Dungeon Changes & New Dungeons We Could See in Classic+

With BlizzCon only two months away, content creators, players, and other outlets have begun speculating about what the next iteration of Classic could look like. While we recently covered the
Specializations that deserve changes
in Classic+, today we're looking at some dungeon changes proposed by the community.
Specialization Changes in Classic+
In this article, we'll be going over both survey results and player submissions from the
Classic+ Project
. If you'd like to take the survey or pitch an idea yourself, feel free to
visit wowclassic.plus
to learn more.
Dungeon Changes in Classic+
As a part of the wowclassic.plus survey, players were asked to choose the top 3 dungeons that they think need major revamps in the next iteration of Classic. Please note that the options did not include level 60 Dungeons, such as Scholomance, Stratholme, Dire Maul, or Upper Blackrock Spire.
Many respondents agreed that Gnomeregan, The Stockades, and Sunken Temple could all use a rework in Classic+, as the pathing in these dungeons tends to be convoluted or repetitive. Luckily, Blizzard already revamped Gnomeregan and Sunken Temple during Season of Discovery, so it's possible that these could be used in Classic+ as well, but maybe tuned as 5-player Dungeons rather than level-up raids.
In addition to individual dungeons that could use a revamp, the majority of players agree that they would like to see some kind of
Heroic Dungeon
system implemented in Classic+, similar to how Heroic dungeons currently work in The Burning Crusade Anniversary. While Heroic dungeons can be a fun challenge, players also agree that they
do not want
a timed
Mythic+
system, similar to Retail WoW.
Players also agree on a couple of quality-of-life features, including the current Looking for Group tool that exists on Anniversary servers. While players want the option to find groups quickly with
Dungeon Finder
, they agree that this tool should not instantly teleport players to the dungeons, but instead act as a way to form groups easily.
While players agree that they
do not want
the Dungeon Finder Tool to teleport them to the instance upon forming a group, 72% of players agree that activating
Summoning Stones
at the entrance of dungeons would be a nice quality-of-life improvement.
New Dungeons in Classic+
In addition to revamping older content and introducing more features, players have also been discussing
new dungeons
that they would like to see in a future version of Classic.
Syndicate Conclave
The highest upvoted user-submitted suggestion for a new dungeon is the
Syndicate Conclave
in the Alterac Mountains. The user suggests that this dungeon would be intended for players level 36-41, and would serve as the final blow to the Syndicate terrorizing the surrounding area.
Entering this dungeon would take place as a follow-up to reclaiming Stromgarde Keep, and members of the Ravenholdt faction would offer quests and rewards to destroy these Syndicate fiends for good. The user also mentions that there could be more quests specifically for Rogues, where they could earn significant rewards and reputation with Ravenholdt.
Scarlet Enclave
The second-highest performing suggestion comes from the final raid of Season of Discovery - the
Scarlet Enclave
. Like the Syndicate Conclave, this dungeon would wrap up the storyline of the infamous Scarlet Crusade.
This raid was highly regarded when it was introduced in Season of Discovery, and Blizzard
could
rebalance this instance to turn it into a 5-player dungeon, rather than a raid. The user who submitted this suggestion also mentions that this dungeon could serve as the end of the Legendary
Ashbringer
questline, where players who looted the
Corrupted Ashbringer
from Naxxramas would come to the Scarlet Enclave to cleanse and redeem this iconic two-handed sword.
Karazhan Crypts
Another entry from Season of Discovery, players were extremely impressed with the Karazhan Crypts dungeon, and many agree that they would like to see this instance in a future version of Classic.
In addition to this new dungeon, the user suggests that players will be sent to the
Karazhan Crypts
as a part of a questline involving the mages of Dalaran. As part of the attunement questline, players would work with the Kirin’Tor and Mediv to investigate leylines and help contain loose and dangerous magics around Azeroth.
Deatholme
Originally introduced as the final subzone of the Ghostlands in The Burning Crusade, players agree that
Deatholme
could also work as a high-level dungeon.
While the user who submitted this entry provides few details, this dungeon would appear in the new zone of Quel'Thalas. Even as an outdoor subzone in The Burning Crusade, there is enough content within its walls to warrant a separate instance.
Venture Co. Harbor
The next user-submitted dungeon on this list is very unique, as it would be the only dungeon to include the Venture Co. as the main enemy, and it would be the first and only dungeon in the Zone of Stonetalon Mountains. The user suggests that
Venture Co. Harbor
would fit on the northern side of Stonetalon, connecting the Windshear Crag with Mirkfallon Lake. Perhaps the area where
Gerenzo Wrenchwhistle
resides above Cragpool Lake could serve as this dungeon's entrance.
This instance would be level-appropriate for the zone, intended for players who are level 25-30, with the final boss being level 28. Alliance players could be sent to this area after the completion of the Defias storyline, and Horde players would align with the Steamwheedle Cartel to put an end to their competition.
Timbermaw Prison
The final dungeon idea with over 1,000 upvotes is the
Timbermaw Prison
in the zone of Azshara. The user suggests that while leveling in Felwood and Azshara, players will learn that the Timbermaw furbolgs are in charge of imprisoning Fel influences. With the corruption of Azeroth growing out of control, the shackles binding these dangerous prisoners are weakening, and it is up to us, the players, to intervene before they're able to escape.
The second part of this entry would lead to an epic adventure alongside Illidan Stormrage, where players learn more of what is buried beneath Azeroth, explore the Emerald Dream, and eventually make their way to a Vanilla version of Northrend.
These are just the highest-voted Dungeon ideas with over 1,000 votes. If you'd like to explore more user-submitted ideas or submit one yourself, head over to the
World section of wowclassic.plus

Turtle was THE Classic Plus and they were developing so much for the future and Microslop killed it! You will never get Classic Plus ever!
We're literally getting Classic+, that is the point of this discussion.
Turtle WoW were just IP thieves who build a few customizations on the back of someone else's work.
Get them dude! I hope Blizzard raises the subscription price to cover all this new and awesome content!

Lol I love how under every one of the posts about Classic+ there's a private server brokie saying "nO iTs gOnNa sUk" ... You are wrong and Classic+ is gonna be AWESOME, so please stop spreading pessimism and go waste some more time on illegal stolen IP servers that are soon gonna shut down.
Real, some private servers are fun but most are pay to win slop. Turtlewow and ascension were/are fun (Granted ascension is pay to win slop) but most are just uncreative pay to win garbage
