Apparently AI dungeons have been datamined on the PTR:

CTRL + F “LFG dungeons” and you’ll find it immediately.

Its exactly what you think. Your previously human party members are replaced with AI ‘players’.

What are your thoughts?

Yeah, since the primary source for datamined info hasn’t mentioned it (WoWhead)…I doubt it’s true

It seems silly to give opinions based on people who are jumping to conclusions based on incomplete data-mining of beta content.

I have serious doubts that they are in a hurry to “replace” players with AI. I’m pretty sure that “AI” players aren’t paying a subscription each month.

But if they are able to make dungeons more interesting via NPCs that are using AI, that would be a good thing IMO.

Not the primary source of datamined info sure, but a source nonetheless.

I share this video only to show you what their team have datamined on the PTR. Not sharing my ‘troll thoughts’ on it either way. Just want to hear some opinions on it from general discussion.

A click-bait youtuber is your source? Even worse IMO.

Normally I’d agree with you, but these e-celeb/parasites do one thing well, which is copying info they scrape from the internet/WoW verbatim. Again, I only share the video to discuss the subject of AI dungeons in WoW.

Anyway, if you want a better source, here you go:

www.mmo-champion. com/content/11695-Patch-10-2-PTR-Build-51239

CTRL+F “LFG dungeons” and you’ll find it immediately.

Ok, so it might actually be a thing after all.

I am 1000% down with this as long as it’s optional.

There is a section in the PTR stuff labeled:

Difficulties
Instance

  • Dungeon Follower (New) - Players: 1-5

So far, that seems to be all the information available.

*Edit, some other suspicious information on the MMOCHamp PTR build section (Build 51239):

LFG Dungeons
Dungeons

  • Brackenhide Hollow AI (New) - Map: Brackenhide Hollow. Roles: 1-5 damage.
  • Neltharus AI (New) - Map: Neltharus. Roles: 1-5 damage.
  • Ruby Life Pools AI (New) - Map: Ruby Life Pools. Roles: 1-5 damage.

Oh, that’s an easy ignore. I’ll happily wait for someone less known to say anything and everything for views before I bother caring about potential new info.

Would be a thing if you had a dps/healer leave suddenly but would be hard for tanks

I think people are simply refusing to believe that these AI dungeons could be a thing that Blizzard is considering. Try to derail the thread all you want, I don’t care.

The question is if they’re really going to add it, and if so, what does that mean for WoW? I’ve deliberately left my thoughts on the matter out of every post because I want to read other peoples opinions on it.

Would love if the AI characters could be your alts. It would be awesome to have a team that i put together

All of my main alts are pandaren named Gigabear of various classes. Priest, Monk, Hunter mainly. So, I’d totally do this and RP an alternate timeline thing.

tbh i rather not have dungeons/raid just be 1 player with a entire team of ai.

would feel off if they did mythics entirely like that.
but i wouldn’t be opposed to it if they used it to replace a player or 2 that rage quits mid-run.
