I came back for season 4 to do ksm, but I’m so bored of DF dungeons.
Don’t get me wrong not all of em, but Brackenhide, nokhud, neltharus are exhaust me so much as a tank (and dps). I believe their design is so bad and boring.
With that in mind which expansion you think bad the most enjoyable dungeons. I really liked BFA dungeons and Wotlk.
I really enjoyed BfA dungeons, and still enjoy if they are added in the M+ pool. Some Legion dungeons I fancy as well. I like it when dungeons are related to main content story. Generally I find DF story writing poor, so DF dungeons did not give me the same feel. Still, I enjoy them though in Season 4. I like the challenge.
Algethar academy has the right amount of trash and pace imo BUT the voice acting and theme is horrendous Disney crap. Especially the dialogue between the two “professors” in the tree boss. Jeez
im old school so i would say classic dungeon. too long yes… but pre cata scholomance was somethin incredible. and also sunken temple. but you had to reserve 2h to finish it. Now is just… bleah
I will be the weird one out and say most Shadowlands dungeons were really well thought out - had interesting mechanics, and were hard enough at the casual level that I play on (casual = do ksm at some point and leave).
Shadowlands dungeon for me along with DF are the worst. Overall I disliked more shadowlands dungeons but the three I said earlier from DF are the worst group content I ever done in any mmorpg
I don’t know why, but I really like Deadmines. Maybe because it was my first dungeon ever and we got lost there, or maybe it is because of the story about Van Cleef.
Generally, I love Classic dungeons, Blackrock Depths are the second one. Yea, it is long, but the whole story about Rangaros and the Blackrock Mountain makes me feel really nostalgic.
But overall, every expansion had at least one awesome and memorable dungeon. Would like to mention Waycrest Manor as one of them.
idk about expension overall, but the most fun seasons are definitely the ones where we have old dungeons brought back, the best dungeons this expansion were all from outside of df imo, blackrock hold, darkheart thicket, court of stars, shadowmoon burial grounds, temple of the jade serpent, everbloom, i’m kinda sad that the 1st season of the war within we’re gonna have 2 dungeons from shadowlands since it was so recent, necrotic wake and mists, instead of something else
That’s right . plenty of dungeons . They were hard both normal and heroic version.
Gear was something that you look for . The pre-raid gear lvl from those dungeons was quite competitive with the 1st tier Raids and some item were quite attractive even Later.
Set items ?? Socketed gear with 2/3 options ?
And the best is that era provided guild with the ability to create bound and recruit more and more people , creating thought those amazing raiding guilds and communities .
Obviously Vanilla, because it had such great variety and a greater number of dungeons than any expansion that came after.
Both TBC and WOTLK are amongst my favorites too, not because I particually like the dungeons they offer, but because they had Cavern of Time Dungeons (and raids) which are amongst some of my all time favorites. I still dream of seeing a Reworked Battle for Hyjal, with modern mechanics.
I don’t mind Nokhud but Brackenhide and Netltharus are just as exhuasting for a healer and the damage seems to be somewhat overtuned by design. I believe they were intended to be difficult and challenging. I for one wont be sorry to see the backend of most of the DF dungeons. I just hope they don’t make the same garbage in TWW but fear it may possibly be worse.
And that is just it, variety and different themed. The only drawback is some of them were so long and felt like mini raids.
The Cataclysm pre-nerf heroic dungeons are the best I’ve ever seen. Although they were very overtuned at Cataclysm launch and pretty much aids, they were also very fun because they required people to actually do the mechanics in each dungeon, as opposed to Wrath of the Lich King were people just blasted dungeon bosses without any regard to mechanics.
A comparison between these Cataclysm dungeons and today’s Dragonflight Mythic+ dungeons would easily be a Mythic+ dungeon at level 10 or higher with both fortified and tyrannical affixes at the same time.
But overall BFA had the best. It was the right length and trash packs. Literally I will not ksm this season cause I can’t stand to do Brackenhide and neltharus
