World Of Warcraft: Legion Review "Is It Worth Playing?"
• World Of Warcraft: Leg... - เกม
My fav expansion since WOTLK. Tones of fun and things to do so far. I love the feeling and need to log on.
And i been seen so much players camed back from WOTLK becouse of Legion
NikiZoo NikiZoo That's fucking awesome.
Little Pierogi ikr
Little Pierogi and those news are good actually the people who camed back since 7 years just wow
Personally I feel Legion is very well done it feels like TBC, WotLK and MoP wrapped into one which I love, I haven't felt this excited to play wow since WotLK everything is very well done across the board and I heard & read that Blizzard has already got 4 patches ready for the expansion which is also a good sign in it's self that goes to show they learned their lesson with WoD.
Hey guys I'm gonna be streaming Legion most mornings from 9am-11am UK time over at Twitch TV if you have any questions or wanna chat - www.twitch.tv/the_lazy_peon
damn son 9 am for you is like 1 am for me xD
but ill try
i always wanted to start playing wow but it seems theres too much to learn and consume or it's gonna take along time to get to a point where you know what you're actually doing.
+Dexa Cat yeah same for me
I just want to take a sec to appreciate your vids peon. They've always been amazing quality and a great way to show off coming MMOs. Thanks man
I dont know if i need see this video if i see comment like this :D Why i think it will be possitive review? :P Just a feeling :D Let see, gona watch it :P
Hey dude, funny little noob story here. Started playing Wow a month or so back for the first time ever. I'd watched a few of your videos before but never knew that a Lazy Peon was an in game character. So when I saw an AI called a Lazy Peon I legit thought it was you, until I put 2+2 together. Kinda embarrassing standing next to an AI asking if it was a youtuber and receiving no reply...
Lmao XD thanks for the story
Hey since you're new, check out the curse website for addons, they can really help smooth out your quality of life in a ton of things you do
NPC*
Lazy orcs
Probably the best review I've seen of Legion.
Agreed.
Liofa agreed
bcs hes a fan boy.
I love tab targeted combat, it feels so much more solid and connected. To me action combat just feels like you're aimlessly aoeing and cleaving
same thought here, tab targeting seems more comfortable imo
+Chubby Skah yeah and latency isn't as much if a factor since you don't have t dodge in real time
Also combat is more complex, procs, rotation, cooldowns, etc. Most action oriented games have very few skills (WildStar, Black Desert Online) and combat gets stale quick.
I agree, tab targeting is the best combat system
And it makes PvP feel like every fking noob can do it. No, please Blizzard never change targeting.
I tried to play WoW numerous times in the past and always ended up quitting really early on in the game. Decided to give it another try just before Legion came out to mostly do invasions and what have you. I am so glad I gave the game another shot, since I am enjoying it greatly.
Money well spent.
i picked WoW up when i was around 12, but it took about a year for me to get to lvl 80 back then xD
First newbie experience is the best experience in WoW.
took me 6months to get to level 85 on my first time ahahah
at the end of WOD, you came back at arguably the lowest point in wows history. good on you sticking it out lol.
I thought this would be another hate comment.
How could people hate Legion though?
awsome video keep it up hopefully watch a few of ur streams
Jesus what a comprehensive video. Amazing.
I don't understand the hate on tab targetting. I personally love it and have always since I started in TBC, in fact I think the new style is very dull and uninteresting.
The only difference between the two is the illusion of there being a difference.
Mostly because many MMOs have really boring and static tab targeting, WoW and GW2 are exceptions to this I think
have u tried the new one?
tab targeting is fine but no other mmos put as much effort into so they usually come off clunky. Imo, Black Deserts open combat system is the best I've ever seen and i doubt ill be able to pick something else up until Camelot Unchained comes out
+Cypress Grove i haven't tried black desert, but Tera is keeping me hooked since i find such combat system most compeling to me. i am waiting for gloria victis, crowfall & chronicles of eloria (i think its called), games that will help mmo genre get back on its feet
As someone who hasn't played WoW since WotLK (for reasons other then the game itself a.k.a. no money), after watching this video, I'm just jumping around with excitement for playing this game again. Even after so many years, the game looks incredible, it hasn't aged nearly as much as I thought, if at all.
