Blizzard Group InterviewDungeon Choice ExplainedMichael from Dot Esports: In terms of the dungeons that are selected from season to season, do you try to tie in those into what is happening into the Dragonflight story? Morgan: Definitely not coincidence. There are four dungeons that are just the remaining Dragonflight Dungeons that were not in season 1 Mythic+: Neltharus, Uldaman, Halls of Infusion, Brackenhide. That's four of the dungeons and the other four are Underrot, Freehold, Neltharion's Lair and Vortex Pinnacle. In terms of how that pool is chosen, it's a smattering of ideas and philosophies there. Neltharion's Lair, like you pointed out, there's definitely not a coincidence; Embers of Neltharion, we have a dungeon from Legion called Neltharion's Lair, it also has Drogbar in it and they're making an appearance again in Zaralek Cavern, so that one felt like a slam dunk. Also, Vortex Pinnacle also feels like it has some story beats and implications to follow up on there, but there are also some that are fan-favorites. Like Freehold was one that we felt the playerbase... everytime those community threads pop up around "what dungeons do you want to see in Season 2", Freehold is mentioned in every one of those threads when they pop up, so being a fan-favorite had to be included. Underrot, interestingly, we look at the Mythic+ dungeon pool as a cohesive experience, the way we look at a raid as one cohesive experience and we want to make sure that we have coverage in terms of what kind of damage profiles are we asking you to do, what kind of utility are we asking you to use, and felt like Underrot has a lot of fun core WoW gameplay mechanics with interesting dispel profiles. So it really just helps out round out that seasonal package of what we had available for the players, trying to create the most varied experience possible while also looking for opportunies for story and narrative hits.

Steve: Narrative is one consideration, but it doesn't mean that all of these things are tied super tightly to the core story that's going on. Some of them can be thematic hits and some of them are in there for other reasons like Morgan said so it's really a combination when we're looking at what dungeons to pick. Brackenhide and Dungeon DifficultyMorgan: On top of that, trust us, we've heard the feedback around "hey when season 2 rolls around, if you've done Brackenhide on Mythic 0 the first week.. it was pretty hard!" So definitely taking a close look at individual dungeons, and probably cutting some things that are existing today in Mythic 0 and really asking "once affixes are in the mix, do you really need this pull to have 3 creatures that all need to have a kick rotation?" or something like that. Very very much we have been discussing that.

We'll probably never have speed M+ dungeons like that ever again.Comment by WildnightshadeFreehold was my favorite BFA Mythic Plus Dungeon.
I'm still nervous about Brackenhide Hollow, those diseases hopefully will be tuned down before Season 2 launch.Comment by NarhwalsOh hell no not neltharions lair. People not understanding how the shuffle works, the trash packs where $%^& falls from the ceiling pls no
