New/Custom Dungeons?

Oohforf · 11-15-2009, 07:06 PM

That sounds like fun...I think regular WoW should do that too. :P

Spend your time on more important stuff ;) I'd like some custom instances aswell, but use your vauleable time and resources to create WC3:WoW the closest yo uget to pre TBC! ^^

Craka_J · 11-27-2009, 04:43 AM

There will be no:

Burning Crusade
Wrath of the Lich King
Cataclysm

Not ever. Unless you want to spend another 400 years on it.

I like the idea of adding more Instances to it.. it would make the game more appealing to those who have passed WoW basically and finished Endgame content.

If you ever need ideas IF custom instances are being added, im full on creativity, and id be happy to help :)

Craka_J · 11-27-2009, 10:42 PM

I'm surprised to see you're still a part of the modding community Shadowz, and yeah, maybe I'll go around for advice and ideas for instances when the time comes. But as suggested above, we have more important matters to take care of first, such as systems and cool features, spells, and terraining the noob zones still.

Shadowz123 · 11-28-2009, 02:49 AM

Why's that Cracka_J?

And yeah i know, it'll be easier to finish everything for WoW first off, then add custom material.

Craka_J · 11-28-2009, 04:49 AM

Never see you around the community, never posting at least. Nor in chat.

Shadowz123 · 11-28-2009, 05:18 AM

Yeah im more active then ever before considering right now i don't have a job.. i go in chat sometimes and i rarely post.. but yeah.. Its good to see that someone actually recognizes me i guess :P

naRna · 11-29-2009, 12:02 PM

It would probably take a lot of imagination to get it to feel like WoW. I like the idea of custom dungeons though, interested in what you have planned.

Craka_J · 11-29-2009, 09:24 PM

Yeah, I have a few custom instance ideas in my head and even know what I'll be doing for an end-game instance boss fight. But, as said, the team will first tend to at least three real instances from World of Warcraft. The ones I have on my list are Ragefire Chasm, The Stockades, and... I really hate Wailing Caverns, so probably Deadmines... I hate the Alliance, so there's no favoritism. Deadmines is my favorite instance in the entire game and I love running it, so might as well get the ones I enjoy out of the way first.

All these years, I've never done the Stockade. Apparently, on my Alliance server, all instances are closed and you cannot get into them. This is due to the low population of our server and it is a low priority to WoW.

I haven't seen shadow in forever haha, surprised as well to see him around still.

This is definitely something that will keep the game running for people later on in future updates of course. Something that should be added later on (If you guys aren't worked to death at the end of it all)

God I hated stockades... Most ally just skipped stockades and grinded/quested in WF till around 16-18 to do DM.

Hopefully when you make Dire maul you will be able to get the materials and of course bypass all the bosses so you can get the tribute chest!?

Shadowz123 · 11-30-2009, 06:40 AM

Haha wow, i never actually knew so many people remembered me.. Im always here, usually just hang around, but ive been more active nowadays due to the fact i now don't have a job and my new Horror map i released. in my Signature.

Blizzard left out really awsome forces in Pre TBC. And yes, if you do make tiers, you should extend into T4, like Asomath said. And a problem I find, is that a lot of the tiers come purely from one instance.
T0.5: ZG only
T1: Molten Core only.
T2: Most from BWL, 1 from Onyxia
T2.5: All from AQ40
T3: Naxxaramous Only

But, if we added some new ones...

T.5: The peices from ZG, added by peices from a new 20 man raid, Uldum
T1: Half is from Molten Core, the other half along with item peices of the set come from a 40 man raid, Stonemother's Sanctum
T2: 1/3 is from BWL, 1/3 is from Onyxia's Lair (stretched out, more bosses) the last 1/3 is from a new 40 man raid, Mount Hyjal
T2.5: Half is from AQ40, the other half is from a new 40 man raid called "Caverns of Time"
T3: Half is from Naxxaramous, the other half is from a raid called "Invasion of the Scourge" (Will explain)
T4: All is from one, very long 40 man raid, (It's kind of split up into 3 raids, but they are techniquely all one raid) Called the Maelstrom