If anything (with a few exceptions), the gameplay has gotten much better over the years, and the community is as rich as ever.
Even such a short video of it brings me back to this epic fantasy world and ignites my imagination like few other things can.
Gotta give massive credits to Blizzard for keeping the game the game of my childhood alive and well even after so many years.
*tips fedora :D
True :)
Its basically the same game is draenor. All that has really happened is they "Streamlined" all of the class specs aka dumbed them all down. Haven't seen anything in the expansion so far that would make me think it will be any different than the previous expansions. After the first month 90% of the playerbase will drop off again.
I came back to WoW for Legion, haven't played since TBC. The game is fantastic now, feels so much more modern, it has aged like fine wine.
"community is as rich as ever" haha, see if you feel that way in a month or two. There's no such thing as community. Just queues.
Oh my god, this hit me so hard. "Just queues" rofl
I always come to your channel for MMO suggestions. You're great, dude!
Very insightful. I have been debating on if i was going to buy it. But i have been hearing a lot of great reviews and this has been the most comprehensive guide i have seen so far. Thanks.
I don't even play WoW, but I have to watch every new video you post! Keep up the good work. You're almost at 300k subs!
I'm in the same boat xD I never got into WoW yet here i am watching a video about it just because Peon put it out. lol
I dont know why but I do the same :D
I use to play WoW but couldn't keep up with paying for the monthly fee :(
gold is so easy to come by now, that it has become essentially free to play after that first initial month
can you get free playtime by turning in gold (like EVE online)? Or are we just talking gold-farming for real money?
WoW got resurrected, in my honest opinion!
BLIZZARD GAMES NEVER DIE!!
+The “Awesome” Bacon Gamer Well said, my friend. I always liked WoW, but people stopped playing it and considered it dead.
You can't know if they'll pull a Draenor on us. But I, at least for now, am having a blast.
+Wow Jedi dont keep your hope up too much? People says the same for the beginning of WOD.
Look how it turns out in the end
Wow will get old eventually. The players that play wow are returning and veteran players, and the game will never be as populated as it was back in wrath of the lich king. Give it some years and it will go buy to play and blizzard will move on to the next big project, and by that point it will just be another 'runescape'.
To me, Legion reminds me of The Force Awakens. Ultimately, we can't go back to when it was unquestionably amazing, but this, I think could be the start of something new.
good comparison
force awakens was a large piece of shit. legion is actually okay.
I hear you man, nostalgia brought me here hoping that this game would draw me back to play WoW. Unfortunately i wont be after this video
wow dude, you covered it really really well! thanks for going in depth on this topic.
now i am sure i need to get it and get back into it with my shammy!
So Legion is basically more like Guild Wars 2 in a lot of areas? Sounds nice
Yeah, they've taken a lot of aspects from it imo, there's even a few little jumping puzzles for treasures around the world
'Not a WoW fanboy' .....Name literally is a pun from WoW
wait.... how does his name make him a fanboy? Do you know what a fanboy is or are you just being sarcastic :P
a lazy peon is a character in wow
Ok, so by the same logic , 'Halofollower' is not strictly a halo fanboy just because his name is that. Are you trying to be sarcastic? or do you really think there is no connection here
OK so you don't know the difference from a FAN and a FANBOY...
Look at all these fucking polemicists and contrarians coming out. Regardless of the differing definitions of 'fan' and 'fanboy' in your handy dictionaries, please explain how someone who has a channel devoted to WoW for the past few years and is literally known throughout the WoW community and beyond as a pun-name from the games is not a fanboy, just because WoD left a sour taste in his mouth.
In my dictionary, the only difference between a Fan and a Fanboy is the amount of pubes present.
Good choice in background music, I will never tire of Stormheim's soundtrack.
really good review of legion. Covers what is good, what is bad, and what has potential for legion.
No Hogger is not the endboss of Legion.
nope its murky XD
You're both wrong it's obviously a seagull
No a dh gnome is final boss.
The seagulls in Eye of Azshara man, op as fuck.
How dare you say such weak names!
The end boss is the one whom we have all prepared to face...
PREPERE TO FACE THE MIGHTY MILHOUSE MANASTORM!!!
bro...its been out for like 12 days...
