The Skywall

[ohshift]

my favorite zone so far in cataclysm.
mulgore/tb was my favorite in vanilla, nagrand in bc, none in wotlk, but goddamn, skywall if really beautiful

Even though it looks unfinished, I think that is pure awesome. Reminds me a little of Dalaran as well, though hopefully it'll have better music.

...and won't lag as much. Oh wait.

something like Conflux music theme from Heroes of Might and Magic III would suit here IMO

[Medivh]

It's Inner sanctum of AION?

[Rakavys]

I cried when I realized that this we be a raid and not the new dal...

[Shoob]

The skywall reminds me so much of Aion...
I know it sounds stupid, but that place truly was magnificent.
Especially when you looked down.

I really hope the textures make that place gleam in the sun.

The buildings and landscapes make it look unreal.

havne't read through 5 pages cuz my internet is slow... but...

does anyone think the giant semi-spheres reminds us of STARGATE?
I swear those are a bunch of stargates that are in the middle of "going off" (forgot the exact term, something about event horizon or other. Ronark help me out here? by your avatar i'm guessing you watch it too).

[ScorchHellfire]

So I'm a little confused... In the lore, Al'akir (the lord of the wind elementals) is said to be the least powerful of the elemental lords and yet he has his own raid while the Abyssal Maw and Deephome only have 5 mans... the fuck?!

I believe the access point will be in 1k needles.

Actually I'm pretty sure that the entrance is that giant tornado in Darkshore...

[whetherman]

Its a raid instance if i remember correctly, which really sucks considering how amazing it looks.

Should be appreciated in numbers

[cpnshrike]

erm, why?

Because I remember taking a look at a map of Azeroth with color coded zone changes on here a while back. and they were using green I believe for new instances and skywall was right above thousand needles. I could of course be wrong but that is what I remember.

[ElAmigo]

That is exactly what I was hoping the Skywall would look like, some kind of beautiful floating fortress. Awesome. I'm reminded of City in the Sky in Zelda.

this was what instantly popped into my head when i saw my first screen shot of this place

WOW!

I rarely agree with music choices on the internet but you nailed it!

If the music isn't like that, I will turn off WoW music and play this one on loop!

Yes

Lookin guud omg

[rollie9]

This is also one of my favorite places so far.
Looks really awesome, would be a nice hangout spot if it wasn't an instance.

Wait...I could have sworn that they were getting some just not at launch. So do we know for a fact they wont? I know we have this, Grim, Fire lands, and Blackwing Descent supposedly coming on launch...

[Navi]

Skytown anyone?

[Bigbean]

Strange... I was thinking the opposite
I hate neutral cities and all the lag. This place is really awesome anyway, though it could use some more spikes here and there... Garrosh stylin'

Who's to say we won't open up a raid for the Abyssal Maw later on? We can't say we know what order they're gonna present the dungeons in...did Blizz say that Neptulon would be in one of the 5 mans?

"Neptulons Rise" in one of the vash'jir 5 mans. Also if he was a boss for a future patch, his model wouldn't be ready in alpha.
