World of Warcraft Legion

I think that this time, the expansion won't be disappointing. The new class looks much more exciting than monks.

[Dethosis]

!!! They're bringing back illidan boys

[Mercy]

Well, have they confirmed the 6.2 to be the final WoD patch? I mean, really? The xpac has been launched less then one year ago. I haven't played WoD but it seems quite poor for all the hype it created. What you guys (I mean, those who have played it on retail) think?

Edit: at least we finally have those demon hunters. The wow community has asked for this class to be playable since TBC.

They said that Hellfire Citadel will be the last raid. There will be patches still.

Hmm I'm actually wondering what at what lvl do Demon Hunters start. 100? Or lower?

Level 100. They're a hero class like DKs, and they will be able to jump right into Legion content.

After so many years, it seems we are coming to an actual confrontation with the legion. Interesting, I honestly thought this expansion would be a few years ahead since they wanted to continue for 10 years+.

Apparently we wield artifacts from fallen heroes and those that lost hope. This could mean a huge loss of important characters on the pre-patch. Lead designer did say those who played WoW, no matter for how long will be super shocked on the things that will happen, we'll wait and see.

legion will be last expansion for wow
i mean will be no more expansion after legion?

Umm no, they even started releasing xpansions every year, instead of 2.

[SilentK]

So can some one explain to me how did this (old) gul'dan knew about illidan in first place? Where he was being kept and why the heck to even release him? And where the heck is he actually being kept?

The last question will probably be answered in the future, but I still don't understand how gul'dan knew about illidan.

While at it, what the fk Medivh? Guardian of freaking mother f***** Azeroth, burning legion returing and its khadgar to bring the news? Da fuuuuuuuuuuuu???


This time travelling thing really broke the game, why on earth, the all powerful titan sargeras doesn't simply go to different realities and get demons from there and invade w/e he wants as well.

Man this whole thing is being written by an excited 10 year old that comes up with ideas but doesn't bother to connect them at all.

[Mercy]

The Legion knows about him, and they're the ones who sent Gul'Dan his way. Maiev took Illidan's body to wherever (I forget the name of the place) with the intent to imprison his soul as well.

Medivh said in the past that it's the time of mortals now, not guardians. And Khadgar is/was Medivh's apprentice.

Sargeras can't go to different realities and recruit demons because there is only one Legion, and it is infinite in size. The Twisting Nether transcends all realities. Demons' souls are tethered to the Nether, so I'd assume upon becoming one (like Illidan), they too, transcend all realities.

Khadgar can't be the guardian because Med'an end of story...As far is Illidan being a demon i have to disagree cause if he was it would be like Archimonde when he is killed his soul just goes back to the twisting nether the same should have happened to Illidan but it didn't and also lore/gameplay wise Demon Hunters should start at level 70 or lower for 2 reasons. Reason 1 this will be as they said through Illidan's eyes and at that time we were at Tbc it makes logical sense.Reason 2 is really simple so people would have a reason to use the level boost to 100 when they get out of the starting zone for Demon hunters.. same as DK's.
Edit: Also Xavius and Malfurion again ? We are getting a repeat of the novel Stormrage... just so they can show us the emerald dream/nightmare.And if this is the bigger invasion than War of The Ancients why not get reinforcements from Draenor like Yrel said "If you ever need us we will be here" Also Grom Hellscream we technically spared his life and saved/freed Draenor is his words,and what the **** this is supposed to be the biggest invasion ever, everyone is coming out Azshara, Xavius,Illidan,Gul' dan,Legion, + Old Gods have show up in this kind of chaos how can they miss this opportunity and they are telling me that Horde and Alliance can't Co-op in these dark days that are coming..And finally Wrathion all the time during Mop he kept nagging "The legion is coming,the legion is coming" well they came and he is no-where to be found.

Also this whole thing with the legendary weapons biggest lore **** up.Shards of frostmourne were under Icecrow Citadel really? really ? Doomhammer and Ashbringer you either have to kill Thrall and Tirion in order to make sense... and when everyone has the same thing it's not longer special and sure as hell it isn't legendary especially when you use lore weapons... Blizzard better reverse this decision.
Edit: Alright maybe wielding Doomhammer can make sense since there is one in the bottom of Shattrath Bay.

Actually there is more or less valid explanation:

1. It was said in the Blizz Panel that during the Legion plotline some 'shocking' development will occur, and something happens that sets the 'world on fire' ... as a result of which people 'die or lose hope' and their legacy passes on. TL;DR: Yes many would die or simply give up.
2. Lorewise it seems that each of the heroes will be the leader of their class faction. The Heroes are not different indivisuals anymore ... rather they are the many incarnations of the same individual among the each class faction. If u get my drift.
3. Canonically at the fall of the lich king only Bolvar, the Menthils, Tirion and the heroes was there ... and immediately after Artha's death, Bolvar's crowning happened and Bolvar immediately ordered them to leave this place and never to return. So it is quite possible that none stayed and collected the pieces lying in front of the new Litch King .... and after that single chance, no mortal has any reason to return there.


Personally I think Blizz should make this the final expansion or at least the penultimate one (After the Legion only the titans and the Old god are the major plot that remains to be used). Then perhaps move on to a new franchise or a new engine at the very least.

These are not Legendary Weapon, they are Artifact System.

This special system unlock a *transmog* thing to change the appearance of your weapon to the Artifact of your Class, The expansion is about Class Idendity.
By changing the appearance of your weapon, you can customize the lore weapon of your class by having different versions, and recolors of each one. Additionally, this Artifact System allow you to gain perks to empower your spells or gain new effects.

And you can't make a game entirely made on Lore, you have to trick it up to make interresting system for the game. A game is a Game, Lore is Lore. Combinate them is tricky, and you have to tweak things up. And again, those are to define to class identity by being unique with your own transmog, and artifact appearance and path you decide to take.

This expansion already seems to have way better feature than WoD and MoP combinate.

Sure that could make sense (the first bit) but the part about the shards...So let me get this straight Tirion Fordring won't take the shards and put them in a place where no one would find them, like for example i remember something about copses of powerful warriors that died and they hid them under some chappel so that the lich king can't make them his slaves, but he will just leave the shards laying there or worse hide them under the citadel... makes no sense to me honestly Tirion is no fool nor is Bolvar neither of them would make this stupid mistake.

They did that great in Wotlk with Shadowmoure and Frostmourne,kept the lore and gave players something really powerful and cool.Dunno man i feel really pissed off cause of this. This whole expansion got me hyped and pissed off in the same time :D
