If they are making WoW 2 or another Cata like thing, they should redesign and upgrade major cities to modern standard, close to Surumar if possible. Silvermoon is actually quite large but due to the dead scar divide place, it doesn't feel that way. Of the current major cities that match up to Surumar, only Ironforge is comparable to something like Surumar. The ones that need major redesign is Orgrimmar, it felt too big and too small at the same time. Too small because the banks, AH and now they even move the portals to the same area, as well as the Warchief seat in Grommash Hall to the middle. The professions areas and transmorg are right around the corner, which is good, but also means you barely see the rest of the city. Then, it's too large when the path to Azshara is too long and worst of all, uninteresting to look at while going in and out as a new player questing in Azshara. There's also the Cleft of Shadows and the area above it. Various revise of Orgrimmar have made it more convoluted, confusing rather than impressive. Orgrimmar lacked the orderly nature of Stormwind, but also lack interesting niche like the rest of Horde major city. It's a place behind time, and need a shot in the arm.
Suramar is the best Zone ever made. Change my mind. > Largest City in the game > Ridiculously lively > Many many World Quests to do > Wonderful music > Withered Training (as an inspiration for the Chromie scenario and Visions of N'zoth) > Visual diversity with a fishing village and a fel corrupted Zone, as well as ruins and a forest > One of the longest quest chains in the game > Actual characters > Nighthold, one of the best Raids ever if you ask me > A teleportation network that rewards exploration on your first time playing through the zone > Boats that move around and can be stood on ... This zone just had it all.
It really did. I think Blizz recognized that during its zone design, and therefore, poured a lot of effort into it + made it an endgame zone so that you spent a lot of time there. It's a perfect example of an incredible dream world coming to life in a video game. Both the city and the zone surprise me every time I enter it.
I keep doing world quests here frequently with my main character although I already have every possible reward available from the Nightborne. Love the ambience, how lively the city is and the aesthetics... it's gorgeous. If only they updated Silvermoon to look like that...
My favorite thing to do is use a ground mount while in the city, or walk. And have my camera angle be exactly level with the ground so I can see the splendor of the most beautiful city in the game. Flying in the city never does it for me like being on the ground, and I am a supporter of us being able to fly in game.
I had so much fun in Legion. It was the best WoW had been since the good ol' days. A different game from back then, sure, but _good_ different. BFA basically took everything Legion had going for it and smeared shit on it.
Totally. I simply loved the quests in Suramar. The background was solid, you felt the progression after each quest. Even the daily quest meant something (it was a rebellion after all, so every resource was important). Man, I just can't stop talking about how wonderful was Suramar back in the days of Legion. I'm doing all the quest for "Good Suramaritan" and "Insurrection" archievements again. Now, on BfA... Well... You have no progression!! Who's the enemy?? Horde?? Azshara?? N'zoth?? The 'look at me, I'm morally ambiguous' Banshee Queen?? All of the story feels... dumb.
It's almost a testament to how good Legion was that I was praising it while it was current content (with the exception of Tomb of Sargeras, that raid can go fuck itself). Usually the nostalgia doesn't start for a couple years after an expansion passes, but during Legion I missed it while we were in the BfA prepatch.
@@greyleaf Allied races were a cool addition, but they should have just made them full races. They get so few customization options for most races and some of the options you do get for each race really suck (void elf male hair is abysmally bad with few exceptions; and almost all of their faces look like crack addicts even for Blood Elves turned Void). But I do really miss Legion. I had a few complaints, like locking skins behind difficult mage tower boss battles and then removing them post-Legion and how it wasn't very alt-friendly, but most of my thoughts on Legion are quite positive. It's my favorite expansion since MoP thanks to its fantastic questing experience. They stripped away unique class raid sets in BfA and all we got for it was a single armor set per armor type with a few extra frills depending on difficulty. NOT a good trade-off in the slightest. You could tell they wanted to get lazy after Legion and cut corners wherever they could.
@@vee025 Yes fair point. I wish there was more cities like that for players going forward. I can also see the technical concerns as well with your CPU and GPU rendering that WITH players all over the place etc but still. That kind of a scale for player hubs would be amazing!
