Old dungeons turning into m+ opinions

They absolutely did not kinda create whole new sets of dungeons for the seasonal dungeons pools. A few were added throughout the expansion but not a “seasonal m+ pool” like the OP wants.

I’ve been enjoying using old dungeons to make every season be 8 “new” dungeons (I.e., not the same as the previous season).

Getting more dungeons though would be cool, even just 1 per raid tier.

A small number already proposed:

They absolutely did have a new dungeon every patch of legion. Dungeon sets are a new thing, but it is very possible for them to crank out more then 9 dungeons an expac, blizz just has chosen not to, probably because of the backlash the legion ones got.

yes, now imagine making Eight, since that’s what they’re talking about, a full new pool of dungeons for that seasonal patch

they’d all be ramshackle quality, like it or not

A new dungeon and a new dungeon set/pool like the OP wants are two totally different things, champ.

Bringing old dungeons back gives them a chance to also make them more interesting if they feel it’s necessary, like they’ve done with Throne this season. I don’t mind it all that much. What I do wish they’d do though is make the old dungeons also available on M0 difficulty so that they can still be run at max level without needing a key.

They shouldn’t be re-using recent ones that we already did as M+. Court of Stars, Neltharion’s Lair, Atal-Dazar… we did those. Why are we doing them again so soon?

There are a lot of good older dungeons they haven’t used.

Give us Utgarde Keep & Utgarde Pinnacle
Steamvaults
Hellfire Ramparts

Plenty to choose from.

yeah I really really preferred when m+ was the same set of dungeons that you could queue for in heroic.

Reworking anything earlier than WoD seems to be a pretty massive effort of changes so they seem to be only doing one per season from that.

I’m hoping with a new expansion launch they can do more than 1. Most dungeons back through TBC could be used.

I won’t be surprised if we get a few Shadowlands dungeons in the next expac. We are chewing through WoD, Legion, and BFA dungeons quickly.

Yeah, they should stop adding new zones, events and world content to add 1 new dungeon per patch.

I’m sure that would go over well on GD.

Apparently 600+ developers isn’t enough to pump out new dungeons each patch in an expansion.

They do it for raids.

I liked arcway, cos, and cath of night, i wish that they would have carried that formula through beyond the mega dungeons they added in SL and DF. ZC should have come with at least one 5man to set up abberus and one more in the emerald dream.

There was also imo a missed opportunity to make caverns of time relevant again during the time tifts content. Or to bring back those mini scenarios from mists.

I’m glad it isn’t like Shadowlands where we did the same seven dungeons every season, but the new dungeons we have now (from DF) are absolutely terrible I am happy that we aren’t forced to do them for mythic plus.

You forgot “you think you do, but you don’t.” Horses fear GD terribly, we’re their worst nightmares.

how are they boring?

Waycrest is probably the best 5man ever developed.

While this is true, I honestly think they’re starting to hit their stride. I think the TotT remake far surpasses TJS and VP. It just…feels more modern.

The only way I figure they could pump out new dungeons every season is if they started re-using more things.

Maybe like increasing the map size of raids but having separate paths through the raid. Like a raid path and a dungeon path. And the dungeon path is travelling along side the raid path but killing lower ranked officers while the raid path is killing high ranking officers and leaders.

That way you could stretch out the current expected content to give you extra separate content.

I don’t know how many times they could do that specifically before we got bored of it though.

Otherwise you might have to try and get clever with ai/procedurally generated stuff.
