Some pretty interesting stuff in the panel just now (when I finally got through the nonstop buffering, for a paid stream it was awful...), IF the reality lives up to it, then I think Legion will at least be an improvement on WoD, I'm wary of being more optimistic till I see more but it seems to have potential ;-) Stuff that interested me includes: Scaling mobs/zones below lvl 110, so you can do the levelling zones in any order (hooray, might be the first expansion since Wrath that it's actually bloody playable on my server then, if we all spread out across 4 zones instead of 4k+ people all trying to do the same few quests at once), and rewards likewise scale. I especially like the sound of *everything* then being usable as max lvl content, always found it a shame that you rarely go back to some pretty cool zones, just because they're low lvl. Endgame world content, reminded me of the D3 bounty system tbh, stuff to do all over the map, and pick what you like the look of, with none of it daily, but varying lengths of availability, so not daily chores. It certainly seems likely to be a huge improvement over WoD's (lack of) endgame, whether it has lasting power remains to be seen. This is the one which really needs to work for me. Dungeons ending the main storylines again, well actually my first thought was "oh no" because I really don't like pugging dungeons. But with that said, I did bother with them more when they were actually relevant and part of the story, rather than standalone places with no connection to anything much. Maybe this time out I'll last more than 4 dungeons into an expansion before hitting a pug bad enough to put me off trying any more... :-P We'll see, it might be better this time out at least, if what they're talking about actually happens (and I note everything they showed seems pretty near finished, maybe they've given up showing concepts because people really don't like it when stuff doesn't happen) At the very least the zones look graphically awesome, as usual, so I'll certainly enjoy exploring it, whatever may happen after that. (Also druids enjoy your new moonkin/aquatic forms, they look tons better!)
