Expanded Dungeon Search Available for Chromie Time

Recommended Posts

52354-chromie-time-expansion-leveling-sp

After choosing an expansion for leveling in Chromie Time, you will be locked to that expansion's dungeons first, but after a certain amount of time passes, the search will expand to dungeons from other expansions.

Chromie Time locks you to dungeons depending on the expansion you've picked, so you won't be able to queue up for dungeons from other expansions unless some time passes and the game asks you if you'd like to expand your search to dungeons from other expansions.

This is new to me, and cool from r/wow

How come no one mentioned dungeon leveling for tanks and healers? I imagine that it would be quite fast. Plus if you pick expansion with dungeon quests inside

Why don't they just allow for us to queue for all expansions by default? Is it really necessary to first wait a few minutes for players that will (depending on your chosen expansion) possibly never come, before you go to join a group that would've probably prefered you to be there a few minutes early as well? It seems like such a needlessly malicious game mechanic.

Well, still better than what we got before, I guess, so maybe we'll get there next expansion. ?‍♂️

Probably because it would require them retooling all of the "Icy/Shattered/Tranquil/Otherworldly/Scorched" Satchel of Helpful Goods.

Also, not that this is a fix, but if you're partied with someone in a different expansion timewalking, you gain access to their dungeons and vice versa. So you could just party with a friend, choose different expansions, and then queue in whichever expansion has a better queue time.

You really consider this minor inconvenience to them the most probable reason? They could just rename it to "Satchel of Helpful Goods" without an adjective infront of it and it could contain loot fitting the completed dungeon. No, I am certain there is something else. Is there an official statement on the topic? I am sure this question comes up often.

That's a very inelegant solution for something that should be much simpler. And I just noticed that my original point was wrong. It arguably got worse this expansion actually, as you can only queue for dungeons of a single zone, whereas in BfA and prior it was usually more than that.

I'm considering the fact that there are already multiple iterations of the satchel for each content expansion, with separate drops that some people collect for transmog purposes. For example, pre-squish there was a 15-30 bag, and a 30-60 bag for Classic content.

Transmogs in satchels? Are you sure? How do max level characters farm those?

But regardless, even if that minor sounding thing was as complicated as you make it out to be, so what? Just give the player the satchel that belongs to the expansion the completed dungeon was part of. You queue for a random dungeon and get Ahn'kahet? Here is your Frozen Satchel. You really need a Frozen Satchel? Don't queue random, but for WotLK. 

You said it yourself. With the level squish they had to rework that whole concept anyway, so what is your point? If anything, if what you seem to assume is the reason, then it is even more difficult now to hunt specific satchels, as there is no longer a quick and reliable way to queue for a dungeon that is not part of your chosen add-on.

      Today's hotfixes are still very Plunderstorm-heavy, but we do get fixes for more achievement-related mount issues and PvP catch-up, in addition to the limited time event's adjustments.
      March 27 (Source)
      Achievements
      Fixed bugs causing mounts related to A World Awoken to be unavailable, including Bestowed Ottuk Vanguard, Bestowed Trawling Mammoth, Bestowed Thunderspine Packleader, Bestowed Sandskimmer, Bestowed Ohuna Spotter, Coralscale Salamanther, Stormtouched Bruffalon, and Taivan. Player versus Player
      Fixed an issue that prevented Splintered Sparks of Dreams from dropping from PvP sources while eligible for catch-up. Plunderstorm
      The Storm’s fury swells! Lightning strikes during the final stage of the Storm are faster and more dangerous than before. There is now a delay of 20 seconds after being revived where players no longer drop collected Plunder. Additional enemies now spawn at Witherbark Village, the wild area northeast of Go’Shek Farm, and the wild area between Witherbark Village and Boulderfist Hall. Fixed an issue where swapping back to default sword and gun appearances were not saving correctly. Fixed an issue so that now, picking up an additional rank 2 spell while the same rank 2 spell is equipped properly grants the rank 4 version of the spell. The Captain’s Orders quest “X Marks the Spot” now requires 1 item to be picked up (was 2 items).

      Well that didn't take long! We found out someone had broken the 700,000 Plunder milestone yesterday evening, and we're already done with the full amount now! Soularpower_ managed to grind it out a couple of hours ago in duos, and grabbed the Plunderkind achievement, so huge congratulations! It's been a week and a day since the event was released, and despite there being plenty of Plunder drop buffs since then it's still great to see someone get it all done already. 


      Unsurprisingly, the first thing Soularpower_ after reaching that goal was... play more Plunderstorm! He's actually still at it if now you want to check the stream out.

      Here's our first post-patch look at the Mythic+ log rankings. While the patch didn't really touch any of the DPS or tank specs, there's still some movement there, especially in the raw DPS chart. Healers got some solid changes in the patch, and the definitely had an effect.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top percentiles are extremely stable, which makes sense since the patch didn't really bring any significant changes for DPS specs. We have to go down to number 7 to see the first bit of movement, as Destruction moves two up, leaving its fellow Warlock down in 9th, as Arms gets between them, gaining 3 spots. Havoc closes out the top 10 three down, and right behind it we find the newly buffed Elemental moving three up. While Augmentation is being properly calculated, we still find an Evoker in the bottom 3, as Devastation drops one down and takes Marksmanship's place.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      It took Shadow a little longer to get into the top in the generalist bracket, as we find it in 3rd now, pushing Outlaw down one. Balance also moves up, 2 spots into 6th, as it and Arms take advantage of Havoc's fall. The Demon Hunter finds itself 3 down in 9th, while Fury remains stable at the very end of the top 10.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      While Outlaw remains at the top, pretty much everything's changing beneath it. Shadow and Retribution joined forces and moved two up together, breaking into the top 3. Fire is also on the rise, gaining 3 spots, and right behind it we find another big leaper, as Arms moves a whopping 5 spots up.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
      All Percentiles Tank (Points)
      There's actually some solid movement here, as we see Paladin take 2nd away from DK and Druid take Monk down, with Warrior remaining in last place and DH being far ahead of the pack.
      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Healer (Points)
      Healers had some significant changes with the patch, but it hasn't stopped Monk from remaining at the top. Druid moves into 2nd, taking Discipline Priest down a peg, and it seems the Holy Priest patch reworks helped it out, as it gains a spot in 4th.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs and u.gg. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides, as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      In Dragonflight Season 4, Awakened/Fated raids will be on a weekly rotation.
      Upon accessing the Adventure Guide and navigating to the Raids section, you'll notice a green gem icon beside the raid that's Awakened for the current week.

      When a raid is Awakened, bosses are more powerful and loot drops are upgraded to a higher item level. The upcoming season revisits the Fated system introduced in Shadowlands Season 4.

      We've already taken a look at all the items coming to the Trading Post next month, as the Season 4 PTR revealed them, but now let's see them in movement as well! MrGM has detailed everything coming in April, from the awesome Dreadwake mount to a pretty cool polearm, some new capes, and all the other pirate-themed items. Let's take a look. 

      If you'd rather just scroll through some images, you can head on to our original post here.
