World of Warcraft: New dungeon system incoming

9 November 2009

In keeping with the recent trend and hype, today we’re taking a look at another new feature due with Patch 3.3 – the Dungeon system.

In a nutshell, Blizzard has decided to scrap the underused LFG system in favour of a new, better one known as the Dungeon system. The aim is to promote PUG’ing through offering incentives to all players involved. Not only will grouping through this method garner you increased badges and gold, but all players in the group will also receive a special buff.

The name of the buff is Luck of the Draw, and it’s Blizzard’s trump card to lure players into using the whole system. Should your group add even a single member through the Dungeon system, you will all receive the buff in question. Its exact tooltip is the following: Increases damage done by 5%, healing done by 5%, and base health by 5% whenever you use the Dungeon tool to find other players for your group.

Hopefully the days of trying to fill that last tank/healer spot will be over, making things far more user-friendly for everyone involved. Online games should be about playing, not standing around looking stupid whilst waiting for more group members. It’s great to see Blizzard acknowledging this and scrapping the outdated LFG system.
