Reimplementing old raids/instances (Naxx40/ZG20/Scholo/SM/ST)

[skitzy129]

No, it's a waste of time. More new content please.

The two dungeons I did like in their original form were Blackrock Depths (though still intact per se was the minor changes to it) The other was Sunken Temple was always fun getting lost in that place. lol

No, I would prefer Blizzard spend their time focused on new content rather than wasting resources on a bunch of old content so the few people who get nostalgic can run it once every year or 2 just to reminisce about raiding in the old days

Will have to see if the original entrance to Sunken Temple is still there but I doubt it.

agreed, having lvl 60/70/etc items available with stats would be a major problem, in fact probably very unbalancing. I mean, an ilvl 86? epic from naxx40 would really make those bc blues with wotlk epic gems worthless in the 60-64 bracket, and this is the single most favorable example of how good older removed gear could be and I am being sarcastic - the differences between naxx and bc socketed blues would be marginal I think (not running comparisons). the other comparisons are just silly - sunken temple gear? ).

And the old scholo blue sets (and dungeon set 0 in general) would break the game if re-introduced, particularly if the dungeon set quest lines were there. I mean, like, can you even imagine players able to get dset0 with STATS? (ignoring the current black market items, which shockingly have stats too)

you can run aq40 and get loot. you can run swp and get loot. why would running oxy60 or naxx40 and getting loot be bad?

I truly don't see where the attitude that any old content should be made into a mystical 'to experience the content only' journey. Its a video game. Players want loot. Players want to know they CAN get loot even if they don't, or don't try to.

I am not aware of blizzard EVER re-instating old content after it is 'improved.' The issue is moot.

Calm down sparky. No one is saying that old gear would "break" the balance, and your sarcasm is entirely unnecessary.

Since scenario bosses don't actually drop any loot for balance purposes, by implementing the old graphics as transmog items, you make the transition for the old dungeons much more viable. Moreover, how exactly are they suppose to implement these old dungeons with the new ones taking their place? The simple fact is that they cannot coexist with the world post Wrath, and thus can only really be accessed as scenarios.

You need to cool off if you seriously want a discussion, otherwise you're coming across as pompous.

Best way to implement them would be as scenarios.

They'd be quick, dirty, offer no loot, and run solely for the purpose of experiencing them.

I suppose what they could do is have the end boss spawn a chest that gives transmog items (no stats) that resemble pieces that were taken out of the game that were tied to that instance.

This would probably be more work though.

I generally don't mind these revamps, although it's a shame when a lot of things get lost as the new place is much smaller and updated (like in ZG and scholo). However when it's not changed much and all there is was bit of retuning and moderniziation it's all good (like Naxx, ZA, SFK). That said though I generally think it's better if Blizzard focus on new stuff and that's the main reason why I voted no here. I can live without the old Sunken Temple if we get a new, fresh, and better instance instead.

[Hyve]

No. I would much rather the developers continue to work on future projects on World of Warcraft and progressing the game, rather then implementing older content so a small section of the community can relive their past.

Move, On.

[Okacz]

Would definitely like old ZG back, because the current one is pretty much a gimmicky bullcrap. The old one had spirit, soul and interesting layout. The current one has... I don't know, those freezing cauldrons are pretty neat I guess.

But Scarlet Monastery? Okay, this place brings nostalgia, but why would you really want the old one back? Where is it better, besides it was "good old times"? I agree that the current Commander is a boring and uninspired boss, compared to the previous boring and uninspired - but MOGRAINE! Maybe Herod was a class act himself too. The rest? Current Houndmaster is pure win. Korloff is a great reference of "Rocky IV", and a funny boss as well. And the lenght of the dungs is way better as well - old Graveyard was a 5 min runthrough without anything special in between, besides occasional rare bosses.

[ringpriest]

No. What I would like to see is a return to the Classic/BC style of actual tiered raiding.

[Zaelsino]

Waste of time for all but Naxx imo, and they've gone to lengths to make the stuff you could get there (T3, Ashbringer, etc.) rare, expensive, or unobtainable.

[Horseface]

Only implemented as extra content, but not in the way zandalari 4.1 "shit" patch was implemented as main content.

[NonameXADX]

No, if it's the gear you want from them for transmog purposes, well then too bad. We knew SM and Scholo will get reimplemented, so you did have the time to get the gear from those two.Naxx40 Gear is -almost- the same as it is currently, but just like the Tier 3, the original looks are gone forever. ZG,ZA and old crafted weapons are coming back in 5.2 from drops and blacksmithing so you'll have those.
