Greetings!

As we continue to watch everyone play Mythic+ on the PTR and take in your feedback, we wanted to share additional changes to this week’s PTR. Our changes this week aim to further lessen the impact of affixes on Mythic+ dungeon gameplay and to match our more challenging affixes to later keystone levels as players progress through the system.

Keystone Affixes

We have been evaluating our affix tiers and their impact on keystones. While we feel the change to bring affixes online at 7 and 14 is healthy, we wanted to also ensure that the right level of challenge is coming online at keystone levels 7 and 14. With that said, we feel our current level 7 affixes have a larger impact on the moment to moment gameplay for groups and have decided to switch the levels that our keystone affixes come online.

  • Periodic affixes are now added to keystones at level 7 (was 14).
    • Afflicted
    • Incorporeal
    • Volcanic
    • Entangling
    • Storming
  • Affixes that trigger on death or health ranges have been moved to level 14 (was 7).
    • Spiteful
    • Raging
    • Bursting
    • Bolstering
    • Sanguine

Affixes Updates

In addition to the change above, we’ve also reviewed the impact of our affixes and made tuning adjustments with the goal of lessening their overall impact on dungeon gameplay.

Level 7

  • Explosive
    • Explosive will be retired for Dragonflight Season 2 and replaced by Volcanic.
  • Incorporeal
    • Incorporeal Beings now fade away when combat with non-Incorporeal Beings has ended.
  • Entangling
    • Entangling’s snare effect has been reduced to 30% (was 50%).
    • Entangling now has a visual indicating the maximum range of the vine.
    • Entangling now has a distinct sound cue when applied to players.
  • Afflicted
    • Afflicted Souls health no longer scales after keystone level 20.

Level 14

  • Spiteful
    • Spiteful Shades melee damage reduced by 10%.
    • Spiteful Shades health and damage no longer scale after keystone level 20.
  • Raging
    • Raging now grants enemies immunity to crowd control effects for 20 seconds upon reaching 30% health remaining (was 50% increased damage done until defeated).
  • Bolstering
    • Bolster no longer increases the health of affected enemies (was health and damage).
  • Sanguine
    • Sanguine Ichor puddles now last for 12 seconds (was 20 seconds).

Thank you again for taking the time to play Mythic+ on the PTR! We appreciate your feedback and will continue to read, watch, play, and let you know as we make additional changes.

Holy *filtered* those are some massive changes, I always do high mplus keys and I will not argue the above changes. I don’t use a *filtered* ton of add ons and weak auras that play the game for me so the changes seem really good to me.

If they make dungeons with meaningful boss fights and mob mechanics, there’s no need to have a bunch of outrageous affixes. I would say with the amount of mobs in these DF dungeons that spam cast one shot mechanics and group wipers, I think the above changes are appreciated more then hated.

      War Within Alpha should be just around the corner! When do we expect the latest expansion testing to start?
      If you've been keeping an eye on the World of Warcraft 2024 roadmap, you're likely excited about what's coming up! According to the roadmap, the War Within Alpha is expected to kick off sometime after Patch 10.2.6, which was released two weeks ago, and before the beginning of Season 4.

      Typically, a season lasts 22 weeks. Right now, we're in the 20th week of Season 3, with just about two weeks left. Let's break down the hypothetical timeline:
      Season 3 Week 20: Week of March 26 Season 3 Week 21: Week of April 2 Season 3 Week 22: Week of April 9 Season 4 Week 1: Week of April 15 This schedule suggests that the War Within Alpha could potentially launch as early as next week or during the week of April 9.
      The most recent news from the War Within camp came on March 27, when Blizzard rolled out a fresh encrypted internal build on the WoW Dev CDN. The internal builds are becoming more and more frequent which indicates Blizzard's ramping up to start testing in the very near future.
      Placeholder for tweet 1772901807448052151 In the meantime, we encourage you to check out everything coming in the War Within pre-patch that will release 1 month before the actual expansion.

      Executive Producer Holly Longdale teased some upcoming experimental PvE-focused content that Blizzard will soon reveal to the community.
      It appears that Plunderstorm isn't the only new mode Blizzard plans to add to WoW this year.
      Holly Longdale today teased an upcoming PvE-oriented event that will soon be revealed to us. Holly might be talking about the "Timerunning Pandamonium," expected in Patch 10.2.7.

      Greetings Citizens of Azeroth,
      It’s been great seeing so many players taking the plunge into Plunderstorm and we’ve loved seeing all of the stories and feedback as this experimental event evolves. It will be exciting to see some of the community content creators going head-to-head as duos during the Plunderstorm Creator Royale on March 30!  This isn’t the end of the things we want to try in World of Warcraft, however, and we have more in store we can’t wait to show you.
      Dragonflight Season 4 is in route as testing begins on the PTR and we’ll have more news to share soon™ on the next experiment we have up our sleeves. We hope those of you who are looking for PvE focused content will enjoy what we’re planning, all while we continue to press forward on development of our next expansion for World of Warcraft— The War Within.
      We can’t wait to share with you all the many things the team has been hard at work on.
      With gratitude and excitement for what we’ll do together next,
      Holly Longdale
