wow Secrets of Ulduar Remastered Full IKedit Video

[Starym 3,800]

 

Here comes the real thing after yesterday's teaser, as we get another great remaster by Ivan Kuzkin. The Secrets of Ulduar aka patch 3.1 released on April 14th, 2009, and was the first WotLK content addition, bringing with it dual spec, the first stage of the Argent Tournament, a talent reset with new spells, along with the raid itself and many other changes you can check out here. But let's get to the remastered cinematic at hand:

It's a bit of a shame that the models used in the remaster aren't era-correct, especially with Garrosh and Jaina, but presumably getting the older models would have been a lot more work. Also, we can see some classic Thrall being oblivious to Garroshes shenanigans there, who could have guessed he'd end up a villain!

Here's the original for comparison, as well as the official patch description and logo:

 

Quote

The march of Horde and Alliance armies through Northrend led to a number of victories, but these successes paled before a discovery made by the explorer Brann Bronzebeard within the ancient titan complex of Ulduar. This mysterious fortress had long served as the prison of the Old God Yogg-Saron, a being of unfathomable evil whose influence had spread into the continent of Northrend itself. With Brann's assistance, small bands of Alliance and Horde champions infiltrated Ulduar to confront Yogg-Saron, who blasted the invaders with cryptic visions: the millennia-old creation of an artifact known as the Dragon Soul, the assassination of Stormwind's King Llane, and a glimpse of the Lich King's future.

As for the raid itself, it was a bit of a weird one for the World First history, as it had Algalon, Yogg-Saron, and his many hard modes, but in the end it seemed the Alone in the Darkness (25 player) hard mode was the ultimate "final boss" of the raid, and it was achieved WF by Chinese guild Stars, 85 days after the raid was released.

They could've just used Jaina's model from Heroes of the Storm, much like they did with Varian. Sure, it is not era-correct either since it is based on WC3 Jaina, but it is more accurate than BfA Jaina. And they could've used Thrall's HotS model as well, which looks pretty dandy.

Regardless, this was a fantastic video. I loved every second of it, specially since Ulduar is my favorite raid ever.
