And with minimal lag and demons that were visually impressive, numerous, but easy enough in practice, we damn well felt like it, too. We were the legit Horde army going to bash some demon faces in. It wasn’t just a few scrappy heroes going off to war. Let me say that again: a 40-man scenario. It began with a not one, not three, not ten, but 40-man scenario on the Broken Isles where a team from each faction worked together to accomplish separate but interconnected goals. We’ve got a progressive questline evolving on a weekly basis. We’ve got demons pouring out of the woodwork to invade vanilla zones, with familiar NPCs taking up arms against them. This time, Blizzard is sparing no effort to impress us. How about those pre-release events? Remember what we got for Warlords? One measly questline in one of the game’s most horrible areas (especially on PvP servers) just before launch. But look out. That would not be enough on its own because Warlords of Draenor seemed to sparkle at a distance, too. Most people even enjoyed the first few months of Warlords, when the content was fresh and there was enough of it. Previews of the raids appear promising, and everything looks pretty with the usual shiny Blizzard polish. You can quest through the zones in any order you want, and you’ll return to them often via your definitely not another garrison Class Hall. They’re throwing the players long-asked-for bones such as Queen Azshara, Emerald Nightmare, and Karazhan. ![]() Keystones and mythic + dungeons will keep dungeons relevant and varied. The Titans did not bless me with beta access this time around, but from what I can read, things are promising. The artifact system coupled with world quests promises relevant content long after we’ve finished the main questline. To start, Legion looks pretty good at face value. ![]() ![]() That said I am now, cautiously, boarding the hype train. It’s no surprise if people tread carefully into the Broken Isles in World of Warcraft Legion. There was the long wait for the expansion pack, the hype leading up to it, the initial euphoria followed by the let-down of nearly two years in the garrison, little endgame content, only one patch worth talking about I could go on. You see, Blizzard burned Azerothians badly with the last expansion, Warlords of Draenor. It’s a dangerous ride, particularly in Blizzard’s case for World of Warcraft in 2016. I hesitate to board the shiny metaphorical hype train for anything anymore. After this pre-release event, I am officially on the hype train for World of Warcraft Legion.
