Im really looking forward to the new challenge modes and how they will play out in tandem with the normal raiding in regards to gearing processes.

I am definitely looking forward to the new changes for retribution paladins and the artifact weapons. I have difficulty in raids with weapons they never seem to drop for me so the addition of that would be a great help. I also like the changes to the transmog now i can finally get my bank clear lol. The other class changes look like fun too and I am definitely excited for the demon hunter.

Lots of good and bad changes in Legion thus far, in my opinion.  

I'm overall pro-artifact weapons and I think they're interesting and fun.  However, I don't like the concept of needing to focus solely on a single spec of a single character.  I hope this is addressed with soft/hard caps throughout the expansion and catch up mechanisms -- because as much as we'd love for them to, all the specs won't be balanced for PVE or PVP and even the top spec one patch and be the worst the next.  

The legendaries... abhorrent, awful, bad design.  I'm a casual player now since I work a lot and have other hobbies, I don't have my legendary ring yet even, but this design is just abysmal and pointless.  Why do we need these?  It would be better without them.  We're getting these awesome artifacts to level up, why do we need these random "legendaries" that drop in the world?  Seems such a gross, counter-productive design to the goals in this game.  

Class changes are hit or miss.  Lots of classes lost important abilities and others gained weird stuff.  Balance in numbers aside, some classes will NOT be able to compete in arenas.  Some classes have significantly more mobility, self-healing, defensives and more efficient methods of dealing damage than other classes.

 

I've mained a hunter the last two expansions and I was excited about the survival changes when announced.  I've kept my eye on them, and I've steadily lost a lot of the interest.  The mechanics seem strange and they've kept the same defensive kit as the other specs, yet they are melee.  Deterrence?!  Melee but can't attack during our want-to-be invulnerability while Ret gets to attack during BoP now, too.  Oh, and they nerfed it to a 3 min CD with a single charge (giving that it has a longer duration now, but we are still PACIFIED during it).  That's one of the main things that bothers me about the spec, Exhilaration and Aspect of the Turtle seem too weak for the spec.  And the awful change to Aspect of the Cheetah.  Three minute CD?  Eh.... no thanks.  Would rather have the 30% passive MS.  

Lots more, but all in due time.

What I like about Legion: 

Druid's Affinity talents (e.g. Resto druid affinity for feral) 

 

PvP talents (some skills that were supposed for pvp could come extremely handy in pve and although increasing skill cap it also made some classes much more favourable for some encounters). Goes the opposite to: some talents that were balanced for PvE and sort of broke PvP. 

 

Transmog wardrobe (and yes I am really looking forward to try this out on the beta)

I am looking forward to the artifact quest lines of several specs many of them sounds really cool and could be really epic :D

 

I am also excited for the new CM since I have enjoyed WotLK 5-man and the CM in the past 2 expansions the most :)

I'm really excited for the Challenge mode dungeons.  I tried them in MoP and got so frustrated with them that I didn't even try one in WoD.  The idea of the dungeon getting more challenging as you progress and being rewarded to push farther instead of a simple pass/fail is great.  I'm already talking with some guildies about setting up a weekly group/competition between teams to see who can get further.

I am really excited for almost everythin in the new expansion. I can´t tell what is more exciting, because all new features look so amazing. But i have to say that the artifact system is the best thing of all.

 

My best memory is beginning WoW ,almost eight years ago, with my sister sitting beside me and running from Teldrassil straight to Ashenvale trying to not die from the monsters under one bridge near the Barrens.

I'm really excited to quest through all the zones personally. For some reason the first thing I always want to do is get that loremaster achievement for the new expansion. :D

I'm really looking forward to play the new demon hunter class. Ever since I started playing World of Warcraft  for over 10 years ago, I've wanted Blizzard to introduce the class from WC3 that I liked the most, and it's finally happening. I'm even considering changing main after 10 years of sneaky backstabing.

 

My fondest memory would be when I ran around in Blackrock Mountain and stumble upon a character decked out in gear from Naxxramas. I was so jealous while I at the same time admired them. I remember trying to kill a priest with a random player and we tried for over 10 minutes before giving up. Call it lack of skills or gear, it was alot of fun. This together with the moment when we killed M'uru pre-nerf is my equally fondest memories from the past.

      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!
