![Blizzard sticks to the plans for WoW Legion Remix – Community says: Then we just won’t play it [Update]](https://images.mein-mmo.de/medien/2025/08/WoW-Legion-Game-Master-Sad-titel-title-1280x720-1-780x438.jpg){kind=small}
Legion Remix for World of Warcraft does not look good. This is what the community says and promises: We will not play it like that.
Update 28.08.2025, 06:30 AM: Meanwhile, Blizzard has commented in the WoW Forum and appears to be planning a course change. All the loud criticism from the community seems to have had an effect, as Blizzard says:
Many thanks to everyone who took the time to test Legion Remix on the PTR. Based on your feedback, we will extend our PTR test by a week starting next week and make significant improvements, aiming to bring additional speed, power, and fun into the mode. More details coming soon.
It remains to be seen whether the changes will actually make a difference. But at least it seems that the feedback has been received.
Original message:
It was supposed to be a big nostalgia fest and the announcement was received with much joy. But it is becoming increasingly clear that Legion Remix will be quite different than Mists of Pandaria Remix. However, the developers seem determined to stick to this path and are now paying the price for it: many are unwilling to give Legion Remix a chance or prefer to play it only at the end when Blizzard gives in.
What is the problem? Legion Remix could already be tried out on the PTR (test server). However, the first feedback from players was devastating. Leveling is too slow, the power increase is too low, and essentially all that made Mists of Pandaria Remix great is not included this time – with the exception of numerous cosmetic rewards. But even those are not all available at the start, but will be unlocked over time.
We addressed all the problems of Legion Remix in this article.
Blizzard sticks to phases, wants slower power gain
One of the developers responsible for Legion Remix is also active on a community Discord, where a channel has even been created specifically for feedback. There, “Josh” not only collects feedback from the community but also responds to some criticisms to clarify his design philosophy or explain what the intent of Legion Remix is.
In recent days, numerous players have expressed their concerns and criticized that essentially the best aspects of Mists of Pandaria Remix are not present in Legion Remix: all content available from the start and the ability to become extremely powerful within a few days. Josh responded:
I appreciate the feedback and understand where you are coming from and your feelings are valid. Some updates will come soon. I want you to feel as powerful as in Mists of Pandaria [Remix], but I also want to bring back the feeling of strengthening the artifact weapon over multiple patches and then going into the once-challenging zones and slaughtering everything – that is a kind of progress and narrative that can only be experienced with different phases.
Even if Josh’s statement should not be understood as a general Blizzard position, he is indeed one of the key developers of this feature, and such a statement carries weight.
Community says: Let us know when everything is there, then we will play
In social media, such as the WoW subreddit, these and other statements are not received well at all. Many express their discontent that they have to wait many weeks until all content from Legion is available.
It is also disappointing that one will only truly feel overpowered late in the course of Legion Remix. After all, this overpowering is what made it fun and one of the driving factors when it came to farming rewards. Because hardly anyone wants to farm rewards while having a “normal” power level – that has been experienced sufficiently in Retail WoW.
Some of the comments on this:
- “I won’t touch this until they go back to their typical ‘Sorry, here’s the turbo mode’ nonsense, like they always do lately when they give us content piecemeal.” – snukz
- “To make it short: We wait a month and when it’s finally fixed, we will play.” – ironmcchef
- “I want no phases. I want no progress. I want no ‘trying’. I want to turn off my brain, see big numbers, and make bosses fall over.” – Khaldaan
- “It’s incredible that the feedback for MoP Remix back then was almost unanimous: ‘This is the most fun I’ve ever had in WoW’ and the feedback for Legion Remix is ‘This is really, really bad and nobody likes it’. And they still stick to it.” – SpunkMcKullins
- “You can just trust Blizzard to take a fun new game mode (that surprised everyone) and completely massacre it for future versions of it. Just… how?” – Fright13
Whether all these comments are ultimately just lip service and players will end up playing for the cosmetic rewards remains to be seen. However, one should not expect a “hype” like the one Mists of Pandaria Remix generated. After all, Legion Remix resembles too much the restrictions and “normal” things that everyone has been experiencing in Retail for years.
That’s all very unfortunate, as Legion Remix brings some of the coolest rewards.
