I doubt that. But I hope they've kept track of testers who submitted useful feedback!

Jeffrey Kaplan: [...] So what I want to do in Northrend is to take Naxxramas in all of its glory, scale it down to the 25 man raid size, and then take the difficulty and retune it—obviously we’d tune for level 80, it would no longer be tuned for level 60, since that would be a little silly and it wouldn’t be a lot of fun for people at that point—but I want to put rewards in there that are very exciting to level 80 players, but make it the entry-level raid, very accessible, tune the encounters so that there’s something for everybody to do, and let the majority get a chance to see that content that they hadn’t seen before.

Title: Re: The Wrath of the Lich King
Post by: kawe on August 07, 2007, 05:42:47 pm: Oh wow, I didn't think they'd actually retune it for 80, thought 70 if we're lucky. I wonder if our experience there will then actually come in handy, or if the encounters will be so different/easy that it won't matter anyway?
Title: Re: The Wrath of the Lich King
Post by: Goza on August 08, 2007, 10:42:50 am: They will want to spend as little manpower as necessary to adapt it, so it's quite a sure shot that the encounters will stay as close to their 60 versions as possible.

Title: Re: The Wrath of the Lich King
Post by: Daekesh on August 08, 2007, 02:29:22 pm: People have been screaming for the old content to be redone for the next expansion. I'm glad they're listening!
Title: Re: The Wrath of the Lich King
Post by: Grishnag on August 08, 2007, 08:06:34 pm: naxx bieng the most fun instance to do since they implimented it for me anyway but i REALY hope they do it it would be so so so awesome
Title: Re: The Wrath of the Lich King
Post by: Inphyy on August 09, 2007, 08:58:40 pm: I just hope they don't make the old content mandatory(sp?), meaning we have to farm it to progress with other dungeons. Kinda wondering if they make it equal to another instance time/reward wise, so if you get bored with one instance you can pick the other. But I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Really interessting to say the least!

Title: Re: The Wrath of the Lich King
Post by: Daekesh on August 10, 2007, 11:52:39 am: Don't forget, they are making it an entry level raid, not an "endgame" raid. It won't be harder than it is now, tactic-wise. If anything, it'll be easier.

Awesomeness, I hope we will get some practice on KelThuzad before it comes :)

Title: Re: The Wrath of the Lich King
Post by: Daekesh on August 12, 2007, 01:16:28 pm: Yes. Unfortunately none of the good people want to come. Guess we'll never get to Sapph/KT :(
Title: Re: The Wrath of the Lich King
Post by: Gidra on August 12, 2007, 02:15:37 pm: Maybe they are scared from other pug ppl. Maybe if we make some serious note that from next week (for example) we will invite only players with some playing history of naxx or something like that.

Post by: Gaeios(Graxlos) on August 12, 2007, 03:01:36 pm: I think doing it on a saturday makes it somewhat hard.

DINGDINGDINGDINGDING!

:D

I actually wasn't scared of that part before, I just wasn't interested. Having seen the news it'll be re-implemented at 80, and having time to kill, I came along on that last one, and now I really am afraid to go near anything with players I don't recognise or know of, and not for the wrong reasons XD

My massive fear of PuG players has been thoroughly renewed!