... some people dislike grinding...why play an mmo then?
Depends on what the grinding is.
Grinding apexis crystals for a mount (Corrupted dreadwing) is not the kind of grind I like , but hey everyone has his opinion
the story lines in the questing zones are engaging enough to not feel so grindy.
If you're a lore junky, it's kind of an emotinal roller coaster.
Soooo many major lore figures die.
It's like game of thrones. No one is safe now XD.
well... except the player. There's no permadeath I mean.
rofl mate go play some MOBA game if you don't like grinding you lazy fuck
>playing mobas
Oh boy
Nice, informative video. Thanks for the effort!
Nice work, thanks for the overview
Legion was the final nail in the coffin for me. Hope everyone is having a blast tho.
How is that?
What drugs are you on? So far, it's as good as WotLK to me.
You mean WoD. How in the hell could Legion be the nail but not WoD?
yeah, and wotlk was fucking shit too.
Because WoW had its highest sub numbers in LK. Data says it was a good expac.
FOR THE HORDE!
#MakeHordeGreatAgain
+Drug and Alcohol Lady wanting to not have your entire faction killed = traitorous and weak
k
Pfft, your new King is not even close to the badass levels of Sylvanas.
+Wow Jedi horde + alliance = win
+Drug and Alcohol Lady your king got stabbed by a trash mob and died...
Thanks for this review. It's been six years since I last played and now I think I should give this expansion a chance.
Super video mate, brilliantly edited too :)
also, for the con - alt unfriendly, the Artifact knowledge mechanic is ramping up quickly the amount of Artifact power you can obtain after a short while.into the game. if you have an alt, level them up soon rather than later to get earning (via work orders)
Blizzard have stated it can be sped up for players further behind as time goes on, so the order takes less time to complete.
As an old Vanilla/TBC/Wrath player, i'm fucking loving Legion. Couldn't stand Cata or Panda, WoD was meh. But this is feeling like a game I can love again.
I personally loved Cata, MoP was pretty good and WoD is probably my least favourite. Is Legion pretty good?
I never got to see cata, although I bought it. 2 days after cata hit the servers, my youngest baby was born. I literally missed the whole of Cata, and still trying to catch up on some stuff I missed, like the legendary staff in firelands and the achievements/pets/mounts etc. I came back to wow halfway through Mop, did not mind WoD, but never found it overly fascinating, but I am also loving Legion :D xx
But you're challenged, Jamie, so no wonder.
+Pagnah what?
Shame, I also play since BC and to me Pandaria was the best expansion.
I just cant get into WoW no matter how hard i try
same with me
Same here! :o
noobs...noobs everywhere!!!! :)
It's definitely alienated new players since Wrath of the Lich King.
I played since late vanilla and I have same problem nowadays with WoW.......since WoD I just can't play this game anymore.Legion ain't that bad but I am already spent with this game and so are many others......played ONLY this game for 10 years,I think my time has come :)
I stopped blaming blizz since its mostly about my interest and that's what most people don't get with WoW.......if you played for too long you will eventually get bored no matter how great the game still is.
Well done video, I havnt played WoW since BC. Possibly looking at getting back into it for legion
Bro this review was deep. Thank you so much. You did an incredible job.
"Im not a World of Warcraft fanboy"
*Names his channel literally after something from World of Warcraft*
WoW Legion is best expansion that Blizzard ever mad, should use spec fantasy to help class fantasy!!!
Very informative, good job :-)
4 minutes into this video and all i can say is you did a GREAT job on it. The atmosphere and the narration have me feeling so much nostalgia...must buy xD
I dunno man, as good as this all is WoD broke my heart so bad I am not sure I want to commit to rejoining the game. I would need to cough up at least 65 dollars to resume playing which I do not have and I am not sure it is worth saving up for. WoW has been getting more expensive and along with its drop in overall quality I am not sure it is worth its cost anymore.
This is definifty worth the money. It's as good as wotlk.
up untill now the leveling has been a blast and artifacts are awesome. world quests are fun too and the order halls are social versions of garrisons. they said they learned from WoD and are planning to keep the content coming all the way up to the next expansion.
