Summary
According to a survey sent toWorld of Warcraftplayers, Blizzard is considering changing Mythic+ Dungeons to using a death counter instead of timers, similar to how Delves are currently handled. The newWorld of Warcraftsurvey 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 asWorld of Warcraftgears 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 ofWorld of Warcraft’s classes will receive balance adjustmentsin 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 someWorld of Warcraftplayers and noted two Mythic+ questions in the survey. The first question asked how interestedWorld of Warcraftplayers would be in adding a death counter over a timer to Mythic+ Dungeon keys, similar tohow Delves inThe War Withinare 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.

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 someWorld of Warcraftplayers were fine with having no timer to worry about, others expressed concerns that runs would take much longer to complete and stated that cooldownslike the Shaman’s Bloodlust or Heroismwould be mandatory for each pull.
Blizzard recently stated thatWorld 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 arrivesshortly afterWorld of WarcraftPatch 11.1, only time will tell what Blizzard has in store.
