The launch for Legion went amazing. As soon as the clock hit 11pm (I'm in the UK, we got it early) the quest popped up, we went to Dalaran and started everything, no relog, no queues, no bugs. I'm taking my time with leveling and just enjoying the questing, doing my professions and Order Hall stuff along the way, but I'll certainly take heed with this when I'm leveling my alts if I dont want to go through the same 4 zones again for around 7 times more (although, to get as much artifact power as possible, you have to do all the zones anyway at some point).
Alijamaru I thought "There was no content put into the game for over a year, I'm going to enjoy this as much I can". That's the mentality I've taken into Legion, and it's going well for me.
That's how some people like to play. Problem comes when they complain about little content later, which any sane person should realize comes from the fact that they did a 5 day marathon or some shit like that.
Well, he was in alpha and beta, he knows all the content, done it probably 2-3 times already so.. yea. It's the same thing every new expansion. Someone leveled 1, 2 or more times in beta, now he races for realm first achi or just level up as fast as he can so he can do new stuff.
When WoD came out, I rushed through everything as fast as I could because I wanted to be the first in our guild to get to 100. I wound up getting disconnected for a while and that made me hit 100 literally 2 minutes behind this other guy in the guild. >.< I was so pissed because I had taken the first 2 days of launch off work for it, lol. Some people just like to challenge themselves like that and see if they can get it done the fastest in their group of friends, guild, server, or even be first in the world (like Heelvsbabyface getting words first lvl 800 fishing, lmao). Then they can actually slow down and read through everything on the next character they go through. Also, for people like Asmongold and Bellular and all of those who produce guides for us, the faster they get to 100 the more they can show us in videos, which generates more revenue for them. So it could be financially advantageous in their cases.
+Strmshadow73 and he told us how he leveled. The word 'how' doesn't have to mean it's a how to instructional guide. It can simply be a recounting of what happened. You don't need a guide anyway. Just go out and do quests however you want to do them. Be your own leader.
I'm very pleased with the launch as well. There was no queue, there weren't hundreds of people trying to kill a single mob, and there were hardly any gankfests. It's definitely a step in the right direction, and I hope Blizzard can keep it up with future expansions.
It's not just impressive, it's downright godly with how many people cheesed levelling that the servers didn't outright combust. I agree it's the step in the right direction, I guess we'll see if they can keep this up.
+kanival42 This is factually incorrect. They said prior to launch in the quarterly earnings call that purchases were tracking in line with previous expacs. You can't lie in a shareholders earnings call...unless you like lawsuits.
sad face.... This is back when zack was charming and fun to listen to and watch. Now he is so arrogant, toxic and privileged. It sucks watching the old stuff, he was so likeable back then
Man it feels so good to play taking my time. I've done that marathon shit back in the day in WTLK, I'm done playing that way, the expansion isn't going anywhere, and I won't be playing competitively anytime soon.
I know they got rid of realm first feats of strength, but is there any way to find out who got the level 110 achievement on your realm first? Like some WoW achievement tracking website or something? I'm 99% sure I was realm first in my class to 110 but it's hard to tell other than doing /who while everyone was leveling in that first 12 hour period.
What are you going to raid as? As FR arms is 40% ahead of fury and FoB arms. I cant bring my self to play the FR Arms and ive always gone Arms so its a shitty choice atm. Also 4k que since launch lol haven't played even for 1 second yet.
My story quest for the night elves is broken, the it says that the tree has a quest for me but show in game on my screen but on the map it's saying he does but I can't take the quest from him.
Hi, I'm a casual WoW player - all I do is mostly bgs (pvp) & rdf (pve), but more pvp than pve. Looking into Legion pvp auto-scale feature I was determined to level some alts so I could have some fun on all of them without me having to spend hundreds of hours for gearing up so much. Now I heard that the artifacts are a pain in the ass to have/upgrade and I really wanted to pvp on my paladin both as protection AND holy. Is there any solution? Will the artifact upgrades affect so much the pvp gameplay or will I be fine with a side non-artifact weapon/shield for my off-spec? Thanks
I took a couple of days to get to 110, I guess playing the beta meant that you knew where to go and what to do and having a group would make everything go a lot more smooth. I remember at a certain point i was in que for 4 hours for dungeon and then hearing that some tank would insta que, was pretty harsh. It went a lot faster when I didn't use the random que. This was for sure the best ever release from blizzard.
