WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria – Patch 10.2.7 Revealed, Mists of Pandaria Classic?

Plunderstorm for PvE - Players Hate or Love it

Once again, a Time-Limited event, which is stand-alone and separate from Dragonflight leads players to discuss this heavily on the forums. Plunderstorm has been very polarizing, leading players to either Love or Hate it.

“Fix the damn game instead of adding new modes.”

“they should fix mythic raiding instead of adding some weird stuff”

“I for one, couldn’t care less for Plunderstorm or whatever this will be. I really hope they don’t add good things in there as rewards for retail servers to incentivise people to play.”

“Why is this time-limited?”

“Interesting they’re doing this since we’re likely getting Mists of Pandaria Classic in 2025.”

Players offer several concerns as they already did during Plunderstorm. Since this Remix: Pandaria mode is now allowing even players that despise PvP to get some joy during a standalone and time-limited event, most people do not offer the “Its only for PvP’ers” feedback.

“Good on blizzard for trying new stuff despite people hating every single move they make.”

“Cant wait for this! I love it!”

“They should do more stuff like this, it sounds great.”

“FINALLY ! YES! Revamped, more in-depth time-walking essentially”

“Would love some more info on what is on that vendor, but love this in general.”

Other players are greatly excited for the upcoming new mode, even if this whole mode sounds like a “Season of Discovery meets Mists of Pandaria Classic” version of World of Warcraft. Some players are fairly happy that this event happens to bridge the time between Dragonflight Season 4 and The War Within!

Missing Content for Dragonflight

Another point of concern is that Patch 10.2.7 is currently only listing a Story Line to bridge the gap between now and the upcoming The War Within expansion, aswell as some quality-of-life changes to the Group Finder, and Heritage Armor for Draenei and Trolls.

Patch 10.2.6 introduced a stand-alone and also time-limited event Plunderstorm, and was just a bonus patch in between the regular .5 and .7 Patch cycle. Many players have pointed out that Blizzard should continue developing the Retail version of WoW, instead of creating a separate game mode, but this was easily justified with this irregular Patch 10.2.6.

Patch 10.2.7 is expected to deliver several changes to Dragonflight, like 10.0.7 introducing a whole new zone – Forbidden Reach, and several new bonuses like the Onyx Annulet.

Patch 10.1.7 introduced new Dragonriding Events in Eastern Kingdom, Dreamsurge Public Events and Heroic Dawn of the Infinite mode.

These Patches have offered significantly more content, which makes it hard to disagree with some of the players feedback.

All loot has been completely overhauled and has powerful new effects allowing players to shape their experience, power up, and power on. Features include:

Accelerated Leveling and Content allowing you to take on nearly every quest, scenario, dungeon and raid.
Create a new WoW Remix character starting at level 10 to adventure through the event up to level 70.
A mountain of loot: Get powerful items from everywhere— quests, chests, creatures, bosses.
Customizable items allowing you to power up as far as you can go to take on tougher content.
Convert unwanted items into Bronze which can be used to upgrade items or purchase cosmetics.
Keep what you collect: Take your collection of transmogs with you into The War Within.

CHARACTERS

All Dragonflight quests that previously became available with Renown levels are now available to all max-level player-characters, regardless of Renown.
SINS OF THE SISTER
- A night elf has arrived at Bel’ameth to bury the family she lost at Teldrassil. But when her deceased sister is revealed to be a traitor, will the night elves show her sister forgiveness or demand accountability for her sins? Level 70 players can speak with Malfurion Stormrage at the Terrace of the Moon in Bel’ameth to accept the quest “An Uncommon Request” and start this questline.

USER INTERFACE AND ACCESSIBILITY

Several changes have been made to improve the experience of finding Mythic+ groups in Premade Group Finder:

- The listing tooltip now shows info for all members of the group, including their specialization and Mythic+ Rating (implementation pending).
- The listing tooltip now shows the dungeon/raid name and difficulty.
- A helptip tutorial has been added to teach players that they can search a key range for precise results (for example, 6-10 or 7-7).
- Groups that no longer fit your filter criteria are marked with a red background (for example, if you selected “Damage role available” and a listed group filled up on damage dealers).
- Groups you are hard declined from are automatically marked in red and sorted to the bottom.
- In the leader applicants pane, the applicant tooltip now shows the applicant’s info in a more readable format: their Mythic+ Rating, their highest key for the listed dungeon, and their highest key for all dungeons.
Recipes can now be tracked from the Crafting Orders window.
