On Friday I was levelling up some Archeology on an alt and after 5 minutes of flying what popped in my head: “Legion was great”. Yes, all expansions have flaws. But after BFA and this stale period of Shadowlands made me appreciate Legion even more.
Though I have to add: I came on board around halfway the expansion (though I think it was the second big patch), so a lot of it was tweaked by then.
Edit: I went to check it, I joined in 7.1, 6 days after its release.
For world bosses they were dumb because hidden artifact appearances were tied to some of them and they were on a random cycle.
I believe Nithog took 6 months to come back around at one point.
It was good, but could have been excellent if they changed a few things.
I was still on my wow break when legion dropped but from what I have seen Warlocks had an Infernal as a pet?
Legion was the last good expansion for PVP/PVE which is sad when you consider were 2 expansions ahead now and both have been complete flops.
No we are only at the very start of the second expansion do not judge this expansion BEFORE it ends.
IF you looked at Legion at THIS very point in legion it was not a good expansion it was an ok one but not a good one it had a whole lot of problems.
Specs required full reworks at this point in time yet in legion, there was specs that was not working as intended.
You need to see the last patch of the expansion before you make that judgment.
At this point Legion already had 2 content patches…
And legion was worked on for 6years that is the same development time as Vanilla world of warcraft. You should expect more from it than other expansions.
And they had 2 teams work on it.
WoD was abandoned to work on legion a full year of time was no dev time on WoD to get Dev time on Legion.
You should expect more from legion then other expansions.
Legion was what started this meaningless seasonal ratrace where any progress was completely wiped out whenever a new patch came out. What’s there to be nostalgic about?
He is just like you allowed a subjective view stop telling others how they should feel and think .
I think you mean wrath not legion
That happened way way earlier mate. Technically even already during TBC but in the very least during WotLK.
He is judging a book by its cover.
And judging another book by reading it from one end to the other and knowing the end ignoring all the bad parts of the book because the end was good. (at least that is what it sounds like for me)
And then comparing those 2 books as if he knows what are the better one of the books by doing this.
Finding the book good or bad is subjective claiming to know what you subjectivly will find better based on not reading one of the books but you have been reading the whole book for another is not subjective.
One of these books you do not know if you will like yet because you do not know how it will go.
No he has a subjective view just like you nothing else .
Still. To make a fair comparison one would need to compare the first tier of legion with the first tier of shadowlands. While also keeping in mind that M+ was introduced with legion and one of its main marketing points and at this point has become “same old same old” instead of “woah, neat”.
The first Tier of Legion wasnt all in all that good either. It became way better during ToS and then Argus while also still having major downsides like Legendary system or certain items that should never have existed in its form (arcano crystal for nearly every bloody class. I still thank the gods that the item was trash for me)
True but one should not tell others how to feel about things thats all i am saying .
And i am not telling others how to feel i am simply saying you have to be judging based on the same parameters.
Don’t get me wrong, all expansions has had elements of it whether from Valor gear, ToC style filler content or timeless isle ilvl upgrades but Legion was the expansion where to me, the catchups and changes started feeling a lot more aggressive and invasive. They were no longer something that made at least a modicum of sense within the game but instead became divine interventions from the heavens (blizz).
Soft capped legendaries, soft capped artifact powers with weekly increases and m+ which I think was and still is a good system overall has driven expansion wide gear progression to the graveyard. Granted my memory is fuzzy going back 13+ years but I can’t remember any expansion having systems that invasive prior to Legion unless LFD and the 3 ICC dungeons counts which they might.
I think that blizzard dropped the idea of wanting people to go through past patches in order to catch up with the rest of the player base when wrath launched honestly. Before that you had to do all the attunements in tbc and it took forever to even get on par with other players if you started late into the expansion.
In wotlk you could just farm badges on end through dungeons and buy gear from vendors, which carried on after in cata as well just with justice points and valor points.
The whole thing started way back imo
Getting people attuned for TK was such a drag it was the start of people chopping and changing guilds at that point . My guild killed BT before we could finish Vash and KT as people just hated those fights and refused to sign for them .
