    One of the better expansions for World of Warcraft, has a fairly strong story for once. The whole MMO could have ended on a good note here.

    The Best WOW expansion and the time to play. Main Storyline of all Warcraft.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pros
    - This was a return to the peak of Class Identity, with your own order hall, class campaign and even a mount!
    - Unlike popular opinion, I actually felt that artefact weapons were one of the best systems in modern WoW
    - Successfully ended / put on hold the majority of interesting story arcs, Illidan Sargeras, Kil'Jaeden, Varian, Gul'Dan, Xavius, Argus, The Legion. Velen, Tirion, Malfurion, Tyrande, Magni, The Titans.
    - The mage tower is one of the best content additions in WoW ever and I am baffled as to why there isn't more challenging solo content.
    - Each raid was Atleast A tier. Nighthold and Antorus were S tier.
    - The Transmog in Legion is still better than most of the Transmog in BFA, SL and DF.
    - Each dungeon was high quality. With the possible exception of Seat of the Triumvirate due to the sheer amount of trash mobs.
    - The cinematics were top quality.

    Cons
    - The Demon Hunter Class was unfortunately spawned from this expansion. Adhering to edgelord players and being low skill ceiling high skill floor balanced.
    - As with every expansion in WoW, the tuning was awful and ill-thought. Argus was too easy for an end boss, Kil'jaeden and Fallen Avatar were too hard. No spec felt closely tuned to one another.
    - A lot of add-on and weak-aura utilisation was formed from this expansion, Add-ons are what ruins WoW.
    - Legendary Acquisition felt awful, random drops doing any content and being time-gated is the last thing a player needs when they receive a legendary which is bad, as this meant their next could be weeks/months away.    … Expand

    Well, to be fair, it's not comparable with Vanilla, TBC or WOTLK. But still it rocks, it brought back the vibe with something new and kept some of the old stuff. Still overrates MoP, BFA, Draenor, SDL.

There is a tremendous drop in the musical quality of WoW coming off of the prior expansions. For the first time, I found most of the OST to be a dud.

    For me, World of Warcraft: Legion is proof that modern WoW can be good if they listen to player feedback and give their development team enough time.

    I did not resubscribe until 7.1.5, but when I did, I would play daily for several hours until the expansion was over. I experienced every bit of content available and never grew tired of it. Artifact Weapons were a great idea reminiscent of the fondly remembered old talent trees, and Mythic Plus breathed new life into the game that—perhaps for the first time since Wrath's Heroic Dungeons—managed to make dungeons a relevant bit of end-game content.

    However, as we all know now, Legion was not the turning point for World of Warcraft that many of us had hoped for, as the expansions that followed it were both quite mediocre.    … Expand

    The Burning Legion coming back on Azeroth, just this is a catchy thing for me. Fighting demons with the legendary artifacts from WoW's greatest champion had no price for me. Really liked also the M+ system. Raids were cool, from EN to last one Antorus. Really a great expac. Only thing, maybe a bit too much farm for the artifact power.

After blizzard claim they want PvP to be balanced in every possible way, they actually managed to do the complete opposite. Some classes are 10x better in terms of mobility, damage and survival than others are. For example a demon hunter or a rogue can survive for literally 10x longer with their cooldowns than a warrior can. Warriors will just flop to the ground and die immediately in a 1v1 situation with almost any other dps class. Not to mention how bad the PvP gearing system is, you have to do PvE in order to increase your damage and viability for PvP. The new artifact system also makes it a very rigorous grind when wanting to make a new max level character and have that character actually become useful in a PvP scenario.

    The Broken Isles themselves were phenomenal, filled with story and gorgeously realized. Suramar in particular is another remarkable achievement. The entire zone is packed with story and things to do, that all tie together into an amazing journey once you hit max level. It has already become a talking point for Blizzard, like the phenomenal story progression in Escalation, patch 5.1 - and just like 5.1, Blizz has repeatedly revealed that they have no idea what made Suramar so successful.

    And then 7.3 was the biggest patch ever, packed to bursting with unbelievably cool story moments.

