Raid Sneak Peek - Mogu'shan Vaults, Heart of Fear, Terrace of Endless Spring

One word: fan-gobbing-tastic. Very, very cool; especially Mogushan! The architecture and layout have me all tingly. It will be an amazing sight to see these instances populated, for sure.

Damn Blizz, you scary! Looks amazing.

6 in one, 5 in one, and 3 in the last, as Blizzard said there will be 14 bosses in the first tier of MoP.

They are all going to be with release and are all the same tier. It's similar to the start of Cata. where Blackwing Descent, Bastion of Twilight and Throne of the Four Winds were all the same tier.

So much better than Firelands and DS imo

Oh my god. I may start raiding again.

God I think I just puked up last weeks cassarole, I'm going to burn my eyes out as to never witness this atrocity again. As one can guess I'm kidding. I really like the art, Incidentally closer to MoP announcement I said that running off of new lore might allow us to get more Ulduar style raids

mantid raid is a lot like Bastion of Twilight

I agree man totally amazing also it has the feeling of Ulduar atmosphere because it's Titans creations and stuff.

Graphics isn't everything when it comes to a video game mate. Gameplay and enjoyment is way more important than graphics. For example, I enjoy playing the old Final Fantasy series (episode 4,5, and 6) more than the new ones like 10 or 13 even though the graphics is nothing compare between the old FF series and the new ones.

Infinitely better looking than Cataclysm's model of lava, dark rooms and more lava. Dying for footage of these in action.I suspect Heart of Fear is a partial realization of Blizzard's Azjol'Nerub ambitions. Mogu'Shan Vaults reminds me of Halls of Stone/Lightning/Ulduar in the "mystic Titan facility" and those looked great.I wonder if Terrace of Endless Spring will be like VoA/BH in that new bosses are added each patch. Looks too beautiful and spacious for just two bosses.

I have always wanted to raid the Chinese buffet. And now I can.#hungry

I am going to raid the shit out of the Mogu raid.

Seems slightly biased, because of the 5 raids only Firelands had lava. The only dark rooms I know of are two bosses of eight in Dragon Soul.

Amazing. Good job blizzard

Looks like they have done away w/ 1-3 boss raids!! Since i started playing towards the end of Wrath, it'll be nice to get into long instances. DS is fine and all, but it can be cleared in 2 hours. I'd like to see something that takes multiple raid nights. Looks impressive so far

Damn that Mogu raid looks AWESOME! Large and expansive!! The way it should be!

Amazing, no more to say.

The Mantid raid looks like AQ and BoT made love and had a kid.It's a good thing, I can't wait to get in there!

Every time you QQ about this Santa kills and elf?....QQ MOAR SRSLYI about wet my pants, those look so awesome.

It wouldn't surprise me if Terrace of the Endless Spring was the VoA/BH raid of this expansion, given how small and straightforward it is. I can imagine seeing others like:

-Vale of the Eternal Summer
-Meadow of the Eternal Autumn
-Wastes of the Eternal Winter

For example, as the expansion goes on, each awarding gear from their respective tiers.
