I apologize for posting this here, but it doesn’t really fit anywhere else in the forums. This has been rattling around in my mind for a while now and I need to post it somewhere, so again I apologize for cluttering up this forum. I’m not sure where this will fit in with the lore, but with the whispers of the Void Lords becoming a thing in the future, perhaps it could be a mini-raid.
Stepping through the unknown portal, something feels immediately different. You shouldn’t be here, you don’t belong. Doubt and confusion begin to tear at every waking second, memories of your life fade in and out of your conscious mind like the flame of a candle caught in a gentle breeze. Something draws you forward, faint whispers of familiar voices call out to you, beckoning you closer and deeper into the darkness beyond. Looking around at the walls, the only light coming from the glow of the mysterious portal makes your blood run cold as you realize this isn’t just darkness that surrounds you.
As you enter the massive crystalline structure the vastness of cold empty space presses in all around you, threatening to break through the glass surrounding you at any second. Out of the darkness a coarse ancient voice speaks out, a voice you know well as you have heard it countless times before in your dreams.
“All that you think you are is but an echo of a dream about to fade from existence…”
Raid Concept: The Theatre of Shattered Dreams (A.K.A. RNG Nightmare)
Primary Boss: Echeron the reality shaper
Character Model: Roughly similar to Xhul’horac.
Raid encounter centers around Echeron randomly selecting five random raid bosses from previous expansions for players to face. Similar concept to how Violet Citadel works with random bosses, the idea here is to test raid groups as they will not know whom they will face so there can be no static or best raid compositions. Players will be warped to which ever raid boss Echeron chooses (Using the current Timewalking scaling systems appropriate for the raid bosses), progressing from room to room to face the next boss while the previous room crumbles and shatters behind them along with the interconnecting hallways, fighting their way through the various mobs spawned. The threat is not only the raid bosses or mobs, but the very environment itself as if players move too slow, they will be caught up by the crumbling structure.
Upon facing Echeron in the final chamber, players will race the clock to defeat him before he smashes the crystal floor out from under them, letting them drop to the void below.
