As we know, S4 now includes dungeons from WoD, BfA, and Legion, in addition to 2 (1 technically) from Shadowlands. Without changing formula for DBM, this would mean in S4 users would have mods for only 2 of the 8 M+ dungeons for season 4 while still having to download "DBM Dungeons" pack anyways to get the other 6. Dragonflight has already stated it's also going to mix and match old with new with 4 dungeons from current content and 4 picked from old in each season. This means S4 isn't just a one off, it's a new precedent.

The more stuff that is bundle into core, the slower the CI/packaging and zip scanning/approval is. I've seen the effect this has with the choice I made with classic module bundling being "All in one" because TBC all in one zips took longer to be available for download on all sites, and Wrath betas that include; Wrath, Burning Crusade, and Classic modules, for classic are taking even longer (we're talking 20+ minutes from time I push update before it is ready for download on all sites). I'm ok with this for classic though, because classic is pretty static and doesn't need updates (particularly alphas) to go out rapidly.

DBM retail however, when I push a fix for a PTR or beta or day 1 mythic raiding, I want that fix to be downloadable as fast as possible. This means the more modular DBM is the better. Especially since those dungeon mods are updated far less frequently. Not to mention the data being saved not having to re-download almost 2 decades of dungeon mods every time DBM is updated because something was changed in core or a current content raid.

What does having two downloads vs one giga download do?

Faster error checking and packaging, faster scanning/approval of those packages when uploaded to 3rd party sites. This leads to getting updates to users faster (especially frequent alpha updates during betas or cutting edge mythic content), and smaller download sizes/data usage overall.DBM-CoreDeadly Boss Mods - DungeonsDeadly Boss Mods - CoreDeadly Boss Mods - Dungeons

Comment by dlbert2000Am I crazy or hasn't it already been like this for years? It says DBM dungeons was created in 2019Comment by StrungengI dont use DBM since i discovered BigWigs, but it could be even more packed, raids and dungeons, and separated modules for each xpac/current seasons.Comment by mysticalosAm I crazy or hasn't it already been like this for years?

DBM has been incredibly stable and performant for me and my guild over the years. Any change that helps them maintain sanity and performance on a project that large is a welcomed one I'd say.Comment by StrungengI dont use DBM since i discovered BigWigs, but it could be even more packed, raids and dungeons, and separated modules for each xpac/current seasons.Comment by AphelyiteI'm hoping it brings some updates :[ most of the seasonal dungeons from old expansions seem to just stop working for timers/abilities after about 20 seconds into a fight. Like the last boss in Iron Docks and Mage Towers.Comment by mysticalosI'm hoping it brings some updates :[ most of the seasonal dungeons from old expansions seem to just stop working for timers/abilities after about 20 seconds into a fight.

Then I found post about this change on Reddit. Thanks for such a late info on this topic...Comment by KaiteirAll of the curseforge links just open to DBM core. Nothing says DBM dungeons?Comment by StoneLegionDoes curse still pay out per file per download? ;) ;)Comment by VSozonovAlthough i use and like them, a part of me wishes that Blizzard didn't allow any addon in wow at all.
