WoW: Dragonflight Outlined Dungeon Changes for Season 4

WoW Dragonflight Outlined Dungeon Changes for Season 4

Developer Blizzard Entertainment has taken to the official site of MMORPG World of Warcraft: Dragonflight to outline changes coming with Season 4. The new adjustments will affect dungeons, dungeon progression, and rewards.

At this point in time, Heroic dungeons are barely different enough from Normal ones at maximum level. Even that distinction only matters during a few days after reaching the level cap. Similarly, Mythic 0 dungeons rapidly lose relevance a few weeks into the expansion once the M+ season starts.

Lastly, the developers pointed out that the only true endgame dungeon mode (M+) revolves around a timer. This means that other than new mega-dungeons, there isn’t really a place for endgame players who enjoy a more methodical dungeon pacing and gameplay.

To address this combination of two underutilized difficulties, and a gap in meeting player demand, Blizzard is restructuring dungeon difficulty and rewards in Season 4:

  • Heroic difficulty and rewards will move up to roughly the current level of Mythic 0. These dungeons will remain available to queue into via Group Finder, though the item level requirement to queue will also go up accordingly.
  • Mythic 0 difficulty and rewards will move up to roughly the current level of Mythic 8-10 (this is a bit hand-wavy – numerically it’s close to M10 but not having a timer at all or affixes really offsets that quite a bit).
  • The existing Mythic+ system will pick up where that leaves off, such that a Mythic 5 in Season 4 is roughly equivalent in difficulty, rewards, and M+ Rating awarded, to a Mythic 15 today.

Check out the official site to see a detailed list of changes with an explanation for each.
