influenced the gameplay of the classes specifically hunter

I'm looking forward to seeing what the incredible art team has cooked up for us and what raids and dungeons we have in store! Raiding has always been my favorite thing to do in WoW (and the raids were great in WoD), so I'm super stoked to raid in Legion.

Legion, in my opinion, is looking great. All of the classes are looking awesome, obviously still some balancing issues to go, but still, it looks awesome. I, personally, are having difficulty deciding on what class and spec to play in Legion, i have a couple in mind. Which Legion Beta would help me decide what to play on launch day. I still remember when i first started playing back in Cataclysm and i used to think that the Dice icon meant that we would just roll for it to sell, then i found out i had been ninja-ing items for a good couple months without knowing it. Everyone was a noob once i suppose haha. With regards to Legion, i love the idea of each class becoming more orientated around the fantasy that surrounds it. It will be fun to learn most the classes again and to see how their backstory weaves into their abilities. I do feel however that yes ability pruning was semi needed for most classes with all of the new abilities, i feel too much was pruned and that almost all of the classes are becoming the same with CC, offensive CD's, Defensive ones etc. Each class should be distinctly different. But yeah, with regards to certain Lore happenings in Legion, that we know of, I feel that Legion will have a potential epic story line, like it has had over and over again across many expansions. I currently play with a small group of very close friends, and i felt that 20 man mythic would threaten this as we would have to join a large guild to raid at the high end, But with the new Dungeon system, i feel that we could play just us once again (only if the rewards will be on par with raiding gear, which i hope it will be for the hardest difficulties), which i have extremely missed since 10man mythic/heroic back in MoP, it felt a lot more personal back then and everything you did was more of an impact on whether you killed the boss or not. My favourite raiding moment was when we killed Heroic (before it was changed to mythic)Thok 10man in Siege. It took us nearly 100 attempts but the feeling once we finally killed was amazing

I am so excited to see the artifact weapons lore (guardian druid especially) and the changes they did for all classes/specs.

I'm most looking forward to the new artifact weapon system, as I've missed the old style of talent trees and this brings them back in a way. My favorite moment in WoW was finally killing the Lich King, he's my favorite raid boss by far of all the raids I've been through.

I started playing this game about 2 1/2 months ago.  I play on a new player server and it doesn't seem like it has a button of people on it.  I've heard so much about the golden age of WoW where tons of people were on at all times.  Super active raids, and the general atmosphere is different.

 

What I'm looking forward to most is the thrill, the rush, the experience of playing in that crowded, active atmosphere.  It excites me to think its possible to play with that many people active at one time.  I really want to experience the feeling of a new expansion on release.  It sounds amazing, so many new players start and so many veterans returning, GAHHH! I want to be in the middle of all that

I am looking forward to coming back to WoW after, what, 2 years? Stoked to play the Demon Hunter because I have always had a bit of a brocrush on Illidan. Lemme put it this way, if he lived on earth I feel like when he wasn't betraying his race or slaughtering innocents he might be able to kick back and drink a beer with the buds, y'know?The hardest decision I have right now is trying to pick a class to boost to 100. Do I go with the soft, yet sensual Night Elf Druid? Or should I go with the big dick Tauren Shaman?So hard to choose

Honestly, the thing I'm most excited about for legion is new content. I thought WOD wasn't great, but I also didn't think it was awful. I don't play the game as much as I used to so I was able to prolong the game for much longer. I actually still have very few heroic kills as I generally play while watching TV or solo old raids for transmog. I'm very excited for the new transmog system as well!

Looking forward most to playing the new demon hunter class, and learning more about their lore. Also looking forward to those "wow" moments when you walk into a new zone, dungeon or raid and are totally taken by the visuals and sound and the immersion of it all. As for favorite moments in the game, I can think of many but the first funny moment was way back during TBC when me and two irl friends rolled our first toons, and my friend's lowbie gnome warrior got himself stuck under a log in the dwarf starting zone. He was borderline panicking and for whatever reason it was just beyond hilarious. Other favorite moments include downing very challenging bosses with our guild throughout the last several expansions, including heroic deathwing (and heroic spine leading up to it

Been playing since BC and still in love with this game. All the ups and downs, still hanging in there. What I'm looking forward to the most is seeing where Blizzard is going to take us next. What direction the story and heroes go. The lore, the characters, the class changes.

I have been waiting for Illidan's return and Demon Hunter xpac for so long. All the changes coming are interesting. But my favorite point so far are ALL these class reworks and change to sloppy ones. I'm a big fan of melee DPS, and those Warriors and DK changes look so sweet. A more on point transmog system for veteran. Still hoping they better use this area.

Well my favorite part about a lot of blizzard work is the story the lore and this time I'm excited and broken the part that breaks my heart brings me low cuts me deep is the news in King Varian Wrynn dyeing the strong king that has led the mighty alliance through so much. And that leads me to the disappearance of Vol'jin, now I was never the biggest fan of the new war chief but he was steadfast in the destruction of garrosh and was a stable force and he had the support of my boy thrall but what's happened to him ? Now to the queen everyone loves to hate Sylvanas Windrunner is the new Warchief in action the great banshee queen in my opinion this was a long time in the making and if she had not been so hell bent on hatred and retaliation and then did not feel overlooked and led to more hatred then she would have made a Great War chief she is strong a great leader she is intelligent analytical an obvious decision but what will her hatred for everyone and everything lead to ? So yes a lot to be sad about but a lot to look at and see how things will change and what will happen

Personally for me I am most excited for seeing some of these major lore characters get some air time during this expansion it should be interesting to see how the stories of all the people involved in the expansion will change or possibly even end in the expansion. I am so excited to finally see Night Elf architecture as well

I'm looking forward to Legion, because I can't wait to try out Demon Hunters. I felt like the game was missing another agile class and double jump just sounds amazing. I also want to see how the new animations will look like on my warrior.

      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!