Legion was hands down the best expansion since Wrath of the Lich King and its genuinely upsetting that the next two didn’t even come close to being as good
Legion honestly tops my list as the best wow expansion. With Wrath and MoP close behind. Its astonishing to me that the expansions that followed have been as bad as they are after Blizzard nailed it so utterely with Legion, their need to re-invent the wheel over and over instead of building on the systems and design choices they made in Legion are bizzare and really quite sad.
Cant believe people still think wotlk was a good expansion. I think they didnt even played it lol wow started to be good with cataclysm every expansion before was shit. Mop was ok wod was dogshit just like bc lol. And Legion was the best.
@@newtybot yea but i understand for you and many wotlk,bc vanilla is best bc you got alle the firs time experiences there, all the zones and secrets to explore everyone was a noob and didnt know how but with the world and with the newer expansions, cata, mop and so it was just repetetive nothing new anymore but as a game system it started to be good with cata. Have fun spaming pit of saron in wotlk classic
Throughout Legion, I saw so many people complaining about the long questline and sheer number of mobs, but I ended up running 4 separate toons through Suramar. Such a beautiful city, truly the epitome of elven beauty.
Matt Kingsbury Indeed. Suramar was pain in the ass, but it was memorable. I really miss doing all those quests in elite mob area, before flying.. Good times
I have to admit, I recently unlocked the Nightborne 'as fast as possible' because I really wasn't in the mood for a long quest-line but now that I did it, I would want to do it again, take my time and enjoy it
I remember being in Suramar, forgot which patch, and it was clean and free of fel demons and stuff. Next day/patch it was full of them and ruined some nice areas... wish they could revert that.
it's funny... I complained the whole time I did the long suramar questline you needed to complete to get flying....but I hear this music and realize that suramar was probably one of the best, well thought out, completely developed zones, with one of the most epic questlines wow has produced in the better part of a decade.... I miss Legion.... a lot :'(
Balloon dude: What is the traditional greeting used in Suramar city? balloon mate 1: zug zug! balloon mate 2: Anu'belore dela'nah? Balloon dude: Good guess! The correct answer is "An illusion! What are you hiding?"
one of my favourite zones of all time.. I was kinda hoping they would clean it up nice and could be used as a city hub in the next expansion. would love to make it my home!
Yeah, it's so nice, that would be awesome. They do have the starting zone for Nightborne cleared out, but it's only so big. I think the issue is they don't like to make too many major cities, hence why only Stormwind & Org have transmog, etc. They like to condense players to a city so it feels more like a city packed by players than just npc's. However, I'd take Suramar any day over any other city.
Runas (41:37): This hunger is consuming my very mind. It is taking every ounce of my energy to just… just… Can you hear me, my friend? I… I can not see you anymore. I think… perhaps it is time to say goodbye, then. Thank you, my friend, for letting my last few hours mean something.
I miss this era so much. WoW never looked better than in Legion, every region was filled to the brim with detail. The lore was amazing and immersive, the gameplay was questionable at the start but the improvements came in fast. There was so much to do and see back then, Shadowlands and BFA could never compare! I really miss our class halls as well, it was fun feeling this connection to your class and learn the history from it. Imo, Legion was WoW's peak.
It's no coincidence that Dalaran was also the main city of Legion! (And if the rumors are true, also the main city in the upcoming 'Dragonflight' expansion)
Suramar was the first zone (and I've been playing since Vanilla) that I've ever 110% completed to the maximum because it was so damn good. So god damn good. I love smoking weed and walking around Suramar for a good few hours. What an experience.
I swear, the first time I walked into Shal'Aran and the music at 6:24 kicked on. It all hit me like a truck with so much melancholy. It felt like this is the end of the world (of Warcraft.) With the legion trying to destroy Azeroth and the fear that this could be the last chance after WoD for Blizzard to make something truly epic and amazing. Boy did they. I live for those types of feelings when discovering a place like that in WoW for the very first time. Although BFA may not be everyone's favorite right now because of how the release went, I have faith that they can still do some amazing stuff with it very soon.
Suramar City is incredibly beautiful and magnificent. Memories of the good old days. The music and ambience of Suramar is some of the best there is wow. Sometimes I fly to Suramar and just sit there, enjoying the music and the beautiful colors of your beautiful city. Legion was the best wow expansion.
Suramar was, is and always will be the most beautiful zone in WoW. This incredible city! Here you can see the power of the elves, their magic, their eye for aesthetics, their noble and luxurious claims. Absolutely the most wonderful thing Blizzard has ever created. And this incredibly magical and fantastic music. Ohhh why can't I live in Suramar?!?!
