Patch 9.1 will coincide with a weekly Shadowlands Dungeons event, which is actually quite nice.
One thing I am wondering though is how they will play out the Heroic raid lvl reward : on the one hand they generally make sure that heroic raiding ilvl items are not available before the heroic raid is available, on the other hand it seems a bit strange to have an SL dungeon week without the reward for completing 4 mythic +.
Do you think they will cancel that week ? Cancel the reward ? Keep the reward but you only get it on July 7th ? Keep it as it is ?
I think we will get a 213 item this time which is okay as the raid offically not out .But i do hope i am wrong and they might give us a new heroic piece for waiting so long .
If I recall it right this has already happened once that we got the dungeon even before the new tier was officially out. In cases like those we will be getting a heroic ilvl piece from the previous tier.
As pointed out we will most certainly get Nathria ilvl. However it wouldnt be a bad business move to give a Mythic Nathria Cache instead of the HC as some sort of cookie. Or maybe even a 233 Nathria chest. One time only obviously.
