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

Recommended Posts

Recently, I thought our story as Dks became irrelevant so I was more than overjoyed to hear about the upcoming DK lore in Legion, and I wont give away any spoilers in case you want to play through it But I'm more than happy with what Blizzard decided to do with the Lich king and Dks. Pretty much why I want to play Legion so bad   Also, one of my best memories was when I first started playing WoW I was a nelf hunter (duh XD ) and I became part of a roleplaying guild and we would just perform in SW and it was the greatest thing ever because I had no idea what I was doing because I was also rolling with fire enchants . Fire +Arrows = Flaming Arrows <3

Gul'dan must DIE i am so sick of him ruining everything so I just cannot wait to pierce his  fel heart with my bow : Thasdorah Legacy of the Windrunners. In terms of my fondest memories it was quite recent where i began raiding at the leg end of ToT in MoP managed to clear 11/13 h in the one month leading to SoO and then in SoO got through to Garrosh and cleared 13/14h (old) before WoD prepatch dropped. Then in WoD i took a step back and raided heroic as i didnt want to get into mythic and I ended up with full heroics on all tiers of WoD. So my fondest memories lie in MoP when i took the leap from being an lfr noob and started normal raiding all the way to now :D.

I'm looking forward to a lot of things about Legion. I like that Blizzard is starting to 'lock down' the lore with books like Chronicle, and it seems the book has quite a bit of synergism with the upcoming expansion. I love the changes to leveling and questing

There's a lot to look forward to in Legion, if Blizzard can deliver on what they've outlined so far. I think the artifact system is a really cool idea, to start with. Relying on RNG or PVP (which I usually don't enjoy) to get weapon upgrades has historically been my least favorite - and unluckiest - part of gearing up each expansion. Having your weapon be your weapon, growing in power reliably(.) alongside your character, is going to be awesome. The new challenge mode system is probably my most-anticipated feature. Five-man dungeons have always been my favorite content in WoW, and seeing them become almost entirely irrelevant to character progression in Mists and Warlords has really bummed me out. Being able to gear up in consistently challenging dungeons with a small group sounds extremely exciting to me. Diablo 3's greater rifts are a really fun system, and I'm hopeful that the new CMs can capture some of that magic. Demon Hunters, obviously, are another high point. Who doesn't want to try out a new class? I have no idea if I'll actually enjoy playing a DH, but I really look forward to finding out

As many out there, I'm looking forward to the release of the demon hunter hero class. Tanking has always been my favorite role in WoW, and having played the other tank specs to death I am really looking forward to a variance in playstyle and mechanics (brewmaster did nothing for me). However - more importantly, and what I'm really looking forward to is the draw Legion is having towards all my old friends who have moved on from WoW or chased other MMO's during Warlords. I have probably 5 - 6 old gaming buddies (going back to Vanilla) that will be coming back to play during Legion. Really pumped for that more than anything. There's just something about a WoW xpac that keeps bringing us back, take that, then throw in Illidan and artifacts? GG

I can't wait to test all of the new class changes to see what is viable for RBGs, look at all the new spell animations learn the new class changes. I'm mainly a healer and really looking forward to play some Mistweaver in PvP

I mostly look forward to how the lore will evolve, finally going into the Nightmare, fighting the Legion as so on, also who the last boss of the expac will be. In terms of gameplay, I'm interested in how they will handle the new CM system to balance it with raiding as it should be its endgame counterpart to lower groups of people. Artifacts are a little bit fan service but it will be interesting to uncover the way they will get rid of them when moving into the next expansion

First of all, I am most excited about the PvP talents, and seeing where the monk class is headed to (playstyle wise). I've been playing monk since release, going through good and bad times. My fondest memory would be hitting 2600 in 3s durimg WoDs first season, my first season I ever participated in and I hope to achieve even higher ratings in the future. Playing Legion to get an early preview would be great to find my class' niche. Also, seeing what I am cappable of to do with my character would allow me to have some great PvP moments come Legion.Of course, being able to play my own "Illidan" will be awesome too. Ever since I played WoW for the first time in TBC, Illidan became my favourite lore character. Seeing how the demon hunter class shapes up in PvP would be interesting to experience first hand, instead of watching streams.Thanks for the giveaway, there may not be many keys, but I do hope to get one

I am really looking forward to Legion. But besides that I think this is going to be a "bend of brake" kind of situation. If this expansion disappoints players as much as WoD did I think a lot of players will leave the game. But I have good hope that the next expansion will be a good one, it looks great from what I have seen so far. And can't wait to dive in the new content.

