Dragonflight Season 4 Dungeon Changes Ahead

[Hukilau-cenarius]

As a filthy casual, who has only run heroic dungeons in current tier, this is a great change. Looking forward to being able to die for standing in fire and boss fights taking more than 10 seconds to kill.

If current mythic 0 = new heroic, does that mean a change to the dungeon difficulty requirements for Glory of the Dragonflight Hero or Put That Thing Back Where It Came From? Without a change, it seems that it would be putting these achievements further out of reach. Or should I be rushing to complete these before 10.3?

Disappointed to see no seasonal affix.

If this isn’t just announcement 1 of X for M+ I’ll be disappointed. There’s a lot more that needs addressed even if this is a great start.

[Brainard-area-52]

No please I don’t think people remember how awful Uldaman is.

Please don’t bring that one back jesus christ

[Rainsóng-area-52]

Considering I got to +24s this season, I will be. Blech

You need a literal all star healer for RLP though so we’ll see if that happens in S4.

The post explicitly says:

“Season 4 changes will apply to all eight of the Dragonflight dungeons.”

So I don’t think DotI will be there. They also seem to really want to avoid the same dungeon being in back to back seasons.

If they leave DOTI out then DOTI will only be current content for 1 season. That would be a giant failure for them and a waste of their resources.

I’d bet it ends up in there.

You have to remember the number may be lower but the difficulty the same 20=10 now so of course it will give Myth 2/4 like always.

This is basically what our level squish was but for M+. Our level went from 60-120 but it was essentially cosmetic.

@Hpellipsis-whisperwind

Also means unless you’re doing what are currently 20s or higher you only have 1 affix to contend with.

This sorta worries me, as the new +10 will be required for vault mythic options, and we will be grouping with people who are not used to the third affix of any given week.

It really should be done at +4 and +7 levels of the new system (current 8 and 14 cut in half)

Seat of the Triumverte was only active for the finale of Legion.

Wrath and DS both had 3 dungeons only active for the final tier.

So I don’t think it’s out of the question DotI won’t be there.

[Rainsóng-area-52]

There is no +4 or +7

Edit: I already hate this. Nevermind. kek

[Mohz-kelthuzad]

So M0 DOTI will be the hardest dungeon outside of m+

[Enterjudas-area-52]

If that’s the case then good I’m glad, they shouldn’t design the game for them

I expect a similar article post at the same time.

Since they changed mass dispel maybe they’ll adjust the 4th and 5th boss?

lol just kidding Blizz won’t do that.

[Pesa-zangarmarsh]

My initial take is that I like this change.

I would like to see the 10+ keys be a little closer together in difficulty than they are now so that there is a smoother progression.

I would really really (really) love to see affixes be only seasonal affixes and not 45-second timer affixes. The reason seasonal affixes were so good was that they were tailored to the dungeon (except Thundering which was not made like the other seasonal affixes)

Aside from Thundering there was no “bad” seasonal affix that I ever saw though I started in BFA S4. Please consider this!

[Zaim-sargeras (Zaim)]

Also, could Blizz drop the weekly Mythic Dungeon Quest to 1-2 dungeons then? Would be kindof annoying doing that on alts with the higher difficulty just for time sake.

They posted an agenda for the week and today was a dungeon article.

Not sure what to tell you.

This Week in WoW: March 11, 2024 - WoW

[Steinerr-stormrage]

its annoying sure but ide rather uldaman over halls. i hated that dungeon so much

[Caithyra-bleeding-hollow]

This is basically my TLDR break down:

• Keys drop -10 in levels.
• Heroic is equal to current M0 difficulty.
• M0 is equal to a +10 now with no timer.
• You only get 1 affix until you start doing +10s (+20s currently).

[Morpha-shattered-hand]

The team is SO CLOSE to getting this right.

If people want to do a Mythic 5 (previously known as Mythic+ 15) without a timer, they should be able to do that.

If people want to do a Mythic 5 (previously known as Mythic+ 15) with a timer, they should be able to do that too.

With either option, you should get the exact same item level rewards at the end.
If you fail to time a key, you can finish the dungeon as a group and get the rewards as if you had chosen to do a non-timed key.

There should be some extra cosmetic only rewards for players that do manage to clear dungeons fast, but players should not feel forced to rush through a dungeon just to get the highest item level gear that Mythic+ has to offer.

Guess I’ll be living in Nokhud for Stormslash.