The first time I went to Suramar, it was beautiful. The ambience, the music, the mistery in the city. For the first time, I felt I was there, not my character, but me. Damn, I miss Legion so much
Surmar was the reason I came to play WoW, I saw it and had to go there, I subbed and made a account, I fell in love with the game the more I played it, the more I learnt, I fell in love with the lore, the locations, the rewards and mounts were only the icing on the cake,, And just the feeling of finally reaching Surmar will always be one of my fondest memories. I can’t play WoW anymore as my laptop and it’s graphics card wasn’t designed to handle it but the time I did get to spend there will forever be with me, I met my boyfriend on there too,,, one day when I can afford another laptop I’ll be coming right back home,,
I'm late but even a cheap hp laptop will do the trick! Suramar was so damn beautiful to me. I wish I could go back and do it all again. Even with the rep grind.
It's funny because I met my girlfriend in Legion. I always think about the old times when being in Legion zones, especially in Suramar. It was such a good time. I will never forget it. We're together for 4 years now (almost 5), unfortunately I lost fun playing the game, but my girlfriend is still enjoying the game like on the first day. It always brings a smile on my face when I see her enjoying it next to me.
I was a sin'dorei fan boi but as soon as I finished Suramar quest-line I immediately created two Shal'dorei character. Putting on a nice robe and watching my character sitting in suramar is pure joy
Here we are. Five years later. WoW is nothing like it once was anymore. The soul of the game is gone... what I wouldn't give to be back in the days of Legion.
Suramar was one of the best experiences ever in this game. Loved every single second of it. Even when I got destroyed by "AN ILLUSION?! WHAT ARE YOU HIDING!?". I could easily waste so much time just staring at the city and listening to the music. Hope they allow us to acess the city without the agressive NPCs on day. (maybe make it like a time-choice kinda deal, where u can either use the city as a pub or as the classic questing zone
but silvermoon was created years ago... more like a decade ago when player's machines weren't as good ... i mean look at the SIZE of suramar city... it's huge!! :O
Yavor Kirov Silvermoon is actually pretty big as well. I do think they should give it a revamp into a world quest zone next expansion. It’s one of the only zones not touched by Cataclysm, thus stuck in the past. Same with the Exodar.
Totally agree. Though I know it was created a decade ago, but still wish to see someday it can be refreshed to match the glory of the Sin'dorei and I would just sit in eversong woods all day long
I returned to WoW right before the opening of ToS and I have to say Legion was a fun expansion: running mythic+ with a strong lineup of dungeons, progressing through Tomb of Soakgeras and having an absolute blast playing my DH alt... yep, I miss summer of 2017!
I fell in love with this zone as soon as I set foot on it. The quests look nothing like your typical WoW leveling quests. They remind me a lot of the Elder Scrolls games. Also the Nightborne are cool! Now I understand why people say Legion was good...
Dude same. Totally took Legion for granted at the time. I’ve been spending all my time recently revisiting to pick up achievements I haven’t earned yet.
I would pay a lot to play in Suramar again. The raid the dungeons the city the rebels the ley lines the undergrounds the music omg. It hurts to see that zone just sitting there
God this music is so ethereal and magical... just like Suramar itself. I miss it (and Legion) so much. Here's hoping that Blizzard captures the magic again with Dragonflight (or whatever it's going to be called).
Legion for a lot of people was when WoW officially died. BFA had its decent moments and a cool story, Shadowlands was meh, but Legion was great throughout the entire expansion. I am looking forward to Dragonflight though, I really miss playing WoW.
One of the most amazing zones and cities ever made in WoW. Was happy to have played during Legion and explore this as it came along through the patches.
I started playing at the start of WotLK and thought there would never be a better expansion. Until Legion came... The music is what keeps me going back to WoW for sure! This is very nostalgic 💙
@Kate It's good. They removed alot of the shit from the game that made Bfa terrible and i'm actually having a good time playing the game now that i'm not forced to grind Azerite power everyday. Also no titanforging/corruption is a huge + for me since corruption made me quit Bfa, i hated that shit, i actually feel excited now when i get a new piece of gear, it's weird.