The new raids I mentioned
Uldum
This is not actually all of Uldum, It's the first line of defence in Uldum. The rest is behind a massive gate that no one can open.
"Within these halls, lies the secrets of the Titans. Within these halls, lies your death"
~Furlorn, Watcher of Stone

Stone Mother's Path
This is a Raid in Descolace, which is basicly like Molten core with it's below BRD only Stone Mother's Path is below Maraudon.
"Did my brother's fall? Yes. Will I fall? Never again! Come and fight!"
~The Stonemother (it's one of the Old God's luitenants, like Ragnoros. I forgot the actually name of her, so atm she's just Stonemother :P)

Mount Hyjal
Mount Hyjal is a raid where Players travel to the corrupted lands of Mount Hyjal, where archimonde attempted to siphon the powers of the World Tree. In his wake of chaos, lies forgotton horrors...
"No quote"
~Someone without a quote

Caverns of Time
This is not the Caverns of Time 5 man dungeons in TBC and wrath of the lich king. This is the Caverns of Times where a war against the Infinate Dragonflight occurs. You are aided by other members of the fight during the raid.
"You cannot outwit time itself, mortals"
~Unknown Leader of the Infinate Dragon Flight
(The last boss looks "similar" to Nozdormadu, adding to the rumor that he is Nozdormadu, but there is no proof. He is not slain, as much as just runs away)

Invasion of the Scourge
This is not as much as a raid, as much as an event. After players defeat the impossible chalanges of Naxxaramous, they are attuned to this Event. They can start the event and will face the unlimited horrors of the scourge attempt to retake the Citidel.
"This land is mine, not one spark of life shall remain"
~The Lich King
(Again, players see him, but they don't fight him. Infact, at the end of the dungeon, he presents himself, unleashes a boss, and then he watches. After the boss dies, he says)
"Bah... we shall meet again... and be warned... Naxxaramous WILL be retaken!"

Maelstrom
Taking a boat to the Maelstrom, (Kind of like a cinematic, they crash in the tempest of it) They get a debuff which will decrease their stats, you know, cus they're weakened by the tempest. In this dungeon, they will fight foes such as Azhara, queen of the Naga.
"Visitorsss... The lassssst time I had compony wasss... Defend the maelssstrom! Thessse mortalsss shall be consssumed by our power"
~Azhara

Just ideas. I find they kinda gay myself, so yea. Don't add them if they seem gay to you too.

Sorry I don't have any boss fight ideas or anything, it's kinda late :

Didn't think about separating the tier drops. A good idea in my opinion. Warhammer Online did that and it was nice because you can search for a dungeon that drops what you need, rather than doing a dungeon that drops multiple things and has an even greater chance of not being your drop. Will probably look into it, but we'll see.

(big wall of text incoming...)

I know this is quite an old thread, but I think it's new enough for me to put some action into it, because I believe that this is an interesting thread.

I do and I don't like the idea. I liked Evillizard's idea about creating the new instances and spreading out the WoW tiers, but I think it also may have some downfall.

I feel in MY opinion that this should go as wow-like as possible all the way up to tier 3. Once you have all the vanilla wow stuff re-created, then you could start adding custom instances and raids, but only after it is released.

For example; say we've finished it all. All the way to Naxxramas and T3. I know this is a Cataclysm reference, but I really loved it, and it really doesn't tie into the Cataclysm, WOTLK, or TBC lore. Heroic Remade Dungeons. Deadmines for example. First instance I did, and I loved it. Recreate a version for people in...T1 gear. Doing the Deadmines will get you non-set items, but epics. (Gosh, I know I didn't realize but I'm thinking way ahead right now for the project) Anyways, they'd get epics from Heroic Deadmines to help them do BWL/Onyxia, T2. So they'd have T.1 and some extra non-set items like bracers from the heroic.

Then say, we have a Heroic Shadowfang Keep. Same idea; probably would want T2 to do it, gets you epics for AQ...Naxx.

I am thinking ahead of the game, but I guess the main gist of my post is...(no, not for a huge wall of text)...to say that I really think that custom stuff should be pretty relevant to...I guess the lore but not bring them away from that feel of playing Vanilla WoW.

Whew. Sorry about the long post.
