Legion:

Battle for Azeroth:
- Atal’Dazar (10-60)*
- Freehold (10-71)*
- Shrine of the Storm (10-71)
- Temple of Sethraliss (10-71)
- The MOTHERLODE!! (10-71)
- The Underrot (10-71)
- Waycrest Manor (10-71)
- (*) These values are swapped between Alliance/Horde characters
Shadowlands:
- Plaguefall (10-61)
- The Necrotic Wake (10-71)
Dragonflight:
- All DF dungeons are available (10-71)
The pattern I had realized in these restrictions is that with the exception of:
- Shadowfang Keep & Wailing Caverns (Classic)
- The BFA and Shadowlands dungeons
…these are also all the same dungeons that my level 10 Timewalking character is unable to queue for. So it appears to be that any dungeons set to any value besides 10-71 (and whatever is going on with BFA/SL) is what’s preventing level 60s from seeing most of the dungeons in the game, despite them being available a few levels earlier at level 58.
The way I see it, Blizzard has two potential solutions to this problem:
- Rework the level 62*-70 range of characters in particular so that this list is all fixed.
- Just rework ALL Chromie Time dungeons to a 10-71 range, because certain expansions having free exploration over their dungeons at all levels and others still having level restrictions kinda goes against the entire idea of what Chromie Time is supposed to be.
I implore Blizz to take the second approach; just normalize dungeon queues across all Chromie Time to be available at all levels that can access Chromie Time. Especially because not all of the level restrictions are actually working properly:
- Level 30 characters are unable to queue into Cataclysm dungeons either, despite their range listed as 30-71; they can still however walk directly into Cata dungeons with no restrictions.
- Level 10 characters can’t queue into the two Classic dungeons I’d listed above, despite the level range being 8-71 for those two dungeons in particular.
- Level 35 characters somehow go beyond breaking the bounds of Chromie Time and are actually able to access queues for Heroic Cataclysm dungeons, but only at level 35 are these available; they do not appear for levels 34 or 36.
tl;dr
Blizzard there is a very clear issue with Chromie Time, level 60s should not lose access to 80% of the dungeons in the game, but also just all characters in Chromie Time should have access to all Chromie Time dungeons, no matter their level. Plz make all dungeons 10-71.
Sincerely,
A weirdo who enjoys this game most within Chromie Time and just wants to see these bugs fixed
EDIT:
*: Fixed the floor values where CT bugs out to 62, as someone in the responses showed their level 61 character can still queue for everything. So it appears beyond the 10-61 range that was within Dragonflight. Apologies for missing that detail before, I only had characters at 63 and 68 to check.