Legion had some issues with the early days of the expac, but once those got resolved I had the most epic time ever in WoW. Awesome leveling zones, raids, m+ being new and refreshing, tier sets still being a thing, Suramar (
It's funny how I played through this zone two times already and just yesterday realized a big part of why I loved it was this music. I was so busy running around and admiring the beauty of everything. And yesterday I just stopped for a moment and listened. It was instantly clear to me why this zone feels so relaxing to me :D And I'm a little torn between mourning that I couldn't experience this as live content with all its difficulty and being glad I'm able to fly :D
The most beautiful zone with amazing music, it was at the very top of my list of what I wanted to hear! Thank you Everness, you made my day with another amazing video!
when going to Court of Stars I always stop at kids at bazaar as they say "ring around the city, hearts are full of pity, crashing clashing, outside lies doom"
Suramar is bittersweet. It's where I got the closest to my my best friend before losing him to petty selfishness and alcoholism in 2019. There are things I can't change, and things I can change now.
I skipped from mid-Cata to just before Shadowlands. My main leveled through the beginnings of MOP, WOD, and Legion, and I loved Legion so much I did Chromie Time Legion for all of my other toons (about 15). I never went back to finish Cata, MOP, WOD, or BFA, and when I got bored with Shadowlands I returned to Legion to finish every possible achievement and farm mounts. I don't know that I like the class hall specifically, but I loved the class storylines - that made it fresh on every toon. Suramar for me was the icing on the cake, a beautiful city with a lot of secrets.
I never played Legion, but I often listen to its magical music and it makes me nostalgic for something I have not experienced. That is the power of this majestic and evocative music.
This zone is the best and it is best explored when there is no flying allowed yet in the Legion. You can enter a lot of buildings in the city and search treasure and the mana thing. The only thing I hate doing world quests in the city is I keep getting dazed by the guards hahaha. Otherwise, beautiful music and ambience.
Legion was an expansion with so much character. I wish I had enjoyed it more.... Suramar is one of the most extroadinary city's ever made. I always wished I had spent more time there.
If you didn't experience this zone fully without flying then you missed out. That city is insane, genuine next level, and flying literally takes it all away. (talking about people doing it first time)
Legion is still my favorite expansion and Suramar is still my favorite zone. Wish they would turn Suramar City into an official Horde capital, especially after what happened to Lor'danel in BFA. Nightborne are the best race. Glad they were made playable.
First time listening to this. I haven't played WoW in a long time but I've always kept an eye on whats going on. It's really saddening to see the game decay, but there is no doubt that it only lasted this long because of its artists.
The emotional attachement I have to this fictional city is almost... unhealthy. Oh, Suramar... what have you done to me during those six months in that little room :-'D
I hope this game never dies honestly and statistically the best game ive ever played. Only annoyed that I didn't get into this game sooner, feels like every other video game is a waste of my time, hope I didn't get into this game too late :) I may be new but ive been looking for this for months, this was my first zone lvling threw only played threw the end of BFA (wanted to play an arcane mage nightborne as my first and main character but had to go back and do legion to unlock the nightborne, loved every second of it) and super excited for shadowlands, but this was really my first experience with this game and even though it was only about 5 months ago as of now, it stuck with me and cant wait for more awesome story and zones. truly captivating game! :O don't even get me started on how great the end game is too LOL
Suramar was what a modern WoW zone should be measured up to. It wasn't too dense, wasn't too big. It was full of activities, but also empty space for a slower experience. Riding the Gondolas was one of the kind of thing that should show up more often in modern WoW. It's small, nonsensical, meaningless but it is what made the world, the world. The little details are what immersed the player. While I do think the quest line is a bit much on all of the characters, the first time experience was just immensely enjoyable. The recent covenant questline and war campaign of BfA just doesn't have the little nonsense like the mana crystal, wicked training and the variety of world quest. Should also mention the hook and the portal. In my mind, Legion was a massive waste. It's one of the best expansion for years now, but I felt Blizzard was in a rush to finish up the Burning Legion. To me, that's disappointing. The zones were unique and fun, I would love to have Nighthold as mid tier and Tomb as end tier. We ended up spending time on not so inspiring Broken Shore and Argus. I imagine a small extra raid either in Highmountain or Azsuna to supplement Nighthold, just as Trial of Valor was. In which case, we get to spend more time and Blizzard can add more activities to the zones, instead of shoving us onto an entirely separate new zone. I know that they don't do that to not interfere with the levelling, but being pulled away from the good stuffs and doused in green is quite unpleasant. I would be fine not killing Sargeras, or Kil'jaeden, or Argus. Having Kil'jaedan being imprisoned at the end of Legion would have been satisfying enough. In my mind, Legion exhausted Blizzard creative juice. The following expansion and the current one is just uninspiring. Nothing makes me want to wake up early before work and do some chore in game.
suramar is the only city in WoW that actually felt like a city to me
Agreed.

