This thread is full of nostalgia! I so can't wait until the release :D
I think Ony because it was the first raid to be introduced and had such an immersive quest line that had players traveling all over the world. I loved having to travel deep into the swamps to reach her lair and help the warlocks summon the rest of the raid. The encounter was huge and truly epic, darting around and under a massive dragon while handling many whelps! The greatest of times.
Big shout out to MC and ZG though, they really encapsulate Vanilla Warcraft for me. Many hours of fun were had with 39 friends in the molten halls of MC and the lush jungle temples of ZG.
Looking forward to seeing them again from a proper level and power perspective.
For me it's Blackwing Lair, that raid has some nasty bosses and the atmosphere and mechanics are pretty spot on; it's long and has a lot of story and cool bosses. But in coolness nothing beats that first time you face Ragnaros arising from the lava, that is some top notch level of cool.
Aside classic my favorites are Ulduar and Karazhan.
Karazhan... I'll see myself out :biggrin:
Seriously though, the boss fights were so unique and interesting. I hope they bring it back to Classic in some way.
100% Agree. Thing is though that Karazhan was supposed to be in Vanilla originally, so it would make sense if they'd bring it in.
It looks like BWL is a favorite among a lot of you with BWL coming in a close second. Very interesting, I look forward to re-experiencing them both to see if they become my favorite!
Bwl an Naxx.
Bwl - blackrock rules, cool endboss, overall more tasks for most classes during the raid especially compared to MC. And I like the design with fighting through different stages till endboss on top.
Naxx felt also nice to fight against humanoids & undeads and cool bossfights too. And ofc it felt a little superior to be in a naxx raiding guild xD but not this time (for me) :cry:
My favorite raid is Redridge!
I voted BWL but ZG was definitely a close second for me. They both represented a big step up in design from MC and Onyxia before them and enjoyed doing them more. To be fair I did not do AQ much or Naxxramas at all for comparison so my options are more limited.
