"who doesn't love Mana Tombs?" - spoken by a man who hasn't done the escort quest ten trillion times

Karazhan is still my number 1 raid ever, crazy to think that it has been 17 years.

Love the Fun/Not Fun series. Hope it continues for each expansion.

Karazhan was THE raid for a lot of casual players though. Everything about it is iconic, especially the music.

Botanica was actually my favorite dungeon to do ever because I played a priest. You got to Mind control the dude at the start for a crazy buff and then there were a few different mobs you would MC throughout that their abilities would completely annihilate the packs. I also hated the 2nd boss of Auchenai crypts due to that 300% casting time debuff which just made it super tedious.

If you take gear drops into consideration when talking about dungeons, you shouldn’t forget about one of the coolest looking polearms that drops from the dragon boss in Hellfire Ramparts! When transmog came around in Cata, that weapon was the first thing that came to my mind.

Burning Crusade had some of the best music for the dungeons and raids. Plus arguably the number one raid trailer ever with Zul’Aman.

No way Nixxiom actually played tbc putting Hyjal in Fun 💀

Karazhan had the best memories for me by far. At least the parts when I was sober running it. Drunk Karazhan made it even more fun! Great series looking forward to more

FUN! Watching the latest Nixxiom video NOT FUN! Waiting until the next one ❤love the uploads man

Magister’s Terrace is supposed to be a culmination of the rest of the expansion’s content: Outdoor content with the isle Dungeon design A fight that emulates PvP Last fight uses raid mechanics Great dungeon to cap off the expansion.

Mana Tombs had the best background music.

Any plant/swamp based dungeons are trash, noted lol

Karazhan was my first experience raiding , i played vanilla but i was a super noob but by tbc i was actually max lvl and knew enough about the game to raid. It'll always have a special place in my heart

They basically just designed 4 areas, (coilfang reservoir, hf citadel, tk, and auchindoun) and regurgitated them for multiple dungeons and the raids. Auchindoun has like 1 unique area in the entire series of dungeons (the bridge of souls in Auchenei Crypts) and the rest is just halls.

Great video, I think TBC would be loved by many more people if group buffs were raid-wide and attunements were account-wide.

Slave pens was the best dungeon as the daily HC, fun skips and very rewarding for a good group. Definitely a fun from me😊

I recently did BT for the first time in years to finish the boss kills for trade post task on retail. I had no idea they changed the Den of Mortal Delights mobs until now.

Not sure how I feel about Mana tombs. As a healer it can be pretty annoying if you’re getting mana drained a lot, but I do appreciate a challenge as well

Ooo blood furnace, I remember soloing this place over and over when I was power leveling my DK

I started in Wrath, BUT I only had up to BC so my character was capped at 70. As such, I wound up putting together a lot of BC dungeons and raids for fun once I couldn't lvl anymore. Karazhan was and still is my favorite. I loved everything about it. The backstory, associated characters, putting together the key, learning all the fights, shortcuts, how it just got progressively more surreal the further up you went, until at the peak it was like it was half in a totally different reality as opposed to how it appears from the outside. I've done loads of other raids since but nothing ever tops the atmosphere of that place. Multiple expansions later, I'd come back on a way more powerful character just to walk through it again. It's just such an... experience.

I agree, except: - Hyjal: Definitely not fun imo, regardless of wc3 or not. Was cool to clear the first few times, but eventually it became even more boring than Molten Core, simply because of how long and repetitive the trash waves were + the fact you couldn't make it end much faster yourself, no matter how good your raid was. -SSC: Very memorable. This raid did have a lot of trash which made it a little exhausting, but had some incredibly fun and unique boss fights. Leotheras who switched between human and demonic forms, The Lurker Below that you needed someone with max fishing to fish out and Morogrim, which was a cool dps/healing check. However, Vashj was the gem of this raid being a very difficult fight for the time requiring proper coordination & good dps on P2 while the last phase was chaotic with the MCs and green pools everywhere. - Slave Pens: I find this one fun because it was arguably the shortest dungeon in tbc if you did the various skips and overall the easiest heroic, usually the first one fresh dinged chars did. A Breath of fresh air compared to the difficulty of BM, Arcatraz, etc.

when I first ran hyjal in tbc classic I loved it, on raid night 3, I was done with it.