Can you make a video or at least show your order hall advancement choices? I'm not sure what to pick and I don't want to choose badly and have to wait an entire week to redo
i was saying that to my cousin too the smoothes launch ever, i think the fact that zone scale and spreading people trough that and all the artifact zone helped alot
I would honestly just do the quests only unless you want to power level to get to end-game really fast. If that's the case, do dungeons as much as possible.
I would say do all the questlines in each area, and breaking it up by doing a dungeon or two. If you are dps, the queue times are abysmally long(an hour or so), so you could just queue up and do quests while you wait.
Asmongolds weed joke! i love it. I was that guy you roasted on stream a bit ago about spending 200k on the moose lol. congrats on 110 and all that dude!
Hey man nice video. I did notice that the servers were great too and I was surprised. No DDoS either so that was another pleasant surprise. Took me 4 days and about 16 hours of questing to hit 110.
The reason it is the smoothest launch is really due to the amount of people, way less people are playing in legion than in WoD. Definitely plays a factor
love your sense of humour bro! im enjoying the game and switching classes from time to time just to see the artifacts, there will be so much time to progress thru, stil, i can understand that people that want to play mythic in future must get to a nice ilvl pretty fast.
that's crazy , I'm just enjoying the expansion tbh being 105 and just half way through aszuna after finishing Val'sharar (not sure if spelled wrong) which was awesome and the lore I really think blizzard has made a good job with this launch so far out
WoW Asmongold!!! That is just amazing For me it was 26 hours awake time (17 hours of leveling) and 9 hours of work in-between And blizzard really did a great job, extraordinary expansion and servers ^ _ ^
Been playing since BC and this is the smoothest launch i've seen, however they have the same old problems as any other xpac and that is server queues. The server i play on has queues over 3k every night with a 1hour+ log in time...
+Adian Mangabang silvermoon and draenor are the biggest 2. there are 3 other big ones on eu but cant compare. dnw about US but on EU there were queues at peak times for the big 5.
Ryukasan1 Problem is if you don't play on a "Full" server it's like playing in a desert. You almost never see another player.. Blizz really needs to shut down some of the dead servers and expand the popular ones.
judging from my friends list, half the people I've met through the years in game didn't even bother with legion, hence the smooth (there were still few problems) launch, server wise..
Grats... First time ever, I didn't look at beta stuff, didn't look for shortcuts, picked up a fresh class and taking it slowly, reading quests, following the story, doing stuff propper and having the best time in wow in like ever
Just about to hit 110 and took my time, really enjoyed the content so far (never used beta) and I've been working all the way through release and playing at night time :D
Easy? Right... I've been questing on my mage since 8this morning and only got to lvl 103 (ddos attack occurred an hour ago). You are either a former player who has no clue as to what's in game now or you are one of those players who like to steam roll content. Your comment (or insult?) is very laughable.
it will take me at least a week to hit 110, i have to read every quest and find get every treasure and kill every mob and explore every zone before i can move to the next one, ocd
Yeah that happend to me as well i only slept 3 hours and when i woke up i wasnt tierd at all . LEGION IS AWESOME!! i had a great time lvling hope all of you do :)
I hit 110 the same day of Launch too. I enjoyed the content so much while leveling it was great. now I'm ilvl 830 already. gotta go big dick at get 840+
Hi My Boy Asmongold. Could you do a video on leveling on a fury warrior? Like rotations and aoe/single target bursts, talents, trinkets. And maybe some endgame talents. :) It would be awesome.
Title for this one should maybe be "gee I'm good, listen to me talk myself up, plus use tough gangster words even tho im skinny and white, and check out my attitude cuz I'm ballin"
The launch for Legion went amazing. As soon as the clock hit 11pm (I'm in the UK, we got it early) the quest popped up, we went to Dalaran and started everything, no relog, no queues, no bugs.

I feel the exact same way. The only flaw were stupid DDOS attacks but that wasn't blizz's fault.
That's how it should be played my man, enjoy the content.
Alijamaru I thought "There was no content put into the game for over a year, I'm going to enjoy this as much I can". That's the mentality I've taken into Legion, and it's going well for me.
