The Cataclysm Classic Pre-Expansion Patch is Now Live
Realm Restarts Scheduled — Wednesday May 1

Void Elf starting pet?

I can confirm that the Black Temple Timewalking Raid will not be queueable!
Confirmed on PTR, could not queue could only make a group.
This is great news, this iconic raid should not be on a queue at all, and it will take actual skill to complete.
I'm extremely happy Blizzard hasnt changed any of the mechanics either. Huge nostalga for me!

Nah it will be queueable and tuned down. Blizzard does dumb shit from time to time but this would be monumentally stupid of them to limit it to organized groups only. LFR is their bread and butter now

Unfortunately it'll be a queueable faceroll zergfest.
It just isn't queueable on the PTR currently...."There is no end to education. It is not that you read a book, pass an examination, and finish with education.

Pretty sure there are at least plans to do both (I remember strings going up in the PTR for at least LFR, and normal versions), which suits me just fine. People who want to queue can, I can clear it with my guild, everyone gets to have fun.

Requires skill.. Well thats debatable, the majority of the bosses are really simple by todays standards.

Well, the mechanics in timewalking dungeons weren't changed, too. Yet they can be completely ignored. Originally Posted by Jaylock

I doubt there will be much "nostalgia". Or skill needed.

Lol...the only difference between putting together a pug raid group and LFR is you have to invite players manually versus it being automatic.
Same terrible players, same drama. This will lead to zero improvements over LFR.
But I highly doubt this goes live.Last edited by wombinator04; 2017-05-16 at 04:45 PM.

Then this will not really be a success then, will it?
Insecure raiders that live for virtual accomplishments might rejoice though.

The entire fucking point of time walking is to reuse already existing assets that had very little participation in the past and are effectively new. Making them unqueable defeats this purpose.
The hammer comes down:

So really how often is TW TBC gonna pop now, we have TBC/Wotlk/Cata/MoP in the mix and not every week. Calendar doesn't really look forward much anymore.
Seeing how BT will only be up once every few months I feel there will be plenty of groups anyway. (was adressed in QA that they dont want permanent timewalking)

It's another iteration of Timewalking. As is, nothing leads me to believe TW black temple will be hard in any way shape or form. Originally Posted by Jaylock

They said somewhere (looking for it now) that it wouldn't be LFR/queueable and that you'd need a premade group. It would also coincide with BC timewalking (Black Temple, that is)

LFR is nothing more than a business decision to have people enter raid instances. 1-2% of people seeing assets that cost money = investors pulling plug on raids. Originally Posted by Dug