I think BC had the best dungeons to introduce for classic wow at least. It gives you such a “dungeon” feeling that wrath kind of gives but not quite the way that bc does.

I like the fun no fun lists. I like to look at them in terms of max level players returning to run them solo.

Some guildies and I would farm slave pens daily for badges and the daily I think. We had it down to a really smooth run so it’s a good memory for me. :)

I liked mount hyjal a lot during tbc classic. Probably because i was a seeding warlock so i got to see a lot of pretty numbers and even being undergeared it was fun to compete against zoncd out mages and other locks

I absolutely adore TBC dungeons and raids. It's the only expansion where I actually like all of the dungeons and love every raid (except hyjal). I love questing in the zones too. TBC is also the only expansion where I leveled one alt after the other and actually geared them up at max level without getting bored. I don't know what it is but the pacing (duration of dungeons/raids, how fast you gear up, etc) in TBC just feels perfect to me (and the aestethic of course). A bit faster than Vanilla and a bit slower than Wrath. I actually really dislike how all the dungeons in Wrath are just an AoE rush fest and how all of the gear looks the same. I never played og Vanilla/TBC/Wrath so I only know Classic but I have to say out of the 3 of them I loved TBC the most. 10/10 would play again some day

I remember healing, like, half these dungeons on Holy Paladin was nearly impossible, ESPECIALLY Magister’s Terrace.

You seen Azeroth at War yet? I saw they have necromancer class. Figured you might have already but just in case

TBC was a really cool and really good looking and designed expansion. The zones looked awesome

Overall I'd agree. Hyjal is on the fence for me. I feel like a CoT dungeon was missed though, or was the burning of strathholm added later?

Hello Nix and the rest of the guys from the chat i need your help with wow related subject. I recently quit retail wow for obvious reasons and im looking for a private server to fill my wow addiction my main focus is pvp mainly casual. I try a bit warmane but is heavy pw2 and i have to pay a lot of money in the store and buy gear to compete for pvp and i thought to try turtle wow dont get me wrong great server if you like to pve or rp but pvp sucks there. Any suggestions are more than welcome

You should do a quest chain review next

Nixxiom seems to get lost in dungeons a lot.

18 or 19 were fun?

I never understood what people don't like about Hyjal. Just being there with Jaina and Thrall at that legendary moment is great.

Fun fact: Illidan made the Den of Mortal Delights in the Black Temple as a reward to his loyal followers. However, Akama saw this as a desecration of the Temple of Karabor, which is part of the reason why Akama eventually betrayed him. I just find it funny that part of Illidan's downfall is directly linked to him wanting to give his soldiers pussy.

Weird, I never knew Black Temple was not the last raid of the expansion.

love the content

love these

Honestly KZ blew my mind back in 07. I had never seen a raid like that. KZ and ZA are my top 2 to this day

Hillsbrad : Fun Welp can't share this video with guildies. (Herald of the Titans run flashbacks) some of us had to runs Hillsbrad a 100 some odd times cause the gear we needed refused to drop.

I love the Underbog though D:

be me, chilling in the Underbog suddenlt out of nowhere: *THE BLACK STALKER* what was Blizzard trying to tell us?

Steamvaults def place into Fun category esp when you know the waterwalking skip with a hunter+sham in the group so you can waterwalking+aspect of the pack thru 1/2 of it never seen a quiet chat when a group first gets introduced to it.

Bro I would play a TBC era server that was nothing but preraid gearing and kara. I don't know what it is, but I fucking love that phase of TBC.

wait.... did they fruitbowl blacl temple????

Karazhan was the sole reason i played TBC classic, that raid is perfection

I think this is your most accurate video yet.

Makes me miss playing wow, I haven’t played in over 7/8 years

Yep pretty much point for point in my list too. Coilfang overall just feels like a slog to get through and was overall very meh. Going through SSC in Classic just felt worse than I remembered it and somehow I ended up enjoying Battle for Mount Hyjal more than I remembered, which is bizarre to me but hey it is what it is. I'll give it to Slave Pens for at least being the best of the Coilfang bunch. Plus it has Ahune The Frost Lord during Midsummer Festival

Kara and the Isle stuff. The rest you can keep.

