Legion - General Discussion

He said a Best in Slot Mythic raider will be 7% stronger then someone who just dinged in the PvP setting.

That's not a lot. And you'll probably be getting some gear via pvp still or something that will make you still stronger then those guys in PvP.

I'd have to go read the interview parts for the gear again really.

Vers trinket + racial passive gives about that much?

I'm sure it will work out. Just throwing in my pre-Q_Q

That's on the ladder, and that results from the top tier players needing as much as they can squeeze out to optimise their performance, and the rest of the players copying them because that's what players do.

WPvP doesn't count for shit and never did, nor will it ever. Sure somebody might be 7% stronger than you but they're going to be licking their keyboard because that's all they can do in the big mindless clusterfuck that is WPvP.

95% of the top arena teams are human because most of the top arena players are alliance and if you go horde you're locked out of 95% of the good arena partners. Racials play a part but human has never been weaker than it is currently. In MOP, Europe was alliance dominated while North American had a 90% horde representation on the high end of the ladder.

And yes, a FRESH level 110 char will be 7% behind a FULL BIS Mythic raider. Compared to how a full epic PVP gear player ATM is 250% of a full honor geared player, I mean, that's a pretty narrow gap.

Though, an update on that:

Interesting. Sort of happy with most things, just unsure pretty much how it will end up being in practice.

As well as how will this even look in the open world then.

I just fear this is all feeling quite like WoD. Cool idea and all but... I just fear come the second raid it is all over. I really hope the old world gets wrecked some how and we dont just end up at the final raid and all the iternal legions invaders have been rofled away. The iron horde just felt pathetic, I want this legion to kick our asses.

It just feels a little like it did after the WoD announcement to me.

Thanks for the update Ixirar

Bit more positive now. Just couldn't shake those Timeless Isle nightmares...

hallo guys im new to the forum, however i would like to say that yes i am looking forward to the new xpac. even more so as i main a warlock and any xpac revolved around demons is obviously going to be fun for me. also on a small vanity note iv been waiting on new demon skins for sometime now our felhunter is still if im not mistaken the same as WoW classic or not long after and for anyone buying the dulux pack a felhunter mount will go nicely with my favorite demon

mists was based on something so vague it allowed blizzard to freely play and not mess with older content by making stuff up or going fairly wild with ideas, with an xpac thats based on stuff closer to the wow world we know blizzard do have to try not contradict lore they have already made, i think there are things that blizzard wish they may of never done as it has set in stone some of the lore but thats to be expected with a game as old and lasting as wow has been

P.S the human trinket thing has been a hindrance in the game for a long time on the pvp front.. it will be nice to see it changed.. although i am concerned how well the items change pvp wise will play out in practice but we will have to see

I sure hope that release date is before September next year, unless they've lost their minds over at Blizzard.

The "deadline" or whatevet one wants to call it was some day on septermber OR before that. "Not offical release date" aside an example that people are pointing out at the moment is that WoD deadline was December, it was released in november so about 1 month before the deadline and as we all know WoD had a lot of waiting ( SOO patch) and this and that.

Hopeful as some still may be I don't see legion getting out much sooner then that deadline date. I just can't buy that "A little longer but it will be better" since it was said for WoD too and that was only the base game and 1 actual patch + Apexis + garrison 2.0 + selfies.

My advice just is don't get too hopeful else you'll surely get disapointed in the end in any matter. One thing is for sure though we'll be waiting quite a while one way or another since season 3 surely can't last too much time, maybe they will try to squeeze in the prepatch but that can't last forever either again we all remember WoD prepatch and that wasn't really anything.

Seasons last 6-7 months usually. I predict Legion in May-June.

20th of April

At least Alliance finally got their spotlight.

For the release date: Today Blizz said Overwatch was scheduled for Spring 2016, and the "deadline" for it is in June. Just to support that whole "Deadline isn't indicative of release date"

I looked closely and I can confirm that there isn't a single orc in the entire trailer.

Drow? No, more like Night Elves being even more disgusting and decided to start fucking spiders.