***** I would trust actually. If you were to pay attention to this year's plans that they announced, there planning on keeping the Xpac alive and flowing until the new one is released. They even said themselfs that they just didn't produce content at the end and they even regretted it.
***** there has been reasons for the last content draught tho. people where complaining about draughts in cata and Mop so they came with the plan to just make shorter expansions. but they soon discovered that to make a fun good polished expansion they needed a lot more time so they had to delay it a year.
they said they will have 2 teams now. one on focussing on the next expansion and one on focussing on the current one
Its basically the same as warlords. The only major change you will feel is the dumbing down of all classes into their sub class specs.
You will always be a World of Warcraft youtuber
Amazing overview of the new expansion, well narrated and reviewed, thanks man.
nice review, and exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.
I never played any mmo but I really enjoy ur vids man keep it up
Thanks dude :)
WHAT?! u rly shoud!
LEGION so far is an amazing expansion in comparison to WOD
Blizzard have reacquired that TBC feel
Not quite the level of epic
With the ease at which everyone can acquire almost everything
But the game goes along way back in that direction of hooking you on an epic adventure
While still advancing modern elements of the game
Ill go as far to presume
That Blizzard have been working on Legion before WOD was launched
WOD was a filler because they were not ready to launch Legion after MOP
WOD was handled by low pay interns that is why it was garbage
Ill give Legion its dues
Aside the stupid garrison hall missions and followers
Trump has made warcraft great again
Order Halls are still way better than garriosns, because you'll never stay there for long anyways, you'll be busy going out and doing World Quests, prefession quests, mythic dungeons, all that sort of stuff :P
yup the order hall is great. the follower missions on the menu table are garbage tho. that menu table should show world quests or zone details. they should delete the garbage follower missions from the game :/
TSIXGaming Eh, I don't mind too much :P It's a nice way to get a little bit of extra gold xD
Kefka Palazzo true or some gear and toys and alot of gold :)
I liked wod but then im a ganker so didnt touch garrisons, i waited outside waiting to kill, was great fun ^^
you make the best reviews hands down. very detailed.
This was very well thought out, great job on the video man.
isn't it kinda ironic that wow is the best mmo for more than 10 years? honestly, I tried so many newer and older mmo's but none of them felt like a place to stay. I mean I don't like wow either, tab targeting and the subscription model isn't what I'm looking for, but it feels like there was no progression with mmo's in all these years.
w/e love your video's lazypeon
That has been an issue for like a decade. People want to move on to another mmo because they get tired of wow, but there isn't another good one.
jade XY true and wow is the most oldest mmo game
+NikiZoo WoW came out in 2004...mmo's go back to the 90s, like Everquest and Ultima Online
What's wrong with tab targetting?
+Mark Maurice it's just a personal preference, I want to dodge everything and it's kinda annoying to die/get damaged by aimshots... Hard to explain, it's like when i play an archer class I want to aim at my enemies (like hanzo in overwatch) and not just clicking at them.
You should scroll down, there's a discussion about tab targetting or action combat
I rode MOP till its final days, played WoD during the hype train, and after playing enhance during Pre legion, I couldn't get into it. The game music is frighteningly alluring though.
i love your videos. very stringent and eloquent, and a pleasant, engaging voice, which is rare. keep it up bro
Nice, I might try getting back into the game at some point thanks to this video.
artifact system is not "alt unfriendly" at all becouse on your alts you don't have to grind as much artifact power thing as you do with your main character!
indeed! he miss things everytime :P
wait really? so alts get artifact power faster? pls enlighten me i NEED to know for my warrior
yes. is something called "artifact knowledge". it allow you to get artifact power faster. look "Artifact Knowledge is a hidden currency that determines the rate at which you gain Artifact Power in Legion. There are 25 levels of Knowledge that you can research, each level adds a specific multiplier to your Artifact Power gains"
You have to grind the same amount, the only difference is that the artifact research takes 3 days if you are very behind instead of 5, which is not too big of a difference
Artifact knowledge only applies to one character. It affects one class's specs. Alts are not affected by attaining more artifact knowledge on your main. Alts will need to research their own artifact knowledge.
