Are mythic 0’s going back to weekly lock outs for 11.1?
Yes mythic zeros are going back to a weekly lockout which is not a good thing.
By the words of the developers: mythic zero is a stepping stone to mythic plus.
How can it be a stepping stone when you are loot locked on a weekly basis?
Run a full world tour of mythic zeros, get two pieces of gear and then do it for seven weeks in a row?
When blizzard “trimmed” the mythic plus levels (removing 2-10 and placing them into normal/heroic/mythic zero), they said their vision was to give new players an introduction into mythic plus without the timer.
But having a weekly loot lockout directly goes against that vision because people used to be able to spam +2-10 keys to get gear for higher key levels - that is no longer the case: people are forced to do +2s to gear which essentially drops new players into the scene at a +12 when they used to start at a +2.
Also the removal of key depletions via resilient keystone achievements really need to start at +3.
New players are going to take a very very long time to get to +12s. There is no reason that the lower end mythic plus community should not enjoy the same quality of life perks as the high end mythic plus community.
(Yes I know that +12s are not “high keys” but I refer to it as the higher end because only 1.5% of The mythic plus community has timed all 12s).
i lead a raid group and we were planning world tours. this totally messes up the entire flow i had planned. This is a HUGE fail on blizzard’s part
Huge fail!!! I don’t care about this loot like at all!
We should be able to run these as often as we need to deal with the immense pressure of S2 mythic plus dungeons in order to adjust and learn the mechanics of M+. M0 should be training ground.
If you wanna do a “lockout”, then switch it to a BOSS LOCKOUT like raids have. But better still would be to make Mythic 0 part of the LFG solo queue system. Simple as that!