Yeah, It goes Boralus > Suramar for personal preference in aesthetics, but Suramar is stunning and very well done.
In 2020 I still go back to Suramar City sometimes, and I often stumble across a part which I never knew existed. No other zone in WoW has that for me

It's sad too that they could have done this with phasing.....
at least theres parts of suramar city that are completely empty of mobs, so atleast people could rp there if they wish

It's no coincidence that Dalaran was also the main city of Legion!
(And if the rumors are true, also the main city in the upcoming 'Dragonflight' expansion)
@@lorencproductions That city was kinda confusing with the two time lines until you figured it out
Tbh hated Dalaran, I thought I would like wotlk as much as my friends, I couldn't stand it.
@@imtoogoodatpvp1252 what do you mean, its cool to have 10 fps :)
i already miss legion....
krysta same, I’m already getting nostalgic for the first half of legion
Same here.
I'm with you there. I loved Suramar. One of the best pieces of content they ever created.
me too :'( suramar one of my favorit map
krysta Me too. I miss running around suramar flying and dashing as a demon hunter in suramar to get rep.
Roses are red
Suramar is shining
An illusion?
What are you hiding?
I love this. Thank you for blessing me with this illu-...Lovely poem.
Best thing I've read all day. Thank you for the chuckle
I know, right? Like... something's not quite right...
Suramar was the first zone (and I've been playing since Vanilla) that I've ever 110% completed to the maximum because it was so damn good. So god damn good.
I love smoking weed and walking around Suramar for a good few hours. What an experience.
Sometimes I fly to Suramar and just sit there, enjoying the music and beautiful colours. Remembering the good old days
I swear, the first time I walked into Shal'Aran and the music at 6:24 kicked on. It all hit me like a truck with so much melancholy. It felt like this is the end of the world (of Warcraft.) With the legion trying to destroy Azeroth and the fear that this could be the last chance after WoD for Blizzard to make something truly epic and amazing.
Boy did they.
I live for those types of feelings when discovering a place like that in WoW for the very first time. Although BFA may not be everyone's favorite right now because of how the release went, I have faith that they can still do some amazing stuff with it very soon.
Very well said.
probably doesn't ring any bells to anyone, but that track is giving me major "End of Time" vibes from DOS1
Morgan Freeman narration voice: They did not do amazing things with BfA.
It has a majora's mask vibe to it I think at the begining, felt the same melancholy from that game
Suramar City is incredibly beautiful and magnificent. Memories of the good old days. The music and ambience of Suramar is some of the best there is wow. Sometimes I fly to Suramar and just sit there, enjoying the music and the beautiful colors of your beautiful city. Legion was the best wow expansion.
Suramar was, is and always will be the most beautiful zone in WoW. This incredible city! Here you can see the power of the elves, their magic, their eye for aesthetics, their noble and luxurious claims. Absolutely the most wonderful thing Blizzard has ever created. And this incredibly magical and fantastic music. Ohhh why can't I live in Suramar?!?!
it has been 7 years and suramar is still the best city in the game🙂
I just love how the blood elves and nightborne bonded by the way their people's history mirrors each other
Agree, it is perfect storytelling
The first time I went to Suramar, it was beautiful. The ambience, the music, the mistery in the city.
For the first time, I felt I was there, not my character, but me.
Damn, I miss Legion so much
Beautiful! The music from 13:05 is probably my favorite in the whole game.
Amazing right?
After all these years, Legion feels like WoW's swan song.
Cause it was. Bfa and shadowlands were still warcrafty but the rot just keeps accelerating
Surmar was the reason I came to play WoW, I saw it and had to go there, I subbed and made a account, I fell in love with the game the more I played it, the more I learnt, I fell in love with the lore, the locations, the rewards and mounts were only the icing on the cake,, And just the feeling of finally reaching Surmar will always be one of my fondest memories. I can’t play WoW anymore as my laptop and it’s graphics card wasn’t designed to handle it but the time I did get to spend there will forever be with me, I met my boyfriend on there too,,, one day when I can afford another laptop I’ll be coming right back home,,
I'm late but even a cheap hp laptop will do the trick!
