Thoughts on the newest legendary in WoD... the ring

[Bippy]

What are your thoughts on this? Too lackluster? Good choice? Will there be a passive/active visual effect do you think? Let's discuss the One Ring to rule them all!

Linking the item would be good idea

Yeah sure link a beta item that is sure to change before release <.<


I think it's bad. Previous legendaries had a wicked appearance (besides the cloak, which is still lame just not as lame as a ring, that made up for it with the visual) but I can't possibly imagine how a ring would have any kind of "WOW" value upon seeing it.
They should've kept making weapons, but perhaps put one for every class, like with the cloak in MoP. Also make it harder to get. Make it a true achievement.

I like the rings. Maybe they will add a sick visual, maybe they wont. I dont really care.
But im wondering if Blizz will implement another Legendary as they mentioned in this interview WoW: Blutschrei als Legendary und ganz viele Orcs - das zweite Gamescom-Interview zu WoD.

Who's to say the ring won't have a physical appearence? The Black Diamond Ring has a physical appearence in terms of "bling"; I could see the legendary ring flashing different colours like something straight out of a 90s disco.

Personally I think it's lackluster. After talking to people in /2 on various servers, many people want a legendary in either a weapon slot, helm or shoulders. A couple even suggested a trinket with a passive effect and then an on-use when used/procced.

I think they've gotten lazy. and when I say "they", I refer to blizzard. They should have stuck with weapons or visible gear like helmets or shoulders. They need to make legendaries hard to obtain again, and when you get it you really feel that sense of reward... not a legendary you get after grinding rep and then doing dailies and shit.

The game is no longer catered for hardcore players. After raid attunments stopped existing the game slowly went on to please the casual player base.
A person that works full time 9-5 has no chance to grind a current tier raid to get a legendary. they are pleasing everyone who is playing.



Think of illidan, only like 2% of the playerbase even saw him when that was current. It was an AWESOME fight and boss, yet so little people saw it. Why would they waste so much time developing all this stuff, when only a few will enjoy it. Hence LFR and everything, it allows casual players to experience ALL the content.



It sucks but blizzard is a company and doesn't cater to neckbeards with no jobs, they do it for everyone playing the game

I hope it wont be BIS in pvp.

I hope it wont be BIS in pvp.

proc probably won't work in PvP, and general stats will scale down cause PvE gear.... (speculation ofc)

Ive been told numerous times there will be a visual effect ^_^

And in my opinion a legendary is a legendary, it all depends on the story. Sure shadowmourne looked cool, but it also felt awesome getting it because of the story behind it and the immersive questline. A ring will suffice if it is properly introduced

I think this is a very positive way to look at it. I do hope they have a very intricate questline with it and not just standard grinding rep/material and such. They need to step their game up
