Legion

I'm in full fledged 'Avoid Spoilers' mode, so I'll just say this -- today, while leveling in the Legion alpha, the game objectively surprised me by not only not killing a character, not only giving her (yes, a her) a redemption arc of sorts, but showing me what that character's face looks like for the first time since Warcraft 3.

The demigod Cenarius is the son of Malorne and Elune.

Last week Blizzard told us that Warlords of Draenor Challenge Mode weapon appearances will be account-wide in Legion.

The return of the Legion alpha came with the addition of the Shaman class, which means there's a new class hall to tour.

Welcome to our new monthly Demon Hunter column, Spectral Insight.

While we'd originally planned to hit up the brand new Violet Hold on the Legion alpha this week in lieu of the usual leveling stream, we quickly discovered that it was a little too out of control to handle.

Look, I know I've mentioned this before.

The Legion alpha is full of plenty of new quests, zones, class halls and more -- including a wide variety of new Battle Pets to fight, capture, purchase and discover.

So far I've run Val'Sharah and Highmountain and man, they really hammer home what I hated about some zones like Deepholm or Netherstorm -- the lack of variety.

The Rogue class hall was decidedly underwhelming when we looked at it back in December.
