U9/U10

Last week Turbine announced their plans for update 9 (in December) and update 10 (in February)... and the raiding community responded accordingly.


1/6 for Sammath Gul, guys! Guys? Anyone? I can't be the only one who's looking forward to running that at lvl 85!

  1. That's my thoughts in the picture, right there.

    Also, is that Sapience? If so, then he does have hair...

    1. No, I was just too lazy to bother with drawing detailed clothes and hair and whatever.

  2. This is pretty accurate. People including myself were pissed. Then they mentioned DG cluster--which I had heard rumors of but thought it was trolling.

    But I guess BG + 3 * new bosses = our expectations
    when
    expectations = new wing raid the likes of ToO or OD.

    1. The single boss raids could still be fairly interesting, if they're like the Vile Maw. However, if they're like Draigoch, then I predict seeing a lot of angry raiders in the forums.

    2. I hear they each have their own trash associated with 'em so more like a solitary wing than a lair raid. Pure rumor, of course.

      I also hear BG got the same scaling treatment as Helegrod, aka it aint quite right and errs on the side of faceroll. If that's so--and also taking into account that people will likely catch their carrots faster like we talked about--then I'm having doubts about how entertained we raiders will be for the next couple months.

    3. Well, apparently the loot was still pretty good, so perhaps that and nostalgia will keep people going.. for a few weeks or so. I'd run SG every day, for example, if there was a good reason for doing that.

      I guess expecting BG to be scaled and still be challenging was unrealistic anyway. /sigh

  3. OD will be scaled for update 10 also. And it will be split into 3 wings i think. So Disease+Poison, Wound+Fear and Shadow (Ivar)+ Gortheron maybe?

    Pluse a new 6-man and 3 new raids.. from Dale..

    i'm hyped!

    1. Well, there will be stuff to do at least then :) Stuff that at least pretends to give us something :D

    2. That from the Palantir grapevine?

    3. Yeah, I heard about it too, it sounds quite interesting. I guess I will find out what it feels like when your favourite raid gets nerfed, lol.

      Then again, BG is pretty much just like it used to be when you do it on T2, so all the people who said it's waaayyy too easy probably only farmed it on T1.
