There wasn't a single bad zone in Legion, I really enjoyed that expansion

[@Irades]

And what were the bad zones of WoD/MoP?

[@pho3nix-]

True yes, Legion was a great expansion.

[@cozymode70]

@@Irades hm, this hasn't to do anything with my intial comment but if I think about it then I'd say the insect zone of MoP and the desert zone of WoD... I don't remember well though.

9:26 my favorite part. I used to wake up 4 hours early before my shift and spend a few hours doing dailies and other things, but this song here was what a drank my coffee to. It woke me up feeling content and blissful. Legion was the only expansion besides BC that I took all the way to the endgame. I'll never forget it.

[@nickbrundli8996]

Indeed :)

[@curiousfishie]

Very much, it's like a phoenix rising above hardships of life 🐝💕

[@sansiro353]

Btw, this zone Is just Amazing, One of My fav in The whole Games. The Look and The Style, just Incredible, Since it was The best I decided to keep it as The last one to level in Legion and It Really paid off. Funny quests, Amazing Look, Amazing Music. Blizzard surely delivered to us Amazing zones with Legion.

Thank you @Everness I love your videos, they help me study and concentrate, and I also play them on my TV when tidying or chilling at home. Huge love! Highmountain is one of my favourite zones too, the music is amazing in both a calming nature way, but also feelings of fellowship and comradeship; climbing that mountain together!

[@paulinapyzio8093]

Woooah, it's so beautiful. Everness, I just wanted to say that your videos helped me a lot while writing my Master thesis - I have already successfully graduated and I even decided to go back to WoW because *nostalgia*. Thanks for making KZbin a better place!

[@ignacioleiva8427]

it's nice to know that I'm not the only one who listens to wow music to study

[@fatumteam]

One of my favorites zones is Grizzly Hills, that zone was very calm, peaceful, you can catch lots of herring, the scenery is beautiful, and the music is catchy. Then it came to this in Legion... I know about it nothing, and I've decided to go there last... OMG, the shocking feelings. And one of the most epic music in Azeroth. Oh and my absolute fav part from 9:26 I've got goosebumps every time I hear it. Breathtaking.

This was my favorite zone In Legion

[@Megoover]

One of the best locations since wotlk

[@Metalton95]

What other zones would you put up there? I stopped mid-Cata, but just re-subbed to retail now, to see what I missed in the following expansions. The Zandalari isles, the Broken Isles, Frostfire Ridge and Shadowmoon Valley 2.0 are all among their very best, imo :)

[@Megoover]

@@Metalton95 Never played Pandaria. As for WoD really love Spires of Arak. Arakkoas are cool and there is some important and interesting lore for them. First I hated Gorgrond (while leveling through zone), then it really grew on me. It has some unique and distinct zones and theme of giants ruling those lands and never-ending fight between them feels kinda unique. Overall, this place is real WILD. I never experienced Nagrand though, always leveled before reaching it. Talador is very interesting to look at Auchindoun and Shattrath before... you know. Sad we didn't get to see it peaceful and live. Other than that, beautifully crafted nature, but nothing memorable. Tanaan Jungle was interesting to play back in the day as it was very hostile, but nothing to see here tbh. In Legion I didn't really like locations. Highmountain is really cool and has some grizzly hills vibe to it. West part of Valshara has some very cool grim and eerie tone to it. Azsuna just meh. Stormheim is NOT howling fjord 2.0. I just didn't felt that, not a fan of that zone. Suramar gorgeous, worth spending time there questing. But it mostly filled with enemies and I think it's wasted potential, like Shattrath. Broken shore - forget, it's trash. Argus - just most amazing sky since Outland. Mac'aree is beautiful and interesting. Other zones... almost generic demonic wastelands, a bit disappointing. All BFA locations are gorgeous, simply amazing, period. They may not be entirely unique, but they are just... wow. And questing there is nice. Norwington Estate gave me some Argent Tournament feeling. But it's just my opinion. Sadly didn't get to play Shafowlands yet.

[@draconite1513]

Hey folks! Got recently interested in starting WoW, and there apparently seems to be a debate between WoW Retail and WoW Classic... Have to admit I do not quite get the difference between these two... Is the game Everness features WoW Retail?

[@naer3513]

WoW Classic is basicly the very first expansion that WoW launched. What is expansion? Look at it as a BOOK, every 2 years new additional book comes out. Expansion have its story, enemies, main villian (Boss), zones and last for 2 years until next expansion is released. When game progress to the next expansion you still get to play and expirience the previous expansion as it was but most of the time you will spend playing the current NEW expansion where the game is taking place, with new STRONGER enemies, new features, new villian, new story that upgrades on the previous. When another 2 years pass you get 3rd expansion and 4th and so on. Now Classic WoW is the very first expansion of WoW which was released back in 2004-2006 it is released once again for the purpose of oldschool players and nostalgia with the very same content. With that being said keep in mind that game was released in 2004 and graphics and animations are DULL and OLD. Now Retail WoW the current WoW is the point where story progressed over the years so 17 years that is 8 expansions in total. Now you will go mostly through all expansions on your journey to reach the endgame where the game is curently taking place. Keep in mind that over the years game has evolved in some aspects such as graphics, animation and its much more DYNAMIC than Classic WoW but also devolved in STORY. Classic WoW is slow, hard and frustrating at times but it catches the true essence of WoW which was lost over the years and that is ATMOSPHERE, getting to know community, cooperation and friendliness are IMPORTANT. Many players will tell you myself included that Classic WoW outshines the current Retail WoW. Hope this help!

[@naer3513]

- Classic WoW (Vanilla WoW) 2004-2006 1. The Burning Crusade (TBC) 2006-2008 2. Wrath of the Lich King (WOTLK) 2008-2010 3. Cataclysm (CATA) 2010-2012 4. Mist of Pandaria (MOP) 2012-2014 5. Warlords of Dreanor (WOD) 2014-2016 6. Legion 2016-2018 7. Battle for Azeroth (BFA) 2018-2020 8. Shadowlands 2020 -------------------- Retail WoW 2004-2021 includes all 8 expansions mentioned above even Classic (Vanilla) WoW. - Better graphics and animations, more features, more dynamic than Classic WoW. Classic WoW (Vanilla WoW) 2004-2006. Start from begining, better story, better atmosphere, better community.
