So is this the thing that Blizzard said will shock you/be unexpected?

[Vaelorian]

Sure we've only seen a small part of Legion or rather the prethingy.

But honestly I doubt very much we'll see anything "as surprising" as the pre-eventthingy. What are your thoughts?

Just PR talk. Just think of it this way: A lot of shit movies, (and I'm not saying I think the cutscenes are shit), or any other product, were talked about as if they are the greatest, most surprising thing to ever grace our planet before their release.

Everything other than the cutscenes was in the beta test so unless you've not seen what happens there, there's hardly anything surprising to it.

Good hype to drum everything up .. but in the end a return to Legacy would catch my fancy more.

As for events, nothing beats the TBC expansion. It even had it's own island, which was nearly impossible to get to, yet possible via combo spells / abilities .. stuff that made you think .. Otherwise, TBC was a social event. Legion excursions are solo.. horray. Whoopie!

What island is that? I've played TBC and I practically lived in it (every waking minute) but never heard of a mysterious island. It is not Pen Island by chance?

[Narshe]

No idea what they were ever referencing when they claimed that had something huge that we havent seen yet. Kind of forgot they ever said it until now, which turned out to be a good thing.

[Teaon]

last time they said that, was on SoO where they said the warchief will be someone you wont expect, everyone and their grandmothers knew it was Vol'jin

and ta dah, it was him!

[Foj]

It's but a setback.

[Pickynerd]

Blizzard is slightly disconnected, what they think is brand new and exciting, we've already done in other games 3 years ago.

Oh it wasn't surprising to you when you have been reading spoilers and datamined info on MMO-C for the past 6 months? Gee I wonder why.

[Deleted]

I think what they are talking about involve illidan /nod

[D3athsting]

So is also Fordring gone for good too?

[Deleted]

I think that unexpected thingy is connected with the island that will be shipped with the first patch.
But I also have to admit that making Illidan a champion of the light was also shocking and unexpected

I've been shocked by zero data mined spoilers since announcement.

Only thing they could do to shock me, is actually do something new.

[tankbug]

Don't visit this page ever, don't watch wow content on wow, and just stick with the official information they release and talk about on presentations. Then you would have a chance of getting surprised. Before the rumors started flowing on mmo-champ, I was certain that Varian would be the green jesus of this expansion. Obviously, that turned out to be false. But if I had stayed away, I would have been pretty shocked doing the pre-legion scenario.

[Kaleredar]

It's difficult to be shocked by something when you effectively read the script before it even happens.


To players who don't stalk the forums and read datamined info/play the beta, Varian, Tirion and Vol'jin's death might very well have come as a surprise.

What part of the pre-event, do you find surprising? Except how quickly the invasions get old....

Indeed, we've had a couple in our guild who knew nothing about it - they play the game without visiting forums and WoW websites - they were pretty shocked.

It's easy to be jaded when you're a regular to certain forums.

Literally every single time you post its got to bring legacy into it. No one cares.

[shise]

Everything they do is shocking and totally unexpected.

Problem is that now a days we have all this forums and site (which are great, don´t take me wrong), those sites pretty much spoil it thousand times before it happens.

[thilicen]

Think we got something big coming for us in the content patches to lead up to whatever comes next, this wasn't at all surprising. News about Varian came pretty much before the alpha started.
