Mythic+ Affixes How can affixes be something that is more fun? Andrew DeSousaThe conversation around affixes, there's always going to be some tension there due to the nature of them — they create friction, they pose new challenges as you go up the key levels and its something they talk a lot about on the team on how to address that going forward.
I don't have anything concrete to share with you today, that said, we're always experimenting. We made big changes in Dragonflight Season 2 and in Season 4, we've pushed the last bucket of affixes deeper into the pool, so we're looking to put the right place to put that kind of challenge and the right ways to challenge players as a whole as we go forward — the main goals being the ability to present extra challenge as you go up in the key levels, and places for week over week change and lastly a goal that we're always striving towards is an opportunity for your class to shine on some weeks and you have a really cool part of your kit. Are there are new Mythic+ affixes and are there any remaining Seasonal affixes? Andrew DeSousaWe don't have plans for Seasonal Affixes in the War Within currently.
That said, that doesn't mean they're gone for good. Like I mentioned earlier, affixes are going to continue to evolve and we're going to iterate on them and we'll going to take community sentiment and feedback in when we make those decisions.
