Question for any WoW players.

Niyumi··1 votes·203 views

So, I've been MMO hopping the last couple years. WoD killed WoW for me, so I went and played Wildstar for a year, but it died off. Went to GW2 for a while, tried getting into FFXIV, Blade and Soul (which, while fun, is kind of repetitive), TERA, etc.

After all that, I've only got GW2 left. While I enjoy the game, there's not a ton to do as far as raiding and PvE goes. So I have a question about WoW, which arguably has the best PvE in the genre.

I played WoW for 13 years, from Vanilla to WoD's prepatch (6.0). Loved it the whole time. But, when WoD launched and made all my classes 2-3 buttons, I just couldn't enjoy the game anymore. But I miss raiding, and I miss the "game" like PvP they have. I keep hearing wonderful things about Legion, but I don't know if it's really any good anymore.

SO!

  • Are the classes more than 2 buttons now?

  • Are the raids actually interesting and fun, or are they braindead now?

  • How's the lore holding up -- any more retcons?

Most Classes do have a fair amount of ability usage (at least from what I've played, I don't play all the specializations, though.)

Raids are pretty interesting, but "fun" depends on what kind of people you get (and what difficulty you're on.) Most of the time, LFR/Normal are easy enough, fairly fun and complex, but Heroic is where you'll get a bunch of folks who don't know mechanics. Somehow.

Lore - it's alright, mostly. A lot of it is fairly light, out-of-the-way stuff, as in there's some major stuff that's just hand-waved or glossed over, but there is maybe one or two good stories to be told in Legion.

Altogether, I'm surprised you're hearing good things about Legion, as personally, I feel like it's gone pretty far south so far. If you wanna know what I mean, ask and I'll tell, but for now, I just wanted to see your questions answered.

I mean, with Activision fully in charge now, and all the old Blizzard guys fired, I'm fully expecting WoW to be a shit show now.

But, yeah, almost everything I hear about Legion is good (as compared to WoD). Some people are even going so far as to compare it to Cata.

Yeah. I'll warn you, there's a lot of abstract spacing-out of content in the form of "do this x week, come back next week to do y". (they've mostly removed it, but if you're up to date like I am, the Broken Shore/Tomb of Sargeras "questline" is literally the definition of unimaginative filler.)

There's also Reputation-based quest lockouts for one reputation in specific, Dungeon/Raid attunement, and not a lot of gravity is given to the whole "legion of immortal demons coming to annihilate Azeroth" schtick. Like, you'll find more off-hand jokes than you'll find people rightly fearing the Legion.

And don't get me started on Khadgar.