My bags are most looking forward to getting some space and the wardrobe feature. Personally I am very much looking forward to the return of class quests artifact chains.Of course none of it will be any good compared to the glorious vanilla days which I can remember with perfect clarity. Even the 6man UBRS run my guild did when I was very drunk one night and where my warlocks attempts at providing cc mostly resulted in feared mobs pulling the next two packs

I'm excited for all DK runes being death runes and the new pvp system being more about skill then it is about gear.

A lot of people with just 1 post.  I'm looking forward to Legion because it reminds me of The Burning Crusade expac, which was my first.We had this little guild with friends and tried to level up together. It took ages. We started when the expac was released and hit 70 when Black Temple was open.Still, we managed to go heroics, eventually Kharazan and Hyjal, cleared the content step by step and kept playing. After a while everyone left the game. Now, what I'm looking forward to is that everyone of my friends from the past will be back with Legion.We'll make a guild again, we'll try raiding, in our own paste. I wish I could login to the alpha and test out what class to play.

I'm glad they've finally brought Illidan back, I missed him as one of the bigger WoW lore characters. The question I wonder though, is if he will be on our side against Gul'dan, teamed up with Gul'dan, or will he choose to be Gul'dan's temporary ally and then turn on him? I can't wait to see his reaction when he sees the guy who's skull he used for power actually alive, let alone releasing him from the chamber he's encased in. I'm really excited for not just the story, but quite a few things, the artifact weapons, the class changes, new places to explore, treasure demons! Demon hunters! I think this will be my favorite expansion so far, so much detail and work put into this it's really impressive. Not only that, but now I can finally wield artifact weapons I've always wanted to have, and it will be interesting to learn about the other ones I didn't know existed. Haha. And as far as PvP goes.. Most MMO's don't have great PvP either, but this one does.. and I'm happy they're taking a bigger look at it, seeing what needs changed and what needs fixed. I loved the PvP in this game for so many years, and it's nice to see after a lot of trial and error this PvP honor system looks like it's going to fix some of the most frustrating problems I've had in past expansions. I love the new ideas they've came up with for this expansion, and they've also added a really big class I've wanted for so many years. I can't really say what I like most about how this new expansion looks, but to say everything looks amazing. They've even updated the melee combat animations which are REALLY nice looking. I can't wait to actually be able to just see firsthand what Legion is like. I can't even imagine how awesome it would be to actually be playing this expansion. And I can actually visit Karazhan again and sit back and take a good deep breath, remembering how creepy that place actually was, it will be fun to take ashbringer into the older undead dungeons and just wreck havoc on everything. Finally some artifacts weapons we can actually wield! There are a couple things I hope they will do though with the artifact weapons.. I hope they will make cool combat animations for ashbringer, like for example when you kill an undead, he burns into a pile of dust. LOL That and I hope they let us use the classic corrupted ashbringer look of the one from vanilla/Wrath. That would be my favorite customization, and I hope they add the ability to let frost death knights reforge frostmourne as a whole 2 handed blade. (A customization) It would be amazing to actually be able to use the original 2 handed frostmourne. XD

My expectations for this new expansion would be especially a diversity of content. What I mean is that in warlords of draenor we experienced a huge lack of new content for the patches. For example the first patch added only the foundry raid which should have been available at the same time as Highmaul. And the second patch added only the selfie camera. Only the tanaan patch was really worth something with the new zone and the new raid. I love this game and I really want this expansion to be worth what we expect for the fight against the entire Legion! And I hope that it will contain enough to keep us entertained during all the expansion! From what I've seen so far, they're on the good track. Keep up Blizzard! And keep up the good work Icy Veins to give them the best feedback!

