Nachdem die Entwickler von Retail WoW zu Beginn der Woche bereits einen ersten Teaser zu dem kommenden Legion Remix Event mit ihren Fans geteilt hatten, folgte gestern Abend nun auch noch eine komplette WoWCast Episode zu diesem Thema. In diesem Video spricht das Entwicklerteam recht ausführlich über seine Pläne für Legion Remix und auf welche Weise sich dieses Event sowohl von Legion als auch von MoP Remix unterscheiden wird. Im Grunde erlaubt das Ganze es Spielern aber die Erfahrung von Legion auf eine beschleunigte und angepasste Weise erneut zu erleben.

Wer keine Lust hat den WoWCast anzusehen oder den umfangreichen Vorschaubeitrag der Entwickler durchzulesen, der findet folgend eine Zusammenfassung der wichtigsten Informationen:

• Legion Remix ist ein Teil von Patch 11.2.5
• Spieler erhalten Zugriff auf alle Instanzen, Fraktionen, Quests, Events und Mechaniken von Legion.
• Wöchentliche Limits aus Legion werden alle beschleunigt.
• Die Raids etc. sollen in Phasen erscheinen. Eine neue Phase startet ca. alle zwei Wochen.
• Alle Artefaktwaffen erhalten neue Talentbäume.
• Es gibt ein „Heroic World Tier“. Dadurch wird die Spielwelt schwerer und die Belohnungen werden besser.
• In der Spielwelt vorhandene „Timewarped Obelisks“ gewähren mächtige Buffs.
• M+ Dungeons aus Legion sind verfügbar. Einige der Affixe werden überarbeitet.
• Infinite Research: Eine neue tägliche Quest, die Spielern die verschiedensten Aufgaben liefert.
• Die Klassenmounts erhalten alle mindestens eine „Teufelsmagie-Variante“.
• Viele kosmetische Belohnungen aus den Spieldaten werden endlich verfügbar.
• Spieler können neue Titel erlangen.
• Legion Remix erlaubt es Spieler leichter an seltene Transmogs aus Legion zu kommen.
• Bronze fungiert erneut als Währung für Gegenstände.
• Jeder Spieler erhält mit 11.2.5 insgesamt 5 neue Charakterplätze.
• In Legion Remix erstellte Helden können jederzeit zu Retail transferiert werden.

Das Ganze klingt für mich so, als hätten die Entwickler viele der Schwächen von MoP Remix erkannt und sie für Legion Remix ausgeglichen. Zusätzlich dazu gibt es neue Inhalte, neue Belohnungen und die Chance darauf, in Retail nur schwer erhältliche Transmog-Items zu erbeuten. Legion Remix könnte ein durchaus interessantes Event werden, in welches ich auf jeden Fall etwas Zeit investieren möchte.

Watch the Latest WoWCast to Learn about Legion Remix

What is Legion Remix?

Legion Remix is a time-limited seasonal event where players can create a Timerunner as one of the original 12 Legion classes and replay the entire Legion expansion at an accelerated pace from level 10-80 with some major gameplay twists. Players will collect power, face epic challenges, and earn a mountain of cosmetics such as pets, mounts, and transmog gear.

It’s All Inside

Players can take part in all twelve dungeons, one mega-dungeon, five raids, all the Legion Campaign quests, local stories, World Quests,  Class Order Hall campaigns and Artifact questlines, Legion Assaults, Invasion Points, Withered Training, and more!

The infinite dragonflight will be accelerating all weekly lockouts, reputation gains, and Class Order Hall missions, so get in and have fun!

Our Remix Story So Far

In Remix: Mists of Pandaria, Eternus from the infinite dragonflight was trying to learn more about the past. Now with the Worldsoul Saga™ heating up, she’s looking into some of the events that have led up to what’s happening now to try to understand more of what really saved Azeroth from the Legion.

What’s New in Legion Remix?

We’ve added some new gameplay systems with an eye toward capturing the spirit of the original Legion experience. Our goal is to create opportunities for challenge and strategy that players will eventually dominate with epic power.

Remixed Artifact Weapons

Instead of the cloak and gem systems from Remix: Mists of Pandaria, we’re going all-in on Artifacts. Every Artifact weapon shares a powerful trait tree, and you’ll choose a path to go along—Nature, Fel, Arcane, Storm, or Holy.

You won’t be locked in and can respec anytime, now made easier with our new Quick Assign feature—you can Ctrl-click to spend up to your remaining Infinite Power purchasing toward your selected point, or Ctrl-right click to refund back to the selected point.

