We’ve already taken a look at the overall Mythic+ runs for week 4, but now we have a much more detailed summary. Nightstalker314 dove into the per-dungeon specifics, checking out the percentage of timed and untimed runs for each of them!
The Data
First of all, the data is from this Thursday and refers to the week before that. Secondly, as we’ve already seen it was a great week for M+, with the number of runs going up. 4.35% up, in fact, which is a lot considering the downward trajectory of the previous weeks.
Analysis
Nightstalker314 also dove into some interesting stats, so let’s read some analysis directly from the source:
“4.35% more runs compared to week 3. In time ratio overall is up by 3.8%, for individual dungeons up by 6.5%. The changes to keylvl 8 dropping gilded crests and further dungeon/affix tuning might be the biggest factor. Though the drop-off for Ara-Kara, City and Mists last week to be reverted (in time ratio) might also be tied to the new weekly affix working better or not as bad in these dungeons.
The early hours for week 5 (less than 33 since US reset) show a ~8% increase in run numbers compared to week 4. This is mostly due to lots of people running the dungeon weekly quest (4 mythic runs for a heroic cache). Over the course of the ID that will decrease, but 2 weeks in succession of stagnant/increasing run numbers is quite the outlier. You might expect a sharp drop-off for week 6 though, especially when it overlaps with the anniversary event shifting focus away from endgame progression.
Furthermore the affix combinations seem to be on a 8 week rotation for anything sub keylvl 10. Since each of the 4 affixes will start with Tyrannical respectively Fortified for lower keys.” – nightstalker314
We’ll be checking back in next week to see how things go. But it’s always great to see more players dive into Mythic+ and more players time their keys!
