As per a request to have this post be more visible, I am making a post about my thoughts regarding Legion Remix (so far). If it gets taken down for the same-ness of the prior post, I will as I did before: Feedback even harder.
With that said.
Current status of Legion Remix Is Not Fun. Its Limited, its contained, its worse than retail. Its far worse than MoP Remix.
MoP Remix had a more limited scope of content compared to Legion Remix. YET people were happy to run the same content over and over because the concept of being overpowered gods was incredibly fun. It was also due to the grind of getting specific items that weren’t available for bronze. Being powerful made the grind easier.
Do you think people are going to enjoy having to do 4x the similar grind when they’re not at all powerful and are just going retail levels of slow?
And yes. I know that at the START of MoP Remix, you weren’t powerful. However you got powerful pretty quickly and that not only stayed consistent, but it GREW to insane levels by the time you reached max level.
This is NOT the case with Legion Remix. Where by leveling you still feel weaker than everything else, the power you’re given is not substantial enough, and that includes the gear. By 60-70, the ilvl jumping gets nutty, and you’re feeling it all the way through, and not in a good way. This goes doubly so for heroic mode which doesn’t even feel rewarding for what it is.
And I liked the idea of heroic mode! I enjoyed the challenge that things hit harder and I had to think about keeping myself alive, even as a tank. But around 70, your DPS just doesn’t keep up and it takes forever to kill for little to no benefit (currently). Affix mobs don’t really reward you for your efforts here either. Killing the big elite demon dude? Not much.
And the limiting/capping stats, and keeping your power Limited? In Remix? When MoP Remix was advertised, the biggest draw was the idea that you could be super powerful at insane levels and solo content.
Currently that’s not really feasible even for the idea of soloing a Mythic. At this rate you can get the Mythic experience at a worse than retail experience. Unless the removal of Versatility was on accident? Even then.
It really just feels both more like retail and WORSE than retail.
One of the coolest parts of MoP Remix was seeing how insane stats effected your abilities, and how that went for each class. The insane amount of ghosts that Shadow Priests would spawn was one of the highlights of MoP for me. I had thought I would be able to do the same with Legion Remix…
But that doesn’t really feel possible right now when everything feels so intentionally contained.