It was nice seeing old characters return and some had to make heroic sacrifices. It really got my emotions going because the characters were developed so well. The later patches and additions were fantastic, and the expansion winded down smoothly. The next expansion is arriving in a couple of months but I'm still enjoying every moment of this one. Kudos to the Blizzard team for stellar work. The game's art, story, voice acting, and so much more are excellent. Looking forward to the things the team has in store for us gamers.

    The expansion that got me playing a lot like I used to Until WOTLK. It eventually dies down because the raids were lacking and bland. The last raid tier is really fun however. The Final boss has some nice RP elements. Artifact weapons are great and DH class is fun.

    The Game itself is quite enjoyable for a playtime of a month but lacks in many aspects like crafting,pvp and lacking individuality of your characters.

    This game took me by surprise. The most popular MMORPG in history with millions upon millions of players was supposed to be entertaining and shocking. This was not the case. The game is an eternal grind for useless gear and levels.

The most popular MMORPG in history with millions upon millions of players was supposed to be entertaining and shocking. This was not the case.

    Let me explain.

    As you level up you begin to receive less and less loot. This should be normal in any MMO. However, the PVP system is built around having all players equalized with the new "Military Priorities" perk that levels out all players on the battlefield. Yes, most could consider this only fair to keep veterans honest and help new players excel or at least try to.

    My deduction is that if you want to play a leveled out game with max characters, head to any moba. SMITE, league of legends, even heroes of the storm is like picking out a max level world of warcraft character and duking it out on an even playing field.

    World of warcraft is supposed to reward you for your grind and hard work, but all you end up getting is an even playing field where one team may or may not have healers, or decent dps. The endgame is basically luck and hoping your team has some semblence of cooperation.

    The game has lost its touch and I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes free to play by 2020 because the hype and money income from Hearthstone, Overwatch, and heroes of the storm will die down. I'm sure World of Warcraft has a negative net income.

    I give WoW a 3/10. The graphics are nice, it has unique classes, and sometimes it can be quite a joy to play. But after playing around 15 hours you will start to think: "what am I doing playing this game"? as you queue up for another useless round of PvP.    … Expand

The game itself is too much based around Raiding. Best gear, Sets etc. only in raids and only there. Nothing comparable to these in any other place in the game.

    PvP... is in the WORST state ever since 12 years. It has the LOWEST participation in pvp since ever. It is plain HORRIBLE. WoD had bad PvP, and most players thought it can not be worse in next expansion, guess what.. Legion came out and it IS even worse than WoD! Blizzarc cleary shows that they do not care in the slightest about PvP and their players. They want it ti die, it seems.

    The Story could be ok, when it wouldn't be dragged out like CRAZY. I mean you play like 2 different expansions to run after one Boss and finally kill him. Then out of a sudden whole Planets appear etc. It sometimes doesn't fit the whole WoW style and just doesn't make sense at all.

    WoW Legion at the end is like Diablo, more so than Diablo itself should be. And thats thanks to developers and designers which came over to WoW team from the Diablo team, after the fiasco that Diablo 3 was. Now they destroy WoW... it is really a shame when you think about how good Vanilla, TBC, WOTLK was. Maybe even MoP too.

Once they tried to remove rng from this now it is just full of it every item etc.
    Zones are clearly designed for flying mounts and same **** as draenor "Before you can fly Mr Bond you need to you must get certain achievements". Achievements in this case forced content.

Decent gear now is just rng gods are with me or they aren't you notice this in example leveling.
    How to get penis jousting with other guys you basically grind your fat ass off either its right legendaries or to upgrade your legendary weapon. So repeat same instances, garrison quests or weekly stuff,
    Professions have become biggest joke why the hell would you waste stuff using level 1 recipes. Some professions you get these retarded reward quests you get 5 skill points when you go cliff take of your trousers take your weenie out have right items purchased and piss all over poor lad. You should always upgrade recipes to rank 3 because it's economical same could be said about gathering. So waste of time doing items when they might with be upgrade.
    Questing and story same old boring stuff that most players are fed up. Either it's kill stuff or collect stuff. Each prof is also tied to some dungeon and zone too need to basically do whole zone to open. Dungeon profession quests was stupid idea at burning crusade and still is.
    So game offers you grinding, nothing new, copied ideas from free to play games such as GW2, toxic community and joy of getting yourself dungeons or raids with utterly retarded or otherwise speshial people. Oh joy! Luckily there are plenty of better things do like having a life. Best way to enjoy this game is never getting one or uninstalling it.