You’ll also find jewelry along the way that lets you add Ranks to traits from any path, taking Ranks from other paths or boosting your chosen path beyond its natural limits! Mix and match to customize your Artifact weapon.

Heroic World Tier

Inspired by Diablo, Heroic World Tier is a new way to play outdoor content. Eternus is experimenting to prepare the champions of Azeroth for what could happen if things get worse. She’s empowering creatures to have more health, more damage, and sometimes Affix-like buffs, empowering their difficulty and rewards. While you’ll encounter tougher foes, if you can overcome them, you will reap the rewards in the end.

Timewarped Obelisks

Power up with Timewarped Obelisks found throughout Legion Remix. These grant temporary but powerful buffs to players as they explore the world.

Timeworn Keystone Dungeons

For players who love Mythic+, we’ve remixed things a bit more to create Timeworn Keystone Dungeons. We’re bringing back most of the Affixes from the original launch of Legion and adding four new Affixes specific to Legion Remix called Eternus’s Trials.

Infinite Research

Each day, players can choose new research assignments to undertake, such as killing demons, running a dungeon, collecting bronze orbs while Skyriding, and more. With over 100 quests available and the ability to unlock access to take on multiple at once, you’ll have plenty of options.

You won’t need to check in every day and can bank up to six days of quests that you can do when you’re ready to take them on. So whether you are taking part in Legion Remix daily, or only have time on the weekends, you’ll be ready to go.

More and More (and More) Loot!

It wouldn’t be a Remix event without lots and lots of loot to collect.

New rewards include:

• Fel-infused class mounts
• Elegant, elven, Azshara-inspired robe transmogs
• Mannoroth’s shield transmog
• Varian’s Fel-corrupted swords

We’ll also have plenty of never-before-released mounts, transmog sets, and more.

Legacy rewards include rare raid transmogs such as Xavius’s shoulders and Scythe of the Unmaker (in original, red, and a new Fel green). Other legacy rewards include rare mounts like Llothien Prowler, Shackled Ur’zul, and the Violet Spellwing. Players can also gain new titles such as “Chronoscholar,” “the Infernal,” and “of the Infinite Chaos.”

The Cost of Loot

Bronze is making its return as a currency players can use to purchase cosmetic items only. Instead of upgrading your gear with Bronze, upgrades will drop from all content. Harder content will provide a higher drop chance for upgrades.

More Character Slots and Early Character Conversion

We’re also adding five new character slots to all World of Warcraft accounts so you can make even more characters. You also don’t have to wait for the end of Legion Remix to move your characters over to play with them in The War Within.

Transferring your character will remove all Remix-specific items and abilities, clear your quest log, and grant you level-appropriate gear and gold. Any legacy items you collected, including any unopened cosmetics, will be mailed to you.

This is a one-way trip, so make sure you choose wisely before transferring timelines.

Legion Remix: Phase by Phase

We’re taking inspiration from World of Warcraft Classic’s phased releases and will be adding new phases of Legion content to Legion Remix every two weeks. We’ll start things off with the original launch content from Legion and end with Argus and Antorus. Each phase will bring new content and a bump to the maximum item level players can reach.

We want to make sure we set a great pace for players to soak in the story, enjoy the content, and not feel rushed right out of the gate. Each release of content should bring about the nostalgia from Legion so we’re making sure to add some special touches to each one. As an example, in Argus we’ll have a mini game where you transform into a wyrmtongue demon and run around collecting bronze orbs. With each orb you collect, you’ll gain additional speed—until the time runs out, at least.

The release of content will still be fast paced; if you’re looking to go on a Legion Remix spree and decide to wait for all the content to be available before you dive in, you’ll have plenty of time before the end of the event.

Here’s an overview of the phases you can expect to experience:

• Skies of Fire: Take to the skies of the Broken Isles with the original Legion content and the Emerald Nightmare raid.
• Rise of the Nightfallen: Continue the Nightfallen’s story with the Insurrection campaign and new World Quests across the Broken Isles. Re-experience the Legion mega-dungeon with the Return to Karazhan, and take on the Nighthold and Trial of Valor raids.
• Legionfall: Establish a foothold on the Broken Shore, take on Legion Assaults, and fight your way into the Cathedral of Eternal Night and the Tomb of Sargeras.
• Argus Eternal: Replay the Argus campaign across three deadly zones. Take on the Seat of the Triumvirate and Antorus, the Burning Throne.
• Infinite Echoes: As the Legion Remix timeline begins collapsing, say your goodbyes and embrace the chaos.
