How is this any different than 90% of people roaming Dornogal now with their transmogs STILL set to artifact weapons. In fact, I don’t think I’ve seen a DH or Monk ever NOT using their artifact mog. Prot Wars another one I see all the time.
Must not have been that bad if tons of people in the game is still spending gold to make sure it still looks like legion weapons.
Nobody complained about the looks of the artifact weapons. They complained about the gameplay aspect behind it.
Besides, we can mog into most other weapons, like swords to fistys.
Tbf, the graphics and it’s fidelity didn’t evolve much, if at all the past 8 years, so i do agree with OP that there’s really no need to up the requirements here.
Bruh, you just pretty much said the key feature, the major selling point, the one that is omnipresent though the story, and important to the gameplay to the core of Legion, is optional.
Like, what?
Oh Wow, you did? Gosh, you must be the MILLIONTH AND ONE PERSON WHO DID THAT IN LEGION.
Next you’re gonna tell me you mained monks in Mists. Wow, you played the new class!!
…I don’t want to be that guy, but… you’ve done less then me in Legion, pal.
If this is a plant measuring contest, you’re coming with me with a clover while i just have a wrinky dinky dandilion.
I mean… Have you played DF?
Now not only just a select few had their shot at a RNG legendary, it was only a weapon.
I DEARLY miss the Legion legendary system.
The one from 7.0.3->7.2.5, with fixed BLP and no forced limits.
I also miss Titanforging, and it’d fit really well with the item upgrade system we have now.
I will never miss how you acquired your Legiondary. It was a horrible rng system that could screw over your main and have all your artifact knowledge and power grind time wasted. The highs of the legendary items themselves were great, but Blizzard also buffed and nerfed them almost as often as they tweaked talents.
All that so say, I mostly disagree. The legendary system was not well thought out. Give me the WoD ring or MoP cloak over the Legion legendary items. You have a set goal, and you get your item. You don’t have a chance a specific piece that could screw over tier for you.
Titanforging, under a different name, could come back. Skipping a level or two of upgrading wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world. I think that is a fair statement.
The highs were great, and I still stand by the notion that they were fine. People thinking they were absolutely needed for content, just like the AP grind, was the real issue.
Although I disagree with a few points OP, Legion is my second favorite expansion.
I would say the zones were ok, but nothing blew me away in any of them and made me want to stay like some of the more current ones. I LOVED the class halls though, the class mounts, the class quests, which is probably why the expansion is so favorable to me. Ever since the class trainers stopped training back in the day I was dying for some class flavor again, so Legion did that and more. I still go back and level random alts through it sometimes for some of my favorite class halls, and once and awhile even take a high level through it for the campaign titles. Fantastic expansion to me.
I have always maintained that Blizzard just doesn’t have anywhere to go but down since Legion. Everything in that expansion was just so EPIC.
I still transmog my staff into my Mage Tower reward for Aluneth. Best legendary weapon I have ever had in World of Warcraft hands down. I only wish it still gave me tidbits and history lessons as it did throughout Legion but it still talks to me at times.
I find it funny how they have attempted to “recreate” the feel of Suramar with the City of Threads. Except that Suramar was magical and beautiful and didn’t make me want to apply layer after layer of napalm to the place. They’ll never be able to recreate the experience of Suramar nor the Epic vibe of Legion.
