Thanks, casuals mad.
The issue is they are combining two concepts. How many people would do this content if it didn’t reward the skins? Very few in my opinion. But if they make content for “fun” with no carrot nobody would do it. So what is the harm with just releasing the tower in its original form without any balancing. Like running an old raid? You know why they won’t do that? Because they made people believe these items were special one time things. Sub now or miss out So now if they just left it as is. Those people would feel slighted. Why don’t they tune old raids then. Make them max level all the time. It’s just so contradictory. Old raid mounts fine to get. Mage tower transmog that had ZERO effect on player power. Nope we want that to be hard. So hard that you need to run it multiple times. Ohh So let’s lock it behind a very long rotating schedule. Sorry if you have a wedding that week or maybe you have to work. Don’t worry it will be back in 4 months. Just please be consistent blizzard.
Activate them when that expansions time walking starts, deactivate when it ends. I'm sure they can pull a few devs of CoD to get it done.
Reward the people who have not been playing and don't have / want to obtain said items.Punish those who HAVE been playing and still kept those items and want to find ways to have fun with themBeep Beep
crucible of storms gear + icc ring + hyjal ring + siege of ogrimmar gear + legion gems / tbc heroic dungeons last gemsbut no legendaries is not fun
Disabling all sorts of borrowed power is fine but i doubt it will work, at least in attempts to future proof it. Every xpac classes are re-tuned with all the current expansions borrowed power in mind and without all the borrowed power being used classes feel like poo without them.Sure they might get it balanced for this xpacs base character, but every xpac that base is going to change drastically if they continue with borrowed power bs so every xpac they are going to need to re-tune revisit this mage tower tuning
LOL all you people saying "fun detected", god forbid Mage Tower is skill based and not gear based. Most people who I have talked to don't want to farm up old gear in order to do mage tower.
So, what effects can be used?
God forbid you actually have to use your brain and the skill you have playing your class to complete the Mage Tower. If you honestly think you cant complete the challenges without these legendaries, then it isn't Blizzard that is the problem but your lack of skill.And just think a week ago y'all for complaining about not having these legendaries and having to grind them. Talk about an entitled bunch of players we are.
Why cant we use the Legion Artifacts ? They were APART of Legion we should be allowed to use them... I don't think ill get the Fel bear appearance. The Wrists is how I completed the Mage tower the first time in Legion.
This comment section just shows that Blizzard shouldn't listen to most wow players lol
I'm shocked at the amount of people trying to say that some mechanics are unavoidable without certain legendaries for certain specs (like Arms Warr, Affi Lock) or even the Tank ones which other than the using your defense abilities on time and using the parachutes what legendary hardly mattered to me; my DH leggo's were both for Havoc (Mo'arg & Loramus)...I did most of these with either the worst legendaries possible (because how were Weight of the Earth to me?) or just the ring from the raid quest because my luck with legendaries was $%^&. I did Affi twice, and given that they didn't bother to fix it then I highly doubt they silently fixed it now, and the neither my sister nor I had that ring because she didn't play the class and I was just leveling to do this challenges so all I got was the power cord and quest-ring while she got affi back, I one shot hers and took 7 tries for mine before the ap boost, in deplorable raid gear for the appropriate raid/s it was designed for (NH + TOS).The legions were never a "must-have" in these they were a "if you have 'em, use 'em". The ONLY BiS leggo I had for ANY challenge throughout the classes/specs was Luffa and (to a certain point) Eko because other than Shaman, I actually played my druid beyond the mage towers. And people who are saying they should have allowed it forget that unless they mass purchased them during the end of legion (which would imply they were playing in Legion) they probably don't have them, meaning they'd farm for them creating a grind and we can all see that no one in the current playbase likes "gatekeeping" and during Legion some actually saw the MT's and Leggos as "gatekeeping" (I'd know, since my sister was one of them, bitterly complaining I didn't have anything good and proceeding to do content to try and force a drop on my poor characters, meanwhile I didn't care and just used what the eff she had regardless of "quality")I have no issue with this instance returning, I WOULD have a problem with the OG weapons returning since I worked hard on those and planned my time because we were told at announcement that these were limited and it was plastered everywhere as the deadline drew closer. I'd be okay with Ferals getting a recolour like Were-bear, since that's fair and I like the simple effects of those first more and they just want new forms given that Claws of Shirvallah doesn't seem to be returning :(
I did this challenge on my Tank warrior when IT WAS relevant. I got the base skin, and the other skins thereafter. I a really dont mind stuff being disabled. All I would like is the transmog. :)
It makes me laugh people saying that the mage tower is balanced around other things.When this was tested it was tested with legends, and was also VERY poorly balanced. Like, no work was put into it poorly balanced.
