Plans for Mythic+ in Dragonflight - Keeping Mythic+ Fresh, Returning Dungeon Range

During the Twitter Spaces chat with Taliesin & Evitel, Game Direction Ion Hazzikostas spoke more about the plans for Mythic+ in Dragonflight, explaining better their idea of having returning dungeons as part of the Mythic+ rotation.

No Shadowlands and Battle for Azeroth Dungeons

His first comment was that both Shadowlands and BFA dungeons are too recent to be considered «past dungeons», so the pool of possible dungeons slated to return for Dragonflight seasons include Legion and older expansions only.

Defining Modern Dungeons

Ion also mentioned that the WoW Team considers Mists of Pandaria as the starting point for what they call «modern» dungeons, as dungeons from Classic, TBC, Wrath, and Catalysm don't hold up in terms of visual fidelity or mechanical complexity, making them not suitable for Dragonflight. With this, dungeons from Mists of Pandaria, Warlords of Draenor, and Legion are eligible for to come back for Dragonflight seasons.

Ion Hazzikostas via Twitter Spaces Can you see it going all the way back to classic dungeons? That's unlikely. Maybe, you know, in a world where we are re completely reworking or reimagining some older dungeons as we did in some later expansions, that version could hold up, but I think they don't both in terms of visual fidelity and mechanical complexity. Those dungeons I think wouldn't be suitable for modern gameplay. I think internally the team probably draws the bar at Mists of Pandaria and onwards in terms of what's still feels consistent with how we designed. Today, it's often say that we couldn't go earlier than that, but we would also need to rework them significantly if we did so.
