Yet another Timewalking loot post ( As directed by GM)
Opened timewalking Cache before hotfix
Additional Character Slots, Season of Discovery Hotfixes - April 23, 2024
Did Blizzard just hotfix an ilvl requirement onto Awakened LFR?
MMO-Champion
Let's be honest here Blizzard has never made a better raid and never will. I hope one day Blizzard realizes this and re-releases this raid so we can experience its undeniable greatness once again.

Ulduar is one of my least favorite raids for many reasons, including the whole theme of it. But then again cata and wotlk were my least favorite expansions so theres that.

Ulduar is beloved because it wasn't out for long and it is book ended by lack luster raids. If it didn't follow Naxx, come before ToC and only stay current for a few months people would have liked it way less. Just doing the first waves of trash for more then a half year would have driven people mad.

Throne of Thunder, it has trolls... Dog people... And a beholder... It's my favorite because of my love for fantasy and kinda checking all the boxes for what I like...
But hey, ulduar is second in my books

It's like not even in top 5 raids of all time. Whole T11 was superior to Ulduar in almost any aspect.
Overall, Wrath's raids are highly overrated.retired raiding shadow priest.

Artistically, I have always loved Ulduar. I love the concept of hard modes being 'baked into' the encounters as opposed to a switch in the ui you had to flick. The actual boss fights were forgettable, but the lore, the history, the characters(In the mountains...) all of it was a fun experience.

A more incorrect sentence has never been constructed. You may want to try turning on your monitor the next time you enter Ulduar because it is the most beautiful, incredible raid ever produced by Blizzard. Originally Posted by Crimewave

Why, the only real challenge to Ulduar's Greatness is the fact that it wasn't 40 man. Originally Posted by durenas

I liked t11 too. If we are talking about raids as a whole, not just the way it looks.

Ulduar. Diverse boss mechanics, triggered hardmodes, tightly tuned, or easy (something for everyone) Gorgeous instance, great story, I loved/love the people and guild I raided it with.
Ulduar.

For me it's easily Throne of Thunder, followed by Siege of Orgrimmar.
ToT is just pure awesomeness baked in with nice aesthetics, incredible boss fights with great mechanics. And Lei Shen is the most bad ass end boss we've ever had.
Siege also got that MoP polish that is unfortunately missing in today's encounters.
While Ulduar was amazing back in the day, the encouners don't hold up to standards anymore. People get better and we need more challenging stuff to deal with.

Ulduar for the lore. I love the titan stuff. Yogg and Mimiron where the only really great encounters imo.
For boss mechanics i really like ToT and SoO. Sure they had some dull bosses but all raids does. Siegecrafter mythic(hc?) and Lei shen hc is probably some of the best fights ever created.
