10. Grimrail Depot
9. Zul'Farrak
8. Culling of Stratholme

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AUoF2hVHEo&feature=youtu.be

are they right?

They got number 1 right for sure.

Cata Zul'Gurub was a fucking masterpiece of linear dungeon design. It's a shame 90% of the player base was awful at it.

Shadow Labs is my favorite dungeon. Its fairly long, and the heroic version back in BC was murder if you didnt know what you were doing. Plus the Murmur Fight was dank as fuck

Maybe i missed something but both of those felt pretty shitty, they were basically linear and had no interesting gimmicks. It's like they decided they needed some cata and wotlk dungeons in there

They really got a lot better at dungeons later. I'm glad ZG was basically my most frequent raid in WoW. Karazhan every week was a pretty good shit-tier guild dungeon too, when BC came out.

Never played past BC.

Zul'Gurub was amazing as a dungeon, it was hard and worked really well, but the Icecrown dungeons sucked dick, they were short and fucking awful, what were they thinking?

ZA was apparently rehashed, but ZG got a whole rework if I remember right, even a bit of an intro questline to run around Northern Stranglethorn seeing what's going on.

there's nothing wrong with SM or ZG (although it prolly doesn't deserve #1)

It was the best dungeon on launch. It was only boring in later patches when you outgear it and have to wait around the whole time.

Appart from Shadowmoon Burial Grounds (that fucking atmosphere and subterranean lake), I can't think of a single post-BC dungeon I like

Shadowfang, Scholomance, Shadow Lab, Shattered Halls, Magister's Terrace were the tits

Only the first boss was good and that was because I could solo it for 10 minutes while everyone else was dead because they're stupid.

Vanilla dungeons were generally nonlinear and embraced the classic roots of dungeon delving ala D&D games. You have a dungeon, you enter it, you aren't quite sure what to expect, no one's really telling you where to go, there are some secrets on the way, and you may not finish or even survive the whole thing.

The linearity and loss of scope really detracted as time went on.

The most interesting boss in the dungeon came before the most boring one, and that most boring one was the end boss. They had a neat idea by fighting on a moving train, but they fucked up with the boss order.

Your concern with timewalking dungeons isn't even that big of a deal since you can literally just get better gear killing mobs in tanaan

>WHY IS THE LATEST PATCH CONTENT THE ONLY RELEVANT CONTENT IN THE GAME?
Too many people bitching they can't see all the content because making older content (even raids from the last patch) relevant would mean getting rid of all the shortcuts to current content and would make people have to run older raids not in LFR

The second boss is still one of the hardest five man bosses they've ever designed, He was absolute bullshit the first time you tried to do it, even on normal. Hell even the trash mobs were hard in that dungeon.

The bar and the lyseum were straight bullshit. Most groups ended at the bar because someone fucked it up and the walk back was ridiculous and the Lyseum mandated a mage or you were not fucking clearing it.

I love the dungeon too because of the sheer volume of content in it along with the amazing loot the last boss dropped but let's not pretend it wasn't badly designed.

They didn't split ST.

They chopped the upper and lower floors off. Now it's just the main room with Hakkar, Eranikus, Morpho and the Zombie Troll guy.

Zul'Farrak will always be my favorite. That moment when you saved that party at the top of the temple, turned the camera around to go down and see like a hundred of mobs down there. Moments like that helped leveling in early WoW feel like a long journey.

I don't get this reasoning

it was ALWAYS split up, you'd do one wing and if everyone felt like it you could do another or all three

the only downside is that you had to do ONE of the first two wings to get to the third

in any case it was way better than Blackrock "Whoops your group died at the bar everyone is leaving" Depths

Well yeah, we cc'd the shit out of stuff but the giants in that particular dungeon (esp the ones before the black stalker) could not be avoided and they did some Mike Tyson from punchout levels of damage to your tank.

Headscratching decisions
>Culling of Strath, Durnholde Keep was better mechanical wise if were going for Caverns of Time (especially since both are glorified escort quests) and Strath was bettter, it was a real challenge and made the harrowing chapter of Warcraft history feel properly dark and dangerous, 90% sure it's on here because of the free dragon

Vanilla fag here. git fucking good. Durnolde was easy and fuck. Th dogs did nothing without backup. Which if you were smart a little CC solved that problem when it arose.

The only dungeon that was anywhere difficulty was Shattering halls and that was ONLY because idiots would rush foward and not let the tank get some thread or pull extra packs.

This is why blizzard keeps pruning skills. Because idiots have no damn clue how to use them.

Kinda want to go back to finish them, but I am sure it's near impossible to get a group for them this late into the expansion.

My favourite was Karazhan. I have no argument to prove it's the best, but it was definitely my favourite.
I used to run it while listening to the Kamelot album Ghost Opera.

The only way you can justify this is if you somehow got the horse in your first 5 runs.

Yea, that's what I figured. When I did the MoP ones on my alt during the SoO it was so fucking hard to find people who weren't sellers and had enough skill to get through them.

I was a big fan of strat overall, I think I always joined a run for it when I saw it advertised. The Righteous Orbs didn't hurt either.

It gets an asterisk in my eyes since it got a double dose of attention, polish and design since it was a really important raid in Vanilla and then a big story piece of Cata's plot. Most dungeons just get a small pass and it's out the door.

It really felt like a huge ominous city of evil with so many optional areas it felt massive. The friendly tavern area made it extra special.

Actually slogging through that with a rag tag group of adventurers was amazing.

Shit list

>>335216376
Got you some pots and finished a quest if you were doing the 0.5 questline. Don't think there was any extra loot.
