Even so, there’s some interesting stuff on offer. It’s particularly hard to get excited about the class-specific Order Halls, which both replace the Garrisons from Draenor and throw them onto the pile of Scryer rep points and other abandoned mechanics. This feels like a great idea, albeit a little diminished by the fact that most of Blizzard’s big changes each expansion only last until the next one. Even druids get to take part in the customisation, with their Artifact weapons altering their beast forms too. Weapons also have variants and Heroes of the Storm style skins so that not everyone is wielding the exact same weapon-Purified Ashbringer, Flaming Ashbringer, Corrupted Ashbringer and Shattered Ashbringer, complete with a choice of colours. The Frost Death Knight meanwhile, wielding twin rune-blades Icebringer and Soulreaper, looks to offer more choice, as well as showcasing the very powerful ability to raise allies with full health and mana, and perform a self-resurrection after death.

Ashbringer for instance will mimic Templar’s Verdict or Divine Storm after two seconds. The Paladin’s Ashbringer doesn’t look to offer many alternatives on its very linear unlock tree, but having a new progression system should make it more interesting to keep around than if it was just about whacking things harder. That’s something that should define a character’s career, not 10 levels.Ī new currency called Artifact Power will offer upgrades, both visually and in terms of abilities-a trait tree to unlock. The new loot looks pleasantly shiny, particularly the legendary weapons intended to be kept and customised with new powers and looks rather than thrown away in favour of every shiny new thing that comes along. Blizzard is in a class of its own when it comes to PvE content. The new continent of The Broken Isles will almost certainly be a great place to explore. As far as the other features go, there’s lots to look forward to, though not much worth screaming in excitement over just yet.
