Yeah yeah I know, another "legion was meh" post.
Well sort of. Legion feels great.
I missed WoD and half of MoP (played since vanilla), legion feels really one of the best expansions they have made in long time. World quests, mythic plus all that jazz.
However. I feel that legion has been rushed on quite few things. Not massive, per se, but things that made me go "wtf?".
Sorry for longish post and stuff probably not making much sense.
First of all, Music
Where is it? Legion has barely any original music tracks on it.
This is super sad, because I still believe WoW and blizzard makes one of the best videogame OST's out there.
About every track has been just remixed together from old content. Howling fjord/Utgarde music for Valajar-areas, Vashj'ir for naga-areas, Black temple music for Legion areas and DH/Warlock Order hall. Not to mention Dalaran (I can forgive re-use but god, it would grind my ears to hear it another year or two after wotlk)
I only found new music in Maw of Souls(?) and Emerald Nightmare. Even those feel a bit meh.
Pets
Capturable pets are kinda generic. Another "not huge deal" here.
Why isnt suramar having arcane-y pets I can capture? Why is it filled with damn basic squirrels and even more SNAKES.
Stormheim has snakes and turkeys. And squirrels.
Where is Fel pets? Old zones have way more variety in them when it comes to battle pets. Come on?
Some order hall things. Hidden artifacts..
The "kill boss to get hidden artifact" loot feels so weird.
Warlocks get flat dmg/haste boosts or ...100% healt regen? Not to mention They dont even stack.
DH's get stuff like 50% eye beam dmg increase WITH cooldown reduced by 50% on it. Or attacks cause random dmg. Healing received by 50%? Thats pretty awesome if you are doing Mythics (normal), Normal BGs, heroics undergeared etc. And they stack.
Not to mention some classes just walk inside cave, run macro to find if they get hidden artifact. Or some just buy one from damn vendor in dalaran.
Trial of Valor
3 bosses. No new zone to fight in. I feel that this is laziest raid they've done since Trial of Crusader. Maybe its "trial" thing?
Yeah sure, the fights have been said to be good on mythic, but I talk about zones, models and lore. At least ToC had dailies, 5-man and new zone to fight in. While very poor (one room which was same in 5-man and Raid. No trash) it was least something. And ToV has barely any lore attached to the raid itself. Just that "bring me beer and go kill few things idk". It didnt feel like "the end of helya" at all.
