An organized Alliance raids made up of members from these forums/friends/guildies and such would be nice. If anyone wants a shammy, hit me up. Oo

I know a bunch of our guys wanted to do something l ike this as well, however a few of our key people have problems on the PTR. If anyone wanted to do some joint runs on the weekend for the duration of the PTR send me a message/reply to this.

Going by the sound files in the data, you face the bosses from the WC3 mission, yes. I forget their names and types, but there are 3 bosses in the data which correspond to the trash heroes fought in the last mission. Just a Dread Lord / Lich / Death Knight, I think... I want to say a Pit Lord too, but I guess not.

Also, it seems likely that you'll get to fight Archimonde in some way, shape, or form. Seems rather absurd to me since he should easily be more powerful than anything ever faced in the game thus far, but whatever.

And there's not a hint of infinite dragons at all, which is kind of odd. Presumably you'd think there'd be some NPC at the beginning of Hyjal trying to explain their influence, but.. I guess not?

There was a pitlord present in the War3 mission. I don't believe there was a death knight.

If I remember correctly the first one was a rather unconspicious Dreadlord, then I can't remember what came first of the Lich (Rage Winterchill) and a Pit Lord, indeed. No Death Knights .. basically there weren't a whole lot of those in the campaigns beside Arthas.

# Anetheron (Dreadlord)

From what I can gather:
1* Defend Human base, reinforced by Orcs / Elves occasionally.. eventually overwhelmed (Portal to Orc base).
2* Orc base assulted from 2 directions... eventually overwhelmed (Portal NE base).
3* Furbolg/Troll mini defences en-route to NE base.
4* NE base assulted... assuming that you have to hold it for x amount of time untill Malfurion's trap is ready.
5* The Summit, if anything is going to be influenced by the Infinate Dragonflight then this will be where it should happen. Archi makes way to tree and yada yada...

Stages 1, 2, & 4 should have the first 3 bosses in them somehow, giving stage 5 to Archimonde.

Unless ofcourse there are any other bosses (Inf-Dragons) that lurk around, although you would assume there would be atleast one. This makes Hyjal up to around a 4-5 boss instance, and potentially short.

I am unsure however how you can kill a boss, and then still be forced to retreat to the next base, but I assume we will soon know how atleast P1-P2 works from people on PTR this week.

Sounds like Mark of Kazzak, so I'm betting he's a Doomguard. That would pretty effectively demonstrate the Legion's variety.

There also might be some infinite dragons who haven't been voiced yet, but it seems more likely that the Infinite Dragonflight's only interference would be making the Legion more powerful so that they kill Malfurion before he sets the trap. Perhaps they're not interested in letting the Legion know they're there?

A GM deathtouched and spawned bosses for a group for testing Mt. Hyjal.

worldofraids.com has the information, here's the direct link - http://boards.worldofraids.com/topic-3678-1.html

The boss order was Rage Winterchill, Antheron, Kaz'Rogal, and Azgalor.

Remember that you will have Jaina, Thrall, Malfurion and Tyrande as well as the bulk of their armies fighting alongside you =)

Noone said you kill him or even engage him either. If you recall from WC3, he kind of kicks your ass all over the place and you dont "win" until you reach the timer and then he climbs up the tree and it assplodes all over him (thanks wisps!).

My bet is they transform your raid into nightelves, ala Durnhold human disguise, have you throw corpses at him until he reaches the tree then make a mad GY zerg rush in wisp form to detonate against the tree! =D

What if there was 5 Treess that you could only click (at the same time) while you were dead that would trigger a whisp attack that does damage to him. Basically every time he kills an NPC that whisp is added to the "whisp attack" thus increasing the dmg he takes.. But everytime he kills an NPC he gets a stacking buff that increases his dmg output(Whisp attack removes buff)... Also the dead clickers can only click it once ever 2 minutes.. Ok .. yeah bad idea.

Need more skullet hunters.

This is probably an oversight. Use the report feature (everyone) to notify them and when they get enough they will fix this, as I agree it doesn't seem right and breaks up the feel of the instance.

Skullet's with mullets?! =O

Ok its been a long day.

Nibinay your almost worse than the dev's we have already! /shoo!

HeHe,
I figure its really the only place they have left to go with encounters.. make dead players have corridnation as well.. I can see it now "Bah dumb druid why did you rez me I needed click that branch first!!"

Well, if you go far back to War3, it should be a mix of ancient protectors and uprooted ancient of wars. Protectors against air/ground and the uprooted ancient of wars against ground units.

who's your daddy?

It is a good day to die

And yeah, Warcraft 2. Warcraft 3 was whos your daddy