I've played the game up until march 2017 since, well, release I suppose. Story wise expansion is great. That's good news. Bad news: good news end here.

    Legion has introduced new levels of RNG walls, class simplification and content recycling. Prepare to experience the wonders of grinding for AP and legendaries, doing repetitive World Quests, and visiting same dungeons over and over again, but this time forced to go there, as best AP and out-of-raids gear can only be obtained there.

    To sweeten the pot - chance to get what you actually want in those mythic+ dungeons is extremely low (instead of individual loot pools from each boss you only get 1-2 items from doing the whole thing, so chances to get particular item drop through the ground, not even to mention that most of the time you need that item to "roll high" - get a sufficient titanforged bonus for it to actually be good for you, which adds another layer of rng on top of already awful rng wall.

    Grinding for legendaries is another plague that was added with Legion. If you harbor hopes of doing any high-end content - prepare to grind day and night, unless you are one of those lucky persons who win big in casinos in first hour: getting throughput legendaries that are not junk will require you to sell your very soul to RNG gods. Out of pool of ~8 possible legendaries (for the time when I quit) normally only 2-3 are really good, rest varying from semi-decent to "burn and scatter that trash right now", really depending on class. This also not only impacts directly your chances to be taken into a good progression group (also directly linking your luck to how well you can perform - without right legendaries you will never get close to other players who have them, and so you will be quite likely turned down by many progress raiding teams). Not to mention that you should probably give up any hopes of playing your alts - if going through legendary and AP grinding hell on main wasn't enough, you can always opt to repeat it on your alt and sink another sizable chunk of your life into this frustration fueled experience.

    This expansion is totally not alt friendly for said reasons: grinding AP, grinding legendaries, and the fact that thanks to lack of weekly lockout on mythic+ time you spend on your alt is time you could spend improving your main (and potentially getting that one sweet, sweet legendary). If you are in a progression/mythic oriented guild - you will always be reminded that you should be grinding on your raiding character instead of having fun with alts.

    Definition of "Legendary" items has reached new bottom: not it's not just rather ordinary to receive a "Legendary!" item, now it also can be disappointing and frustrating!

    Players that stay for longer periods of time are the ones that are getting hurt by new Blizzard course the most. Currently game is strongly oriented towards "seasonal" players: players who come for a few weeks every time new content is released, only to abandon game until next content influx. If you are kind of player who sticks around from patch to patch.
    Prepare to be frustrated by the game, and prepare to be disappointed every time you see that one friend of yours (who doesn't even really remember what's going on plot-wise) log in for a few days when new content is out to "check it out" only to luck out and get his best in slot legendaries and high titanforged items, then snarky remark that "lol, that's all content?", and proceed with quitting until next patch, while you still don't have the legendary you want half a year after launch and doing content weekly since then.

    Prepare to grind your soul out trying to get your hidden artifact appearance (especially Combat "aka Outlaw" rogue one. Really, good luck with that, I've personally met ppl who have ran both of those dungeons over 400 times each, and I myself ran them over 150 times without getting anything). Prepare to hear how some random guildie will get one on his alt and never use it, or laugh in chat about how easy it was.

    Classes have devolved even further, under false pretense of "trimming"/"pruning"/making them "fun" to play. Instead of fun you get flashiness and instant gratification centered gameplay with little depth to it and low skill ceiling (even MoP/Cata were better in that). Some classes stay broken months into expansion without any improvement (promises that "it's coming soon™" don't count) - look up hunters ever since legion launched, or warlocks.

    Overall I would place Legion among worst expansions World of Warcraft ever had, even more so because things it did get *really good* get simply crossed out by how frustrating and grindy game has become. Yes, story is good. Yes, raiding is somewhat solid. Yes, mythic+ is fun to do, but only at first. Yes, introduction of appearance collections and sets is welcome. But all of it gets totally overshadowed by how much game has degraded in its very core aspects.    … Expand

    It's pretty bad. The social element and the gameplay is pure grindfest on all fronts. Every meaninful achievement is "time gated" which means you will have to wait for cooldowns to do simple quests or cooldowns to achieve any level of power.

