“Up to BFA anyway” not like Shadowlands was any good…
I mostly like the idea of large dungeons you can only do once. The downside is there either cannot be any gear dropped or all the available gear drops for everyone. Imagine not getting the drop you want and never having a second chance to get it.
People failing to do Ozruk’s mechanics didn’t necessitate a wipe. More than a few times, I had to (and did) solo Ozruk most of the way AS A HEALER.
I played WoW for years, right from vanilla days. I NEVER realised sunken temple was bigger than the 3 or 4 standard bosses that everyone always wanted. Never did the statues thing, not once that I remember. Feel like i massively missed out, as I loved the huge sprawling dungeons, like BRD and the xBRS ones.
Fun fact: there was one particular mob in BRD that you could mind control that had zero cooldown on an ability called "Throw wrench" or something similar. When mind controlled you could spam the hell out of it and take down bosses in seconds, though you had to be careful not to get the killing blow or it wouldn't count as a party kill.
Scarlet Monastery will always have a huge nostalgic hold in my heart
How can you not put Shadowfang Keep or Zul'Farrak in here. Those are 2 of the top 3 best dungeons in classic.
Top 10 Worst Dungeons in World of Warcraft's History
Halls of Reflection
So is it the Worst or the best dungeon?
A couple of these were on "Worst Dungeons" 🤔
@17:10 Actually, when it came to instanced dungeons…Take your pick, but SOE got to it first. WELL ahead of blizzard. Either LDON for Everquest, or more so GoD. Both came out WELL before WoW dropped. So giving Blizzard that distinction is kind of shitting on the company that gave it to us first.
Halls of reflection is on both your best and worst dungeon lists…
I haaaate culling
Bunch of these are on your worst list wtf?
Knew BRD would be in this and not disappointed at all to see it’s #1. Jailbreak leading into the Stormwind confrontation with Onyxia was just an amazing experience
Halls of Reflection simultaneously 10th best and 10th worst
I wonder why Blizz aren't doing mega dungeons such as vanilla BRD, but with the raid mechanic of "3 kills for a skip" quest.
It would be an ideal scenario the way I see, players get to experience to massive DnD style dungeons, the devs can get their brain juices flowing on something epic, and players who are willing to farm it a few times get access to a skip if there's specifoc loot they want.
I'd call it a massive win if they did that
Man I loved the BC heroics and Cata heroics before the nerf… You really felt a sense of accomplishment after finishing one of those back in those days. Didn't feel like you're a child in a sandbox playing with shovels and buckets but instead it kicked your ass if you messed up. But then again, the game was catering to the casual players who couldn't be bothered to "git gud" as DS players would tell them, instead resorting to whining and moaning on forums. It got so ridiculous in the end that I remember tanking an entire room full of trash mobs plus the boss in MoP"heroic" just to see my health bar drop and actually get challenged to survive. I for one would love to see challenging heroics again and mechanically complex boss fights in dungeons, plus some rewards worthy of doing those again.
I started Wow last week, and i did hellfire citadel, that was really fun for me
honestly not sure why halls of reflection is on this considering everybody hated it when it came out. When it was current content it wasn't liked, how is that best. I still remember people dropping constantly from it.
''Players realy liked short doungens'' Me: not people, me robot. 🤣🤣
Caverns of time was cool the first few times. It got removed from timewalking because as soon as people got it, they left. It was way too long. I don't think it deserves second place. I don't think it even belongs on the list to be honest.
I like how Halls of Reflection is #10 on both best dungeons and worst 😂
I always loved Utgaarde Keep.
its weird that you compare deadmines to rfc, stockade is the alliance equivalent or rfc, deadmines is more comparable to wc
Pre nerf Cata launch heroics = my favorite dungeon experience.
The problem isn't the same people crying for harder then easier content–the game has both casual and hardcore players, and you literally cant satisfy one without screwing over the other. Personally, I say WoW started out as the "casual", less punishing mmo compared to its contemporaries, like everquest, and so, for me, the "hardcores" are ruining the game. They'd say the same about me, though. Wow will never be what everyone wants anymore than anything else. I'd LOVE a seperate game that has the same classes and function but is just unrated pvp with all the modes and lots of new maps.
Edit: I want tf2, but WoW flavored.
hall of the reflection is the best and the worst at the same time x)
Sorry grimrail is shit
CoS was shit gameplay wise. Its important because of the story but back in Wotlk ppl insta leave this place because its long and boring. Overall not a good dungeon
It's been 2 years, and we're getting another Megadungeon finally!!! YAAAYYYYYYYY
If BRD isin't #1 on any top dungeon list then it isin't a real list 😁
Scholomance just nails it, brd is also hella good since it feels so frikking huge
SM Ost slaps tho.
HoR and deadmines in the list. I guess the videomaker hates all life and everything.
Mechagon liked? In one sentence?
I do not know a single player who enjoyed mechagon.
Flash forward to season 4 in Shadowlands where Grim Rail was m+ and was easily the worst dungeon key to get all season. Awful sight when you would tank it, tight hallways which made spiteful sanguine, quaking. 1st and 2nd boss on 22 or above tyran keys= nightmare fuel. It was a community best pick and and why it was in the rotation and just proof that the wow community at a whole are actual bots and live in a world of nostalgia and not practicality
Halls of Valor is missing
I loved Halls of reflection, especially as a tank, that was the golden era of tanking
I'm fine with easier content and I enjoy a challenge too. I just don't want to have to spend 30 minutes before a pick up group to figure out the mechanics of modern boss fights. I'm a lazy DPS player. Just let me blast you with my power until you die please. I don't like having to fit my character different ways for different dungeons.
Yes I'm lazy and admit that. I want to have fun not be stressed out.
Minor correction: The bronze drake's boss was on a timer, if you didn't kill it within the time, it'd disappear along with the mount. This wouldn't be so bad if Arthas wasn't slow as heck and if he died you had to restart that section and was required to open the next sections, so he couldn't be left behind. This wasn't as big of a deal later in the expansion but at the start? The bronze drake was an achievement.
