Sunwell 2.0? New raid in 3.2 looks familiar…

Now all of this is purely speculation but hear me out and either agree or disagree in the comments, I’d really like to get a good discussion going for this from all points of view.

You notice how similar the Argent Tournament and the Isel of Quel’danas are? Sure it’s not a constantly growing phasing kind of place like the sunwell Isle was where the more quests you completed the closer you got to facilities and such, (and there isn’t awesome balls deep PvP everywhere) but the parallels are very close. Anyway, I’m writing this in particular because looking at the encounter and boss stuff (achievements) recently uncovered through datamining the PTR, it looks a lot like Sunwell 2.0.

I’ll go through them one by one here:

• New quest hubs are opening up for two separate areas (like they did for SW).
• Badges are being pretty much normalized across the board and granting hardmode loot to keep the extra hardcore player base a slight step above the rest.
• There’s a dungeon for 5man groups (casuals?) and a raid (average player?) and heroic hardmode raid (for hardcores?)
• The bosses are… throwbacks.
• There are characters and elements from the Manga comic books (SWP was pretty much completely and uteerly centered around the characters Kalecgos and Anveena which were created in the WoW Manga Sunwell Trilogy comic books by Richard Knaak). Looking at the tournament you see a Tauren DK straight from the warcraft legends series of Manga, his character specifically created by Knaak.

Here are the bosses and you’ll understand why I say “throwbacks”:

• There are Valkyr twins instead of Eredar twins.
• There are two worms, possibly double phase fight who knows. Notice that the 2nd model (the Acidmaw one) is the type that’s sticking out of the ground not showing his butt, like the crust bursters from BC or the quest one in the Storm peaks.
• There are also nods to the introductory mobs for Northrend and a big ass red demon… like KJ.
• Finally and most importantly is ANUB’ARAK THE TRAITOR KING! Achievements point to him being the guy and I guess “AZJOL’NERUB WAS JUST A SETBACK!“
