Request to Fix Access to Lady Vashj and Kael’thas After T6 Release

[Bloodny]

Hello,

I'd like to report an issue that appears to be inconsistent with how the Serpentshrine Cavern (SSC) and Tempest Keep (TK) raids functioned on the official Blizzard servers after Tier 6 content (Black Temple / Mount Hyjal) was released in patch 2.1.

Currently, even though T6 content is unlocked on our server, we are still required to kill all previous bosses in SSC and TK in order to access Lady Vashj and Kael’thas Sunstrider.

This restriction was removed by Blizzard in patch 2.1, allowing players to go directly to Vashj and Kael without clearing the earlier bosses. This was especially important for attunement quests and specific loot farming, and was widely confirmed by player experience and community documentation.

Reference:
https://wowwiki-archive.fandom.com/wiki/Patch_2.1.0

many firsthand reports from the TBC era confirm this change was live at the time.

Therefore, I kindly ask the server team to:

verify the current mechanics blocking access to these final bosses;

consider updating the instance behavior to match the correct post-2.1 state, allowing direct access to Vashj and Kael.

This would bring the raid progression and overall gameplay experience more in line with how it functioned during original TBC.

Thank you in advance for your time and for all the work you do on the server.

Best regards,
Meratriix

Exactly, this puts a big obstacle for guilds wanting to progress t6, not having enough players ready for t6, this wastes a raid day to beat all the t5 content

Can confirm that.
Even on classic release in 2021
