What will be the other 4.1 raid?

[vizzle]

We know that Firelands will be a raid, but we also know that there will only be a few bosses there, and certainly won't take up a whole content patch on its own. What do you think will be the other raid that will come in 4.1? The trinket "Mark of Khaz'goroth" and the Phased Event "## Anachronos Vision" made me start thinking that it definitely will be the CoT raid, but then I distinctly remember someone saying this would be 4.2, but I'm sure that isn't confirmed at all.

What do you think will be the other raid? I'm thinking it's the War of the Ancients raid in CoT, which would be GREAT. I'm so sick of all these dark/red fire related raids.

Would love WotA raid been waiting for it even since I read the Novels in late TBC

[Korru]

WoTA will be 4.2

WoTA will be 4.2

That isn't confirmed at all.

what's WoTa

edit: nvm found it war of the ancients

[stgeorge78]

It doesn't look like there will be another raid, it would have to be in the files by now, they are not going to start one from scratch and finish it by the time 4.1 comes out. I think they decided to do ZA/ZG because it was quicker than making another new raid.

wtb abyssal maw raid against queen azshara.

This xpac is called Cataclysm after all. But we will most likey have ZA, ZG, Abysmal maw 5mans. The events for all of them, along with Firelands' 5 bosses BH's boss.
They also seem to be introducing a Blue dragon, Tarecgosa Intro, which could lead to the crowning of the new aspect of magic Kelecgos.

No raid, they already said that azshara wont be a raid in this xpac at blizzcon.

Abyssal Maw imo

Azshara won't show up in cata, confirmed by blue.

[Kalcheus]

War of the Ancients seems to be a big possibility because of all the references to it. The Tarecgosa reference might indicate a Sarth/Malygos/Ony style raid.

Abyssal Maw imo

That was already confirmed to be a 5 man. It won't be a raid.

My vote goes towards ZG, never got to run it at 60 (although I plowed through it at 70) it's the only raid they took out (unless I'm mistaken.) so my money is on ZG

Unless they change their mind of course. 3 new 5-man dungeons in a single content patch seems almost too good to be true

erm, it's a dungeon now?
WotA will 'most likely' be 4.2.
Not sure whether they will release anything with Firelands. The 5 mans give epics (albeit 353 level) so whether or not they will release another raid along with the 7 bosses in the firelands (http://www.wowpedia.org/Firelands)

They definitely should, seeing as they said they didn't want each tier to focus solely in one raid and didn't want to put all raid content into one raid (which we can see from Tier 11 content), but whether they can conjure something up apart from these 5 mans.. it's debatable

[Mawnix]

Since when have they released two high content raids in one patch?

Firelands is supposed to have 7 bosses, and considering that they're also releasing 3 New Heroic dungeons, plus other things, seems sufficient.

Also, the item levels of the stuff that drops for the Firelands and what not at 391..the highest level item currently is 372..these instances are going to a very hard.

ICC 5 mans would like to say, "Hello."

Just read the patch notes after posting here.

The current raids have 13 bosses, we expect 13 not 7

This. As I said in my post, Blizzard wanted to get away from the 'one raid per tier' setup and split the 13 bosses in between 2-3 raids. Since Firelands is 7, we should really expect another one with 6 or do the same as current tier and go down the 4 + 2 route.

Wasn't there supposed to be a raid/instance in the Dwarven place in Hillsbrad? (Dun Garok). I thought I remember something to do with that at Blizzcon 2009.

I can't believe Uldum has no raid other than Throne of the 4 Winds. Remember all the hype pre-Cata about the "secret weapon" hidden inside of Uldum? Really turned out to be not so exciting if they don't do anything else with it (such as a raid).
