Blizzard held a panel this afternoon showcasing their new Dungeons and Raids coming in Wrath of the Lich King. We got a live walk through of the dungeons also to see exactly what they will look like, all the content seen is currently on beta so nothing mind blowing was announced but some good information was released:



Halls of Lighting (5 man)

  • Five player dungeon located in The
    Storm Peaks
  • Discover the secrets of the Titans
  • Epic lore + Epic gameplay =
    Awesome

Ahn'kahet: The Old Kingdom (5 man)

  • Another Old God encounter (C'Thun)
  • Five player dungeon deep in the
    heart of Azjol-Nerub
  • Features both indoor and outdoor
    terrain
  • What horrors lie underneath
    Northrend?

Chamber of the Aspects (10/25 man)

  • Raid zone located inside Wyrmrest
    Temple
  • Expandable
  • Choose your difficulty and reward!
  • Hardest way is not killing any of
    the Twilight Drakes; Twilight Drake as a reward, very difficult

Eye of Eternity (10/25 man)

  • Home of Malygos, Aspect of Magic
  • Showcases new features of
    expansion
  • Epic multiple phase fight.
  • During the fight you receive help
    from the Red Dragonflight

Itemization

  • Higher quality loot from Heroic
    dungeons
  • Different currencies per raid tier
    (emblem of heroism / emblem of valor)
  • Separate sets for 10 and 25 player
    raids

Q&A

  • May have something to get people
    out raid so you can keep raid moving
  • Dunno about 10 / 25 legendaries;
    more lite Ataiesh
  • Not designing encounters for the
    dual spec abilities
  • Make decisions of older dungeons
    based on how they fit into the storyline
  • Emblems can be used to purchase
    set pieces
  • Attunements pretty much being rid
    of (minus the summoning of Malygos)
  • Hunter pet tanks should be able to
    off tank
  • More difficult encounters will
    come in later, possibly not as hard as Sunwell
  • Dropping more items per boss
