Important - The image plugin has been disabled now that testing is done, it will be back shortly with a bunch of bugfixes. Thanks to all the users for the feedback!

Patch 3.3 Instance Screenshots
It's time for a small preview of all the instances introduced with Patch 3.3. Please note that these screenshots are from a sandbox, there isn't any monster or interactive item and instances WILL look different on live and PTR servers. This is just a way to give you an idea of how it looks.

The Forge of Souls (Dungeon - 1st Wing)

Pit of Saron (Dungeon - 2nd Wing)

Halls of Reflection (Dungeon - 3rd Wing)

Icecrown Citadel (Raid Instance)

The Frozen Throne without texture looks awesome lol.

[Expnt]

Woo epic pictures!

[peknoman]

frostwing lair before the throne, classic dragon before big boss ^^, but isn't it syndragosa lair? :S

[Gajan]

Looks awesome, am stoked

First of all great job on the site, this post is NO way a slight to you or anyone here.

Where is the instance btw? I've been around quite a bit of Icecrown, and I can't stay on long enough to find out. Seems to me the most important thing, and I've been looking around cursory at Blizzard or here, doesn't seem to list it.

Second the changes that have been sneaking in, makes me wonder if your slipping a bit, I was totally taken aback by the fact you can skip the Pagentry in the hToc. I play on the ptr and read the site like every 5 mins. I know I must be missing stuff, anyways normally everyone is on par, and I check here before i check blizzard.

Boubi! Put up the various voiceovers from the instances!

Theres at least one imporant line spoken by Sargaeras himself: "You have failed me, Varimathras(sp?)"

That audio clip is from the Wrathgate questline for the Horde. At the end of the chain when retaking Undercity an "unknown" voice yells that out to Varimathras and the only way the player-base learned the voice belonged to Sargeras was by datamining the filename. I Don't know the exact file but it isn't a new part of Icecrown, but rather the questline I just mentioned.

Halls of Reflection - Sword's Rest

I bet this is going to be Quel'delar rest, and somehow, Lich King's image will be going to defend it from the newcomers. What do you think? Or it might be some questline finishing in finding the sword?

Can someone tell me WHY THE FUCK would Arthas leave his sword (Frostmourne) on A PEDESTAL IN ANOTHER ROOM?!?!?

BECAUSE HE CAN!!!!

Those spiderwebs in the raid-screens... It can only mean one thing...

The Argent Coliseum was merely a setback!

[Badkarma]

Always looks 10x as shiny when released on live.

Halls of Reflection - Sword's Rest

Actually, you forge the sword. The pedestal in the last room is where the lich king keeps Frostmourne.

Everything is to clean for me.
I hope there will be some objects.
Rocks, dust, trash, anything...

You basically need a Dwarf there named Muradin Bronzebeard. Who would notice a inscription on the dias next to the sword that reads 'Whomsoever takes up this blade shall wield power eternally just as the blade rends flesh so must power scar the spirit(?). "The blade is cursed, let's get the hell out of here. I remember it as 'this place has a bad omen this a foolish quest and a bad place, leave this be and walk away.'

Honestly from a player point of view, would you even touch the sword, or even think about it, if you had half the chance?

This looks awesome. But I have to say that i'm alittle disappointed on The Frozen Throne. Too much snow, and all white, and too little ice/crystal. It should be more like in the Trailer!

On a side note, isen't that the "boarding platform" to the battleships I see in Pic 19?

[BloodAndFear]

they look epic! just epic

[2g4u]

Here is a killmovie of the first boss in Pit of Saron. Its done after 17 DCs on 1st trash pull and I have never played a pally and/or healer before. Also sry for the constant jumping, but I was too nervous after 6-7 grps which gave up after 3-4 DCs and a minutes long explanations how to enter the instance...

P.S. This world first is a joke :P

Uh...

It's untextured, which means it's gonna be a pure white display.

I'm sure it'll look better once it has a texture slapped on the geometry.

[Dalien]

I'm loving the architecture and feel to the place... so epic. Some of the best artwork I've seen yet from Bliz, gives me huge hopes for how awesome Grim Batol will be :P
