Legion

During today's Legion livestream, Ion Hazzikostas announced the Legion closed beta phase will begin Thursday at 2 p.m.

Among the Diablo 3-esque features of this expansion, in addition to the bounty-like world questing, are legendaries with specific class ability effects, sometimes spec-specific.

Not long after Blizzard announced that an update to the long-destroyed Stormwind park was in the works, a new alpha build has been released showcasing those changes.

I've said here -- multiple times, even -- that I'm pretty happy with the state of Enhancement Shaman in Legion.

Early on in the Legion alpha, players accessed their class halls via a teleport ability found in their spellbook.

The most exciting news this week is that since we last spoke, we have a release date for Legion!

If you hadn't heard the (very spoilerific) news that Stormwind is finally getting its park fixed, then you're probably thinking, "It's finally being fixed?!" If you had heard the news already, though, then you've likely gotten over the surprise and moved onto other thoughts.

This week, the leveling stream team returned to the Legion alpha, where we fully intended to head to the Court of Stars.

Well, it's happened now -- Legion has been dated and we know exactly when we're going to be getting our Burning Legion invasion.

The Legion alpha has been chugging along and one controversial addition has been random world legendaries.
