1:18 Beta to begin later this year.
1:16 Prestige Ranks - You can reset your honor level and start over for cosmetic rewards like portrait badges, unique mounts, and unique PvP artifact variants
1: 08 New PvP Honor System - Version 3 - A PvP Talent System - You progress through honor ranks 1-50 and earn perks/bonuses. You unlock talents as you go. These abilities will only work in PvP and gives differentiation between PvP and PvE. We want distinction in all the PvP classes and specs.
12:59 Demon Hunters - character creation - different horns types, sizes or none at all; tattoos; skin variations; different eyewear. They have a unique starting experience similar to how DKs did in Lich King. Havoc and Vengeance specs - Havoc is DPS, Vengeance is tank. Only two specs for Demon Hunters.
12:53 - Raids - The Emerald Nightmare will feature 7 bosses, Emerald Dream, twisted and shadowed, pursue Cenarius, face Xavius; Suramar Palace - 10 bosses, home to the Nightwell, center of Suramar's power, face off against Gul'dan
12:52 Dungeons - Eye of Azshara, Darkheart Thicket, Neltharion's Lair, Helheim, Suramar City, Violet Hold
12:47 Dungeons & Raids - Dungeons are the heart of what the MMO experience is. There will be more dungeons, more replayability and more of a long-term reason to keep coming back. Halls of Valor - in the clouds above Stormheim.
12:46 Champions will have more customization, more import in the world. They will enable the player to do greater deeds in the world. You'll work alongside and with them. They won't compete for rewards.
12:42 Class Orders - Players become the leader of your character's Class Order. Focus is on identity. They are working together as a class to fight the evil. The central theme of Legion is a heavy focus on class. We want you to feel different from other classes. A base of operations for your class. It's not personal, but is a private space for members of your class and will be thematically appropriate. It's where you go to make upgrades to your Artifact. You will have champions, an evolution of the Draenor system. Fewer followers, more meaningful. Think Knights of the Round Table. More world integration/interaction.
12:34 Each weapon has a UI interface that gives players choices to travel the path along the tree they wish. For instance, Raise Ally for a Frost DK can raise and ally to full health/mana or resurrect themselves. Players can unlock different looks for weapons.
12:31 Artifacts and Class Orders - Artifacts will feature 26 artifacts, one for each specialization. For instance, Frost Death Knights will seek out the remains of Frostmourne to create a pair of rune blades. Weapon's power is an extension of your own. Earn Artifact Powers as you adventure to unlock traits that empower your weapon and your character. Visual customizations can be added. Choose your path to greatness.
12:30 p.m. What about Valeria and Turelyon - Their time is here!
12:24 p.m. Val'Sharah, a forgotten druid location and face off against those wishing to unleash the Emerald Dream. We will go into the Emerald Nightmare and dispense some justice. In Stormheim, we'll learn the origins of the Val'Kyr. In Azsuna, the bones of the Night Elf civilization. You'll instantly see that this was once somewhere very special. Introduced to the Nightfallen. We'll be racing Queen Azshara to find a pillar in the area. Highmountain is the highest point in the Broken Isles, home of the Mountain Tauren. While here, we may run into Nesingwary (LOL!). Suramar will lead to a new race of elves. These elves have lived here for 10,000 years. They are pawns of the Burning Legion and they have the last relic we need.
12:22 p.m. We will turn to the Titans and the Pillars of Creation. Dalaran and the Mages of the Kirin Tor, led by Khadgar, will return and it will become a major hub for players.
12:20 p.m. We will see, through Illidan's eyes, the plight of the Demon Hunters, the Illidari. We will go into their past and experience what the Demon Hunters went through and then forge their future.
12:18 p.m. When the prelude ends, we'll wake to a world on fire. We will wield the fabled artifacts of those we've lost and for those who have lost hope. We will attempt to restore peace. We'll form class orders. Become a Demon Hunter!
12:17 p.m. This is the biggest demonic invasion of Azeroth ever, bigger than the War of the Ancients. This all begins before the expansion launches.
12:15 p.m. Story & Setting - The Broken Isles - Highmountain, Val'sharah, Stormheim, Suramar, Azsuna, Dalaran, Broken Shores, Thal'Dranath are the featured locations. It is a graveyard of sorts. The Tomb of Sargeras lies here.
12:11 p.m. The Burning Legion has returned! World of Warcraft - LEGION
12:09 p.m. Burning Legion takes the stage - Broken Isle continent, Adventure to level 110, harpies, new dungeons & raids, new Honor System, Artifact Weapons, class order halls, NEW HERO CLASS - DEMON HUNTER
12:08 p.m. Another video - the actual announcement trailer with features & concepts
12:07 p.m. Guldan walking through a cave, places fel-green hand on a doorway, perhaps ice? ILLIDAN!
12:07 p.m. A video to connect WoD to the next expac
12:06 p.m. It's gratifying for us to finally share it now.
12:05 p.m. Tom Chilton takes the stage
12:05 p.m. Where do we go next?
12:02 p.m. Video: The Story so far, a recap of Warlords
12:00 p.m. It begins!

sounds like a solid few weeks of fun.
Also new hero class is fun... Might have to try this out
This have been a good conversation
It's fun to hear about the stories in the new zones 99% of players will ignore and rush through in order to get to the 10+ tiers of rush, rush, RUSH Raid grind.
You stay sassy!
so, is demon hunter a new race as well as class? or does the existing races transform into the demon hunter class?
Proud MMORPG.com member since March 2004! Make PvE GREAT Again!
I never understand these comments. What do you expect from a 10 year old MMO? do you go around making similar comments on every decade old MMO? EQ? EQ2? Lienage2?
No right?
rpg/mmorg history: Dun Darach>Bloodwych>Bards Tale 1-3>Eye of the beholder > Might and Magic 2,3,5 > FFVII> Baldur's Gate 1, 2 > Planescape Torment >Morrowind > WOW > oblivion > LOTR > Guild Wars (1900hrs elementalist) Vanguard. > GW2(1000 elementalist), Wildstar
Now playing GW2, AOW 3, ESO, LOTR, Elite D
Why would he? This thread is about Wow. This isn't a 10 year old game. Wow has updated itself several times and this is 100% new content they JUST developed and are developing. Comments can and will be about it's current state and current content.
Stop trolling on someone else's opinion. You gave no opinion of your own.
You stay sassy!
I just don't get how, if he expected it, it could let him down. Maybe one of those disorders where you forget things, like you can scare yourself in the mirror because you forgot what you look like. IDK, just saying, if you're expecting something to be crappy and it is crappy, I'm not sure how it let you down. It actually met your expectations. So you should be saying "YAY! WoW totally met my expectations!"

Please stop mis using the world trolling.
I gave my opinion very clearly. All MMOS bring more of the same after a decade being on market. I am sorry i upset your sensitive soul with my harsh comment.
But till i play a MMO which re invents the wheel with every new expansion i will stick to what i said.
Yeah, totally disappointed in this news!
I'd comment more but I have no idea what the fuck you just typed.
You stay sassy!
No surprise there.
