So, the Legion pre-release event is happening. Who all is playing and what have you experiences been? So far, I'm rather liking most of it. The Broken Shores event was interesting and will certainly shake things up for a while with changes that have been made. Demon Hunters do seem interesting and fun to play. Class changes seem to vary between "Well, a few tweaks" to "holy hell where are half my abilities and the other have  have changed so much." Looking at you, enhancement shaman. The new wardrobe system is mostly nice. I do wish you could change appearance on the fly instead of having to run back to a transmogrifier. I'm not too fond of the changes to glyphs. Especially that they seem to have wiped out all existing glyphs on characters, meaning if you want the effects of a glyph you had already acquired, you have to go buy/make it again. Demonic invasions are okay, they just don't feel particularly rewarding or epic though. The zombie invasion of pre-Wrath of the Lich King still is the best for me. But a lot of people really hated it. It was a very polarizing event.

Overall, my experience has been positive. This is mostly storytelling stuff to set up the Legion. Gul'dan has been handled well as the main Big Bad. Cut scenes continue to get better. There was more action and emotion in the few minutes of cut scenes than in the live action film. And it didn't feel as often forced and awkward as it was for that. I'm giving the launch event Four The Horde! out of five.

TheEvilDog:
Definitely one of the best expansion pre-launches Blizzard have done, definitely on a par with the zombie attacks for Wrath (as an aside, my biggest problem with Wrath was because the zombie event made it very difficult to get to the towns and cities for much lower level characters).

The class changes have been a little what the hell at times, with me trying to figure out what the hell has happened to my Paladin, though I do have to say that I prefer the much smaller attack pool because you can see what combinations will work better soon.

Demon Hunters are just plain vicious. Massive amounts of damage in a very short burst, especially with the eye-beam. Also if you can pull it off, it seems like if you do a rush attack from a glide, you extra damage. Maybe it just seems like it though, but it does seem like a viable tactic.

Never really used glyphs so its no skin off my nose.

Demonic invasions are kinda fun, but the rewards are kind of hit and miss, as I've gotten the same shoulder pads three times with the same character, while another has gotten gloves, boots and a belt.

Legion is definitely an expansion that got me back into WoW like Cataclysm did. So, I'll give the launch event, 4 and a half Pit Lords out of 5.

LeeC:
They also added a few quest chains for the pre-launch.  Including Khadgar taking you to uldar and Karahzan.

hedgie:
It looks very interesting. Almost enough to make me want to get it.  But I really wonder if it's a good idea to not only add another melee class but to shove survival hunter and holy paladins there.

TheEvilDog:
To be fair, there's nothing holy about the demon hunters and they did exist in the lore anyway. And with them being restricted to the Elven races, they do fit, if only because we won't see a flood of Draenei demon hunters or Orc demon hunters, much like the Death Knights.

Yeah, it's another melee class but it's also more focused than the others, it's either DPS or straight up tank. For all people might say about Paladins, Death Knights or Bear Druids, Warriors were really the only ones with more of a natural inclination towards tanking. Vengeance Demon Hunter (or is that Havoc...can't remember) do offer s dedicated tank spec.

Actually I would go as far to say that Demon Hunters were more a combo of Rogues and Warlocks, quick damage backed up by fel damage.

I do imagine though that the next Hero class will probably be a mail wearing magic user, probably a battlemage or something. We'll only have to wait until the next Blizzcon for the announcement.