The storylines you follow while in the leveling up process are brilliant they come with cinematics too, This is a first for Wow. At this point in the game i felt like wow has changed for the better, revolutionised, until you finish the story lines for each area...

    Even when you hit cap in late game level 110 things still don't go downhill, theres area quests that keep you occupied and you can help one another and you get gear from this. The item level system is more forgiving this way. The raids are challanging and exciting. These are the pros.

    Now the cons. To fly in the legion world requires a huge grind of an achivement. without spoiling it they made it in such a way that your doing mindless boring tasks everyday for ages to a point until it turns into a chore. I rather do chores at work to get paid over time, then do boring mindless repeptative task and pay them! ( 3 months in by the way)

    Firstly you have to complete the storylines and the last one is terrible. You can only do so many quests before you have to actually grind rep to unlock these quests for the flying achievement. They do this to boost monthly subscriptions and thats not the only problem. They made the area of the final storyline questing place such a way, it wastes your time and your money.

    The drops in raids are very low. I went on doing raids for a few weeks before getting a drop. Thats how bad it is. 1 drop per 1 boss a week even though you don't get a drop.

    It seems like the game will be like this until it has a very small player base. I'm done with the game for good after 7 years of returning. No more i'v had enough.

    If your looking to start World of Warcraft again after so long stay away, believe me its not worth your time or effort. Don't get me wrong the first bit of the leveling process is amazing. But it seems like a marketing tactic to draw you in with a solid start to make you believe the the game has changed. Well it has changed, for the worst. To be honest i cannot see the games future, and don't wish to be a part of it anymore.    … Expand

    Based on my experience above and playstyle Legion has been pretty disappointing.

    The good:
    The class artifact quests are VERY VERY good. They have excellent stories and are tuned to your character class and spec. My assassination rogue has to sneak, pick pockets, pick locks, and...assassinate people. The same is true for each different class.

    The story line is good and filled with typically fun cut scenes and lore.

    The class halls and the new mission systems are an improvement on the garrison system of Draenor. Less 'champions' and mission to manage makes altaholics happy. It also puts you back into a more public setting making the game feel more alive.

    The world quest system is better than the old dailies and supplies decent loot transition once the zone quests are completed.

    The bad:
    Blizzard has gone backwards with quest design and sequencing. Class and professions all have deep quest lines to open up functionality and these quest lines are not aligned. You spend alot of time on flightpaths and riding around looking for quests. They also went back to dropping dungeon quests in the middle of quests chains. This is a game killer for solo players as you either never finish the quest line or join a PUG.

    The resource system used to fuel mission and followers requires you to constantly quest as there is no time based supply. This is fine for single or duel toon players but true altaholics can no longer just keep running mission for one toon to keep them progressing slowly, This may not really be a 'BAD' thing but was annoying for me as I don't have time to play all my alts enough to stay supplied.

    The rest of the game is typical WOW. generic classes, limited quest dynamics (fedex, kill x, collect y), and of course the aging graphic engine.

    I do suggest getting and running at least one toon through the content just don't expect Legion to motivate a 6 or 12 month resub.    … Expand

    Well, it's better than Warlords of Draenor. Then again, that wasn't exactly too hard to do.

    The 'Class Halls' over Barracks are a decent touch: Gives you a sort of personal space without it feeling empty.

    As an vanilla player, I see next problems:

    1) Too many options of PvE. Seriously, Blizzard, previously we had 5 man normal, 5 man heroic, 10/25 normal, and, ok, 25 heroic. But in WotLK, during Crusaders' Coliseum, it was already pain in the ass. Players should complete the same content over and over, for the same items with better numbers.

But in WotLK, during Crusaders' Coliseum, it was already pain in the ass. Players should complete the same content over and over, for the same items with better numbers. Now I should complete the same 5-ppl (!) dungeons, again and again, over and over.

