6 Reasons We Can’t Wait to Dive Into World of Warcraft: Classic
Challenging Dungeons
Many players still have nightmares over Dire Maul, a dungeon that is run-of-the-mill in modern World of Warcraft but was a rite of passage in Classic. Classic is made up of several of these so-called rites of passage, normally around dungeons. In modern day, an instance can be cleared in roughly 20-30 minutes with little to no effort, a far cry from the game’s dungeon origins.
Each dungeon had to be meticulously planned out, especially in terms of crowd control and pulling packs. A mistimed polymorph or pull from the tank could spell death, with player’s having to react on the fly as their carefully curated plans would – more often than not – dissipate.
Thankfully, challenging content in Classic is matched by reward; despite many memories of gritting our teeth in nigh on impossible dungeons, they always felt worth it due to the loot gained and memories made along the way.