I dont understand plowing through new content this fast. I am taking my time and enjoying some new stuff for the first time in 14 months.
They had been playing the beta a lot so it's nothing new for them. They wanted to go full big dick tryhard mode on launch.
That's how some people like to play. Problem comes when they complain about little content later, which any sane person should realize comes from the fact that they did a 5 day marathon or some shit like that.
I totally agree with you.
Well, he was in alpha and beta, he knows all the content, done it probably 2-3 times already so.. yea. It's the same thing every new expansion. Someone leveled 1, 2 or more times in beta, now he races for realm first achi or just level up as fast as he can so he can do new stuff.

So it could be financially advantageous in their cases.
I love how this video has barely anything of value in it and is more like a: I am still alive after the legion launch guys lol.
It has value. He told his story.
It's not a how-to, but not everything has to be.
The title of the damn video is "How I leveled".
+Strmshadow73 and he told us how he leveled.
The word 'how' doesn't have to mean it's a how to instructional guide. It can simply be a recounting of what happened.
You don't need a guide anyway. Just go out and do quests however you want to do them. Be your own leader.
wtf? he literally explained the best strat for leveling and what you need to do at 110... how is this video NOT valuable or helpful?
I'm very pleased with the launch as well. There was no queue, there weren't hundreds of people trying to kill a single mob, and there were hardly any gankfests. It's definitely a step in the right direction, and I hope Blizzard can keep it up with future expansions.
It's not just impressive, it's downright godly with how many people cheesed levelling that the servers didn't outright combust. I agree it's the step in the right direction, I guess we'll see if they can keep this up.
now the hunter MM starting quest, that was a gankfest... god good was it...
+eyesfire Guardian Drood for me. It was a bear fuck fest in that cave.
No que because the sub count barely rose
+kanival42 This is factually incorrect. They said prior to launch in the quarterly earnings call that purchases were tracking in line with previous expacs. You can't lie in a shareholders earnings call...unless you like lawsuits.

I woke up early and Asmongold was already lvl 110 haha. You Da Real MVP
its not hard lol
It's not that leveling is hard. He just made sure to go Big D!@%
I know they got rid of realm first feats of strength, but is there any way to find out who got the level 110 achievement on your realm first? Like some WoW achievement tracking website or something? I'm 99% sure I was realm first in my class to 110 but it's hard to tell other than doing /who while everyone was leveling in that first 12 hour period.
I'm taking it slow, still only 102 in my first zone.
What can I say? Lore's my thing.
Same
I'm still mindblown by ebonhorn high mountain.
+Jimmy yIK in high mountain*
same aszuna was amazing
I took it slow and 100% achievement each zone and I'm already 110... You suck.
Thank you for the tip on Aszuna. Will make sure to do everything. Congrats and have fun.
grats mate, also do you have carpet in the roof? (on the left>)
What are you going to raid as? As FR arms is 40% ahead of fury and FoB arms. I cant bring my self to play the FR Arms and ive always gone Arms so its a shitty choice atm. Also 4k que since launch lol haven't played even for 1 second yet.
How do you get glide and do you have a recent fury warrior specs and rotation video?
Cheers
What addon do you use to show the enhanced attributes and enhancements in your character menu?
My story quest for the night elves is broken, the it says that the tree has a quest for me but show in game on my screen but on the map it's saying he does but I can't take the quest from him.

How do you get your XP bars like that? I'm using bartender and my scaling is really off for some reason.
Soo.. I'm stuck in Storheim cause i can't find the starting quest of the Shieldmaiden questline, anyone know where it is?
Can you make a video or at least show your order hall advancement choices? I'm not sure what to pick and I don't want to choose badly and have to wait an entire week to redo
i was saying that to my cousin too the smoothes launch ever, i think the fact that zone scale and spreading people trough that and all the artifact zone helped alot
when leveling in legion how often should I be doing dungeons? or should I not do dungeons at all and just quest?
I would honestly just do the quests only unless you want to power level to get to end-game really fast. If that's the case, do dungeons as much as possible.
incorrect. Dungeons don't give nearly as much xp as they once did. It's actually much quicker to do quests.
I would say do all the questlines in each area, and breaking it up by doing a dungeon or two. If you are dps, the queue times are abysmally long(an hour or so), so you could just queue up and do quests while you wait.
