Preview All that is known about the World of Warcraft: Legion

The return of Illidan, the twelfth game class, flushed weapons and other new World of Warcraft: Legion

One of the major announcements of the exhibition gamescom - Legion, another chapter in the history of World of Warcraft. Hot on the heels of presentations and roundtables Blizzard, we prepared a list of the most important novelties of the sixth supplement to the game.

Illidan back

Illidan, one of the most powerful and charismatic villains in World of Warcraft, was killed eight years ago players. But it seems that the magician found a way to resurrect Guldan crazed demon hunter. Blizzard has not disclosed in detail the role that Illidan will play in World of Warcraft: Legion, but there is a chance that it will become one of the main bosses of this update.

New Continent - Chopped Islands

In addition players will go to the Chopped island - the mysterious land, of which once came to the race of elves. Now these lands captured demons of the Burning Legion, who are ready for the large-scale invasion of Azeroth. Chopped Islands consist of six major areas, as well as the city of Dalaran - in these locations can pump up to 110 levels and get in the new dungeon game.

New class - Demon Hunter

Demon Hunter - the second hero class, which, like the death knight, immediately starts the game with a fairly high level (it is not known what exactly). Unlike other classes in World of Warcraft Demon Hunter only two talent trees - one for the tank, one for melee. This lack of developers compensate for unique abilities. Demon Hunter is the most mobile character in the game - in his arsenal is not only classical jerks, but a double jump, and even the ability to plan, attacking the enemy from above.

Class Weapon

Adventures player in the Legion will begin with the creation of the legendary weapons, which will be unique for each specialization of each class. Many samples are already familiar to fans of World of Warcraft - for example, two-handed sword paladins get Incinerator (Ashbringer), formerly the most rare weapon in the classic version of the game. Weapons will "grow" with the hero, not just changing the look, but dialing your own experience that you can invest in one or another amplification and fit favorite sword or staff under their own style of play. Among the gains have shown strong enough - for example, the death knight will be able to rise to the battlefield.

Bastion

A stronghold - the development of the idea of ​​the garrisons of Warlords of Draenor. Each class will have its own stronghold, the same for all players (even here you can peacefully mingle with the other faction), which will become a base for exploring the islands to split. The stronghold of the players hired associates - they will not so much as in the garrison, but the benefits and opportunities of each will be much higher. Companions will not only perform tasks the player, but in some cases, will fight with him side by side. Garrisons thus will not be lost - most likely they will remain relevant for those players that are pumped with 90 100 level, passing Warlords of Draenor.

The new system of honor

Developers have altered the system of credit points, returning to her encouragement to those who play a lot. Now, each player has a fifty ranks - typing them, it opens up new possibilities, useful in battles with other characters. At the end of the hero gets a choice - either to stay on the fiftieth rank or lose progress in return the title and some rare, but not giving benefits like object mount. In the second case, the development will have to start all over again, reopening the same skills - and so back to the fiftieth level, where you can take another title with a valuable reward.

As with the Warlords of Draenor, in Legion, players can start right away with a new story - the kit will complement one hero instant pumping up to 100 levels. When will the new adventure, is still unknown. Developers keep the release date a secret, but some guesses to do it is still possible: the beta testing of the game exactly to start the holiday season, and since each addition to World of Warcraft test for about five months, the supplement should not wait for later summer 2016 year. That is - almost simultaneously with the premiere of Warcraft.