On a personal level, I think I'm still completely in love with World of Warcraft lore, but not the game at all. I've been watching numerous cutscenes (Y'sharah broke my nerd heart) and it's honestly more fun to just watch how the story unfolds, rather than actually playing the game. I was one of the World PvP fanatics during vanilla, burning crusade and wrath of the lich king - even despite flying mounts making it a pain in the ass.
I really wanted to see them revamp the game into something more progressive, but it's too late for me either way. I just really look forward to following the overall story - does anyone know of any youtuber out there who uploads story driven questing from Legion? I can't be the only one who would play the game solely for that purpose.
Check out Nobbel87, he is youtubes wow lore guru :)
I agree you will love Nobbel87 if your really into the lore like i am.
Thanks a lot guys! :)
Flying mounts weren't really a pain back then because barely anybody had epic flying because of the gold cost. That and the lack of dungeon finder really helped the game be awesome and gave you a reason to walk around old zones and keep the world populated.
Really good and honest video Peon, i found myself playing a lot in this expansion, seems that there is always something to do, which is nice and helps to keep me interested. Just one thing to add regarding the subscription model, there are the Time Tokens that you can buy in the Action House for gold to pay your monthly fee if you dont want to pay with real money.
The only thing about the mission table I might slightly disagree with is that it isn't ONLY for gating content. You also get dungeon/raid quest objects that send you to kill the final boss in that content and gives you a cache with extra loot. It's literally the cache missions from WoD except you have to go do it now instead of your followers. You also get a nice supply of AP and gold from it.
Leveling taking longer? Lol, i capped on Day 2 :D
Currently at Ilvl 835+Wow Jedi
I'm 840 ilvl ;)
I'm ready for the boss world quests, mythic+ and raiding now ^^
I remember a few hours after launch, there were already lvl 110 people. Really fast.
Dat Boi i sawed that 2
people who dont like grinds shoulndnt even play this game
Saided the lol player lmao
+NikiZoo NikiZoo what the fuck does that even mean
i love wow and i dont mind grinding lol and you judging me based on my name shows how dumb you are
players who hate grind just want their sht handed to them then they complain to bliz about how it's too easy and boring
People who don't like grinds shouldn't even play MMORPGs at all, they should go back to Club Penguin
Iam watching you for about 1 year and it's better and better. Please don't stop making these "Is It worth playing" videos. Love them PS. Sorry for my english and greetings from the Czech Republic
Thanks Peon, nice video! helpt me decide alot!
What do you Think about shamans?
Fun as hell to play, shame that elemental is so weak though
+TheLazyPeon try unholy DK it's really fun and powerful
Does Shamans need strength?
+Bill Nye the Cipher Guy agility for enhancement
+Bill Nye the Cipher Guy intellect for ele or resto
Can i get a cookie?
I didn't say first!
:D
You did...
+Král Václav I. lmfao
nooo they are all mines!
+Král Václav I. no he typed it gimme your ring
What music is playing behind you? Absolutely love it
i just want to say lazy that i always enjoy your videos they are well explained and always give both sides of the coin, ive been thinking alot about going back with all the great news i been hearing but i just would hate for it to be another WoD , your one of the few youtubers who doesn't fall into the launch hype and forget all the bad from last expansion, thanks again and i will be trying it !!!!! great job on the vids keep it up
If you are a PVE player and wow fan boy. YES BUY IT!
You want serious pvp ? DONT Buy it.
Is being a WoW channel a bad thing?
Yes man if you depend on ONE type of content overall, it's obviusly bad bc not everyone likes WoW, plus if that specific content (WoW) dies, the channel dies with it.
+GiuseppeDope WoW will never die...who am I kidding Xdddd it will probably die in the next 5 years
Well worded script, nicely organized, beautifully described. Great Job
Cheers bro! I will checking it out for sure once I get some money and time 😂😁
you greedy fucker going for that third bubble in the sky :P
Ayy lmao im the first
I didn't even watched the video and i already know what you're about to say......yes, of course you're going to say yes. 80% of the videos on your channel are of wow......
Informative; good job. I quit during WoD and I'm giving Legion more time before I make up my mind. Now it hinges on if Legion will end up like WoD (ignored). Will see. Thanks for posting.
Very nice review. Thank you!
