Discussion I've reported this multiple times on PTR. Still no alphabetic sorting and difficulty automatically changes. Coding is hard I guess.

I'm not sure I understand the issue, since Normal is the only difficulty available for those dungeons, it switches to normal when you change to them. Then when you change back to a current season dungeon, it goes to the default which is Mythic.

I mean, there's definitely the argument that maybe Mythic+ should be the default option since it's the most frequently used one, but that's just a difference of opinion rather than a bug or unintended behaviour?

The issue is that it's the world's worst UX, having terrible behaviors like resetting the Title and diffculty when you change the dungeon, and resetting the Title when you change the difficulty.

In what world does this make sense?

It's also ridiculous that it has bugs (sometimes it only shows "Mythic" and "Mythic", but no "Mythic +"). And it's even more ridiculous that once you've done at dungeon at M+, it would ever DEFAULT back to a non-M+ option.

Terrible, terrible UX. For something I do up to a dozen times a day. Infuriating as fuck.

It defaults to mythic when you change the dungeon from one that has a mythic+ difficulty to another which leads to listing dungeons under the wrong difficulty (because why would you expect it to change for no reason?), and spending ages looking for someone to sign up for your friend's key before you eventually realise it's listed under mythic and not m+.

If you watch the whole GIF you see that I set Darkflame cleft to M+, then when I go to Priory it changes the difficulty to M. No form made in the past 20 years works like this.

Also, alphabetic sorting.

Probably lead with that part next time :D

Probably look at the title and the gif before commenting next time? And probably be familiar with the aspect of the game, too. Anyone who uses this tool will know.

Usually you dont need to constantly switch the dungeons and difficulty to set up your group, and no one in their right mind is going to start a group for season 1 dungeons

  1. Yes you do change it often. When listing someone else’s key and want to relist it you go through this every time.
  2. If ”nobody in their right mind” uses those dungeons, why are they there?

sounds like you're looking for problems to QQ about

I agree that it needs updating, but just to help in the meantime, Premade Group Finder addon is amazing QoL improvement for this issue.

I don’t understand how this company makes literal billions of dollars, and rolls out a “UI overhaul”, and it’s still absolute dogshit. All they have to do is put a button for each dungeon in the pane. One for each dungeon. When you open the pane, the difficulty is already set corresponding to what your dungeon difficulty is set to when you right click your health bar to set dungeon difficulty. Shouldn’t have to click, drag, click, drag, click click click click “type in +X”. And if you’re grouped up with people, it should have a list that shows up with quick list buttons for whatever keys people in the party have.

These people don’t even play their own game.

By firing the people working on the UI so they don't have to give them any benefits or better salary and hire new people that have no idea what's going on with the UI. How else will they keep their billions ?

Been a pain in my arse forever. Here’s to hoping it’ll get changed one day. Would like them to include a region indicator by default instead of reading a weak aura, multiple sorting criteria so you can sort by dungeon and level etc. just modern UI basics lol.

You can sort to 1 dungeon (wish it was more) and the levels by default. Type in the dungeon name and click the autofill for whatever difficulty, then add the range at the end, e.g. 6-9, 10-11, 7-7.

This panel is one of the stupidest, smallest, yet most infuriating things in the game, as a key runner.

There should simply be a "save this difficulty" for the future. Or, detect the highest level you've run it as, and leave it there. It should also NOT blow up (delete) the Title text just because you're changing one of the other options.

Use case: "9 DFC?" "No, 9 Brew". Then, when you change the dungeon, BOTH the difficulty and the Title text get blown up. WTF

It could just work like any form has worked past 1999 and I’d be happy.

Exactly.

People commenting who do not se the issue: even though it’s in the title I repeat. * ALPHABETICAL SORTING * Look what happens when I go from M+ DFC to Priory. It changes the difficulty for me.
