Will You Miss the Current Dungeon Dailies?

When Blizzard officially announced the new Dungeon System coming out in patch 3.3 that will include a new LFG tool that will allow us to do cross server dungeons, they mentioned that the NPC’s who currently give us the normal and heroic dungeon daily quests will instead give out weekly raid quests. So dungeon daily quests that we currently have will be gone when the patch comes out. But as you know this will be replaced by the random dungeon feature in the LFG tool.

Before you get the wrong idea, I have to admit that the random dungeon system in place for the next patch is ultimately better than the set dungeon daily quest system we currently have. It’s better because as far as getting emblem rewards, we’re not limited to one heroic and one regular dungeon for the day. With the random dungeon system, players will be rewarded emblems of frost for the first heroic dungeon ran using the random feature and then emblems of triumph for succeeding ones. There’s even a chance to bypass the lockout if you manage get a heroic dungeon that you already ran using random dungeons.

As much as the random dungeon feature is ultimately better, there will be some aspects of the current dungeon daily quest system that I’ll miss. The first is a sense of certainty knowing that this is the daily so I know what to expect. There’s a sense of relief when you know that the daily for the day is an easy dungeon like H-Utgarde Keep and a sense of “ok I have to brace myself” if it’s a harder one (especially if I have to do it with PuG’s. The random dungeon feature gives players a sense of mystery and if you get a dungeon that you don’t particularly like running as much as the others (like Oculus) you could be in for a ride. Of course for players who don’t care what dungeon pops up, this really isn’t an issue.

There’s also something else that I’ll miss about the current system. There are some lucky times when the normal and heroic dungeon daily involves the same dungeon. I know of quite a number of times when this has happened and you get to finish both quests in one run. Now I admit that I don’t know how the LFG system works as far as queuing is concerned so we have to go by how I think it works. I assume that you can queue for both the normal and heroic dungeon in the LFG tool at the same time. What I don’t know is if you can queue the random dungeons for both difficulties at the same time. Assuming you can, what happens if by some luck you get the same dungeon for both difficulties? Let’s say you pop the random for both and both turn out to be Culling of Stratholme. If you accept to do H-CoS, will that prevent you from getting rewarded for the normal one? if it doesn’t then there’s no problem but if it does then that’s what I’ll miss about the current system. Running a heroic dungeon to get rewarded for both the heroic and normal difficulty quest is just awesome and if you can’t do it with the new system, that will be quite sad.

Will you miss something about the current dungeon daily quests system? If so, what about it will you miss?
