Dungeons

With the imminent launch of The War Within, players will be chomping at the bit to dive into some of those new dungeons and raids, full of everything from fire bees to angry Arathi.

In the wee hours of the morning of May 7, a certain famous crab went trolling on Twitter.

One thing Mists of Pandaria offered when it was new was group content by the double handful: scenarios for three people of any spec, 5-player dungeons, and raids in 10, 25, and later completely flexible sizes, as well as LFR and later the introduction of Mythic raids.

No World of Warcraft expansion is complete without a variety of dungeons and raids to kick things off with a bang, and The War Within certainly provides.

When a new season of content starts in World of Warcraft, it's fairly normal for dungeon difficulty to rise as item levels go up across the board; however, today Blizzard posted significant dungeon changes coming in Dragonflight Season 4.

One of the things that's evolved over time in World of Warcraft, and is going to evolve more in The War Within, is that you can make choices about what you get up to in the game.

Each season of Mythic+ has started bringing new dungeons with it, and Dragonflight patch 10.2 will be no different with a refreshed Mythic+ rotation that's a mix of a little new but mostly old.

One of the major focuses of Diablo 4's post-campaign gameplay is Nightmare Dungeons, but until recently, they weren't necessarily the form of gameplay you would want to engage in if you wanted to play in the most efficient manner.

Ever since Blizzard replaced Challenge Modes with Mythic+ dungeons in Legion, there have been pools of affixes -- additional effects like Grievous or Storming that each add additional difficulty to the dungeon beyond just the baseline Mythic+ expectation of "everything has more hit points and hits harder." These affixes rotate on a weekly basis, and to keep it from getting stale, Blizzard changes things from season to season, rotating the available dungeon pool, tweaking existing affixes, and adding a seasonal affix which always appear at keystone level 10 and above.

Look, no two players are ever going to agree about grind in MMOs.
