World of Warcraft: Legion

Redfox25

I think its the expanson of a main and 1 alt who you can play to a decent level.

Which is not a bad thing, they dont want the era of folks having multiple accounts with 11 garrisons in each churning out gold and gear.

This is how the game should always have been.

However, after years of it being the opposite of this, I think the sudden change in Legion is the wrong way of doing things.

I'm also loathing having to level up my ****ing weapon. Just gimme the old school talent tree back and lets get this party (re)started!

As you get more AK research on, the AP really starts rolling in. My toon is sitting in her garrison (order hall) and will pull in 4.4k AP passively , well a cost of order resources but those are simple enough to get.

Its not a bad system at all, they didn't want to give us order res. passively which is a bit of a pain for alts as you will have to play them which detracts from your main a bit.

I like the system, not sure about the rank system for the likes of mining, still looking for any level 3 rank so far, I mine regularly, I dont grind for hours at a time but still I should be seeing something at this stage.

Well, I still enjoy legion. Finally got my alt mage from warlords. I had it up to 92 with legion invasions back then and only picked it up again recently. I have to say I was spoiled with legion leveling system and it's world and getting back in to warlords was horrible! It dragged so much, I even upgraded leveling gear just to push through those few levels! It's now 102 and omfg fire mages are fecking op. Its funny how in mage hall all you can see is fire mages lol. Its my slow burner alt, so when rested go up a bit more I level up more.

As for my main. I did few mythics today as tank and all was grand. Until i joined +2 wardens one. We were just plagued with crap. Turns out 2 dps barely got bare 150k dps. So we were not able to kill stuff quickly enough. Then best part: at the elevators our instances went out of sync. I could not see the rest of the party, then I fell through the world lol. So party disbanded.
Then I joined some other group for +2 maw of souls. They asked if I did it before and I said that not a mythic, they were grand, but sceptical. Well, they were fecking beasts and we just steam rolled whole damn thing with lots of time left! 3 chests with feck all in it. Though all lads were sound as hell and I got like 3 items from them. They were definitely good players, even said I did really good there hehe. I actually thanked them for giving me a chance amd not just dropping me and they placed their faith in me correctly hehe. Sound lads and the best pug I had ever. They were mostly same guild though.
Anyway, that was my first +2 run and I got my item level to 850 with better stats to Prot then holy. I do holy only in lfr now. For mythics I enjoy tanking a lot more.

Sorry for a wall of text, but it was becoming a bit dead here.

WoW has been put on the back foot for me at the moment due to BF1 release.

Literally just logging in to make sure I have AP research going across my three 110s. I'll be back to it in a while but te BF addiction is in full swing for now.

Vicxas

I've taken a break too, playing Tomb Raider and Witcher.

I'm off next week so i may go back for the Kara stuff.

I started to level a Human Holy Paladin with friends last night. Its a lot of fun. Looking to go zone by zone and really find bits of the story I've missed, especially as I've been Horde since end of Vanilla.

Contessa Raven

I often think about starting a new toon and levelling it up the old fashioned way (no looms etc) just questing. But I always get bored and then end up doing dungeons and hammering away until I am max level.
When I made my first proper toon (dwarf rogue), I levelled her without heirlooms and I didn't even know about dungeons until level 82 or something. It was great. I remember experiencing the game and thinking how awesome all the zones were and how a quest back in an early zone was influencing a quest further on. Ahhh... I wish I could get that wonderment back!

I did the same thing during WoD with an Undead Rogue, in that I just quested until 90-odd. It was a lot of fun and you get some lovely transmog items without even trying :pac:

This time I'm doing it with two RL friends who are new to WoW. Should be good fun!

Currently download wow for the first time. What pve servers have highest enlish/irish population? so I could eventually join some guild after learning about the game.

There is a website called EU Realm Pop that shows the various populations of each faction on each server. And it shows ratio of male to female players but nothing for Nationality. I have never been in a guild with other Irish people. I am always the token Irish person. Just my experience. I always end up in guilds with lots of UK people and Scandinavians. Some of the other posters here may have more knowledge of Irish/English guilds.

I am on Bronzebeard which is a primarily alliance server and am currently an officer in a guild there. Again, we've a few UK peeps and some Scandinavians. My BNet is Pip#2634 if you want to add me. I'm happy to lend a hand if needed.

shockwave

Most Irish people are spread out across all the servers I dont think theres one that has a large Irish population.

