If Timerunning is associated with speed, it might mean a return of the old challenge mode versions of MoP dungeons - and an attempt by Blizzard to make them scale properly, a bit like they did with the Mage Tower.If you associate Timerunning as being a more strenuous and involved activity to Timewalking, it might mean the MoP raids become active and can be done as if current content, a bit like Fated but for an old expansion. The real question is whether this will be a one off event, or if it will be recurring/permanent feature of some of the MoP content. Hopefully the latter - as WoW has so much old content it could utilise to give players more things to do. If challenge mode/raids were scaled up to modern day difficulty, perhaps challenge mode/AotC rewards would become attainable again.
I like the ties you make between Xal'Atath and Y'Shaarj, but the article should have reminded us of what we learn in the Naga book from Forbidden Reach :
They will not, cannot compare any rewards to seasonal pvp rewards. Itq been what 15 years now and people are still asking for it when blizzard has said multiple times they eont bring old ovo rewards
im here for the "if blizzard brings back Challenge Mode sets ill unsub" comments OMEGALUL
I'm the one that doesn't want the tmogs from MoP/WoD challenge modes to be available again. I don't like fomo thing too, but the game needs to have some unique stuff that you can't get anymore. That's a small part of mmorpg even when we are slowly losing rpg aspect in WoW. I will be happy if they do recolors of those transmogs to be obtainable. If Blizzard don't like fomo completely, and want to give us opporturnity of getting old items then why they didn't give us Corrupted Ashbringer with ancient plans from Naxx. Why not The Undying title, or Hand of A'dal. Sometimes I feel like people want everything to be available and that's would be bad.
They should just add the MoP CM armor to the Trading post at this point so everyone can enjoy it, people should not have to do some silly challange to get an outfit...
Very interesting, im looking forward to seeing how itll be like!
I hope it's not just a raid. That's so boring and useless.
I think people are gonna be disappointed. Timerunning can have an entirely different meaning. Remember that Thaldraszus questline where you go through the gnoll war, shifting sands, and pandaren revolution? Yeah... "Pandaria event shard". Gonna put you in a shard/phase that has historical NPCs everywhere instead of hostile mobs, for a footrace similar to that quest.
Time bound Content again. Will there ever be Content again that is more about using class abilities and difficulty but without a clock to beat. Aren't M+ Dungeons enough of a must have to raid or equip. I think this is just uninnovative.
