leak, Ulduar

Note: my post about these changes on MMO Champion were deleted. Perhaps they have a policy against posting leaked info, I don’t know. Send this to your friends if you find it interesting since apparently large WoW sites won’t be allowing it to be posted.

This is a very, very early Ulduar info leak and is completely unverified. This comes as third hand info and doesn’t come from any other sites so take it with a huge grain of salt. However with the price of unreliability, you get the benefit of super early info! Here it is:

• Encounters: 12 + 1 optional (Viscidus like hard mode only boss) in Ulduar.
• There will be multiple levels in Ulduar. The final “level” (underground) will be like Sapphiron + Kel’thuzad, separated from the rest. This section will likely never be seen or tested on the PTR (think Kil’jaeden).
• The beginning is linear and then everything but the final two bosses is linear.
• Arena style encounter. You fight 4 of 8 potential bosses. Two of these can be selected by the raid, at least two are random. Up to all 4 can be random. 6 of the 8 bosses can be chosen, 2 are only available from random picks. There is a Violet Hold type achievement for having killed all 8 bosses.

Sounds extremely interesting! People have been asking for an arena style raid encounter ever since the debut at the BRD arena. It’ll be cool to have to adapt strategies for each set of bosses. I’m sure many early kills will be based off selecting the two easiest bosses and then dealing with whatever two random ones you get. It’s also exciting to see there will be at least an encounter or two which won’t be tested at all on the PTR. Ulduar is already shaping up to be an exciting and new experience.
