Melbourne · Raid guides & cold takes
Frozen raids,
molten takes.
A Fitzroy back-room blog for players who read the patch notes twice. We break down raid mechanics, review the games worth your weekend, and tell the stories behind the servers.
A note from the founder
We started this in a share-house, not a studio.
Frozen Raid Frontier began in 2016 as a Discord channel where four of us argued about boss timers until 3am. It turned into a blog because we were tired of reviews that mistook hype for honesty and guides that skipped the hard pull.
Everything you read here is written by people who actually cleared the content, playing from our little room above Smith Street in Fitzroy. No paid placements, no scores handed out for early access.
— Dylan R., Founder & Raid Lead
How every piece gets made
Four steps between a fresh patch and a post you can trust.
We diagram the fight
Every raid guide ships with phase-by-phase positioning, cooldown windows and a call sheet you can paste straight into your team's voice chat.
We fact-check with the community
Drafts go to a reader panel of 30 players across time zones before publishing, so a strat that only works on high-end rigs never gets sold as universal.
We update after every patch
Guides carry a "last verified" date. When a hotfix changes a boss, the post gets re-tested within 48 hours and stamped again — no stale strats left behind.
The writers' den
The people behind the posts.

Hardware & Performance
Benchmarks, frame-time charts, and honest talk about what actually needs an upgrade.

Player stories, scene reporting, and the reader panel that keeps us honest.

Our latest verdict, plus what readers are saying.
"Their Frostfall raid guide got our group of six our first clear after three weeks of wiping. The call sheet alone was worth it."
"Finally a review site that says when a game runs badly on a mid-range PC. Marcus's frame-time charts saved me from a $90 refund."
"I read the patch-note breakdowns every fortnight. It's the only gaming blog I trust to actually re-test after a hotfix."
