It took a bit of getting used to with the starting quest line. I needed a few minutes to acclimate to the city in Legion’s timeframe rather than the one at the start of TWW. Once I had my footing and I grabbed all the quests that I could it took a moment to get the class hall unlocked. As a druid, I even accidentally took the wrong artifact weapon first not realizing I was still in balance specialization instead of Feral.
About 45 minutes in everything just clicked and before I knew it I was almost one shotting things left and right in just about every spec. I hit level 25 before. I finally called it in evening and that was about 2 1/2 hours of gameplay. I will admit at least 15 minutes of that was spent talking to the barber and looking at all of the mage tower druid skins. I’m really looking forward to tomorrow after work to see how much further I can get after having already bought six outfits and two mounts.
I have to wonder how many other people are having just as much fun. I’m sure anybody that did the MOP version probably had a small head start as far as knowledge was concerned and that’s OK. If you are playing, which class are you playing and what level did you get to before you finally shut down for the evening?
Really? Dungeons give like 200+ artifact power for each boss. Though, sadly, the artifact weapon is timegated. I unlocked the first major ability in the Twisted Crusade tree and I can’t select anything else despite having over 9k power.
Ope!~ Just discovered another bug. While I was alt+tabbed in the game to review names for things I selected the talent (ctrl+click) after Touch of Malice and it ATE NINE THOUSAND OF MY RESOURCE TO UNLOCK THE NEXT NODE THAT VISUALLY ONLY SAID IT COST ONE THOUSAND.
I figure I have three months. If I do it all in four days, I’m gonna be burned out and bored. So I think I’ll take about the next three weeks and do everything with the druid and if there’s still time left over, I may go back and make a shaman and try it the other way grinding dungeons. But I definitely want to take my time and enjoy it. I’ve been looking forward to it for a while now. This is my first one, but as long as the next one is super successful, this won’t be my last one.
yeah, first remix for me as well & I’m enjoying it. it’s fun to experience the world (I took a break in legion) and it out having to worry about gear grinds and ting keys.
although I am only playing lemix with my blood DK friend as a destro lock, so my experience doing open world might be different than other people. I also haven’t had any bug issues either. idk man, it’s fun and the amount of negativity and hate about the fun little mode is so tiring sometimes.
I usually just look past all of those comments. Some people are just not very happy in their everyday lives and it spills out into other areas of socialization. The only thing we can really control is how we feel and what our enjoyment looks like. We don’t have to root for the discontent of others, but we also don’t have to absorb it and allow it to affect us.
at the end of the day, we are playing the game we want to and having a good time in the process. Plus with all of the really great stuff that’s being included with this version of the game. It’s going to be exciting to bring that character into retail along with the mounts and appearances. I’ve collected so far and what I still have yet to collect.
so I wish you nothing but good fortune and big smiles on your adventures and even though we are on different servers, there is a virtual high-five headed your way.
as an avid cosmetic enjoyer, I actually love this entire experience lol. warlocks have some of the coolest transmog and mounts in the game and is also my main dps spec in retail.
also the insane power creep of remix will be silly & hilarious
My first impression?
Dragon pops up over my head when I got to do table missions.
“Oh yeah we are masters of time and stuff, lets skip ahead.”
Later in Highmountain.
Dragons lean in close, I can hear the faint sounds of lizard snickering.
“Come on Miss Ethel Waterwise lets go.”
I peer into the heavens and wait, I don’t feel the forwarding of time. But I can hear more clear laughter.
Then I hear “Look look, he’s looking around waiting for us to help, get ****** softskin”.
Mrs Ethel tells me of her beautiful daughter and grandson.
I regret helping these dragons.
When I got trapped in my moonkin form the first time because I picked the wrong weapon to go for first as I was adding power to it I eventually got to the point where star surge would one shot something when I would switch targets.
I’m glad you’re having fun, OP. I’ve kind of had the opposite experience. I played Lemix for about 4 hours, and this iteration of the Remix model feels kinda … soulless to me? I’m not sure why, but MoP Remix quickly became fast-paced and fun, blowing through quests left and right and gaining multiple levels per hour. Meanwhile I’m currently Level 24 on a Frost Death Knight and the whole experience feels … slow? I’m about a quarter of the way through Stormsong, I did the Na’aru Prime questline and a bunch of the DK Order Hall Questline. I’ve gotten maybe 60,000 bronze? Tried Nightmare Mode, was even slower with poor rewards. So far I haven’t been impressed by Legion Remix, this feels worse in every conceivable way to someone who played the MOP version.
I’m a little bummed out that my remix priest can’t transmog my wooden swords like this toon has. They came from war within children’s week, so maybe they’re restricted to level 70+ characters.
I can’t fully enjoy the gameplay until my character is in her full murloc onesie dual wielding toy swords.
apparently, in this version, the bronze obtained moves a lot faster when grinding dungeons versus the open world. This seems to be deliberate as most retail gamers spend a lot of time grinding in dungeons to level. They probably assumed similar groups would do something of that nature and this would give them the opportunity to earn more bronze. Personally, I only need to play about three hours a week for the 14 weeks in order to achieve enough bronze to purchase everything. And I think three hours is a pretty fair number considering how tight my real world schedule is.
