Ahn'Qiraj Terrace (---)
Currently an incomplete copy of the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj with a WotLK expansion requirement. It could easily just end up as a phasing map.
Levels: ??.
Bosses: Unknown.
Map ID: 734.
Current State: Unfinished.

Uh-oh. I wonder what this could be... I hope it's more than just a bit of tidying up.

[zeal]

After thinking about it more, and seeing as it's coords match kalimdor's and how it's a cut out of the raids, i've removed it as it's most likely just a phasing map for new AQ content at some point.

[Nejm]

High Priestess Azil is final boss in The Stonecore and Vortex Pinnacle?

I've checked the achievements and its shown as requirement in both instances in the same time. This is strange o.0 Anyone knows more details on this or has any explanation?

[Defected]

anyone think that blizz will release a huge raid in the future past cata but not into the next expansion? such as how icc and ulduar happened? because this all sounds great but i dont see any huge raid for us to play with

[Tutonious]

that's how they've always added the next tier of raids/content afaik, with patches.

[zeal]

I think Defected was focusing on the idea of hopefully getting a big instance like Naxx, ICC and Ulduar later down the line rather than sticking solely with this new many small raids design.

[Deleted]

ah now i get it :>
well, that would be good indeed

[Golden Yak]

Hmm, Cataclysm event bosses. I'm intrigued...

The dungeon bosses are all bosses we've seen before, but with new titles (Ka'ju Gazh'rilla, har har). Beefed up by the Old Gods perhaps?

And Sarsarun sounds new. Air elemental, I guess. At least we know what the Ahn'Qiraj terrace is for now.

[zeal]

Updated with the classic dungeons and their levels (Levels listed are the actual dungeon level ranges, not the LFG requirement ones.)

[CrazyKenny]

Ain't it Blackwing Descent?

[zeal]

Indeed it is. :x Ty for the catch.

[soka]

i wonder how they get ideas for new enchounters

[Barani]

Thank you for posting this stuff I've been curious about the new raids for a while and keep up the good work

[Nesingwary-Eliada]

I wonder if they will introduce a Naga-style raid at some point

I'm willing to bet you'll get your fill of Naga style raids, Naga style mobs, and Nage style dungeons once we actually head into the Maelstrom after Cataclysm is done and Deathwing is kaput.

[MAGAmobile]

Should probably update this to reflect that all of the normal instances are open for testing. No heroics or raids at the moment, however.

[AndrewMiller]

That was an excellent compilation, really good work you have my respect. I would like to suggest that You guys go and watch the funny video walkthrough about Halls of Originations which just looks... really mystical in my opinion.

You can find the video on YouTube by searching for halls of origination (its the top result). Have fun!

Maybe the link could be included in the starting post (i don't know if it is possible)

[Sprizty]

I'm really looking forward to getting my teeth sunk in to all of these!

*Eyes glaze over and starts remembering when it was a challenge to do dungeons*

[subtletuna]

Very good compilation.. thanks

[oinchadoom]

War of the Ancients! Im cant wait for this raid!!!
