What's the point of Season 4?

No new dungeons, no new raids, no new transmogs (all of the raid sets are recycled), is there a new quest zone or rep?

What is the point of this season?

It was blunderstorm or a raid tier

Season 4 sort of acts as ’ see what you missed on ’ type of season, raids and M+ are nurfed to the ground, player power has risen, it’ll make clearing that heroic / mythic raid easier, getting that higher M+ key / score easier etc.

if you cleared all your desired content, then there’s not much ‘new’ but you’ll still probably have a blast for a few weeks all the same.

But for a lot of people, this season helps them see the content they missed, if they joined DF late, couldn’t raid initially etc etc.

Stalling for time until TWW, with as little effort as they can get away with.

It’s their way of extending content without adding more content. This avoids a long last season as we used to see prior to Shadowlands.

I’m not a fan myself but I presume engagement was significant enough last expansion to warrant doing it again.

I wouldnt minded if they fixed the mmr in season 3 first or the issues regards healers mmr in shuffles or announced to not reset mmr for season 4 or just let season 3 run till tww as like you said there isnt much point for season 4 like this with the current information we have of it.

To keep us subscribed without actually doing any more work on the current expansion.

Just to get that new fomo rewards, nothing else really.

The point for me is… to farm some PvP gear and then some Ranked BGs for mounts.
But it gets boring really quick. I havent farmed the last season cuz the PvP mount reward was/is ugly. I hope for better PvP mount reward in 4th season. Maybe I saw it… Is it the tiger-puma-furry-raptor thing?

It seems we farm another gear and recycled sets but there isnt much changes, I hope we get pvp notes closer to patch, some note about mmr and compensation for heals shuffle ratings would also be nice see something done about it. Im thinking just play 1 character in 2v2 for 2.1 and then quit, might just come take it after summer aswell if there is no changes at all.

Welcome to the club. Its not like PvE folks are getting any love either.

Every time there is a “patchnotes” I only read SoD and Plunderstorm stuff. And I post my disappointment every week, since the MDI started (because they paused tuning for that too).

SoD has just gone into P3 so that is dominating the news. Blizz don’t tend to release the various versions or info against each other so it gets maximum exposure and presumably interest.

Is there some way of resign from this club? I dont like it, I would rather have resources used in retail and issues addressed instead the other things mentioned :smiley:

I get that Punyelf…

But my dissapointment stems from 3 months of not tuning anything for the MDI… being SUPER late to dungeon tuning (2 months into the season)…

And compounded with absolutely nothing but Plunderstorm right after…

That frustration of nothing for 6 months in a row adds up to the fact that the SoD crowd seems to be getting weekly tuning…

Il let you know if I find some.

For S4 healers, the saving grace might be the variety and easy acquisition of OP trinkets.

But I dont have the patience to be thrown in the ditch one more season with no tuning. Shamans have been thrown under the bus for the whole expansion…

The only way out of this club is as you said : take a long summer vacation. As I am doing right now.

Pvp just went season 3 deflater than shadowlands late seasons and they didnt compensate it not even close, we just got plunder and some sod notes. If we use this mmr and rating system thats entirely based on participation then they need to adjust mmr for the participation constantly, cant go 3 months of nothing and people quitting and then give trivial +xxmmr something into the system. It does nothing and reacted months late, I wonder cant they automate system that adjusts mmr constantly based on the participation if they dont want to pay for someone to do this. I think some basic code could do this, monitors participation and with set values adjust mmr according. :dracthyr_shrug:

I’m not saying it’s right or wrong, don’t get me wrong. My eyes glaze over every time it’s news about the others parts. It’s hard when we have so many spin offs now. WoW news isn’t just Retail and many would love more info on Retail things from Alpha to beta to S4 to TWW etc etc.