    2) Artifact system. Great idea, but in the end it's just a lot of farming, Moreover, EVERY player has this freaking legendary-mythic-omg items. Every paladin has Ashbringer. Nuff said.

    3) Suramar. They tell us that here we have a great story. Agree. But "great story" in Suramar - it's just ~20% of all quests / activities. Other ones - yeah, farming again.

    4) According to last two things - it's not possible to improve your offspecs or alts. Oh, ok, it's possible of course, but you should spent twice more time on it. Farming, again.

    5) Professions. WTF? Bllizzard says that they amazingly improved professions system. But I see only boring quests (2016, quests like "got this ****, go through whole map, gave it to another NPC"?), and "recipe leveling system", which is affects only amount of reagents for crafting. Yeah, it's a great feature for game, where every player can buy gold for nothing, and top players have billions. Of course minus couple of golds for additional reagents will be interesting for them.

    6) Legacy mechanics & tech core. Graphic is outdated (and still require good hardware for ultra settings :D), gameplay mechanics is bored (target system is dead, default UI still useless af).

    7) Talents & skills. Tough topic, but from my point of view - every spec is broken, some fun skills removed from game, some useless skills added. But same story for every expansion, so, nothing new.

    Overall.
    During tBC and WotLK this game had great gameplay with dozen of options for every spec, focused way for both PvE and PvP (not like "do a bulk of activities and you will recieve rng item") less amount of farming, and great stories.

    Now WoW just push you farm some stuff & spend time in game. That's it. If you complete your leveling - let's go to Suramar. If you complete normal and heroic dungeons - let's go to Mythic. You're complete Mythic? So, let's do Mythic+! And don't forget about world quests, LFR, artifact power farming, Class Hall stuff farming, professions quests, etc.

    Dear Blizzard, please, just leave WoW in peace. Your gamers already grown up, they want to play in something completely different. Focus your WoW-team on new MMORPG, seriously. WoW2, Diablo MMORPG, Titan, whatever. It will be far more better that another expansion for game which can't give anything new to players.    … Expand

    After the abomination that was WoD, Blizzard needed a big hit in order to make World of Warcraft a relevant game once more. After years of agonizing alone in our Garrisons, Blizzard released Legion and with it, countless additions and improvements.

After years of agonizing alone in our Garrisons, Blizzard released Legion and with it, countless additions and improvements.

    Some big additions include: The Demon Hunter, a new hero class, a huge revamp of pvp, with it's prestige system being derived from games like CoD, the addition of Artifact Weapons that serve as an extra path of progression during end game, class order halls which are basically populated garrisons and some really cool dungeons with a mythic+ difficulty that resembles the Great rifts from D3.

    Alas, this game just isn't what it used to be. World of Warcraft just isn't the game that I grew up with anymore, and it isn't because of me. I haven't changed. The game has, in a very bad way. Many of the problems that have plagued the game since Wrath of The Lich King, are still present. The community is non-existant, end-game content with the exception of Mythic (+) is easy and forgettable, but most importantly, this game just doesn't feel like an MMORPG anymore.

    Being someone that has played since Vanilla, I fondly remember the days in which you actually depended on other players in order to progress. Take legendaries, for example. Forging Sulfuras was a colossal achievement, a server wide event, a great celebration for every member of the guild which had the lucky guy.
    Now? Legendaries just drop from doing Dungeons and Raids. Just like that. Randomly. It is so unrewarding and so forgettable, even the Legendary cape from MoP was more interesting.

    Anyways, this is just the tip of the iceberg: Classes are at their worst state ever, many of them are unrecognizable, the method of gearing is copy-pasted directly from Diablo with all it's RNG, the Artifact Power grind is gated by time as you receive so little AP from **** you do unless you research Artifact Knowledge which takes days. And I haven't even touched on the PvP, but I'm not a Pvper so I'll let others judge that.

    There are good things too, I have to admit: Dungeons kick-ass and are actually cool and unique, I like Class Hall campaigns but I despise the fact that they are time-gated with follower missions and I like the Demon Hunter.

    Overall though, when I think what this game once was and what it is now, I just kinda get sad. WoW is still a shadow of it's former glory, and I'm afraid it will never return to the glory days of Vanilla/TBC/Wotlk.

