Val’sharah

Legion has a slightly different dynamic than any other expansion before it.

Yesterday, I used the exact same header image you see on today's Breakfast Topic.

With Legion, you will be following a non-linear path in your quest to reach level cap. The mobs and zone content will scale up with your level,  so you can hit up zones in any order that you'd like.

Legion is so close you can practically taste it — it's a bit fel, so it's sort of a combined minty and spicy with a hint of screaming — but we still have hours to wait.

So I recently leveled my 10th level 100 thanks to invasions (five Warriors – Human, Worgen, two Draenei and a Night Elf plus two Demon Hunters, a Hunter, a Shaman and a Paladin) and when I got the most recent Warrior to Stormwind I found myself constructing a story for her in my head. She’s a Night Elf, a traditionalist who thinks a man’s place is sleeping in a barrow den somewhere talking to trees. She absolutely thinks she should be running the whole war against the Legion and she’s not very deferential to her people’s ‘leaders’ at all.

So during the scene in the throne room she was pretty much all you know, Jaina’s got a lot of good arguments. If Jaina starts her own faction, I think she’d be down for a gig as Jaina’s new Night Elf bodyguard.

Yeah, it didn’t work out great for the last one, but that sort of proves her point.

This is the Queue. Let’s chat.

Back in April, we took a look at the World Quest feature in Legion.

Val'sharah is one of three zones currently available for play in the Legion alpha.

One thing I've noticed while leveling through Legion is that there are a lot of Battle Pets out there available through questing, by killing rares, or simply by stumbling into the right place at the right time.

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 Legion alpha is back, and there's plenty of new content to investigate and explore!