The best thing is just do the quests and do the dungeons if/when you get a quest for them.
What are those gliders and where can I get them? They look pretty useful
Can anybody tell me the addon which shows you treasures and rares on the map? Ty in advance :)
Can you make a guide on how to unlock the warrior hidden artifact appearances?
Asmongolds weed joke! i love it. I was that guy you roasted on stream a bit ago about spending 200k on the moose lol. congrats on 110 and all that dude!
The first thing I thought when playing Legion was how smoothly it launched. Loved the zones too
How did you get those 2 bars so high? What addon is that?
what is the addon name for this xp bar and stuff???
Hey man nice video. I did notice that the servers were great too and I was surprised. No DDoS either so that was another pleasant surprise. Took me 4 days and about 16 hours of questing to hit 110.
what addon do u use for ur action bars?
Didn't realize we were on the same server! congrats on 110
Ya its tempting, but I gotta do all the quests in each zone first. Grats on 110.
The reason it is the smoothest launch is really due to the amount of people, way less people are playing in legion than in WoD. Definitely plays a factor
Is Prot as good as it was in the pre-patch? Im kind of doubting how big of a deal Ignore Pain is.
what class/spec are you going to main in legion?
love your sense of humour bro! im enjoying the game and switching classes from time to time just to see the artifacts, there will be so much time to progress thru, stil, i can understand that people that want to play mythic in future must get to a nice ilvl pretty fast.
Did you get your Grand marshall back in the day?
that's crazy , I'm just enjoying the expansion tbh being 105 and just half way through aszuna after finishing Val'sharar (not sure if spelled wrong) which was awesome and the lore
I really think blizzard has made a good job with this launch so far out
WoW Asmongold!!! That is just amazing
For me it was 26 hours awake time (17 hours of leveling) and 9 hours of work in-between
And blizzard really did a great job, extraordinary expansion and servers ^ _ ^
So...you've basically went through all content in one day. Nice work.
Agree dude, best launch ever, wasnt able to sleep Monday before release so I hit 110 Tuesday night, 2 hours per level xD
Been playing since BC and this is the smoothest launch i've seen, however they have the same old problems as any other xpac and that is server queues. The server i play on has queues over 3k every night with a 1hour+ log in time...
I play on a "Full" server, have not sat in queue once.
+Adian Mangabang silvermoon and draenor are the biggest 2. there are 3 other big ones on eu but cant compare. dnw about US but on EU there were queues at peak times for the big 5.
RIP
That's a harsh reality you have to accept when you have your main on a "full" server.
Ryukasan1 Problem is if you don't play on a "Full" server it's like playing in a desert. You almost never see another player.. Blizz really needs to shut down some of the dead servers and expand the popular ones.
what addons does he have for his map?
judging from my friends list, half the people I've met through the years in game didn't even bother with legion, hence the smooth (there were still few problems) launch, server wise..
I quested solo and did pretty much everything but the dungeon quests and ran out of stuff to do right into 109
Legion is making me so happy
Good job on the vid and Gz on sever first grp
What's the addon that previews gear automatically for him??
mogit
I gotchu homie
Grats... First time ever, I didn't look at beta stuff, didn't look for shortcuts, picked up a fresh class and taking it slowly, reading quests, following the story, doing stuff propper and having the best time in wow in like ever
First 110 in my guild, made my personal goal. 20 hours of straight game play (only took 15 hours to get the 110 though)
Servers were amazing. I am shocked at relatively no problems.
Just about to hit 110 and took my time, really enjoyed the content so far (never used beta) and I've been working all the way through release and playing at night time :D
I pulled that same 24 hour awake shit when WOTLK came out, i remember fighting for quest as there were hundreds of other people leveling.
Should you save rares until lvl 110 for gear?
No it's not worth it. At 110, I'm already getting 800-810 gear, whilst the Rates can give 795 gear at 110.
My favorite part of this is "I'm talking about weeed man" fucking love you dude lol
8 hours to gain 10 levels, nice. Glad to see how easy this game has remained
did you even watch the video? they went through as fast as they could. Takes longer if you actually go through it and enjoy it
It used to take months to level.
+J Smith no one has the patience or time to takes months just to level
Easy? Right...
I've been questing on my mage since 8this morning and only got to lvl 103 (ddos attack occurred an hour ago).