I personally like MMO's with communities that interact with eachother, I've always found that players in W.O.W are so secluded and lonely. I remember back in the day playing runescape from 2004-2007 players would ALWAYS talk and chill and do quests together. Runescape was the ultimate MMO in terms of PVP and community back in the day. All these MMO's now are similar in that you mostly got to lone wolf shit and it makes it boring.
Detroit LionsSB51 Wow players weren't always secluded, the game just went that direction due to blizzard changing how the game was played. I haven't played the game in almost 2 years now, I personally won't return to it. It was great back in the day and had a lot of great memories, but it's not the same anymore.
Collin Corbell its the community not the game people now days are just busy doing that stuff because these days alot of kids play wow like me im telling you idont care about communicating its a new gen deal with it, blizzard didnt ruin their game its the new players did blizzard just adapt what the new gen is so stop saying blizz ruin the game
Collin Corbell you just hate it because you stuck on that generation its like saying ilike my child hood because i dont go work and think taxes
I've been playing on an old WotLK private server for a while now and it's way more social than the main servers for some reason. Everybody is helping each other out, veterans dish out newbie gold, and people literally rush to the aid of others the moment they see issues. It's a different world almost. Then again, I mainly play Alliance and they have a ton of healing potential in their class/race options.
"some people dislike any grind and won't do it at all"
Why even consider taking up WoW? It's an MMORPG, of course there will be grind.
Not true but ok
love the channel, keep up the great work =)
Glad your back with it, great video man.
honestly hate how you have to pay for the game then pay monthly
Same. I would be playing the game if it wasn't so expensive.
I mean... most hobbies cost money
MashedPotatoTown how do I pay for subscription? And 40 dollars for wow and legion is very reasonable imo
the best mmos around require a monthly subscription
This game is worth the money. I even pay extra in the means of Pre-purchase Expansions for the extra mounts and goodies for the other Blizz games which I play too. Blizz has an amazing asorment of high quality popular games and WoW is the crown jewel. It has all the options to please all kinds of players. Casual up to top 50 guilds
Shit.. I might have to resub
What's the song that played during the intro/disclaimer?
Great review, far more informative than official game site reviews.
Best game EVER!
Short Answer = No, Long Answer = No.
You seem biased :P
Well put man! I'm loving Legion, and as someone who didn't do any of the WoD mission table stuff, I don't mind the mission table's return! Gives me something to fiddle with in class lol
Best review I have seen of this by a country mile. Well done mate.
how are world quests not daily quests ? it's litteraly the same thing under a diffrent name /facepalm it's MoP all over again. altho this time around yo have to do them for the entire EXPANSION
I didn't say they weren't daily quests, I simply said they don't feel as crap as the dailies we used to have, I also mentioned that with system there's room for more to be added to increase the variety
well we had mop daily variety too i doubt blizzard is going to wast much time on more world quest variety they'll give us a couple new raids and continue working on the next expansion im pretty sure they already started. at this point in time it still too early to judge. imo its all new and alot of stuff to explore give it another half a year and maybe then ask yourself again is it worth it. im realy not being offensive here you cant realy judge WoW in the first couple weeks or months since its been designed to keep you busy for this long.
World quests are not "literally the same thing" as daily quests. In fact, that couldn't be a more uninformed statement.
There's a number of significant differences between World Quests and daily quests that keeps World Quests fresh and is nothing like MoP:
1. World quests have no daily hubs (Like Isle of Thunder, Krasarang Wilds, Timeless Isle, or even Tol Barad or Argent Tournament / Icecrown). This means you have an entire continent to do them in. You aren't relegated to a specific zone, or even a specific area of a zone.
2. They aren't "daily". World quests have spawn times which vary.
3. They can be completed in any order / on-demand. If you don't want to go to a specific area you don't have to. Or, if you want to concentrate questing in one zone, you can. You don't have to complete 2 or 3 quests (or more) to get through a whole chain so that it properly resets the next day. You can do just one. You can do 15. In any order you so choose.
4. They have dungeon variants. So no more sitting there grinding alligators for an hour. You can go kill some bosses in a group from group finder and get a quest done.