Hjyal Summit was fun... the first 5-10 times... after that it got TEDIOUS AF, also you showed the Armani Battle Bear, the reskinned version for Cata, not the Armani War Bear you got in TBC..

It would be amazing with a classic tbc era server.

Ah man, hating on some of my favorite dungeons of ALL TIME. I absolutely love the Zangarmarsh dungeons. Still to this day, TBC is one of my favorite experiences ever with a video game. As far as raids go, TBC set the standard for Bliz moving forward with this one.. nothing more to say, the raids were next level.

9:21 7? or 6

Before watching this, I admit that TBC had almost no "not fun" instances! The Battle For Mount Hyjal however... only instance that stands out to me as horrible. :)

I only disagree with Botanica and Mechanar, but maybe it was the pugs I had lmao

"Run away, little girl. Run away." - Fun!

Not a fan of Coilfang Reservoir, I see :D

Ah yes, the Blood Elves magical pool of lemonade.

Hyjal was very fun if you were an AoE caster with a good paladin tank, or were the paladin tank. Anyone else, regardless of WCIII nostalgia just wanted Billy to stop running through fire or Joe to remember to use his fucking tear of Elune

TBC remains my favorite expansion. Kinda sad we can't play it rn.

I mostly agree with the raids part (maybe except that TK: Eye and Hyjal are not that fun, just like SSC, but you agree on that at least). However I couldn't disagree more on the dungeons part. In general I strongly dislike the tBC dungeons due to the shortness and lack of peculiarity compared to vanilla dungeons. Most of them are designed in a conveyor belt manner and feels too artificial which destroys the whole fantasy/RPG feeling (especially the ones in the Coilfang Reservoir and Auchindoun). So here is my list ([+] means FUN, [-] means NOT FUN, [+/-] means neutral) HF Ramparts: [+/-] a very short starter dungeon, nothing memorable, nothing bad. Blood Furnace: [-] endless trashing with loud red orcs, only 3 bosses Slave Pens: [-] unfriendly atmosphere... I can't really explain, but I really hated this place. Underbog: [+] huge amount of boring trash between the first and second boss, but at least there are 4 bosses and for one reason or another I enjoyed this dungeon more than most tBC dungeons. Mana Tombs: [+/-] Nothing particularly bad, but I don't like the papermen and the instance is just boring. Auchenai Crypts [+/-] Now this is an ambivalent dungeon. Very repetitive tunnels and only 2 bosses but those 2 bosses are kinda unique and the Bridge of Souls is epic. Old Hillsbrad Foothills [-] It is fun to do once, definitely not fun to do more than once. Sethekk Halls [--] Worst dungeon of whole tBC. Only 2 bosses (unless druid quest), no flavor, no fantasy just boring tunnels and dirty birdmen. Very effortless design. Steam Vault [+/-] Nothing special, but somehow I enjoyed it more than most tBC dungeons. Shadow Labyrith [+] Same boring tunnels as the other Auchindoun dungeons, but there are more bosses which are actually fun, and Murmur is really epic. Shattered Halls [--] Insane amount of trash, very long for only 3 bosses, boring atmosphere. Not fun. The Botanica [+] most bosses of all the tBC dungeons, more diverse environment and bosses then other TK dungeons. Mechanar [-] disgusting pink Barbie world, nothing memorable. Arcatraz [-] same as Mechanar. Millhouse Manastorm brings a little flavor, but that's not enough to redeem this place. Black Morass [-] auto pilot mode. Not fun. Magister's Terrace: [++] Best tBC dungeon. Though still rather short, not as artificial and superficial as the other tBC dungeons. Very good atmosphere. You feel that you are the part of something.

Coilfang reservoir clearly not fun.

In conclusion, coilfang reservoir is suck. It's even pain in the ass if you're died during the encounter.

