  • Blizzard's upcoming patch 11.0.7 includes the Siren Isle update and class balance adjustments.

The new one World of Warcraft survey was conducted to gauge player interest in potential Mythic+ Dungeon changes, although any changes would not occur until the current season is over.

The news came as World of Warcraft gearing up to release Patch 11.0.7 Tuesday, December 17th. The new update takes players to Siren Isle, where they will help Earthen, Goblins and Arathi brave the island's dangerous conditions and uncover its mysteries.

World of Warcraft fans finally find the secret 20th anniversary bracket

World of Warcraft fans are finally cracking a series of secret puzzles for the 20th anniversary event, unlocking a much-coveted mount in the process.

In the days leading up to the Siren Isle content update, World of Warcraft players took to social media to discuss part of a new survey that was sent out. On the r/wow subreddit, a Reddit user named SpunkMcKullins posted a screenshot of an email survey sent out to some World of Warcraft players and noted two Mythic+ questions in the survey. The first question asked how interested World of Warcraft players would add a death counter over a timer to Mythic+ Dungeon keys, similar to how delve into The war within handled. Currently, timers in Mythic+ Dungeons are a way to encourage players to play fast and smart, and will punish players who take too long or die too much by significantly reducing the rewards received at the end of a dungeon.


World of Warcraft is considering adding a death counter to Mythic+ Dungeons


  • A World of Warcraft survey measures player interest in adding a death counter for Mythic+ Dungeon runs over a timer.
  • The proposed death counter for Mythic+ Dungeons would be similar to one already used in Delves.
  • World of Warcraft also asked players if they should use tags when searching for groups.
  • Responses to the World of Warcraft survey have been mixed.

Another question asked players about adding tags to the Seeking Group page, with some examples being that a group is either learning Mythic+ Dungeons or looking for specific classes. Initial responses to the survey on the r/wow subreddit were mixed. While some World of Warcraft players were fine with having no timer to worry about, others expressed concern that runs would take much longer to complete and said cooldowns like Shaman's Bloodlust or Heroism would be mandatory for every pull.


Blizzard recently said so World of Warcrafts 11.0.7 update would make higher Mythic+ Dungeon keys offer more Harbinger Crests and other rewards. Although any major changes to Mythic+ Dungeons won't happen until Season 2 arrives shortly after World of Warcraft Patch 11.1, only time will tell what Blizzard has in store.