You are either a former player who has no clue as to what's in game now or you are one of those players who like to steam roll content.
Your comment (or insult?) is very laughable.
+J Smith in a game that starts on max level who the f cares. the game is a LOT harder pve wise now.
Pretty amazing launch as far as the servers go. And the new zones are incredible. Done Val'Sharah and Highmountain so far. So good.
Only 103 on my orc warrior , taking it slow , doing all the quests and enjoying the content:D
why your exp bar and artifact bar are so big?
I totally agree with the smooth release. I've hardly lagged at all
"My eyes hurt, my hands hurt, my les hurt, I had an headache, I felt sick - it was fucing great." - for the win !!!
8hours ? :D : D on my realm called Drakthu'l our boys hit 110 lvl for 5 hours
They probably did the WoD bonus obj leveling strat, it's OP af
i hit 110 in exactly 24 hours and this is maybe the best xpac
best launch ever, great questing experience, good dungeons and non-instanced content for now.
Blizzard really did well this time round. I haven't lost myself in a game in such a long time.
There aren´t so many people now as it were before on other launches. Thats why it was better launch now on Legion!
Legion looks very good thus far. I'm loving everything thus far.
sounds like u had an awesome experience leveling up,i wish i had someone to level up and do dungeons and achievs with:( wtb friends
Hey I could level whit u and talk to u just add me in tag Random#1254 Btw ignore my youtube name lol
just hit 106, with the time ive had half of it ive spent getting the treasure which doesnt give xp :/ lots of work resourses tho and AP
That intro monologue. The Asmongold I know and love. No-lifing to the point of pain.
i cant wait to be able to afford the xpac to play and keep the vids coming, love you man
I did the exact same thing stayed up playing wow for over 24 hours went to 100-110 in one sitting. I thought I was going to die
Hey, good work, man! Can really hear how passionate you are about this.
Also, what's with all these mad people in the comment section lmfao
Wait arent mythic are avilable one week after realese?
release*
+SandMan mythic plus I think comes out the same time as emerald nightmare. So 3 weeks.
Do you play on US or EU servers?
For pve, is arms better or fury?
Fury
arms is simming higher but fury is probably better
Arms is simming much higher single target. with good gear it does really good dmg and is more fun imo.
didnt you say if launch went smoooth that you would buy a store mount?
I've been watching your videos for a while and this one, this is the one that made me subscribe. Good shit ma boi asmongold
I played non-stop since launch at 4am(argentina) til 9pm when i hit 110. It was a great fucking day.
One year and 364 more days till the next expansion!!
Damn i miss legion
it will take me at least a week to hit 110, i have to read every quest and find get every treasure and kill every mob and explore every zone before i can move to the next one, ocd
New tag line " I sleep like a bear then I wake up and maul the fucking dps meters"
I had random dc's on launch day as did many others on Korgath. Maybe only certain servers were ok.
Hey Asmon you should get some Gunners bro. I was skeptical but they are great. Reduces eye strain a whole lot.
Yeah that happend to me as well i only slept 3 hours and when i woke up i wasnt tierd at all . LEGION IS AWESOME!! i had a great time lvling hope all of you do :)
I hit 110 the same day of Launch too. I enjoyed the content so much while leveling it was great. now I'm ilvl 830 already. gotta go big dick at get 840+
"I sleep like a bear; I get up and I maul the fuckin dps meters." - Asmongold
Why am I watching this in 2020? Guess I just miss Legion.
Hi My Boy Asmongold.
Could you do a video on leveling on a fury warrior? Like rotations and aoe/single target bursts, talents, trinkets. And maybe some endgame talents. :) It would be awesome.
Title for this one should maybe be "gee I'm good, listen to me talk myself up, plus use tough gangster words even tho im skinny and white, and check out my attitude cuz I'm ballin"
Need that handy note add-on for legion. Lmao I'm barely level 103 and have 10 other Alts to max level.
How did you get to 810 ilvl fast?
i hit 110 last night and slept
woke up today did suramar ...now im doing a second toon : P
You are ever too bold to get the vitenam flashbacks we love u asmon
Legit man, you're awesome. Thanks for all the work you do!
Glad your group got server first for 110.
MAUL THE DPS METERS. fkin great
Grats bro!
