🔍 How it works:

• To leave a dungeon without penalty, a vote to abandon must be initiated.
• If the group agrees, all players may leave without any rating loss or consequences.
• Players who leave frequently without a vote will be flagged in the Group Finder as someone who quits often.
• The flag can be removed by successfully finishing runs or properly using the abandon vote system.

🧠 Expected impact:

• This isn’t an account-level punishment, but a social deterrent—flagged players will be clearly marked and less likely to be invited to groups.
• The system is similar to DOTA’s low priority queue, where poor behavior leads to isolation until players improve.
• It encourages leavers to improve their behavior in order to clear their mark.

❓ Unanswered questions:

• What happens if someone leaves before initiating a vote?
• Do disconnects count as leaving?
• How many unsanctioned leaves does it take to be flagged (Blizzard likely won’t reveal this)?
• Can players exploit the system to remove the flag by queueing and instantly leaving?

🌿 Setting and Themes

• The dungeon is set inside an ethereal dome filled with magical wildlife and preserved nature.
• These ecological domes have appeared before (e.g. Eco‑Dome Midrealm in Netherstorm).
• Key narrative questions arise: Why this dome? What do the Wastelanders want from it?

⚔️ Bosses and Structure

• The dungeon features 3 total bosses.
• Encounters blend natural and ethereal themes, involving both Void invaders and Wastelander forces.

🕒 Availability

• The dungeon will be available at the launch of Patch 11.2, in the following difficulties:
• Normal
• Heroic
• Mythic 0
• It will be part of the Mythic+ rotation for Season 3.

🧭 What is the Reshii Wraps?

🌌 Feature Highlight: Phase Diving

• Transforms your character into a pure energy form.
• Allows you to access hidden spaces and layers in K’aresh, as well as in dungeons, Delves, and raids.
• Lets you experience the world through Ethereal perception, revealing secrets and alternate paths.

🔍 “You’ll see the world through the eyes of the Ethereals.”

🏰 Gameplay Applications

• Manaforge: Omega (Raid)
• You’ll use the cloak to bypass the arcane intake filtration system, enabling infiltration and a confrontation with the Warden, the first boss.
• Delve: Archival Assault
• The cloak unlocks hidden gateways, leading to boss rushes or elite challenge rooms.
• Outdoor Exploration in K’aresh
• The Reshii Wraps is essential for interacting with hidden environmental elements and completing zone-specific secrets.

🔄 Weekly Upgrade System

• Warbound System
• Progress on the cloak is shared across your Warband.
• ➤ You can upgrade it on one character and use that progress on alts.
• Weekly Upgrades
• The cloak upgrades week by week, using a currency earned from:
• Mythic+
• Raids
• Delves
• General PvE activities
• Catch-up System
• If you miss a week (e.g. vacation, break), you’ll be able to catch up later without penalty or falling behind friends.

🗓️ A Change from Previous Seasons

🎙️ "We want players to have something to do right away, not just wait around for the raid or Mythic+ to open." – Blizzard Dev Team

📦 Content Available on Day 1

• Non-Bountiful Delves Available right away, with Season 3 tuning already applied.
• Mythic 0 Dungeons Baseline versions open from the start – perfect for gearing up early.
• Heroic Dungeons Updated and scaled to match Season 3 difficulty.
• World Bosses Spawn immediately and drop seasonal loot.
• Tazavesh Returns Back as a narrative hub and key location.
• New Delve Nemesis: Ky’veza Introduced as the seasonal boss in the new Delve experience.

🏅 Champion Gear Available from Day 1

• All the above content will drop Champion-level gear right away.
• Players can begin powering up before the official start of Mythic+ and the Manaforge: Omega raid.

❗ Note: This content will be more challenging than usual, as it's already scaled to Season 3 difficulty.

⚙️ Hardmode Format: A Timer-Free Mini-Raid

• Entering Tazavesh on Mythic 0 automatically activates Hardmode.
• The dungeon is tuned like a Mythic+ 10, with comparable loot rewards, and may even contribute to +10 Great Vault progression.
• Designed as a “mini-raid” experience without a timer, where group coordination is key.

🗣️ “We want to provide that mini-raid feel. People really love megadungeons, and we want to make it worth your time.” – Drew De Sousa

🔁 Split Wings for Mythic+ Rotation

• Streets of Wonder – 4 bosses
• So’leah’s Gambit – 4 bosses

🧠 Emphasis on Communication Mechanics

🎯 Example: The boss Hylbrande will feature a more complex mechanic in Hardmode, requiring coordinated decoding efforts, while in Mythic+ it will be simplified (e.g., the code is visible to all players).

“We want mechanics that feel like raid encounters—requiring a few pulls with your friends and real teamwork. Hardmode is the right space for those.”

👑 Returning Boss: Timecap’n Hooktail

🔍 What is Phase Diving?

• An outdoor activity that lets you access a hidden overlay phase of K’aresh (and also in dungeons, raids, and Delves) .
• In this phase, you encounter exclusive objectives, world quests, rare mobs, mechanics, and much more.
• Warrants: missions from the Tazavesh constable to hunt monsters visible only while Phase Diving.
• Social aspect: party members can see your Phase Diving, you can leave messages for them, and even view where they died .

🕹️ Where to Phase Dive

• Outdoors in K’aresh
• New Dungeon: Eco‑Dome Al’dani
• New Raid: Manaforge Omega
• New Delve(s)

🎮 How It Works

• Blizzard introduces a permanent overlay layer for the first time.
• This is reminiscent of Shadowlands Rift portals, which granted access to special realms and rewards

• Practical tabs with a uniform structure and settings.
• Each tab will provide 98 storage slots.
• You can purchase up to six tabs, with progressive costs of: 1 gold coin, 100, 500, 1000, 2500, and 5000 coins.
• Tabs will be unlocked automatically upon first login after the patch. At level 80, all six tabs will become available immediately.
• For characters below level 80, the number of available tabs will depend on the number of bank bag slots the character had previously, including slots from the Reagent Bank and the Void Storage.

• The Reagent Bank will be removed, as each new bank tab can now be converted and used to store reagents.
• The Void Storage will also be removed.
• All items previously stored in the personal bank, reagent bank, and Void Storage will be automatically transferred to the available tabs in the new bank system upon the first login after the patch.
