World of Warcraft - Legion

[animal531]

So I watched the movie, it was amazing. Today asked Blizzard support on that web chat if I can get one of those 7 day free game time things for Wow.

I have not played Wow in years but do play there other games. This support guy comes out and says because I am a big and longtime Blizzard supporter he is giving me 30 days free game time.

What a company!

Hah nice. A friend suckered me into playing again (and buying Legion), think I got a 7day free card I can give you.
You should go get Overwatch too, that's a lot of fun.

I decided to restart my WoW subscription as well.. currently on Lightbringer with my lvl 75 Barbarian. Funny though... my barb is seriously overpowered.. haven't played in a few years.. perhaps the areas were nerfed a bit. Can currently take on Epic characters that require 4 players (according to quest log), in a few hits, and with ridiculous lag.

Leveling is super easy at the moment, but blizz are changing it up they have done low levels already and apparently going to be changing it up all the way to 100 in the near future. so blizz are giving some much needed love to leveling and legion looks really awesome so far! the new animations look really sweet! and i am really looking forward to the expansion.

Also pre-ordered and will sub again begin of aug perhaps... looking forward to it.

Bleh. It's a face roll in low levels as well.

Sub by pre patch. There will be demon invasions and some achievements etc
You also get a Level 100 boost if you purchased the digital edition.

I'm just buggering around with a friend atm on my old server, Sylvanas where all my old toons are.

Well tbh last night all I did was try and figure out what the hell is going on and what skills to use. Will have to check if there is still any clans / ppl alive I know.

Legacy of the Fallen on TH (horde) is getting active again and will also do raids in legion...

My friend joined Magtheridon, so I just used my 100 boost there, while also leveling a new char. Everything is quite different from when I last played.

Lol you telling me. I'm so lost.

Think I will just level a new toon myself to get to know the game again.

Good to know. Defo an opinion worth giving. thx!

I'm happy to answer questions, some of the things I've picked up on:

- All areas now scale to match your level. When the expac is release it won't be a rush to area 1, then 2, then 3. You simply decide where you want to go and it scales for you.
- Professions are actuallly worth while at the start, despite needing them to improve your order hall they also offer quests. You can use any recipe at any level but these are unlocked via completing quests.
- Artifacts are cool, artifact points take time to get though and we've been a bit gimped on the beta with a bug in artifact knowledge.
- Some instances are gated behind reputation and ilvl again.
- World Quests make login in daily worth while.

I've read some things that sounds great regarding Legeon, and always welcome more info.

That said there is so much sh#t going on in the game atm that I know nothing about, so I'm just trying to wrap my head around that for now

Evening the movement, control feels weird at this stage.
Have we always controlled things with WADS (a&d being strafe) and then hold right mouse point where you going?

 

[karnuffel]

Arzy, whats going to happen to the garrisons?

Basically replaced by Order Halls which are more communal. Each class has its own one and you unlock phased features by completing quests. Order resources are used to improve your order hall, do missions, get artifact knowledge, buy a started set of armor etc.

Existing garrisons still exist but area apparently getting nerfed to hell. No more gold missions, salvage yard will just give junk etc.

 

[SnowWar]

I dont even know wtf garrisons are

Haha, it's a mix. For fine control you use wasd, but in general you can just do right mouse to angle and then (auto)run. Because you do the latter so much you forget about the movement controls.

Garrisons come from the previous expansion, you build up your own base/area and have followers that you can level up and send on missions of their own.

So I totally vote for a mybb guild on Draenor - horde. I've already dragged a bunch of people from Lightbringer to Draenor with a guild move a few years ago. And I have enough gold to supply everyone with bags