    Alas, if you are a new player and want to try this game, I'd still recommend it. It is still the best MMO on the market and probably you'll have a few months of fun.    … Expand

    the worst expansion to date, they tried to follow the storyline after WoD but continue with a BC feel. but go at with a less of a grind BC had. but what happened was the exact opposite. pvp is as inbalanced as ever still with major class changes happening in 7.1.5 when they said they werent going to. and lots of tuning along with it. but the patch will be released just after the holidays,the worst expansion to date, they tried to follow the storyline after WoD but continue with a BC feel. but go at with a less of a grind BC had. but what happened was the exact opposite. pvp is as inbalanced as ever still with major class changes happening in 7.1.5 when they said they werent going to. and lots of tuning along with it. but the patch will be released just after the holidays, not alot of time at all to fix their mistakes. and pve is no longer skill. or even player, but pure gear as the best gear isnt dropped by the hardest content or even a path of progression. but just straight up grinding at rng. with some classes not even being viable for pve without BiS legendaries which are very rare.

    the mythic+ system they introduced this xpack has potential but fell flat as it is poorly tuned and some affix combos arent even worth the frustration for some dungeons.

    along with the raid ToV which was 3 bosses basically virtually gated and impossible to do so you have something to do till nighthold. if you find bashing your faces against a brick wall "something to do",

    ultimately this expansion has left alot to be missed about the old wow as all it is now is virtually impossible content only the best of the best even have a shot at. and playing as much as possible to stay competitive cause unless youre that .5% lucky few with great rng drops.    … Expand

    They tried a lot more with Legion than with Warlords of Draenor but they completely missed the mark in their two biggest draws; Legendaries and Artifact Weapons.

    The artifact system is very unforgiving, the catchup mechanics are only stop gaps and the later you join the expansion the farther you will be behind anyone. God forbid you want to change which character you 'main'.

    The artifact system is very unforgiving, the catchup mechanics are only stop gaps and the later you join the expansion the farther you will be behind anyone. God forbid you want to change which character you 'main'.

    The weapons themselves could be done far better. There's only one iconic weapon that was made into an artifact (the Ashbringer) with most of the others being completely new additions to the world/lore of the game or weapons that were fairly obscure before hand. The hidden skin system is an absolute laugh as well. Most were simple affairs of RNG without much actual effort (or skill) to acquire.

    Then there is the legendary system, and the main problem with this entire expansion. In a game where you play to primarily play to increase the strength of your character by their items/gear, the system of Legendaries in Legion is an absolute farce. RNG baked into RNG and god forbid if you don't get a decent legendary and one of the extremely mediocre utility ones. The system is neither fair or balanced and the fact that someone at Blizzard got paid to design it is a joke.

    The legendary system is worse than Garrisons, another of those great ideas but completely wrong execution features in the game. Except Legion has only been out for less than 4 months and the current problem is far worse than what Garrisons did to Warlords of Draenor.

    I would contemplate returning for their first actual 'tier' of raid (they have purposely time gated it for some reason) but by that time I would be too far behind other people in Artifact Power, not to mention behind people with good legendaries, that it wouldn't be worth it.

    Even the World Quest system is boring and quite buggy, with quests not showing up on your map or actual bugs where you can't complete them or what not since launch that have not been fixed. Also, every other week it seems like a bunch of people get banned for 'exploiting' bugs that Blizzard implements in their game without checking.

    All in all, I give Legion a 3. For trying. But there are already way too many flaws to consider this even a 'good addition' to the Warcraft franchise    … Expand

    Solid expansion, but they're still out of touch with their playerbase in many regards. Forcing PvP players to do PvE i.e. Or announcing that gear will make almost no difference in PvP, still it feels just as bad facing a well geared player with all honor talents and full artifact traits as a partly maxed character. Also random PvP balance is lackluster.

    Great game compared to the previous expansion. There is a new class, and some new way to do daily quest, but instead of daily quest they are world quest, still get repetitive after a while, but that is just the way the game plays out. If you have any interest at all in the world of warcraft games this shouldn't be missed.
