It isn’t the end of the Campaign until the end of the Expansion…
I have many of the legion artifact mage tower appearances, i literally could not give less of a crap about this.
OP is another example of a player that doesn’t get that MMO-RPG’s sometimes have time-limited Events/items that once they’re gone, the really ARE gone.
If a real-world limited edition item suddenly got a second run, don’t ye get that it’s p***ing all over the original run, and the company concerned would get untold grief for ‘breaking their promise’?

Yes, but… see here. There’s also something that was removed in MoP and that players are still asking to this day. And that is access to Ordos which was removed as soon as they removed the questline for the cloak. People are not asking for the questline or the cloak. Just general access to kill the guy.
Joke all you want but I’d delete all my other characters if I could get another chance at the legion S4 monk set
Wasn’t that made account wide, if you got the cloak on ONE character?
Besides; you can use a seagull to fly you up there… IIRC.
True… ofc we are talking about people who PLAYED during that patch. Which I didn’t. I joined retail at the end of WoD.
Oh… interesting. You don’t know that it teleports you back to the Four Celestials if you try to enter Ordos’ pavilion. Of course you can still run around the place and kill mobs there. But you can’t enter the large square where Ordos is located.
Ohh… ‘tough’.
I didn’t fully understand what Raiding was 'til well after the Glory of the Raider Mounts got removed, but started playing before Wrath dropped - I’m not whining that I want the GotR Drakes added back…
That’s not the same thing. Mage Tower is PvE content that was taken out. As opposed to PvP content that continuously gets taken out, to maintain exclusivity, PvE content usually remains in the game.
I’m aware that used to happen, to anyone, when MoP was live, too… Sucks a whale’s one that I’ve been playing for 13 years straight… it really does.
But u can live without it, same as i can live without my fav set which is season one elite WoD set for pallys
Ohh… I started playing after the AQ gates opened, too, so I missed out on that event - I just accept that if I wasn’t there, I’m SooL.
EDIT:
Please feel free to report the eebil Dwarf for upsetting those who I disagree with, in this thread… I’ll be highly disappointed if you don’t.
Having done CMs in Pandaria, WoD and Mage Tower etc, I would be happy to see content come back in a similar format to how CMs were, normalised gear for when the content was released, or maybe even harsher.
I came back late in Legion and completed mage tower with gear from the next tier on some characters, and very undergeared ones too so my experience was mixed.
Tl;dr: Sure just restrict ilvl (more than the TW restriction) or have entirely normalised sets from Blizzard.
It’s still anti-climatic. This was a super long quest chain, and without the magic tower it doesn’t have a real ending.
Regardless of the rewards, the mage tower relied on class mechanics and systems which were removed/changed/replaced.
You can no longer match the timing at which the boss will throw spells, nor may you still have the specific abilities required to pass some mechanics.
This means that they would have to either redesign the encounters (unrealistic, might as well produce a brand new tower) or nerf them to oblivion (which would spoil the experience of a lot of players)
Imo it would be a disaster anyway, so I’d rather leave the mage tower in the past and never reintroduce it to the game.
They didn’t bring MoP challenge phoenixes back during MoP timewalking, so I don’t see why Mage Tower should return.
And they’ll not rebalance it for timewalking, so it’ll not be challenging either.
I would’ve perhaps accepted if they made the base colour available (through timewalking for example), but you can already get the other recolours still, so that’s not an option. I think it’s fine if there was just one bit of ‘you miss it you lose it’ in the expansion, since I’m also missing the challenge mode mounts from MoP or the transmogs from WoD. Those aren’t available either.
I mean given Mythic/Old Heroic Sets and Mounts as the PvP counterparts i wouldnt try to risk it if i were you. Even if they just show up in the BMAH like the Naxx Proto Drakes.
I agree that we should have the Mage Tower back and if Blizzard is worried about it being too easy they can scale u s back down to Legon timewalking levels, so that we do not have an advantage. But it seems that they are fine with us not having access to fun areas of the game anymore.

Abilities changed. Scaling changed. Etc etc etc. That wont work. Same reason why timewalking isnt like their versions of old.
