Older WoW Dungeons to Receive Sweet Cataclysmic Makeovers

Unread postby News Portal » 25 Oct 10, 11:25 am

Wondering what effect the [app=6101]cataclysmic arrival of Deathwing[/app] will have on your favourite, old-school World of Warcraft dungeons? You are? Really? What an obscure thing to be wondering! Fortunately though, Blizzard designer Corey Stockton was on stage at [event=23]BlizzCon 2010[/event] to help you with this conundrum.

Does blizzard think all their subscibers have ADHD and can't stay focus on one thing or something for more than 20mins?

Seems like they're just making everything take less time than what it did :\

And removing all the good stuff tbh.

:( i liked old Maraudon and Uldaman. They were large and a bit confusing. You had to figure out where you had to go and could easily miss a boss, or something interesting... I dont know, kinda like a dungeon SHOULD be??

Im sure it will now just be some more of this linear 10 min insta dungeon poop

The LFG tool has changed a lot. These old dungeons were barely being run before they added it, and now you are joining PUG groups with mentally retarded Americans who could get lost in Violet Hold. LFG pugs will fall apart if they take more than 20 mins, a levelling PUG 5-man is a much different experience to an end-game content guild raid.

Yeah unfortunately.

I never really felt the games downfall was the games fault, more the typical players.

But no damned Aussie Servers, that will piss me off to my dieing day...

The idea seems to be to make "wings" on content, aka SM/ICC/etc. You can choose which part to enter (if you can find the friggin entrance heh).

Reducing the duration of graveyard runs is ALWAYS good.

Oh, and THANK SCIENCE they're altering Sunken Temple ..

To the above, sorry you don't enjoy it. Personally, I'll be in game having fun.

Agree with Wyld - the point is to make the dungeons more FUN. FYI since the LFG tool came in Maraudon has been split into 3 wings (assuming you dont of course use the actual entrance :)).

Also cant see anything wrong with not having to run up through most of the Burning Steppes to get back to Blackrock mt after a wipe :P
