Why is there no “Mythic+” mode for raids in World of Warcraft? Blizzard explains the difficulty.
If you want to be part of the elite in World of Warcraft and always have the best equipment level, you can’t miss mythic raids. Only here do you get the highest base item level. This is also the guaranteed end of the line.
In dungeons, however, there is the “Mythic+” system, where players can constantly reach new difficulty levels, making not only the enemies more challenging but also improving the rewards.
On Twitter, the Game Director Ion Hazzikostas was asked why such a system is not also expanded to raids. After all, it would keep raids fresh longer, instead of having weeks or months of downtime between new raids.
Hazzikostas replied that it would be difficult to reach the target audience. After all, who would that be? The people who have already completely cleared Mythic? That’s a very small group. Hazzikostas continued:
“If that is the target audience [who has cleared Mythic], then that is a pretty small group. And many of them enjoy a little break before they prepare for the next raid tier.”
However, a “Mythic+” mode for old raids could certainly have advantages. For example, raids like the Emerald Nightmare could still be relevant in patch 7.3 if you can get some of the best items there.
At the same time, however, current raids might become boring because “old tier sets” with increased stats could provide better bonuses than the new ones.
Cortyn says: Although I am far from experiencing the current final boss on Mythic, I don’t think much of the idea. It has taken long enough for players to see the “Mythic” mode as the “special” thing that defines raids. If you dilute that further by allowing a “Nachtfestung +7 Bloody”, my interest would further decline.
What do you think of the idea? Should Blizzard give “Mythic+” raids a chance and just try it out? Or are you throwing your hands up in despair and can hardly imagine a worse idea?
