World of Warcraft: Legion

Know somebody who might be like this game?

“The vengeance of the burning shadow has come. We’re standing on the brink of destruction and we must wield the power of the enemy to use it against them. For the burning legion has returned!” Excited much? Well you should be! The sixth expansion set from the World of Warcraft franchise, ‘Legion’ following on from ‘Warlords of Draenor’ has been very well received by its huge fanbase and for good reason. With many of the loyal Warcrafters left a little disappointed with some of the more recent expansion sets, Blizzard were determined to raise the bar with Legion and they’ve done just that.

As massively multiplayer online role-playing games go (what a mouthful!), there are few that can compete with World of Warcraft and Legion has only cemented that opinion. With the opportunity to level up to 110, Legion takes you back to Azeroth and to a whole new continent known as the Broken Isles - made up of six different zones. New Dungeons and Raids feature along with a whole new hero class known as Demon Hunters. Architect weapons and a new honour system give the new expansion set a fresh feel and is sure to excite fans worldwide.

Legion is what destroyed WoW.Worst class ever conceived.Specs completely destroyed. Destro and Demo Warlock, Survival Hunter, ShadowLegion is what destroyed WoW.Worst class ever conceived.Specs completely destroyed. Destro and Demo Warlock, Survival Hunter, Shadow Priest, Combat ->Outlaw Rogue.Convoluted progression systems that carved away any sense of growth during the leveling up process. And the worst part is that at the end of every expansion it is taken from us.Legion seriously damaged WoW and we're still suffering from its flawed gameplay design.

They tried a lot more with Legion than with Warlords of Draenor but they completely missed the mark in their two biggest draws; LegendariesThey tried a lot more with Legion than with Warlords of Draenor but they completely missed the mark in their two biggest draws; Legendaries and Artifact Weapons.The artifact system is very unforgiving, the catchup mechanics are only stop gaps and the later you join the expansion the farther you will be behind anyone. God forbid you want to change which character you 'main'.The weapons themselves could be done far better. There's only one iconic weapon that was made into an artifact (the Ashbringer) with most of the others being completely new additions to the world/lore of the game or weapons that were fairly obscure before hand. The hidden skin system is an absolute laugh as well. Most were simple affairs of RNG without much actual effort (or skill) to acquire.Then there is the legendary system, and the main problem with this entire expansion. In a game where you play to primarily play to increase the strength of your character by their items/gear, the system of Legendaries in Legion is an absolute farce. RNG baked into RNG and god forbid if you don't get a decent legendary and one of the extremely mediocre utility ones. The system is neither fair or balanced and the fact that someone at Blizzard got paid to design it is a joke.The legendary system is worse than Garrisons, another of those great ideas but completely wrong execution features in the game. Except Legion has only been out for less than 4 months and the current problem is far worse than what Garrisons did to Warlords of Draenor.I would contemplate returning for their first actual 'tier' of raid (they have purposely time gated it for some reason) but by that time I would be too far behind other people in Artifact Power, not to mention behind people with good legendaries, that it wouldn't be worth it.Even the World Quest system is boring and quite buggy, with quests not showing up on your map or actual bugs where you can't complete them or what not since launch that have not been fixed. Also, every other week it seems like a bunch of people get banned for 'exploiting' bugs that Blizzard implements in their game without checking.All in all, I give Legion a 3. For trying. But there are already way too many flaws to consider this even a 'good addition' to the Warcraft franchise

For the first time in years, it's easy to meet up with other players, drawn together by enticing new stories.

An exhilarating return to Azeroth. World of Warcraft is as polished as ever and the newest expansion adds a few neat tweaks to the familiar formula.
