I started playing back in TBC as a paladin. The thing i liked the most was that i had so much to learn in order to do good damage. There was three different judgements and i had to try them many times in order to find out which one was the best, more damage, slow or mana? I really like when you have to try these kind of things for yourself. In legion we have a new way of changning talents. which means we will switch talents all the time depending on what we are going to do. For example for different types of mobs in dungeons/raids and bosses that spawn more adds or less adds. I have't played legion beta yet (obviously) but i've seen some of the demon hunter talents showing potential of deciding for yourself what your primary stat should be(haste or crit). The reason i wanna play legion is because i love when you have to try different playstyles depending on your gear and situation.

Firstly I would say I am most looking forward to the opportunity to play a new class as my main. But as a raider I am also looking forward to the raids, something which blizzard rarely fails to deliver on.

Also, having watched quite a lot of the class previews, the new take on the talent system looks much better than the current version, where you may change one or two talents for single target versus aoe, but not much else.

Im really excited about the new Pvp system in legion, I really hope it feels like a new way to play pvp and experience pvp. im also really excited about the new animations in legion because he have had the same animations for about 12 years now.

Im really excited about the demon hunter class! i hope they make it something really special.

 

I gave up pvp in wod because it was not fun anymore but now i really hope to get back at it with the new legion pvp system thats coming.

Also every new expansion they make quest better and more fun so im kinda hyped about how they gonna make it even better.

 

After i quit pvping in wod, i started raidng and it was so much fun and i really hope i can experience the same feeling in legion.

So im kinda hyped about everything in legion but i really hope this will bring back old friends back to wow and make new ppl join the world of warcraft community.

I really cant wait for legion to come out!

 

I know i took alot of topics and i know it dosent increase the chances of winning but i feelt like commeting about everything im hyped about ^^

I'm looking forward to seeing whats next in the Warcraft legion story, Leveling new characters to experience how classes have changed from the ground up, Collecting more mounts, continuing to ignore PVP, and Seeing how exciting the class halls can be.

I'm looking forward to the artifact weapons. And I can not wait remastered the complete system class. And I also hope for a better utilization of followers.

What  am I missing!?: Old talents.

[Deadlaus 0]

I can't wait to try out the new Artifacts, Raids and everything else.

[Sylvanoran 0]

I have been looking forward to the next expansion since WOD the content was okay but it seamed rushed but was far better then MoP I have raided and did pvp in ever expansion since BC and I must say a lot has changed and I'm looking forward to see if wow can bounce back after how bad MoP hurt them and from what I see legion might be the thing they need. It will have stuff for everyone. As a feral If I don't want to raiding that day for pop in can grind skins or get the weapon for my other class. Another thing I look forward to is the scenery I love looking at the zones and these class hall look top tier....so ready for legion. Favorite moment was killing illidan in black temple with my guild and getting the glaves man I hope we get to kill him again soon

For a long time now we have all strived to become better, or even the best. But now, in Legion, we will all be noobs again, because mostly everything will be new. Now we are all lined up at the same place, and the race goes from there. Thats what I'm looking forward to the most. 

 

But let's not forget the awesome new lore and graphics!

[MrBukhave 0]

I can't wait for the new druid forms, looks way too badass! Also a lot of the new spec features look nice! Looking forward to try it all out myself 

[ChangeOlsen 0]

I look forward to test out the new class designs in PvP. I'm very excited to see how tanks perform in PvP and hope that blizzard will be able to include more specs with a bunch of new comps in arena. I'm so excited and can't wait to get started! :D

[Nex9D 0]

I started wow in WoD my friends invited me. Sience that i like this game so much, so I'm looking forward to legion, I watch so many video and stream. I can't wait to play demon hunter and see the new animation, talent, proffesion.. everything :D 

[Managhar 0]

The lore in general.

[Broznky 0]

i'm totally waiting for this new class. cant wait to jump around like being bitten by an avalanche of fleas.

and then beam the shit out of whatever passes my way.

plus the new honor system really seems to bring some change to the overall atmosphere in pvp-combat, at least in the beginning.

[andreoski 0]

the new transmog system 

[Tarkie 0]

Need new content! Need new raiding!! Need new challenge and Legion will be it!

[Holomojakalie 0]

I'm really excited about quite a few things, but if i had to pick just one i would say leveling in the new areas. Leveling new characters has always been kind of a hobby for me. Currently have five 100s and can't wait to get them all to 110.

[DanielMikkelsen 0]

Them sweet sweet DH With them pew pew lazers and Mystical powers to jump mid air And gnome hunters with their giant robot rabit i really liked the UI improvements in MoP and the MoP zones And the BC raids :) #DemonHuntersFTW

Grab your chance to win a Legion beta key!

Icy Veins is turning 5 today and we wanted to celebrate it in the best way possible! We're giving all of you the chance to win a key for the upcoming beta of World of Warcraft: Legion!

As 2011 approached, two young gentlemen were sat discussing ideas for a World of Warcraft website. Ideas were passed back and forth, drafts were drawn up and the first edition of the Icy Veins website was released on the 21st of March, 2011. With a total of 3 guides for specialisations, 2 of which were Mage guides, and 1 raid encounter guide, Icy Veins was beginning its long journey. 

