Mike isn't a Star wars fan, he's a Trekkie, maybe thats why he didn't think of it, but yeah, this is General Grievous for sure

Id find it so cool if they used this place as a second hub like place for the xpac later on. Like the jailer attacks oribos or something and succeeds so we have to move here or something. I feel that would be refreshing.

[@SimplyConeh]

Do you recall whether they've ever changed the main hub mid expansion at any point? Of course they've brought new zones with daily hubs, but if they've ever changed the main one, I'm blanking on it

[@slinttu1378]

Well, SPOILER, in the final phase for the Sylvanas fight, we fight in the Crucible, which is the Arbiter's Chamber in Oribos. And it's looking very much like the Jailer is going to win. Tazavesh would be such a cool city, they even got an Auction house in there.

I can't believe you didn't notice the strong hint towards general grevious from star wars in the first boss :D wields 4 sabers and steals your weapon, just like he did when defeating a yedi. Very nice blizz

It’d be cool if the instruments made the boss dance to stun him out or prevent a mechanic.

[@guruen90]

hyldebrand has the same mechanic (kinda) as a recent destiny 2 boss 2 player can see where to dunk bombs and 1 player spawns orbs and 1 player stuns the boss t oget the other 2 buffs

[@hellothere8812]

They most likely will make this an actual interactive city hub (with no enemies). The way it is set up just seems like they are going in that direction. Most likely after you finish the dungeon you’ll be granted access to the city that is not in the instance.

[@dne1869]

kind of like mechagon?

Note now that it's live, a few of these fights on Hard mode, like the 5th boss and the menagerie(and of course the last boss) are SUPER fun. However the bugs are BAD, Mail room is burn with lust or undoable and if you wipe to the first boss the blades stay. Big lame. And having to kill the first boss and get locked out, then restart the dung to start hard mode week 1 kind of sucks

[@DarkScreamGames]

I really like these mechanics. It feels like they're finally learning to motivate players to do mechanics without the "developer's bdsm paddle". I'm sold on the "heist" premise but didn't expect them to continue pulling in Odyn and friends. Really liked the last boss, gave me almost Algalon vibes. Too bad about the bugged one. By the way, There is an un-instanced version of this dungeon off the edge of Ardenweald..... I love your idea about Blizz doing more with the place. I think it would make a fine mini questing zone on its own!

[@decayeddivinity9916]

Would be fun if they tied ETC into the band portion. Maybe something like the lead singer needs you to step in to cover for his band mates who are passed out drunk/sick/transmogrified. Agro'd mobs could be crazed fans trying to get to the singer during a solo or something.

[@sr7olsniper]

@@Spartavian95 the combat opens up in a big way later on. At first you start wiht your main 123 combo. Then as you level up you get a second 123 type combo and you do from a different position (if you are melee). So now you have one combo from the side and one combo from the back. Then as you level you get off the global cooldowns that you have to weave between your combos. This weaving basically changes the GCD from 2.0 to potentially 0.5 depending on the class. Also most melee, besides DRG also get a skill speed buff that you do in.p your rotation greatly speeding up your combat as well. Reason DRG does not get it is because they get more OGCD skills.this also translates to a tanks as well. WiTh gunbreaker having a dps feel almost. For ranged, it’s basically the same thing without the positional combos. Black mage starts fairly simple and it gets more complex as you get to higher levels and so does summoner. At max level, summoner gets to juggle between a fully fledged Bahamut and Phoenix summons with your play style speeding up a bit. It feels like arcane mage a bit during burn phase. Healers are also expected to dps, so even if mechanics are tough you are also the required to contribute to the damage so you need to be aware of that as well. Meaning keeping party alive, while keeping dots up and casting dps spells.

[@TheHarimgrebduhl]

Dude preach my guy... the first boss is general grievous... he takes your weapon because he must add more to his collection. He literally comes out doing the signature move.

It looks like a very fun dungeon for Mythic zero where you can take your time, but a potential nightmare on Mythic+, especially tyrannical weeks. Too many puzzles and RP events. Not sure if I like the dungeon design becoming more like mini-raids. In a raiding environment you can try as many times as you need to get a boss down. In M+ even a single boss wipe on tyrannical often results in a depleted key.
