Was Legion that much better?

I played Legion around thanksgiving because a friend really want me to join with her.

Best friend ever. I loved Legion, I enjoyed almost everything about it.

When BFA and SL came out, I…hated it lol. The grind in BFA was pretty bad, but SL took the crown.

the only issues i found in legion was raiders upset everyone else pretty much loved it.

Legion provided the Class fantasy that WoW had never delivered before with the Class Hall Quests. It’s true that not all were great (looking at you Hunter) but most were and some (Rogues) were brilliant.

The only real stumble I encountered was at the beginning when Warlocks started with no shards. That was truly painful, especially given that you generally had very low Haste. However, once they fixed that, going through Legion with Thal’keil’s commentary was one of the best parts of the expansion!

After playing wrath … yeah it was awful. Only thing decent is ICC. Yeah…… I’m actually excited for cata. :cloud_with_rain:

The classes were awful. Never felt less interesting class design in any expansion. The terrain was bad as well. Just running around on the ground in those zones for so long was a bummer.

I liked Khadgar and Illidan though. Suramar was a super experience too.

It definitely had its ups and downs imo. But I’d rank it above every expansion that released after it.

Legion was the last expansion I played all the way through prior to Dragonflight. I had a ton of fun with it.
Yes, the order hall stories varied wildly in quality. Yes, the artifact grind was tedious. Yes, the RNG for legendaries was soul-crushing. And yes, Vol’jin deserved SO much better.
But the tone and atmosphere? The art? The music? The flavorful raid mechanics? The sheer epicness of fighting the second-most iconic baddies in lore? Illidan screeching the most hilariously edgy lines ever written and vaporizing that stupid windchime? That was peak, imo. Loved it at the time, and still love it today.
It’s a shame they ditched the most well-received parts of Legion (like class identity) in favor of making its weaker aspects permanent parts of the game.

The zones were gorgeous with beautiful, ambient music. They were able to make it so you leveled your artifact weapons at a natural pace. There were times when I didn’t miss flying. Once flying was enabled you got a true sense of how gorgeous the zones were and because of World Quests you could still experience those gorgeous zones and beautiful, ambient music.

First there’s complaints in ever version of the game – even vanilla had complaints and there’s not be a single expansion that someone somewhere has harsh words of hate for. Its human nature. You’ll ALWAYS have your haters to any and everything.

That won’t ever change until the human species goes extinct.

But speaking for myself I really enjoyed Legion a great deal.

The class specific content and the artifact weapons was very cool to me. In fact legion is the last expansion I think I played the most hours in and ACTUALLY because I wanted to not just because I was bored.

But hey too each their own… You hate legion…Hate Legion – doesn’t impact me or change my view.

I play mainly for the story and the ones they had in Legion outshine what is in Dragonflight. I don’t play this expansion much mainly because of Dragonriding and the fact it makes me sick. Legion didn’t do that to me. I had fun doing the class halls.

Legion gave us Highmountain Tauren.

It also gave us an over-abundance of Blazer cosplayers.

You take some good, you take some bad.

bro, bro… once again, and for anyone who wants to do the same thread again, go in the future, see the next expansions, and see how bad (BfA), worse (Shadowlands), and boring (DF) they are in lore and gameplay depending on which expansion you see they are now.

So I always have to say, how good it was that I got Legion.

Legion was really fun for max lvl BGs because there were templates.

Don’t compare this to Legion please… Legion was one of the best expansions ever regardless of the side effects of the legendary system at the start of the Xpac.

Legion was fun if you were unemployed.

it was goood near the end but thats to say it was pretty bad leading up tot he end.
like legendaries for example. get teh wrong one? reroll your character. everyone is soft locked at 2 drops so if you got sephuz ( before the buff ) or prydaz ( before the buff ) tough.
emrald nightmare was butt.
nighthold was cool.
Tomb was awesome.
antourus was agonizing but awesome.
m+ was really fun.
artifacts where fun after the changes. before that it was agonizing.

I’m a GD influencer , its what I do. :smirk:

Oh yeah, I remember this… there was a lot of “the developers made this terrain to spite us and dont respect our time!”. :grin:

Rofl well it was just annoying to me. I’d get stuck running against a wall to find a ramp somewhere to get up. :joy::joy:

Demon Hunter at least made it easier to get down places.