Suramar was so damn beautiful to me. I wish I could go back and do it all again. Even with the rep grind.
It's funny because I met my girlfriend in Legion. I always think about the old times when being in Legion zones, especially in Suramar. It was such a good time. I will never forget it. We're together for 4 years now (almost 5), unfortunately I lost fun playing the game, but my girlfriend is still enjoying the game like on the first day. It always brings a smile on my face when I see her enjoying it next to me.
I was a sin'dorei fan boi but as soon as I finished Suramar quest-line I immediately created two Shal'dorei character. Putting on a nice robe and watching my character sitting in suramar is pure joy
Here we are. Five years later. WoW is nothing like it once was anymore. The soul of the game is gone... what I wouldn't give to be back in the days of Legion.
Suramar was one of the best experiences ever in this game. Loved every single second of it. Even when I got destroyed by "AN ILLUSION?! WHAT ARE YOU HIDING!?". I could easily waste so much time just staring at the city and listening to the music. Hope they allow us to acess the city without the agressive NPCs on day. (maybe make it like a time-choice kinda deal, where u can either use the city as a pub or as the classic questing zone
Silvermoon should look more like this city... but with more sunlight of course.
but silvermoon was created years ago... more like a decade ago when player's machines weren't as good ... i mean look at the SIZE of suramar city... it's huge!! :O
Suramar is like what if there was one kind of elf and was amix of nelf and belf BOom
Yavor Kirov Silvermoon is actually pretty big as well. I do think they should give it a revamp into a world quest zone next expansion. It’s one of the only zones not touched by Cataclysm, thus stuck in the past. Same with the Exodar.
Totally agree. Though I know it was created a decade ago, but still wish to see someday it can be refreshed to match the glory of the Sin'dorei and I would just sit in eversong woods all day long
I would thoroughly enjoy it if Blizzard would finally update Quel'thalas and Silvermoon.
Anyone else miss Legion? it was definitely one of the greater recent expansions.
The pinnacle of art direction for the wow team was legion. Suramar is quite the accomplishment
I returned to WoW right before the opening of ToS and I have to say Legion was a fun expansion: running mythic+ with a strong lineup of dungeons, progressing through Tomb of Soakgeras and having an absolute blast playing my DH alt... yep, I miss summer of 2017!
Legion was my all time favorite expansion
I fell in love with this zone as soon as I set foot on it. The quests look nothing like your typical WoW leveling quests. They remind me a lot of the Elder Scrolls games. Also the Nightborne are cool!
Now I understand why people say Legion was good...
This was one stressful zone, thank goodness it had great music
Jess Its all awesome ! But i have lil flashbacks of ancient mana sometimes :)
Had to play BFA to realize how awesome was Legion.
Dude same. Totally took Legion for granted at the time. I’ve been spending all my time recently revisiting to pick up achievements I haven’t earned yet.
I would unironically pay for a legion classic server, I loved legion but missed half the content and only got into raiding in the later half
Both BFA and Legion were awesome.
I would pay a lot to play in Suramar again. The raid the dungeons the city the rebels the ley lines the undergrounds the music omg. It hurts to see that zone just sitting there
God this music is so ethereal and magical... just like Suramar itself. I miss it (and Legion) so much.
Here's hoping that Blizzard captures the magic again with Dragonflight (or whatever it's going to be called).
Legion for a lot of people was when WoW officially died. BFA had its decent moments and a cool story, Shadowlands was meh, but Legion was great throughout the entire expansion. I am looking forward to Dragonflight though, I really miss playing WoW.
If there is an afterlife, I hope mine looks like Suramar.
Shadowlands
Yes but before the corruption
One of the most amazing zones and cities ever made in WoW. Was happy to have played during Legion and explore this as it came along through the patches.
best zone since Grizzly Hills
I started playing at the start of WotLK and thought there would never be a better expansion. Until Legion came... The music is what keeps me going back to WoW for sure!
This is very nostalgic 💙
Legion sure was amazing, my favourite expansion. I wish i could say the same about Bfa... Hopefully Shadowlands is good.