At this very moment WoW is in a critical state. There are fewer players than ever before as shown by the latest subscriber numbers that they had to announce and the decision to not release any further numbers that followed the message of a 5 million player loss since the start of the expansion. It can't be denied that a game which loses 50% of its playerbase in the first few months of an expansion is in a bad state. There is not a lot of fresh and repeatable content thats fun (at least for me). So all I and most of the players I know, have to do is clear mythic one day a week and then do either alt raids or go play a different game. The benefit that blizzard has is that their games quality is usually really good. Thus I happen to be playing diablo, hots or hearthstone more or less frequently but in all of those games you are missing the social & mmo aspect which is kind of sad but thats not what these games where designed for. This role should be fulfilled by WoW which, at least in this expansion, it doesn't. There are several issues with WoW just one of them being the ridiculously long times between expansions or content patches. The closer to an end of an expansion we come the more it feels that WoW is in a state of abandonement. No more content patches, no fluid transition to another addon. This didn't happen in Wotlk. There we got at least a small raid in the ruby sanctum to keep us busy for a few weeks. Why not have more of these smaller dungeons and a diversity in raids you visit. At the moment we have just hfc as a relevant raid, sometimes a switch in atmosphere achieves more than having a single raid that you can do. Therefore I hope that we might get a few more small raids like Gruul's lair or Obsidian Sanctum. And I also wish for the developers to not abandon the game and leave it in the exact same state for 1. Especcially with this little of content there is just nothing that will keep the playerbase. For many a player Legion will be WoWs last chance for redemption. If Legion turns out like a disaster similar to WoD, the World of Warcraft could have opened its doors for one last time with no more expansions on the horizon because the subscriber numbers are going to drop even below the 3 million mark. However at the moment Legion doesnt look like a bad expansion. We will have to see if there is more content in the pipe or if we will just get a base expansion and then wait for an eternity to get another patch that can be called a patch. As for now I am cautiously hyped about Legion. We do get a new class in the demon hunter. The artwork looks fantastic for all of the new zones and also most bossfights seem to be interesting though there are a few weaker ones. I hope that WoW will feel more like an MMO again come Legion. 3 It's the first expansion where you will have only one weapon so thats an interesting choice which has worked out in other games like Blade and Soul. What I dislike is that we are labeled as some super hero who has to save the world and therefore needs the most powerful of weapon. In that regard I find it most questionable that we, the heroes that the world needs to fend of the burning legion, will be sent on quests / missions to collect 10 pieces of dirt or go hunt a deer and bring back its meat. Now either the local population is to unable to use a rifle themselves to hunt a deer (in which case we should let the burning legion do its job) or the quests simply dont make sense.We, the almighty heroes, seem to have nothing better to do than to help some dude collect a few pieces of meat which he could have perfectly gone out and gotten himself when you see the weapons he wears. But hey I guess saving the world comes after getting some stranger a bit of meat for his lunch. I'd rather have blizz go back to the theme where we are adventurers and aid the local population and thereby happen to stumble into some action regarding whatever they can come up with. But maybe after Legion we will return to this theme or Legion turns out to be the exact right way for the MMO to go. I am looking forward to it and wish it to turn out well. It's not the playerbase that is at fault for the state of the game as there is plenty of feedback out there and readily available it just seems like the devs are too busy experimenting on things that are hit or miss instead of listening and tailoring the game to the playerbase. The playerbase is very critical about the content but that is because we are used to Blizzard style games. Games with very high quality. So my question is: is WoW worth to still have the Blizzard stamp in the future?

Personally, I'm mostly looking forward to the end game raiding content that legion will bring. It's going to be fun to after a long break from progression to go back in there and kill bosses as a guild. Just hope the long wait will be worth it

5 years Icy Veins, congratulations to all the persons involved  I'm realy hope and dream with the fact that Legion will be a great expansion, where all people, in more or less measure, will enjoy a game such as World of Warcraft. Personally what attracts me to play the expansion is the remodeling class system they are doing, keeping the DK blood in my crosshair. Something that has me excited are the artifact weapons, hopefully it will be a success mechanism that can remember as a fantastic period of WoW. And finally, with a subject that I always like to comment on . the band bosses. Looking forward, for me, Ulduar and Icecrown Citadel where the best band of all the expansions, with their mechanical, game modes and definitely a great difficulty. Hopefully Blizzard will strive to make attractive new bosses. PD: Sorry for my english

Legion has a lot of new features that i'm looking at, starting from the new artifact weapons that it seems to be a really cool thing, to the new PvP system that remind me a lot of Vanilla's system which is my favourite system ever. I'm looking forward for the professions changes because i really love how them are structured in WoW and i hope they make them count once again. I'm excited for the lore, i really want to know what happens to guldan and i'm looking for the full story about Illidan (even if i wont play DH). Said that i really want to thanks Icy Veins and all the people around it for the greater work they did in this years and all the help you give us with you guide

      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!
