[Sunwell Team 17]

Dear players,

First of all, we hope you are staying healthy, wish you all the best during this rough time.
Long awaited moment just arrived! We would like to share information regarding Mythic+ project with you, and start the discussion about your expectations.

 

When M+?

24th October
12:00 PM

 

 

"The Mythic+ Dungeon system is a known mode of content that offers players an endlessly scaling challenge in 5-player dungeons. The system allows players to compete against a timer, similar to Challenge Modes, but has much more lenient times so that the emphasis is on solid execution rather than pure speed."
~ www.wowhead.com

General information

Mythic+ was implemented in Legion as an alternative system of completing dungeons in a harder form, mainly for people who did not have time for raiding and players who wanted to compete in something new and in a more challenging mode. It is obviously the case that Wrath of the Lich King expansion doesn't have such a system, so our development had to find a workaround in order to create a comparable gameplay. Inspired and based on retail, the following is a basic, step-by-step described mythic+ dungeon system we can provide you.

Overview

1. Completing a Mythic+ dungeon will reward mainly Mythic Power, more info in Loot & Times section;
2. Mythic+ dungeons have different difficulty levels: a level 3 dungeon will be more difficult than a level 2, but easier than a level 5. There is no cap of available Mythic+ dungeon levels. However, greater levels will have an outstanding mechanics and so, the difficulty increases rapidly.
3. Enemies in the dungeons will deal more damage and will have a higher health pools with each level your party conquers.
4. A higher-level Mythic+ dungeon rewards better loot, more info in Loot & Times section.
 

Mythic Keylevel & Mythic Keystones

1. Every player starts at level 1 and has to push forward. Completing the current level of M+ will unlock next one which is tougher than previous one, but if you find it too hard you can always play at levels you have already completed.
2. Mythic Obelisk is located at the entrance of the dungeon and it will offer you a quest. It requires a Mythic Keystone and it's consumed upon completion. Player that finished the quest will also set the level you will fight against.
3. The Keystone will be obtainable just by playing the game. There will be a few new quests in the world for playing battleground, such as  soloQ, RDF, RBG and arenas or by doing the open world quests which will be implemented for m+. These quests will offer a Mythic Keystone as areward. Finishing the Mythic dungeon within a Gold Time will also grant a Keystone for all party members.
4. In order to enter the Mythic dungeon, the party leader will have the convert group to Mythic, which is possible to do in Dalaran where the new NPC will be added. It will also allow you to teleport yourself and your teammates to the instance location. Make sure that your dungeon difficulty is set to NORMAL, not heroic.

 

Mechanics

1. Each instance will have 4 affixes that will change time to time and a few static ones that will never change.
2. Some of enemies (both boss and non-boss creatures) will receive additional spells with higher Mythic+ dungeon levels;

Affixes:

 - Broken Bones: Decreases Parry, Dodge and Block chances by 20%. The duration of this debuff will be permanent in Mythic difficulty since the first level.

 - Spell Bouncing: When the player successfully receives spell damage from trash creatures, it has a chance to bounce off the player and hit every player within 30 yards. Mechanic is permanent since the first level (movie).

 - Army of the Dead: Occasionally a pack of hostile ghouls will spawn and attack players. Happens only while in combat with trash creatures. This Affix will not trigger during boss encounters (movie).

 - Fury of Drogon: Drogon will spawn above one of the party members and blast AoE damage on the ground. This Affix will not trigger during boss encounters (movie).

 - Holy Bomb: Occasionally, the Holy Bomb will spawn near one of the party members and stun the entire group until it's killed. This Affix will not trigger during boss encounters (movie).

 - Buff: Every time a trash creature dies, the creatures near him will gain a +5% damage increase buff. This aura can stack (movie).

 - Mojo Pool: Every time a trash creature dies it will leave a pool of Mojo that will damage players who sit on it (movie).

 - CC break: Trash creatures may occasionally break from crowd control effects.

 - Mortal Wound: Trash creatures have a chance to apply a healing reduction debuff when damaging the players. 

Mythic+ Seasons

1. Mythic Keystones won't disappear and your Mythic Level won't decrease with the ID reset on Wednesday. We want to make our mythics more like in league seasons that will last for around a month where groups with the fastest Mythic Level dungeons completion will be additionally rewarded.

Loot & Times

1. Once the group starts a mythic instance via Obelisk, a timer will start to run till you finish the instance. Your objective is to beat the timer, and if you do, you will be awarded appropriately.

