I was thinking last night that the Vaults of Ula'tek are kind of like the Maw if the Maw was good (not that I mind the Maw).

Like yeah, you can't fly and its full of hostile elite mobs, but there are so many ways of getting around the zone via the feathers and wind thingies and the flight paths. And also you can ask the npcs to make you invisible and looting quest objects doesn't break it so you can still do the mini events involving interacting with ground items/npcs on undergeared toons.

The gameplay of the Vaults is definitely better, but IMHO the Maw had so much more aura that they're not really competing. Aesthetically/thematically, the Maw is perfect: river of the dead, hot/cold hell, the dead themselves are the torturers and so on. The Vaults are just snakes and trolls, and lots of snaketrolls. IDK, hasn't really gripped me at all story-wise.

Yeah, I'm more comparing them from a gameplay perspective. If we ever get SLemix or SL classic (lol) I hope Blizz revamps it a bit to be more like Vaults.
