Time for classic timewalking?

Community General Discussion

it’s always struck me as odd that we have timewalking dungeons for all of the older expansions but not for the classic dungeons we started with. this would be especially important since Cataclysm overrode those dungeons with revamps which, although fun, often don’t live up to their predecessors

it would be great to revist the old school Scholomance, UBRS, even Sunken Temple without having to play on the classic servers. we already know that there’s a scaled version of Molten Core from the anniversary event that could easily be adapted to a timewalking raid as well

finally, it would also be nice if we could queue for timewalking dungeons at the same time as randoms… if we can do multiple PVP queues, why not PVE too?

I’d run those if they added back the removed mog pieces… ^^

the transmogs would be another huge plus of course

Yes please. Shadowfang Keep, Scholomance, SM, UBS, Stratholme… Miss them all.

Naxx can be the timewalking raid, bringing back T3 as drops.

Let the gold whales scream at that one.

I would enjoy running Wailing Caverns or Dire Maul again.
Or the old version of RFC.

Wonder why they skipped them.
Maybe they’re worried that they’re too dated for current gen players to see as max level content.

This…makes total sense. Why don’t we have them?

Can we have them back in their original Vanilla state but harder… buff all the mob damage and HP and make CCing a thing again?

Make it a thing just for the Vanilla ones - make them hard as nails, everyone knows it before-hand. If you don’t like them you can just sit them out that month. It could be a thing - like a Mythic+ without the timer.

Everyone knows they will take forever and can go into them eyes open.

Same. They’d be amazing DK shoulders. Though if the raid was done right they should still be for warriors tbh.

They said with classic realms open if you wish to do the dungeons the choice is there so they wount do it .

Atm TW is over tuned HP wise and boring .
They need to add to dungeons or rotate then for example swap Arca for Mech then Mech for Bot in TBC so we get newish ones per time .

We will probably get Legion TW in SL so we really dont need classic.

What happens when you have a full caster comp in the skeleton room?

The amount of wipes I forsee because someone pulls the endboss without clearing all of the adds, glorious.

To be honest, even in classic we rarely CC mobs in dungeons, just have a group who knows what to kill and there is no need.

I’m trying to think of specific examples, but yeah - you could just throw everything at most of it. In TBC there were definite Poly benefits in the dungeons though.

Yeah, TBC had so much dangerous trash.

I think the only times we’ve CCd in classic was when we were doing first runs of dungeons and trying to be careful, but after the first, you learn which mobs need to die first and which don’t.

16

Yes I think you’re right, I’m conflating Vanilla with TBC.

I’m one of those weirdos that likes the TBC Timewalking - everyone complains… yet we still do all of them with no CC.

17

Shattered Halls and Shadow Labs my favourite dungeons as a fire mage back then.

18

Weirdly I was a fire mage then -really. Ilyrian was a BE mage. I only started Priest at the end of TBC.

Do you remember having to have more +hit than frost… or is old age and nostalgia clouding my judgement?

19

You are right was harder to get spell hit capped as fire i think frost had a talent ?
Fire raid spec
Frost pvp and level spec
Arcane hardly touched but if you used arcane explosion it was a well known fact that if you jumped at same time it did more dps … :wink:`
