But after going back though some snapshots of the stuff I did in legion (I tend to take snapshots of moments in expansions to remember it), I realized how much I miss it now when it was the focus of the game.
- The setting, while a mix up of different environments, made the zones feel unique in their own unique stories, and detailed and rich enough that it didn't need to be interconnected with other zones.
- The artifact system was a lot of fun, and made every character I played on, alts included, feel important, like they were part of something bigger instead of just playing my main and sometimes alts.
- The graphics and design and music were all fantastic, the best wow's ever looks (Suramar city is probably the nicest city in wow).
- The story itself was rich and exciting, and felt like it all lead somewhere. I enjoyed each zone for their depth into other characters are areas of lore not yet talked about in the game.
- Boss fights and confrontations were pretty great, fighting some big names like gul'dan, kil'jaeden, Xavius, Varimathras, the legion forces themselves, including some newer and interesting characters like elisande and helya.
- Class order was a nice addition that felt like something personal, like the choice we made to our characters years ago when we first made them finally mattered for something.
The expansion had some flaws its true, but for once I feel like just saying how good it was, when coming out of wod, and how current bfa feels.
