After a bit of a hiatus, Z & Cinder’s Blog Challenge is back in action with a timely pair of topics:
Part 1 – What were your top 3 moments in Legion?
Part 2 – What are you most looking forward to about Battle for Azeroth?
Part 1
Legion had so many great moments. The storytelling in Legion is wonderful, from the Artifact acquisition quests to the leveling zones to the profession quest chains to the Order Hall Campaigns to Suramar to Argus.
I always love that moment in Highmountain when Ebonhorn turns into Ebyssian and Mayla is all “WHAT???!!! THE WHOLE TIME???!!!” I also really got a kick out of the part of the Suramar Insurrection campaign in which you go to do some leyline stuff in Azsuna and Valtrois and Stellagosa spend the whole time sniping at each other about who has the more superior knowledge and mastery of arcane magic. And I enjoyed the wand practice, rune drawing, and fantastic beasts quests at Nar’thalas Academy so much that Kaelinda often goes to do the WQ versions of them just for fun.
As for cinematics, the first three that come to mind are Greymane stopping Sylvanas from enslaving Eyir, Elune embracing Ysera (for all that that scene is heartbreaking), and Illidan eye-lasering Xe’ra to bits.
Part 2
Jaina’s story, hands down.
Rolling a new Kul Tiran lady Mage. Their body type looks awesome, and so do their hairstyles.
Sprawling, complex capital cities full of small worldbuilding details in nooks and crannies.
Island Expeditions have tons of cool Mog stuff (hello Druid of the Flame gear!) so I’d like to give them a try.
Really looking forward to island expeditions as well. I’m hoping they can become a more varied endgame content that can be done repeatedly without boredom.
I’m not a huge fan of M+ dungeons myself. I just don’t see the draw to running the exact same thing over and over again with slight increases in difficulty.
I pretty much ignored M+ dungeons.
These Islance Expeditions seem like they’ll be more like the Pandaria Scenarios, which I rather enjoyed, with more variety. I hope they turn out to be actually as interesting as I hope they’ll be.
They really did nail it with the order hall campaigns. I played characters with whom I had little interest and got completely entertained. Fun stuff.
Getting people to try new classes — a great side-effect of the class-specific order hall campaigns! Glad you enjoyed the ones that you did 😀
Ooh, that scene in HighMountain, thank you for reminding me, that was great 🙂 Good luck in BfA, Kam! Looking forward to see all the new transmogs you’ll find 🙂
🙂 Now I just hope they follow up and show us something with Ebyssian and Wrathion (and maybe even Sablemane from Outland) at some point during BfA or the expansion after that…
