Bring back Artifact Skins unlockable with Mage Tower event!

I think most of the players would be happy getting the coolest transmogs implemented in game! Make us happy!

Yeah, I don’t get it. Mage Tower has been turned into latest-content state again thanks to scaling tech and all, so the original challenge, the difficulty, is back, but they keep those thereby still hard to get, prestigious appearances locked away. But then offer a NEW bear form appearance, and only bear, not cat? All very weird.

Not really. Your characters are different, they have different Spells and Abilities. Infact there are all sorts of different variables involved now. All the scaling does it make the mobs hit harder in comparison to your character, it doesn’t recreate the challenge.

Those appearances are gone. Just look at what’s available in the game today and work towards some of those appearances.

The current Mage Tower rewards look so much better anyway.

How does the possibility that the designed-to-be tough challenge is of not the exact same style as back then a reason to not award the old appearances again? It was remade properly and evidently that’s good enough to offer some new looks.

You can equip dozens of different weapons/armours and mog them but druids have limited shapeshifting forms, so at least for our fellow druids they must bring them back.

I don’t care I’ll use this armageddon sword for 20 more years. Never stepped into magetower my whole life already…

No matter how much you agree or disagree with a choice, blizzard has stated that mage tower tints will not be returning. I can understand their reasoning and I am ok with that being the case (for those specific tints).

On the other hand, there is no reason to not introduce recolors/ similar tints rewarded from the new mage tower.

To be fair it would be best if they reintroduced that kind of reward to create something new that is similar to the old ones, so that all players have something to work towards and give the chance to players without the old tints to receive similar transmogs.

L take to be completely honest. Does it even matter that most classes have different toolkits compared to legion? No.

There’s so much stuff deleted from the game it’s really more of an issue than a good thing. Especially for new players. Long boy, wod cm mogs, pandaria cm sets and phoenix mounts, mage tower appearances to name a few. Im surprised they don’t want to bring them back in a form of time walking. “Prestige” btw :joy:

As someone who has all the Legion MT skins, I would be really pleased to see more people being able to obtain them.
Some of them are really neat.

That kind of special content deserved to be an evergreen experience for people to do when they feel like and not while chasing an expansion deadline.
Even now I do not want to go do the new mage tower for the new recolors because the haunting memories of how much I suffered to get all the skins for all the specs on all the classes back in Legion before the end. It was long and difficult and not fun

Blizzard is not bound to their word by contract. They change their position based on their situation and the general demand. In any case I am not holding my breath.
I just want people to not assume that Blizzard is unchanging for better or worse.

Because it’s not the same challenge. Simple.

Yes, because that changes the Challenge.

You I’m afraid to say:

There is nothing wrong with Time Limited Rewards, and tbh, there really isn’t that much of it.

But seriously you guys need to stop with this weird fetish for complaining about things.

Honestly, you only want this stuff because you can’t have it. If it was available you wouldn’t give a damn about it. Thats the contradiction with most of this stuff.

??? It’s literally bad game design. If you’re new player and you know you’ll never have a long boi or some of the coolest transmogs then you might quit the game. It’s literally a barrier they created themselves

Also I have mage tower appearances on this account, I have wod challenge mode appearances on my other account. Blizzard won’t merge my accounts with mounts tho so I’m big sad.

You know when I returned to the game back in BFA. I spent my time looking at the challenges currently in the game. I looked at the rewards I could earn Now. And that’s what I spent my time focusing on.

There is no barrier here at all. The Game is still available to play in all its glory :man_facepalming:

How is it available in all its glory when they remove content/rewards? You might’ve slapped yourself a bit too hard with that facepalm cos you’re not making any sense

The London Marathon is still the London Marathon if you get this years Medal for running it as opposed to last years.

Great analogy lil bro

This is why I tend to stay out of these topics these days.

The FOMO community are so Toxic. They simply resort to insulting people for enjoying a game they have enjoyed for 18 odd years.

A few weeks back I put my opinion in a reddit thread. I received hate messages, my post was mass reported, I received Reddits “do you need help message”, it was removed and I was banned from the whole of reddit for 3 days!!! (which was overturned when they realised I hadn’t broken any rules).

An argument that falls flat when you have cases of;

Yeah that’s why blizzard should close old raids. How dare you go to hellfire citadel mythic and get the exact same transmog that people who raided in wod have!11 No challenge.

You can’t make an entire expantion with zero weapon skins which also has the best by far weapon skins, just not available sorry. Terrible design and if anyone ok with that they are the type of people who are happy when something bad happens to others.

I’m not opposed to them putting Time locked rewards behind raiding. As a non-raider myself, it might encourage me to start raiding.

Well it’s subjective whether Artefact weapons are the best “skins”. Personally I think they’re all pretty horrendous, but that’s my taste.

But, I do agree they should put some actual Weapons in Legion Content which match the armor. However, you can normally match something up to the available Artefact “skins”. So this is a non-argument really.

It’s not really terrible design though. Maybe you should just be looking at what’s available to collect today. There is plenty out there.

I’m someone who doesn’t have them, and I think it would be a terrible idea to put them back in the game.

As you can see, there are 2 sides to this argument.