 

5 years later and here we are! With a brand new design just released and with more changes planned in the near future, Icy Veins has not only grown, but matured under the watchful eyes of its founders, Damien and Vlad. With their tireless work ethic and their dedication to the site, we've seen Icy Veins expand from a small World of Warcraft guide-hub into a Blizzard-wide gaming community. 

 

I feel like the word community is worth focusing on, since that's the general theme of today's post. With a growing membership on the forums and an increasing viewer-base on our news posts, Icy Veins has grown into a family. Without the users that visit the site each day, Icy Veins could never have become what it is today. Readers allow our team to do what we love: creating content for all of you.

 

For everything that you have done for us, we thought today would be a perfect day to do something for you.

 

Legion Beta Key Giveaway

 

As many of you know, World of Warcraft is releasing its new expansion this year: Legion. The expansion is overhauling a huge number of aspects within the game, as well as introducing a number of new parts into the game.

 

Many of you won't have been able to experience all of the new content that is being released, so we wanted to help. With the aid of Blizzard, we're giving away 200 keys to the upcoming beta; 100 of the keys will be given out this week, 100 in another giveaway next week. It's a pretty simple giveaway, you'll just need to post an appropriate comment on this post before the 29th of March to enter!

 

So what is an appropriate comment? We love hearing back from our readers and we love discussions, so why not mix the two and put together a giveaway! We want to know all about your opinions on Legion, as well as WoW itself. Let us know in the comments what you're most looking forward to, as well as your fondest memories in Warcraft history! Whether it's a guild moment, a personal moment or a moment in the game's story itself, we want to hear it.

Legion Information

 

If you're struggling for inspiration or you haven't been able to explore some of the information being released from the Alpha, we've made sure to give you a few pointers below:

 

Players will be equipped with the mightiest weapons of Azeroth, the artifact weapons, each tied to our classes with a unique link in lore. If you're looking to find some additional information on the lore behind your weapons, as well as some of the alternatives, you can always check out the artifact series we featured!

 

If the artifacts aren't quite tantalising enough, there's always the swathe of new dungeons being introduced with the expansion, such as the Arcway.

 

Still not excited? You must be a PvPer then! Worry not, there's a sparkling new prestige system being introduced, as well as a number of changes to the way PvP will work from now on. 

 

Still? You're a tough one to please. Maybe you prefer a more pacifist route through Azeroth? You'll be able to enjoy more costumes and outfits than ever before with the new transmogrification and wardrobe systems. 

 

You can also check out the interviews I had with Venruki, Treckie and Tegu in our "Will Legion Save WoW?" article. You'll get perspectives on changes from some of the best players in the world in both PvP and PvE!

 

Before you enter, make sure that your computer is up to scratch for the Legion client by checking the system requirements.

 

While I'm not entering, I'll never miss out on a chance to take part in the fun! Personally, my favourite part in Legion so far and what I am looking forward to most is the lore surrounding certain characters. I don't want to put spoilers into this post, but you can check out the fate of some of them in our spoilers posts (Part 2). As a favourite moment of WoW, it would have to be the moment I first saw C'thun. The constant taunting as you approach, his appearance, it was just amazing. That for me is the peak of nostalgic feeling towards this game. 

 

That's it from me. Good luck to you all and I can't wait to read your replies!

 

Yo.been playing since lich king cassually and really hardcore for the past year and a half since i really have the time to be dedicated...legion will be for me  dream come true...Im so hyped for this expansion because it will give me the chance to play the game that i love so much... in an environment similar to TBC the so called golden age of wow from so many of my friends...i know that the game is not going to be similar to tbc in many of its aspects a lot of people might also be annoyed from the emotional breakdown im experiencing while im writing down this post...but if we put my tryhard post asside for one moment...I would love so much to get access to beta this time around i have so much available time to play it and also provide feedback considering the fact that so many new features are being implemented such as the artifact weps and the prestige system...I really want to be able to decide what character i should focus on and progress empowering my artifact weapon since i currently have druid,warrior,paladin and shaman active in all specs and sizes! Can't wait to see my launcher colored with the colors of legion and log on...anyway enough tryhard-ing for me i guess...good luck to everybody! P.s im interested to see how the pvp is going to be affected with the ability removals and pvp talents...big risk for blizzard there i guess, new arena maps are awsome....the hype is real...feel it boys..

Looking forward to fighting the raid bosses and playing with different mechanics again. It's always fun to see the different things the devs come up with.

With all the talk of the new pvp system and the big "prune" coming in i find it necessary to say that i am for the prune/overhaul of changing the way pvp is played. The truth is that in the current state of WoW pvp noone really cares, noone bothers to play very much, and new players trying to compete at higher levels get destroyed. What i am looking forward to the most in legion is seeing all the new people that decide to pick up the game and give it a try, i'm excited to meet new people that are brand new to the game, and learn the new expansion along with them. From personal experience of friends telling me that, "WoW is to difficult", or "I couldnt learn a game and compete against people that have been playing 10 years". I am really hoping that legion turns not casual friendly, but new player friendly, not as terrifying as it seems to many. The new pvp system is a much needed overhaul and will be one of my favorite features in the new expansion...... oh yea, and the wardrobe system, I CAN FINALLY HAVE ROOM IN MY BAGS!
