Blizzard
Yesterday at gamescom we unveiled World of Warcraft: Legion, the next chapter in the Warcraft saga—but that was just the beginning. Members of the development team will be jumping back onto a stream this Sunday, August 9 at 8 a.m. PDT to dive further into the expansion’s features and content.
We’ll embed the stream right here when it goes live, so set your Hearthstones to return to
this article
on Sunday!
Additional Warcraft Info
Several interviews and tweets today have already started to give us additional information on the Legion expansion.
icy-veins.com and wowfan.cz
interviewed Ion Hazzikostas and Tom Chilton, and
vanion.eu
interviewed J. Allen Brack. We have the highlights from those interviews.
Demon Hunters will wear leather and be melee--they aren't ranged/mail since it doesn't fit the fantasy.
Demon Hunters will use a new weapon type, Glaives
Demon Hunters are a Hero class and will start at a higher level (above 90)
There are no weapon drops in Legion, you will be focused on your Artifact Weapon.
Although the IV interview stated that there will not be any legendary weapons in Legion, the vanion.eu interview suggested that Artifact weapons can become legendary - similar to how the cape in MoP got cooler through several patches. Specifics of artifact progression are still undecided.
Artifact weapons can be transmogged into other weapons but not vice versa.
Blizzard is working on a system for those players who have Artifact weapons but often play more than one spec. They dont want it to be painful.
There will be a "Warforged" system but this will not apply to Artifact weapons. The Warforged/Socket/Extra Stats system may even be expanded upon, for more variance.
Dalaran clarifications: you'll still access a Wrath-era version in Northrend, but there's a Broken Isles version in Legion.
Karazhan mentioned as "an important place" but no reveal other than that. It's presence in the cinematic was noted for this reason.
Several classes are in major re-development mode i.e. Survival Hunters becoming a melee spec and Demo Warlocks being masters of summoning demons, not becoming them.
Hunters: Survival will be melee with a pet, Beast Mastery will be ranged with a pet, Marksmanship will be ranged with no pet.
No stat squish for Legion
Profession overhaul is coming
Flying will come in a similar fashion to how it came in Warlords.
PvP gear clarifications: no longer have unique stats like Dual Item Level like in the past and they want to define PvP on the honor system. Many more changes are coming to PvP, we should be getting more clarification on this soon.
Blizzard is working out a way to retain interest in 5 mans throughout the course of an expansion.
Hearthstone
Thanks to our sister site
Hearthhead
for their coverage of this stream!
The Hearthstone stream featured streamer Kripparian, senior game designer Mike Donais and executive producer, Hamilton Chu to talk about the upcoming Hearthstone expansion!
The developers feel the Joust mechanic is a good counter to low-cost aggressive decks.
The Inspire mechanic greatly changes the value of Hero Powers and adds a new dimension to the game.
