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

Recommended Posts

I am looking forward to getting out of my garrison and back into the world with other people. Also, new druid skins!

For me, it's all about the Lore. 

 

Sure, the Artifact weapons are going to be fantastic. However, the new dungeons and locations that have their own tie-ins to the current lore we have are what I want to experience. I've always been a PvE guy (and RP..go WRA) and have enjoyed (as well as siphoned up) every ounce of lore I can find. Ulduar was my favorite Raid for this reason and I absolutely adored Mists of Pandaria, even if it is regarded badly by some of my peers. 

 

My Death Knight is my baby. He has been with me through Wrath and was before hand a paladin (who has undergone a race change to worgen since becoming a Death Knight). He is my most played character and will be the one I focus on heavily in Legion. Those blades will be mine and I will cherish every moment of obtaining them. 

 

Happy Legion Hunting!

I look forward to:

The Shadow Priest overhaul in Legion is long overdue, and I have been longing for a class with relations to The Old Gods since I raided Ahn'Qiraji in vanilla. I am so happy that it is finally fleshed out completely and begins being an integral part of the Priest class. GIVE IN TO MADNESS!!!111!! wacko.png wacko.png wacko.png wacko.png 

My best past experience:

 

Killing M'uru pre-nerf. I don't think that boss was very well designed, but me and my guild felt proud for overcoming Blizzards "shenannigan boss" as we called him. Also, most of my guild didn't care about the lore of the game, so I spent ages explaining the lore behind each boss and raid during our raids. Good times.

More than anything, I'm looking forward to the animations. Particularly melee attack and spell animations. They'll just make the entire game feel more responsive and generally play better for melee.

 

In the past I've been enjoying the DK rune system. It's going away in Legion as we know it and I'm not sure whether or not if I'll enjoy the new one. As of now, it seems I won't. Blood Tap is gone, which is my biggest issue, but runes have all become the same and I won't have the Unholy rune sub-rotation/priority-system with Plague Leech, Plague Strike, Defile and Obliterate which I am enjoying especially now with the T18 DK 2-set bonus which makes me prioritize Obliterate in an engaging way.

 

I really wish to get my hands on Frost DK in the Beta and see if the spec works for me, see if there's anything that needs changing and I want to bring up and possibly fix any potential issues if I can.

 

I started playing a Frost DK back in Wrath and it was my main ever since, when I returned during MoP I immediately jumped back on the class and spec I always loved and I raided with it from then until now. I'll be damned if I let Frost DK turn into nothing more than a melee Frost Mage on my watch. I strongly believe we need to keep our connection to death and unholiness.

200 keys? That's awesome! Good luck to everyone! I am most looking forward to the new cat druid models and playing around with the new artifacts for all my characters. Also might give PvP a good shot with the prestige system.

Of course I am stoked for the artifact weapons, but the new wardrobe feature is my biggest draw. to actually have bag space again to farm up more transmog and toys and what not. It is the most nifty thing that they have added since transmog was implemented. Congrats on 5 years Icy Veins.

Artifacts, new raids, new dungeons, new leveling zones. All of that is great in and of itself but what I'm especially excited for is the new specs. It's like getting multiple new classes!

I'm looking forward to the new PVP system.  Yes arena skirmishes and battle grounds were fun but the gear grind was torture.  Even though it's an ability grind in Legion, it seems like it will feel more rewarding.

Over the last couple of years, this site has been amazing. I started playing towards the end of MOP, and Ivy Veins has been my #1 resource for years when learning new classes. I have learned so much, and this website is my go to for any questions about any class. Thank you for the amazing years, and please continue to be such an amazing resource

Warcraft is a huge part of my life, and I've always been excited to be part of this incredibly persistent online world. No matter what the new features are, the game is still an incredible experience that has been bringing people together for 12 years, and I'm so psyched to be part of this new, futuristic, iteration. I can hardly wait to fight alongside you all once again.

I am looking forward to the artifact system. I think it will give you a way to show how much work you've put into each character you have. I can't wait to have every artifact! 

 

As far as my favorite part of WoW, I'd say it's been helping build my guild on my tiny server. We went against all odds and became a strong mythic raiding guild. It hasn't been easy to say the least, but all of the work has brought the guild together to the point that several of us have gone to meet each other in real life. 

 

I can't wait to see what Legion has in store, not only for game play, but for my guild as well!

I am really looking forward to the new Balance System. I am excited to see it off the confined rotation and on to a more priority-based system like other classes.

First off, awesome of you to give away so many beta keys! I love WoW! Rock on. Second, I love the new design. I'm starting to dabble with CSS/XHTML/JS/PHP/MySQL, etc. and I can tell from the Popular Tags API on the front page that you guys are headed in the right direction. The site has really gone through a transformation since I first came here looking for the best spec and rotation for my classes back in Wrath! Yeah, baby. Those were the days! My favorite memory in WoW is stealthing with my buddy Wasp in our guild, we were two stupid rogues who just thought we could waltz into Alliance territory without pulling aggro lol. Wow, what a long corpse run back that was. Anyway, can't wait to try out Legion. I know it's going to be great and restore WoW to its golden age!

Really looking forward to the prestige system giving us a reason to grind BGs for something other than gear when we first level.  Also excited that PVP gear will no longer be relevant to char strength.

As a ret paladin main since Wrath, I'm going to have to go with getting Ashbringer as one of the main things I'm looking forward to! Other than the superficial, I really just can't wait to start fresh again in progression.  It'll have been a long year of HFC and I'm super looking forward to some new PvE content!

After reading the chronicle, I'm looking forward to the new lore as well as all of the artifacts. It's going to be cool to have quests and lore for every spec in the game. And ofcourse no more garrisons (even with order halls). In the past I've enjoyed just hanging out with my guildies doing random things like PvP, doing 5 man dungeons, or even just flying around doing nothing and just talking.

      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!
