I really love the artifacts and the New zones. The New raids mean more lore and probably some New lore aswell. And the thing with illidan be back is Amazing!

I can't wait to see who is gonna be the final boss of the expansion:D

[Tquila 0]

I can't wait to try out the demon hunter class, and the artifact weapons. I think the game has been a bit overinflated with weapons, and having these upgradeable weapons might fix that. And ofcourse, they look super awesome.

Well, i am really excited for alot of stuff, first of all who doesn't want to fight the Burning Legion?:D Also you can play as a Demon Hunter(Let's be honeset here, the game will be filled with Demon Hunters on launch, and you know you are going to be one of them :D) I am also excited about all the new Lore and Raids, i hope the questing experince will be on par with WoD's "Story Quests".

Hello,

I looking forward to the Legion brings back the elements of expansion The Burning Crusade, which was one of the most popular among the players. I hope therefore that, the Legion will return again many players and my old friends.

 

Of course I like a lot of new features that will appear in the Legion, such as artifacts, raids, new PvP system and much more. :)

Super hyped for Legion and Demon Hunters specifically, going to make my new main a vengeance DH, would love to try one out early :)

[Frontabl3 0]

I'm really excited for all that Legion offers. Generally i'm really interested in the PVP system as in the lore and the artifact system. I started to play WoW in WOTLK  and i was doing only PVE but in Legion the PVP system looks very interesting and i defenetly want to try it out.

For questing and classes I like the Paladin and the new Demon Hunter , and that AWESOME murloc questline.

Also very interested in Vault of the Wardens and The Emerald Nightmare. :) :) :)

I love the idea of actually wielding the Ashbringer, it will go perfect with the transmog on my human paladin, which is towards a Tirion Fordring look. :)

There are so many things that I'm looking forward to in legion. In the earlier expansions we the players were often treated as random adventurers, and while this was fun for a while it got old very fast. I mean, when the same adventurer comes to the rescue for the alliance, the horde and other organizations it ends up getting very old.

 

In WOTLK, CATA and WOD we gained more fame and recognition from the world around us. So it will become very interesting to see how the players are treated as the leader of their class order in Legion. I get the impression anyway that it will be a whole different stepping stone for us in that regard.

 

I'm also curious to see the fate of the many lore characters that exist in WoW. In the previous expansions we have developed a certain bond to some lore characters. It becomes very similar to when you read a book about a certain character. So when Blizzard decides to kill off characters it will most likely make the game feel more real again. Since many of the players risk losing a lore character or characters that they care about.

 

From a game design point I'm also curious about the artifact weapons. In the previous games we were forced to grind and farm for weapons, so I am curious if the whole artifact thing will simplyfy the whole circle in comparions to the previous expansions.

 

My favorite moment in WoW is a hard one to pick. But I would consider the scenes where Bolvar and Saurfang comes to the rescue of the hero in WOTLK for their faction as one of the best moments ever. It was the first time that I felt noticed by the lore character for once.

Im always excited about wow

Looking forward to playing Demonology Warlock! They look so freaking amazing! :D

[qtsage 0]

Looking forward to getting the artifacts on each of my characters and possibly venturing into PvP! :) 

[facerollah 0]

Obtaining the artifacts weapons was always somthing i tried to do in wow now but the grind for this was too long to commit to. I wished that the warrior weapon was gorehowl. But the dual wielding swords for warriors look cool anyway. Finally they made a new bladestorm instead of the crappy one we have had for years.

Impatience , the thrill , the excitement .

The impatience to discover the rest of this universe.

The thrill of the game that we full of surprises .

The excitement of the release date that approximates day.

 

This extension is promising, alot of changes in the game that are huge as artifacts weapons. The revised PvP honor system. The redesign of several class, and the new class. Magnificent halls class . And so on ... I'm like a kid waiting for his gift of Christmas !

 

( PS: sorry for the mistakes , I learn the English language... )

What I'm really looking forward to is getting back to my Discipline Priest :) The gameplay in WoD wasn't as exciting as I hoped it to be and swapped to Mistweaver Monk mid-expansion. I'm really excited for the changes made to Disco priest, and can't wait to see it in action! 

[jrw424 0]

I am extremely excited to try out the Demonology Warlock as well as the Demon Hunter to see if they are a fun to play as it looks. Recently, WoW has begun to feel stale, making it difficult for me to even log in. I have played for many years and it saddens me that the game as come to that point and I really hope that Legion will bring WoW back. My favorite moment was when I was ranting to my friend about how I am really unlucky when it comes to mount drops and just as I finished my statement, Smoldering Egg of Millagazor dropped. Guess I'm not as unlucky as I thought.

Cant wait to play with all the new artifact abilites  and try the new arcane mage spé !

[trackman02 0]

I'm hyped for Legion altogether, but the thing that makes me most excited for is the new PvP honor system. I've loved PvP in games, so this will make it more fun to do more battlegrounds everyday. ;D

(honestly when i get in, i'm going to go right to testing my favorite classes, and right to pvp ;p)

[NorthernHeretic 0]

As a relativly new player to World of Warcract I'm looking forward to explore new end-game content. 

[Zaughon 0]

First of all, Happy birthday Icy-veins! It has come a long way :)

Mainly i'm looking forward to trying Demonhunters, and some of all the class-changes to existing classes. Still trying to decide whether i want to play SP, DK, Rogue, Warlock or DH (depending on how awesome they are). 

What i enjoyed most in the past was running through Molten Core with 39 other headless chickens, while trying not to ninja pull everything.
Or the fooling around in Naxx, ninja pulling everything and clearing it faster than the other raid group in the guild cleared 1 wing. 

[Phombos 0]

I'm looking forward for Legions lore and pvp-system! Expecting a blast on both fronts!

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.

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!

I love transmogging.  Looking forward to the space saving aspect in Legion.  But I also like crafting.  I hope crafting is better in Legion and if there is a new craft or two, well yay.  Mostly looking forward to a new class to play.