5. Every reputation and tradeskill is represented by them.
6. There are practical rewards that rival and sometimes surpass what you can get from zone quests (for example, I have a quest right now to kill two bosses in the Maw of Souls, that can reward up to ilvl 855 pants... 25 ilvls higher than what I have on now). I've upgraded half my gear in 4 days from World quests and am sitting at ilvl 825 with only one Heroic under my belt. I've seen money rewards of up to 650g for ONE quest. There are artifact relic rewards. There are Crafting item rewards. They are very lucrative.
7. Every quest rewards rep gains for the faction it is "given by".
8. Completing 4 for a zone gives additional rewards from the "given by" faction (which is completely optional).
9. There is a tremendous variety of quests. From simple kill quests, to interactive objective quests, to defense quests, to PVP, and even pet battles... there's something for everyone. There's even a whole minion control instanced scenario that will pop up as a World quest (like the Trove of the Thunder King, but cooler, as you control an army of withered elves).
10. There are varied degrees of challenge too. If you think you can take that mini-boss, you can go for it, or start a Premade group for it (or wait for folks to show up). Or, if you just want to pretty mindlessly bombard a town of renegade Vry'kul from the back of a Stormdrake, that's out there as well.
The only similarity between World Quests and daily quests, is that yes, eventually, the World Quests will repeat. But there are so many, it will take some time before you're repeating all of them enough to notice.
People complained that WoD lacked content at release. Well guess what... they gave us World Quests to do, and its PLENTY.
are you able to do those world quests more then 1 time a day ? it doesnt matter where you have to go and do them they are still daily quests yes they have more variety it still doesnt make them not daily quests. if you like questing so much fine i hate questing i hated mandatory daily quests but it was fine when i was done preparing for raids, this is what the game is all about for me raids. so being forced into "world quests" day by day for the rest of the expansion to stay competitive is a huge no go for me so the cons overweight in my book. but thats just my opinion maybe i just grew out of WoW's whole concept i've been playing since early BC WoD killed the game for me and legion is not able to revive my love for WoW sadly
Wait... what? Are you able to do those world quests more than one time a day? Some... yes. Some don't show up for days. There are dozens of them that appear randomly throughout the world on (sometimes) an hourly basis. Sometimes its several hours. Sometimes you can get the exact same quest show up shortly after finishing it. It's random.
Please re-read what I wrote. Your questions and concerns are already addressed or a moot issue.
These are "World Quests". Not "daily quests". They are optional. You can raid all you want (once the raids come out in a week)... you DON'T HAVE TO DO THEM if you absolutely don't want to. But they are there for another form of play and "something fun" to do while you're waiting on your raid to start.
I can't afford the monthly subscription tho :/
Find a job
Easier said than done.
ikr
play private servers
Yea if you can't afford the price of a pizza a month you probably you're in poverty and either need a job or a second job
Very nice and thorough video about the new expansion and the gameplay overall. It is still relevant even though a lot more new content is out there now :)!
Very nicely made video, thanks. I didn't enjoy the raiding after LK or what was happening to the game in general. I hate questing and get it done asap so I can get raiding again. Is the raid content at least as good as LK?
Hey Peon, please comment to make my day bro
am I good enough? :D
or am I?
what about the flash?
u can have 2 cookies :^)
Comment peon
All the cons were just opinion and speculation.. A lot of people like the game those cons.. Also if Wow was free to play it would suck, just like all free to play games.
I agree, the game would end up being trash if it was free
TheLazyPeon If I'm going to spend a lot of time playing a game I don't mind paying for it. as long as it's worth the money. Also in my opinion for a Con should be that it is an aging game and that it's still the great old game we all loved with some extra polish however even if we still love it, things become old..
Not all games LOTRO is amazing but is sadly dead
Subscription is a huge pro imo
Its dead cause the population is like ten thousand on biggest server and most of the people are centered in starting area
Nice video. In your opinion, what are the "boring" specs/classes that you mentioned? I'd like to check them out
this is one of the best reviews i have ever seen really good job man
hi peon ive been watching you since 50k subs could you please respond to this comment that would be really fun or atleast say hi love your vids #PROUDSUB
Thanks for sticking around dude :)
No Probelm TheLazyPeon XD ive always loved your channel and will keep supporting it :D
I cant stand action combat games, it feels like they dumb down every mechanic so that it is easily exploitable and avoidable. It makes the experience less fun where as all I am doing is "move out of the colored spot on the ground" and you can defeat enemies that are far higher level than you.
