Can we get Waycrest Manor and Shine of Storms back as current content? Loved those dungeons from BFA so much. Has anyone gotten an explanation as to why they are reusing Operation Mechagon, Threater of Pain and The Motherloade? I don’t think I have ever seen old dungeons be reused as current content.

They reuse old dungeons every single season for M+. 8 new dungeons per expansion, 4 get used s1 4 get used s2 and they use 4 old dungeons.

We got WCM back in DF S3, Shrine is one of the dungeons that needs to stay gone.
They used to do the same dungeon the whole expansion and I liked that just as much as now. In shadowlands, for example, I felt people became very good at the dungeons, even pugs as the different seasonal affixes came and went. Maybe I like it better now because the annoying points in each dungeon are gone the next season. However, the scaling is often very strange or inconsistent for the first few weeks because they are combining new dungeons with old ones made for level 50s.

It’s been happening since S3 Shadowlands, so I’m genuinely impressed you didn’t notice. As for Waycrest Manor, we had that in Dragonflight so I wouldn’t hold your breath on it being brought back in back to back expansions.

They are trying to avoid the problem they had in past xpacs where they had the same dungeons in the M+ rotation for the entire xpac. So now they use half the current dungeons and a few old dungeons for the first season then switch them out for the other half of the current dungeons and different old ones for the second season. Then a different mix again for the third.
They haven’t given any reason for what old dungeons they pick as far as i know, so the two you like from BfA could show up in the future. Keep an eye out, sometimes they will ask what old dungeons people would like to see return in surveys.
I stopped playing shortly into shadowlands. So that explains why. I didn’t realize this was a new thing since then.
Great dungeon Waycrest Manor. Probably my favorite in all of BfA.

I know most people hated this one because it was mechanic heavy, but i genuinely enjoyed it. Could be because i enjoyed the story and questline surrounding it

Yea. And it had a killer theme. I still listen to the music that dungeon has on loop sometimes.
didnt we just have those?
Oh no not waycrest that place gives me nightmare it reminds me too much of an horror movie
Yep, I agree here. That dungeon is dreadful.
I wish we went back even further and brought some of the really old dungeons back for M+ think one from each expansion or something on a rotation.
I think it’s unlikley we see much that’s older than Cata, since the cata ones we got back all had at least one boss replaced with a completely different boss fight.
they are meant to have some thematic tie-in with the story/plot
motherlode is about goblins (and the dungeon itself is set in whats left of kezan post cataclysm)
operation mechagon features gazlowe
they stuck theater of pain in there because i guess they wanted to give people another shot at getting sl portals, i predict midnight will have df dungeons for that purpose
Did we? I started playing only after the Undermine came out.
The really old ones would be so revamped they’d be hardly recognized

I know but one can be hopeful! It would be nostalgic and a new challenge.
If you think about it Blizz has been doing this since they introduced Timewalking. Of course they screwed that up by making the dungeons level up to us instead of leveling us down to them like it use to be.
I hope we could see some of the Cata/MoP/WoD revamps of vanilla dungeons which would be cool.
Scholomance, UBRS, Scarlet Cathedral, etc. which were already used in challenge modes.