Like that idea of levelling a character without heirlooms. I played Horde until WOTLK release and then went Alliance.
I dropped back on Horde for a bit in MOP for SOO. I do have Horde characters that I barely ever play, but toyed with the idea of levelling one up from scratch without looms through questing, just for the experience and solo play aspect. Something ELSE to do
I guess though with just so much going on in Legion and my timing all over the place with new baby in the house, I havn't really had the time to plan it out or even do it

MagicIRL

Myself and two friends ran The Deadmines as a 3-man, no Heirloom, group consisting of a Holy Paladin (me), a Hunter and a Warlock. Absolutely buckets of fun. Challenging pulls with teamwork to get the job done. Much more enjoyable than the 5man LFG rocket-trip you normally get while levelling.

We plan to do the same for all dungeons we come across. Should be finishing the Westfall quests tomorrow as well, then on to Duskwood or somewhere!

ShadowHearth

So mew patch landed today.

Is it me or now on weekly reset they give all 3 world quest chests? Or i just had it built up?
As always world boss droped gold for both rolls.
So how's karazan worms now? Any attunements? Finding group same as normal mythics? Any gear level requirements for that?
I am really sickened that I can't play much with my friends as they play at night and I am during the day. So I can't play with them. I don't want to leave guild as they are my real life friends amd we are in to wow since vanilla. So only option for karazan is pug.

Oh yeah, looks like world quests droping beefed up loot now.

was a bug on patch drop they just didnt fix for EU since US had it too.

Really? I though it was just good idea.

Anyway, I did a binge on mythics yesterday. Did like 7 lol. Karazan attunement and only after realised the weekly quest for 4 mythics. :pac:
Not much gear upgrades, but a lot of AP.
Just a noob question: you can do normal mythic only once a week amd then you locked out? Does that mean of you do, for example, normal Maw of souls mythic, you can't do maw of souls mythic +2? I know it's noobquestion, but I only now got in to them properly and loving it. Got in To habit doing my own groups. Usually takes less then 5mins.
On my next off day I'll try to make a karazan group. I am only 853 tank, but I will get similar level group for relaxed, learning group of similar level people. Elitist can feck off.

Oh yeah, in one mythic warrior got his legendary drop. Damn bastard. At least they are getting closer to me. :pac:

Redfox25

You can do a mythic and get locked, then you can do as many mythic plus for the same instance as you have keystones for, so if you rotate in alts, as many times as you want.
Some of the hardcore raid groups were doing this at the start of the expansion and carrying people along with them who had a keystone. More loot for all.
As they were capable of pushing the timers they got more by beating the time and getting extra chests.

Have to finish the attunement for Kara but expect it to take 2-3 hours to run it, at least until your group gets used to the fights and the mechanics that is.

So if I did mythic maw of souls, I can do someone else's maw of souls +2 key? Or only my own?

I got attuned and all for karazan. Did all of it yesterday. I don't get the moaners when it comes to it. Surely if you can't do mythics, you have no place in karazan.
Next proper day off ill organise a group to go to karazan. Can't wait.

You could run with your own key and any other key you can get. Farm it as often as you can get a key, use the group finder for peeps who are looking for a group to run it.

Enjoy!

Attack Power is no longer a stat, right?

I had a sword drop in Gnomergan last night (Level 26ish) that has +4 Attack Power on it still.

ShadowHearth

Okay, I kind of getting pissed off with rng in wow...

1. Still no Legendary, not even a smell of it
2. World boss today droped gold again. I killed every single one every week with reroll and I only got ONE item so far.
3. Sow world quest for STR 845i Trinket! Its 10 lvl upgrade for me as I am stuck with 835 for ages at this point. I said as long as its not Mastery, I am sounds! Guess what dropped? Yup, str/mastery... FUUUUUUUUU!
4. Mythic chest - Mastery neck and Wardens key again! **** off....

MagicIRL

Got my Holy Paladin to 101 last night. Very enjoyable. DPS is slow when questing alone so mobs are slow to die, but I am unkillable. Not as powerful soloing as something like Disc Priest was, but the lack of managing that stupid Atonement buff makes up for it.

Played a few random battlegrounds with friends and had a blast healing. The ability to get some DPS in using Judgement > Crusader Strike > Crusader Strike > Holy Fire was handy for a few killing blows here and there. I like the toolkit with the various bubbles and found I was extremely hard to kill. I miss my ranged interrupt from playing a DPS class though.

I think I'll maintain Ret or Prot as a legitimate off-spec (where I don't suck playing it) at 110, but until then I'm just going to heal my way to victory!

A side note: I'm finding it easy to play Holy with two friends new to WoW. They're unrestricted as I can keep them alive as they make mistakes and enjoy the game. Now if I could only get them to stop telling me when their health is low... I can see it boys! I got'chu, fam.

With you there on those points. I did get a legendary , from a raid of all places, thats all emissary quests since the beginning opened, junk, all the withered army for 5 weeks or more, junk most of the time and the mythic plus weekly chest too, mainly crappy gear with the wrong stats.

I think they should bring back reforging to allow us to move some of the secondary stats to more attractive ones.