Yea, some like it, some don't, i prefer tab targeting, but action combat feels alot more modern, fast and different. Most people that say they don't like tab targeting are probably old wow players that have just had too much of it, action combat is dumbed down that's for sure, there's a reason it's the prefered way of fighting in console rpg's.
I would not called action combat dumbed down. Instead of relying on a lot of skills, auto locking, and worrying about cooldowns. Action combat just allows you think about what skills you need and react to the movements of your target. It rewards timing, positioning, and precision. It just feels more engaging to players. It requires you to rely on different parts of your brain other than what you use for tab targeting. Not dumbed down just different.
TheBlakamon15 I find it to be easier and easier to exploit, especially coming from a heroic (later mythic) raider, getting out of things and standing in the correct places comes second nature. That is why I see it as dumbed down. With tab targeting you have to preplan what skills you are going to use, there is also the element of needing to stand still so you can cast, where as action combat games, you can just cast on the move, I can't stand that, I am glad they removed that from WoW.
move out of the colored spot on the ground? tab targeting has that also........action comabt requires more reflex and skill no doubt about that....tab targeting is numbers math cooldowns and stale rotations.
TheWesnik No, it really doesn't. I would say it is the same as WoW raiding, except you can completely avoid all the damage in most of the games. It is a joke because in almost all of them you can cast and melee attack on the move, and you just keep moving, rarely is it a challenge.
Take wildstar, I quit that game because it was a fucking joke how easy it was to get out of things after coming from heroic/mythic raiding in wow.
i found this really helpfull. Thanks man :)
Thank you. excellent video. So quick question. I like raiding in general, and my fear if I go back to wow is that it consume ALL my time like it has in the past.
Being in a progression based raid guild has always just consumed you to hell, also in the grind for items to be able to raid.
What are your thoughts there. Is wow legion going to be something that you can only do Hardcore, or is it realistic to think you can play legion casually and still see some decent content? (Casually - no more then 2 hours a day on average)
I will return to wow when they finally remove the subscription fee.
Sinier940n That's why I'm holding off from trying it
I you have never played wow, i highly recommend Elysium vanilla private server which IMO is superior to Legion.
Sinier940n I don't have a PC :(
Sinier940n that would be the day that WoW REALLY died
dont think u wil stil be alive by then
Hit level cap, farm gear, and repeat the same shit when the next expansion comes out. A few weeks into Legion and I've already cancelled my sub.
What did you expect from an mmo? And the problem is with you if you only could play for a few weeks. You are playing for the ilvl, nothing else. Good riddance. no one will miss you
Like me xD
Yes wow turned into diablo 3 and I'm not playing it that much either but it's free.
hey played wow from vanilla to mid cata - at 6:40- did they changed the ingame grafphics? that dosnt look bad .. or its just the nw zones
Awesome review, thanks for the vid
7 /10. Not as good as I expected. I still don't like how you're displayed as an overpowered hero today, I'd rather go back to being an unknown peasant just trying to make a name for myself...
yeah that was like 10 years ago.. you think after defeating so many famous lore characters and helping out your faction you wouldn't be some unknown peasant it makes sense
A million times this.
I don't need some video game reality that tells me I'm some amazing individual because my RL is shit.
Short answer: No.
Long answer: Fuck no.
short answer Omfg amazing
long answer....time will tell
Kristopher Mcgregor It will be garbage just like every other xpac
+Joseph bc, wotlk was garbage?
Kristopher Mcgregor Because everything after tbc was garbage...although wotlk was the least garbage of the garbage...enjoy your garrison simulator 2016
Joseph actually i spend almost no time in the garrison, i have finished my class mission like a week ago so i don't really have to go there at all. Enjoy assuming everything.
you sir may be the person that gets me back to wow. could u make a class video ? like pro's and cons ?
Another great video!
Your recent WoW videos actually got me into WOW and to buy Legion. AS a new player, it's so fun. I do feel bad I missed on all the other content, but I got told by most veteran players that I should be fine playing Legion now, level till 110 and do most content there and then make another toon and play previous expansions that are more popular. So far, well worth the money!
