Coming Later This Year: Shadowlands Season 4

Considering this is basically their trial for this feature? Cataclysm and Wrath had many raid tiers. If they basically rolled out these “seasons” as Expansion-wide seasons? Everyone would have PLENTY to do. I’ve very excited about this, as an almost 18 year player.

I think this is an awesome addition - Thank you!!

I have always hoped for all past dungeons to become relevant again. Maybe through a Chromie Mythic Dungeon Challenge or something.

On one hand, I will give Blizzard props for taking content out of the trash and making it relevant. On the other, I’m already itching to condemn them. Why? Raid+.

Season 4 will put raiders on a path where, if they want BIS, they’re going to be looking at 31 bosses and M+ style affixes changing up the fights. That’s a level of conviction bordering on insanity. The only way to pull this off without setting up what feels like obligatory soul destruction is to limit the bosses available from each raid. Something like wings of LFR but for pre-made groups.

Can we vote for all the dungeons not just WoD. You literally picked the worst dungeons from every xpac outside mechagon junkyard

Wow. I’m can’t believe I’m seeing complaints about this. I really thought there’d be more excitement. But then I’m ever the eternal optimist, and GD is ever the cesspool of eternal pessimism.

Are we going to have Rank 8 legendaries then?

Absolutely this, I don’t know why people would chose dungeons that are openly hated by most.

like what?

do you know what a season means? it’s more than “end of expansion”

a season runs for 4 to 6 months AFTER the existing season finishes

I think the problem is not the idea, but rather the proposed list of dungeons, those dungeons listed are hated by probably a good 50% of the player base, they would have a much more pleasant result if they chose the most popular dungeons of each expac, not the most hated.

This is a really cool way to make all previous raid tiers relevant. I know my guilds in Classic WoW still farmed MC/BWL for quite a while, even when AQ40 and beyond were out.

Grimrail Depot…y’all REALLY want to run that place with sanguine or explosive huh?

There’s like, +1 for listening to the community on letting us vote for two of them.

But for me, personally -1 for including Grimrail Depot in the mix, because they know people have complained about Motion Sickness on that dungeon since WoD, to the point they didn’t include it in Timewalking the first time around. The complaints resurfaced again when they added it.

Also, keeping all 3 raids relevant essentially means making your guild run 3 raids a week, which is… extreme. :sweat_smile: I hope they have some sort of system that involves shared loot or something, so people don’t feel like they have to.

So does this mean that development on 10.0 is going smoothly?

Shadowmoon Burial Grounds please! I voted. Why on earth would anyone want Everbloom over Shadowmoon?

Sanctum+ needs to have the M+ Season 2 affixes for every encounter. Into my icy veins.

Are these 8 replacing the current pool, or addition to current pool for m+ dungeons?

“…almost 18 year player…”

I’m very familiar with what they mean. Let’s say there are 4 seasons in an expac. And then I would get to raid old content, at current level, with added difficulties? How can anyone not get excited about that? I want to raid older content without having to play on classic servers. This is literally the best of both worlds.
