World of Warcraft Survey May Hint at Future Change to Mythic+ Dungeons

Summary

  • A WoW survey considers a new death counter for Mythic+ Dungeons, like Delves.
  • Players’ reactions are mixed to potential changes in WoW’s Mythic+ Dungeon system.
  • Blizzard’s upcoming Patch 11.0.7 includes the Siren Isle update and class balance adjustments.



According to a survey sent to World of Warcraft players, Blizzard is considering changing Mythic+ Dungeons to using a death counter instead of timers, similar to how Delves are currently handled. The new World of Warcraft survey was made to gauge player interest in potential Mythic+ Dungeon changes, though any changes made would not happen until the current season has concluded.

The news came as World of Warcraft gears up to release Patch 11.0.7 on Tuesday, December 17. The new update will take players to the Siren Isle, where they will assist the Earthen, Goblins, and Arathi in braving the island’s hazardous conditions and uncovering its mysteries. Additionally, some of World of Warcraft‘s classes will receive balance adjustments in Patch 11.0.7 to make them more competitive in PVE and PVP. A few of the specializations that will be buffed in the Siren Isle update include Havoc Demon Hunters, Marksmanship Hunters, Affliction Warlocks, and Unholy Death Knights.

In the days leading up to the Siren Isle content update, World of Warcraft players took to social media to discuss one part of a new survey that was sent out. On the r/wow subreddit, a Reddit user named SpunkMcKullins posted a screenshot of an email survey that was sent out to some World of Warcraft players and noted two Mythic+ questions in the survey. The first question asked how interested World of Warcraft players would be in adding a death counter over a timer to Mythic+ Dungeon keys, similar to how Delves in The War Within are handled. Currently, timers in Mythic+ Dungeons are a way to incentivize players to play fast and smartly and will penalize players who take too long or die too much by significantly reducing the rewards received at the end of a dungeon.


World of Warcraft Considering Adding a Death Counter to Mythic+ Dungeons


  • A World of Warcraft survey is gauging player interest in adding a death counter for Mythic+ Dungeon runs over a timer.
  • The proposed death counter for Mythic+ Dungeons would be similar to one already used in Delves.
  • World of Warcraft also asked players if they would use tags when looking for groups.
  • Response to the World of Warcraft survey has been mixed.

Another question asked players about adding tags to the Looking for Group page, with some examples being that a group is either learning Mythic+ Dungeons or seeking specific classes. Initial responses to the survey on the r/wow subreddit were mixed. While some World of Warcraft players were fine with having no timer to worry about, others expressed concerns that runs would take much longer to complete and stated that cooldowns like the Shaman’s Bloodlust or Heroism would be mandatory for each pull.


Blizzard recently stated that World of Warcraft‘s 11.0.7 update would make higher Mythic+ Dungeon keys offer more Harbinger Crests and other rewards. Though any major changes to Mythic+ Dungeons will not happen until Season 2 arrives shortly after World of Warcraft Patch 11.1, only time will tell what Blizzard has in store.
