Darkflame Cleft dungeon

By far the WORST dungeon to date EVER designed and created.
What was the thought process and logic to creating this?
Who even did a QA and passed this?

Darkflame & Dawnbreaker are among the better dungeons in this expansion.

L take.

It’s one of the few that actually feel like they belong in Warcraft. It’s a bit goofy. You can min/max the Light by having mobile DPS keep the Light’s resource bar over 50%.

And kobold lore is genuinely good, and this dungeon tells you the important bits through playable content. Kobolds fighting you because they think you’ll take the candle means they were scared of what resides in the darkness. This was retconned a long time ago (Cata?), but now they’re capitalizing on it. The fact the final boss is “The Darkness” is perfect.

It’s the best one. Only one nearly as good is Dawnbreaker if they fix the bugginess.

Legion sort of with the rare in Highmountain that you spawn by extinguishing the candles.

DFC is not even the worst dungeon in this xpac, let alone ever.

Honestly I don’t think I’ve seen a single dungeon in War Within I actually enjoyed. City of Threads MAYBE?

It does hold my least favorite though, Dawnbreaker. People who defend it make me mad. I have literally flown through the ship every time I’ve done it. My first tank fell into the main ship and couldnt get out, etc.

It’s really good but it’s not the best. Priory of the Sacred Flame is borderline masterpiece tbh

But they require you to do something other than mindlessly run down straight hallways gathering neatly arranged packs of 4-5 mobs along the way, pressing your 4 AoE buttons while you watch Scrubs reruns on your second monitor.

And we cannot have that.

Like…what’s the point of even starting a thread like this if you’re not going to say WHAT you don’t like about the dungeon?

The light mechanic leading up to the last boss is the only thing that I can see people having a problem with. But that’s literally just an issue with the thing only being out for 2 weeks and everyone being inexperienced.

i dont hate it yet but soon will if skitters doesnt man up.

so dramatic this lil one.

“aww my head D:” - no, stop.
“and now… the darkness D:” - i said stop!

They hated her because she spoke the truth.

Still way better than The Dawnbreaker and Nokhund.

Miles by far better then The Occulus.

It’s just too long when most of the other new dungeons are super short.

Also that stupid one with all the bees that takes forever.