@Kate It's good. They removed alot of the shit from the game that made Bfa terrible and i'm actually having a good time playing the game now that i'm not forced to grind Azerite power everyday. Also no titanforging/corruption is a huge + for me since corruption made me quit Bfa, i hated that shit, i actually feel excited now when i get a new piece of gear, it's weird.
legion was the most i played wow since wrath, i loved all the zones and especially suramar.
Me too, bro, me too. Wrath 💙 and Legion 💚
"An illusion, what are you hiding?"
@@theinfiniteawe the best! (after classic tho, that will always be my fav ;))
Legion had some issues with the early days of the expac, but once those got resolved I had the most epic time ever in WoW. Awesome leveling zones, raids, m+ being new and refreshing, tier sets still being a thing, Suramar (
It's funny how I played through this zone two times already and just yesterday realized a big part of why I loved it was this music.
I was so busy running around and admiring the beauty of everything. And yesterday I just stopped for a moment and listened.
It was instantly clear to me why this zone feels so relaxing to me :D
And I'm a little torn between mourning that I couldn't experience this as live content with all its difficulty and being glad I'm able to fly :D
WoW died after Legion. Music, art, AND story all popped off super hard in Legion. Later expansions always have one or more of these 3 in a bad state.
The most beautiful zone with amazing music, it was at the very top of my list of what I wanted to hear! Thank you Everness, you made my day with another amazing video!
which expansion is this place?i stopped playing wow after wotlk..
Second Universe Legion! This is a lvl 110 zone.
Febz I thought battle for Azeroth...
Suramar is my favourite city of all time. Very beautiful, very calming. Just amazing.
One of the withered is running away!
when going to Court of Stars I always stop at kids at bazaar as they say "ring around the city, hearts are full of pity, crashing clashing, outside lies doom"
Suramar is bittersweet. It's where I got the closest to my my best friend before losing him to petty selfishness and alcoholism in 2019. There are things I can't change, and things I can change now.
Boy I never thought I'd be missing this place
I fall asleep to this every night. 🖤🖤
Suramar has the best music and is the most beautiful place in Legion. I was several years late to playing Legion, but I decided I really like it.
"An illusion? What are you hiding?!"
This will haunt me at nights as long with this music.
My favorite places in wow: Eversong Woods and Suramar
Legion was awesome expansion
I love how the music incorporates elements of the Temple of the Moon theme introduced in The Burning Crusade.
Moon Rising B at 33:09 especially. It's basically just that song reimagined.
I miss playing Legion with friends
Ah, I loved Suramar. Sometimes I will still log in and just visit.
I do the same thing :’)
I loved this zones music, but my favourite was the chime music in the ruined town with the harpies and hungered
god legion was such a blast...
Favourite WoW soundtrack and city, just magical they nailed it.
I hate knowing the fact that the more times I listen to this track and reminisce in nostalgia the duller the emotions become. What a cruel fate.
"it's just a game"
I was honestly a huge fan of Suramar as a zone. The first 2 times.
Thank god for level squishing in Shadowlands, gonna be spending my entire leveling experience here!
God, you have no clue how happy I am about this. I’M TOO FRIGGIN HAPPY!
All this WoW music is making me want to play again... =(
Legion best expansion - best locations, best music, best lore... etc
Wish I could go back to 2016
118 Quests, 40 hours of total gameplay questing. Without flying mounts... But it was worth...
anyone else just here for that glorious 9:07 mark
me lol :D its called moon rising btw
Nice nice, im more of a 4:40 guy, not bad choice though
Moons Rising is my favorite tune when walking around Suramar lol
I skipped from mid-Cata to just before Shadowlands. My main leveled through the beginnings of MOP, WOD, and Legion, and I loved Legion so much I did Chromie Time Legion for all of my other toons (about 15). I never went back to finish Cata, MOP, WOD, or BFA, and when I got bored with Shadowlands I returned to Legion to finish every possible achievement and farm mounts. I don't know that I like the class hall specifically, but I loved the class storylines - that made it fresh on every toon. Suramar for me was the icing on the cake, a beautiful city with a lot of secrets.
Even after all this time, hearing this music and seeing the zone makes little tears form in my eyes. Legion was just so incredible.
