forgot to make a post for stream last night but it went well
Ulduar is amazing. it's unique and, to my knowledge, there's no mmo raid before or after that does anything similar in regards to the hard modes and how to progress on them.
despite my raid having only downed 3 hard modes, we have made progress on another 4 at the same time. instead of just throwing ourselves against a wall over and over we have the ability to pick and chose multiple fights to work on as time allows. since we only raid twice for three hours this has been a great thing for us
