This has to be one of the best things ever. Wow giving you access to old skool dungeons as they were at release.

QuoteOver the coming weeks, we’ll test Timewalking on the PTR in the following dungeons:
The Arcatraz
Black Morass
Mana-Tombs
The Shattered Halls
The Slave Pens
Ahn’kahet: The Old Kingdom
Gundrak
Halls of Lightning
The Nexus
Utgarde Pinnacle
Whilst they are scaling the gear right back to the old levels, let's hope you get to test them on original heroic un-nerfed difficulty.
I remember the rush when you managed to complete a heroic Shattered Halls or Arcatraz instance for raid attunement purposes. Shattered Halls in those early days was a total SOB for cloth wearers and it was a real badge of honour to have completed the run pre-nerf.
Let's hope they bring them back at a similarly 'almost impossible' level of difficulty as that was what made them so much fun!
I saw that last night and it's amazing that they do this and I totally agree that those heroics where fun pre-nerf, and that in my opinion especially applies to the ones from TBC cause as you say those were hard but still fun!
Having thought about it overnight I'll add the original pre-nerf Mana Tombs to that list too. Those last groups and the final boss were insane in the original version.
Yeah, this looks like a lot of fun. I hope they implement something like this in a more permanent solution as a sort of challenge mode.
Ah the memories of the loooooong pull in Shattered Halls
PULLING NOW!
Great fun as a hunter, missdirect, multishot, FD... get up after they run over your "dead body"
then there invisible assassins, loads of us died to them, no one was safe!

Damn i remember our first runs into heroic arcatraz for attunements - we was in there for 3-5 hours i think
Oh and the horror about the repairbills for platewearers...