I liked all of TBC, would have been a better idea to rate them from 1 to 10 imo. And no im not saying that with nostalgia, i genuinely had fun all across TBC, now would i want to play and experience it again? No...life goes on, so do i.

Mana Tombs fun? Healing that place is a bloody nightmare in certain groups. I know Nixxiom is a DK, but I'm surprised how opposite our opinions are so far. D:

I miss TBC. If classic wow has proven one thing, it's tbc > wrath. It was just the perfect blend of classic and difficulty

Oh gosh i wish they would have kept like 2 or 3 TBC realms instead of turning all of them into wrath

Want wait for legion

I'd put shattered halls(too simple, its a straight corridor the whole dg) + karazhan(it took my group 3+ hours to clear this crap) in NOT FUN and push BOTANICA to FUN(loved the different types of mobs)

Hyjal summit is just like old hilsbrad, you just do it once/twice and that's it.

Don't know is there are stakes at the video being this short, but you could spend more time with each entry, at least highlighting cool bosses or setpieces in the future.

Quick reminder that paying for add-ons is against TOS!

Hellfire/Mana Tombs/Auchenai/Old BF/Shadow Lab/Shattered Halls/Botanica/Mechanar/Alcatraz/Magister Ter/Gruul's/Magtherid/Kara/Tempest/Hyjal kinda../BT/Sunwell = FUN! rest ew....

All the raids are fun IMO, but I'd rank them like that: Kara > ZA > Tempest Keep >= BT > Gruul = SSC >= Hyjal > Magtheridon.

Gruul's Lair= fun. Gruul's as a fire mage= Godlike

I like how this list is completely biased against Coilfang Reservoir. 😅 Not that I disagree, I just think it's funny.

Those who wanted it to stay exactly the same, are not happy with how some of the original content is in the classic re release?

Everybody knows that the end boss of ssc25 was the lift / elevator in the very beginning... 😂 Hyjal was nostalgia but it was a terrible raid and i played w3....

Imagine the downvote tsunami if he would have rated Karazhan not fun :,D

Ugh, Mount Hyjal was definitely not fun for me. Seemingly endless AOE waves that you fight in the same place over and over, followed by seemingly endless AOE waves that make you run all over the place? And if you wipe on the following boss you have to do it all over again? No thanks. WCIII nostalgia can only carry a raid so far.

>old hillsbarad >fun Nixxiom is high on copium.

I know it's not true but this list makes me feel like you didn't even play in the dungeons of TBC. Mana tombs was hated by nearly every player for the mana burns and the annoying escort. Ppl only went in to do a quest or two. Shattered halls was more hated than any dungeon I've ever seen, the mobs hit hard, ppl are stupid and can't watch their surroundings, the slime pit, so many reasons to hate shattered halls. Slave pens was only used for boosting. It's alright but fears were annoying. Karazhan, the perfection of a raid. This was the pinnacle of fun, you can even play a game of chess, and win with just 3 pieces of you knew what to do.

Also I HATED Sethel. All of the other Auchindoun dungeons are bis tho

Shattered Halls is Fun? No Way man^^

Mount Hyjal was okay the first time around. After the second time I already hated it, though. It's probably Blizzard's worst raid ever.

Ain't no way my man's said Mount Hyjal is a fun raid

FUN / NOT FUN: TBC Dungeons and Raids Edition: FUN

Magtheridon Lair Fun? Hyjal Fun? You didnt play TBC no way bro...

Hyjal, Arcatraz, and Underbog: not fun The rest: fun

Hard disagree on Hyjal and Arcatraz. Also TK is fun but has some of the worst trash in the expansion.

Hyjal was fun.. the 1st time. After the nostalgia wears off, it's just monotonous waves of trash and easy, forgettable bosses (other than Archimonde).

Bring tbc classic back god damnit 😢

I will brave the storm and say it. You're subjective measure of slave pens being not fun is highly offensive. I this essay I will argue why Slave Pens deserves fun....

Basically: Hellfire Peninsula: fun Zangarmarsh: not fun Terrokar: fun Netherstorm: mostly fun Caverns of time: meh Raids: booyah (except serpentshrine)

I love SSC
