> [@Snowboarder\_Bo](#): > > I know the expansion doesn’t go live for another 5 weeks or so, but since Patch 7.0.3 went live today and it actually implements a ton of changes for Legion, I figured it was good enough reason to start this thread now. As you did with WoD. I find the consistency absurdly comforting. :o > [@](#): > > I just read thru the patch notes and I’m not happy about the changes to PvP. I hope that when I play the game it’ll be fine, but right now it seems like we all got **Harrison Bergeron** ’d. I had to google that. I guess I haven’t read enough Vonnegut. > [@Wikipedia](#): > > In the year 2081, amendments to the Constitution dictate that all Americans are fully equal and not allowed to be smarter, better-looking, or more physically able than anyone else. The Handicapper General’s agents enforce the equality laws, forcing citizens to wear “handicaps”: masks for those who are too beautiful, radios inside the ears of intelligent people, and heavy weights for the strong or athletic. As I mentioned in my comments on the WoD thread, PvP is only interesting to me from an intellectual perspective. Game design theory, basically. If I get ganked, I don’t usually bother to even fight back, and if I camped, I log out and play an alt. Es machs nichts to me, but I can see how the changes might be concerning to actual PvPers. > [@](#): > > I think the new xmog system sounds good; I hope it is. Will I be able to clear out my completely-full void storage? Will I be able to force myself to clear out my void storage, even if the new transmog system would let me? 😃 > [@](#): > > As for class changes, there are a lot but at least for my main, an Arcane Mage, they seem mostly cosmetic and helpful (the conjuring food or table distinction, for example). I hope in the end it feels as if things are easier and not like I got bergeron’d. I have an arcane mage alt and just about the only thing I could hope for is solo survivability. It sucked at the beginning of WoD to lose the only in-combat self healing available, given the lack of mobility or damage mitigation. > [@](#): > > Mostly tho I can’t wait for new areas to explore and to try out the new Demon Hunter class. > > What do y’all think? The new areas look interesting. So does the new lore, although I will probably wind up doing a lot of eyerolling at the awkward retcons they’ll probably choose to do. (Yeah, actually, lore matters to me. I’ve been gaming in this franchise since Warcraft: Orcs and Humans, and I like my stories to be internally consistent.) And demon hunters have no great attraction for me. I just hope they haven’t broken MM hunter too badly. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/world-of-warcraft-legion-general-discussion-thread-19-july-2016/760337)._