2. Gold time on specific key level is dynamic and it will also dictates the brackets for silver and bronze timers. The current record defines the Gold timer of the instance. The timer within you will complete the instance will be compared against Gold timer and you will be awarded accordingly:
2.1. [Gold] +300% to Mythic Power gained + Mythic Keystone for every party member.
2.2. [Silver] +200% to Mythic Power gained.
2.3. [Bronze] +120% to Mythic Power gained.
2.4. Every further timer will not get any bonuses.

3. Every time a player dies in a Mythic instance you will get 5 seconds penalty on the timer.
4. Throughout the Mythic instance there will be hidden events, completing those will reward you bonus time (we will also reward long events, such as the Pyramid event in Zul'Farrak).

5. Defeating bosses will spawn a chest that will reward your group with consumables for further progression. Each time you will finish the Mythic instance you will get a loot point which is exchangeable for random loot by speaking to your Mythic Companion. Completing higher Mythic levels will give you a chance for better bracket loot.

Below we present the initial design (Mythic Power values may change) of Mythic Power formula that will drop on Mythic dungeons:

50% of above for the next time player face the level he already done
Level bronze: Mythic Power gained x1.2
Level silver: Mythic Power gained x2
Level gold: Mythic Power gained x3

Formula for <6 Mythic levels: keylevel x100 for the first time
Formula for <6 Mythic levels: (keylevel x100)/2 for the every next level repeat
Formula for >6 Mythic levels: 500+150(keylevel-5) for the first time
Formula for >6 Mythic levels: [500+150(keylevel-5)]/2 for the every next level repeat

• Level 1 completion (first time): 100
• Level 2 completion (first time): 200
• Level 3 completion (first time): 300
• Level 4 completion (first time): 400
• Level 5 completion (first time): 500
• Level 6 completion (first time): 650
• Level 7 completion (first time): 800
• Level 8 completion (first time): 950

6. Mythic Power: Mythic Power is a new emblem-like currency that will always drop from any Mythic+ dungeon version. You will be able to exchange Mythic Power for plenty of items by speaking to your companion:

a) honor packs;
b) normally unavailable ingame items, tools for your Mythic Companion and more below. We will add more items to the store in the future.
 

Mythic Events

Aside from new challenging mechanics in dungeons on mythic difficulty, there are also special events that can be experienced only in this mode. These special events are completely optional to do, completing them will decrease your total time during mythic dungeons. They engage players to do special activities such as finding hidden NPCs, solve puzzles, and so on. We won't describe these in detail to not ruin the fun of discovering them.

Mythic Companion

You can unlock the Mythic Companion through the new Dalaran NPC.

1. Companion will offer you tools such as portable bank, portable guild bank, portable auction house or Mass Resurrection.
2. Companion can be spawned in the entire game with some restrictions (BG, Arenas, WG, etc) and some features may be disabled in latest content, ie. in upcoming ICC it won't be able to use Mass Resurrection.
3. It will be the players personal Mythic Power vendor - so you can change your obtained Mythic Power for rewards using this companion.
4. Your companion is also fully customizable for a small Mythic Power fee. 
5. It acts like normal companion - it cannot get into combat, cannot be attacked by anything, etc;

 

6. Mythic companion will be developed as totally new, beyond-game feature. We plan to extend mythic system and mythic companion system in the near future.

Season Rewards

1. There will be new ranking on Sunwell main page with fastest Mythic level parties, we predict in-kind prizes for the best times (probably Amazon vouchers).
2. We want to provide rewards every season.
3. Groups that achieve the highest mythic key level for specific instance during season or fastest time if multiple groups manage to do so will be immortalized for the season and will have their statues somewhere in Dalaran. A 1:1 copy, including gear and looks. On top of that we will award physical goodies (Sunwell boxes, Amazon vouchers, etc).

-Do we need to defeat every single boss in dungeon or only reach the last boss and defeat him?
-What about loot from mobs and bosses, will it be same giving green/blue items and money that we can pick up, or this Slowing-Down-feature will be removed so we wont be able to loot anything and we will get additionnal money and items from mobs automaticly After we finish the whole dungeon?
-Will bosses have separate statistics increase like the HC boosted raids? (e.g. all the spining bosses will get great damage increase, forcing people to Follow the proper tactic and Move Away from them; or Svala Sorrowgrave valkyria boss from Utgarde Pinnacle will have her sword falling down Faster and will instant kill person etc.)

All mythic bosses have new abilities, so you have to come up with completely new tactics (they do still use some of their basic spells)