I love Suramar and listen to this almost daily while I work. Thanks for posting 😎
Spent way too many hours in this area... Nvm I wanna go back to that time :'(
Oh yes! My fav legion zone!!
Эффектно. Красиво.
I never played Legion, but I often listen to its magical music and it makes me nostalgic for something I have not experienced. That is the power of this majestic and evocative music.
1:47 This is just too damn beautiful!
thank you whoever did this soundtrack. So many memories.
Edo Guidotti, Sam Cardon and Russell Brower, they really nailed the feel here.
I LOVED suramar, i just realy hated having to hide in buckets from the nightborne lmao
Yeah they should've made it so once you get so far in the quest line the illusion upgrades so you don't get caught anymore
This zone is the best and it is best explored when there is no flying allowed yet in the Legion. You can enter a lot of buildings in the city and search treasure and the mana thing. The only thing I hate doing world quests in the city is I keep getting dazed by the guards hahaha. Otherwise, beautiful music and ambience.
AN ILLUSION,WHAT ARE YOU HIDING!?
Legion was an expansion with so much character. I wish I had enjoyed it more.... Suramar is one of the most extroadinary city's ever made. I always wished I had spent more time there.
If you didn't experience this zone fully without flying then you missed out. That city is insane, genuine next level, and flying literally takes it all away. (talking about people doing it first time)
Legion is still my favorite expansion and Suramar is still my favorite zone. Wish they would turn Suramar City into an official Horde capital, especially after what happened to Lor'danel in BFA. Nightborne are the best race. Glad they were made playable.
First time listening to this.
I haven't played WoW in a long time but I've always kept an eye on whats going on. It's really saddening to see the game decay, but there is no doubt that it only lasted this long because of its artists.
Best expansion out of all so far.
The best zone ever created. And probably the best expansion.
I love how Blood elf and Night elf trash-talked to each other in front of the city.
The emotional attachement I have to this fictional city is almost... unhealthy. Oh, Suramar... what have you done to me during those six months in that little room :-'D
I came to relax and instead I'm remembering all the "An Illusion! What are you Hiding?"s I had to go through
I highly regret not taking legion seriously when it was fresh
I hope this game never dies honestly and statistically the best game ive ever played. Only annoyed that I didn't get into this game sooner, feels like every other video game is a waste of my time, hope I didn't get into this game too late :) I may be new but ive been looking for this for months, this was my first zone lvling threw only played threw the end of BFA (wanted to play an arcane mage nightborne as my first and main character but had to go back and do legion to unlock the nightborne, loved every second of it) and super excited for shadowlands, but this was really my first experience with this game and even though it was only about 5 months ago as of now, it stuck with me and cant wait for more awesome story and zones. truly captivating game! :O don't even get me started on how great the end game is too LOL
What a beautiful and mysterious city. Wow has some amazing landscapes that's for sure
Suramar was what a modern WoW zone should be measured up to. It wasn't too dense, wasn't too big. It was full of activities, but also empty space for a slower experience. Riding the Gondolas was one of the kind of thing that should show up more often in modern WoW. It's small, nonsensical, meaningless but it is what made the world, the world. The little details are what immersed the player. While I do think the quest line is a bit much on all of the characters, the first time experience was just immensely enjoyable. The recent covenant questline and war campaign of BfA just doesn't have the little nonsense like the mana crystal, wicked training and the variety of world quest. Should also mention the hook and the portal. In my mind, Legion was a massive waste. It's one of the best expansion for years now, but I felt Blizzard was in a rush to finish up the Burning Legion. To me, that's disappointing. The zones were unique and fun, I would love to have Nighthold as mid tier and Tomb as end tier. We ended up spending time on not so inspiring Broken Shore and Argus. I imagine a small extra raid either in Highmountain or Azsuna to supplement Nighthold, just as Trial of Valor was. In which case, we get to spend more time and Blizzard can add more activities to the zones, instead of shoving us onto an entirely separate new zone. I know that they don't do that to not interfere with the levelling, but being pulled away from the good stuffs and doused in green is quite unpleasant. I would be fine not killing Sargeras, or Kil'jaeden, or Argus. Having Kil'jaedan being imprisoned at the end of Legion would have been satisfying enough. In my mind, Legion exhausted Blizzard creative juice. The following expansion and the current one is just uninspiring. Nothing makes me want to wake up early before work and do some chore in game.
