Well, they wanted it to be "fair" for each armor class, which just means screwing everyone basically. It really should unlock everything for everyone, the added restriction is just obnoxious. Especially I'm finding now with old quests it only unlocks by armor class. So I've done every class in the game on one character but I don't have the related unlocks because they just want to be arbitrarily restrictive. But hey, having to farm old instances on four different characters to get unlocks because they didn't drop at the right time is a fun use of time, right? And doing an old quest four times is just making good use of pre-existing content. Or something.
Also the level restrictions on xmogs are just dumb, like the invasion gear that I unlocked on my level 10 hunter, I can't use as xmog until level 98. Because... reasons?

LOL are ret paladins really that bad?
Yep. A message pops up saying that the expansion is live and a quest box pops up to send you on your way. WoD launched a few minutes late (in the US anyway), so it's always possible it happens again for Legion.
In theory, yes.

I'm not looking forward to leveling one bit, nope.
I feel sorry for people who have like 20+ level 100 alts. I'm onnly going for 3 right now, and maybe when the catch mechanic is higher I'll do another 1 or 2.
Also, it seems like having multiple alts this xpac won't be really doable because of the artifact even with the catch up mechanic, unless AK is account wide.

Same.
I went through it multiple times on the beta (twice to completion), and found the questing to be... Well, just questing. It's no major leap over WoD (which was very good), but it's definitely not a step backwards - It's just questing, and questing is zzzzz.
I've 48 hours to get two toons eligible for world quests. Hopefully I can do it in the first stint.
Questing is the 8 hours of bullshit between me & playing with my friends.
I'm more not looking forward to inevitably pushing back leveling my other character(s) because I should focus on one for a bit. I've been having so much fun doing random shit on my Orc Shaman that if it weren't for basically everything of mine being alliance including the few friends I still have playing WoW, I'd level it first.

Because to me it's just a waste of time when 99% of the game is at level 110. What's the point of it? to see zones and new quest? I can do that at max level.
If the leveling took a long ass time or if the game was new then OK, but for me Iv'e seen 100's of times and feel like it's just a waste of time.
Yeah, true. I didn't rush it that much in the beta, but on live I'll be powering through it like a choo choo train.
After your daily dungeon, you're lucky to get more than 1 bar from a completed instance. It's absolute bullshit, but you wanna be doing quests anyway so you've the reputation required for World Quests at 110.
Undercity / Orgrimmar?

No. You basically need to complete every zone for reputation in order to unlock world quests which are a core part of Legion's endgame. Even if you could instance grind, it would be dumb to, as you'd have to do the quests anyway.
It was the same in WoD - 5 leveling dungeons two levels apart, all of which gave shite XP. Was hoping to be able to get some levels while the garrisons were down, but nope...
And the zone quests are also needed for the eventual flying achievement as well. They really want you questing.

She is still in Undercity. Saurfang is holding down the fort in Orgrimmar now.
I didn't play the beta specifically because I don't want to be tired of the content before it's even out. I can't relate to the people who spent so much time on the beta, with progress that will not carry over. I'm glad they did, of course, since their feedback most likely had a positive effect, but yeah. I'm super looking forward to leveling. It's what I look forward to most in a new expansion. What I'm NOT looking forward to is exhausting new content and being caught in a repetitive end game grind cycle.

If your going to be killing lowbies during invasions behind a building then atleast don't be a bitch when I come around to kick that ass. Never seen a druid run away like a scared child so fast.
With that said going with my mage for Legion. The artifact has grown on me a lot and fire is just too much fun to play. Dropped mining and engineering to pick up tailoring and enchanting but kind of regretting it since this shit is a pain to level up.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Welp, just bought the digital deluxe edition and I honestly don't even know why. There was literally -nothing- that I needed from that, especially since there, for some STUPID fucking reason, wasn't a Hearthstone reward.

Yes, he gives you the mission for old expansions, and in the barrens invasion phase

That's good to know, thank you. I aim to have the thread up around 6-9 hours before EU launch.
Making final preparations on all my alts, cleared out bags except for the few essentials, all intro quests done.
Way I figure, I'll log in on release day on each of them, do their first artifact/hall stuff, and then go focus on my main (arcane mage). I want them all ready to go later on.

Irrelevant. I didn't level on any of the previous betas, but I still wasn't looking forward to leveling at all. It's no longer an experience - It's just a roadblock between me & playing with the people I like to play with.
If I'm not going to enjoy it either way, I might as well put time into finding out how to best level when it actually matters so I can get to where I want to be ASAP.

Still haven't chosen a main. My main focus is to tank mythic+.
Top picks:
-Blood DK, feels good, but why does wraith walk have to suck so bad?
-Prot Warrior, seems super strong, but ignore pain spam is pretty boring and I played warrior through most of WoD
-Guardian Druid, Very sturdy, but I don't really want to be a troll or tauren
Long shot picks:
-DH, Lots of fun, but the competition will be fierce, and DH tanks will get a bad reputation from all the terrible players picking up the class
-Monk, Really fun, but already has an unfairly bad reputation. Have to work way harder to stay alive than every other tank.
No thanks: Paladin
"Nevermind, I don't want the stress of tanking for pugs" pick: Hunter
Spent a ton of time tanking mythic 5s on pre-patch and normals on beta as all 5 candidate classes but I still haven't been able to settle on anything for more than a couple days before I change my mind.

Can you use the AoE attack to avoid damage? That looks like it could be useful for some raid mechanics if timed properly
So I work fulltime and I have dad duties... This leaves me with about two hours of playtime per night. I haven't played WoW since Burning Crusade (level 66 mage).
I was wondering if I shouldn't even consider coming back, or 2 hours of playtime is enough if I don't plan on raiding ?

Sure it is. That's about all I have most days too.
I'm in a similar boat in terms of available time to play, so I'll take a crack at it:
It depends on what you want to do. If you want to be a hardcore raider (I know you said you don't want to), then obviously the answer would be no.
What I like is to have a particular task that I'm working on, that way I can use that 2 hours to work towards that goal. For example, I wanted to get the Draenor flying achievement, so I used Wowhead's planner to chip away at it.
I also like to jump on and run an old raid for mounts and transmogs.
I do like to raid/dungeon when I can, but I hardly ever plan on it.
There's so much to do in the game that if there is something you like about it (fishing, battle pets, running old content, etc, etc.), then there is definitely value in resubbing.
I don't usually get excited for questing the first time around, either. If I'm leveling day 1, I'm trying to get cap ASAP and am not there to enjoy the zones. I'll actually take the zones in and get to appreciate them on my alts.
The new expansion ritual I really look forward to is the dungeon grind prior to raids opening up. The race has started, the dungeons aren't 100% trivial yet, and upgrading your main at a rapid pace is addicting.
That's plenty. WoW is good at being only as much of a commitment as you want it to be.

I'd say...
Druid > DK > Warrior, based on how fun I find them, and how enjoyable/flexible they are with the off-specs (Druid's are obviously gods).
In terms of strength for Mythic+, it's possibly the other way around right now. Warriors are ridiculous.
Sweet, thanks guys. I guess I'll jump on board. I mostly play solo in MMOs (I know, I'm weird
), I just don't want to bother people with my constant interruptions. I enjoy questing and the storylines, so I hope the quests are actually worth reading. ESO / The Secret World have great stories.Did they change the quest structure / writing / gameplay since vanilla / burning crusade ?
I'm sticking with my Brewmaster because it's still fun. That's always my primary concern, though I have mulled a swap to Bear or Warrior because of how strong they are.
