Class Challenge system

I was thinking of and I’d like to suggest a new mage tower similar challenge, although I say similar to mage tower it would be quite vastly different.

It implies a challenge that is renewed each expansions, and a reward that lasts for an entire expansion once the challenge is completed.

The challenge would be magnitudes harder than the final raid of the expansion on mythic difficulty. The form time takes in the challenge is warped, and heroes can go back in the past or alternate futures to deal with catastrophes or world-ending threats, summoned by the world soul itself as the very final line of defense against total obliteration.

The challenge would have stats set in stone which players can not change, and would imply absolute perfect use of all class abilities during the entirety of the scenario.

You would for example be sent to a world on the brink of death being killed by an Old God, and you are summoned there as the last line of defense that could defeat the Old God before the World Soul is destroyed alongside with all living things.

As punishment for failing the challenge you would see the world being destroyed as it’s last hope dies, and it’s people looking in despair. You, being a summoned being would be returned back to Azeroth.

As a reward it would be cosmetic yet powerful and extremely rare. Your class name would be changed to a Grand class, as example a Paladin who completes this challenge would be called a Grand Paladin when other players would mouse over the character. Furthermore, your level would appear in a bright red skull to the enemy faction (ex: Level ?? Tauren Grand Paladin). When applying to any pugs in the group finder your standing as a “Grand” class would be highligted amongst other players applying, such as having a class aura surround your character within the UI to attract the attention of the group or raid leader (class aura would be bright, surround the whole portrait and represent the class color).

Be not mistaken, this challenge is meant for the very strongest and very best players of each class in the world, as previously mentioned it’s a challenge meant to be harder than the hardest mythic bosses of the current expansion. A completely optional challenge which awards these cosmetic rewards. Stats are set in stone and skill alone determines victory or defeat.

You may attempt this challenge as many times as you desire, until you give up of frustration.

The rewards last for the entirety of the currently running expansion, the difficulty does not scale down with the advancement of patches, any and all forms of RNG assistance such as trinkets, systems similar to the essence and azerite systems are fully disabled and only your exclusive class abilities are enabled within this challenge scenario. Once the expansion ends, the challenge is refreshed for the next expansion.

There is no limit to how many players can complete the scenario and receive these rewards, so if 2 Rogues would be skilled enough to complete this challenge, even if they are from the same server, both players would receive these rewards.

Anyone and everyone can participate in this solo challenge, but only the top 1% most skilled would be able to complete it, once again with absolutely NO form of help from your gear optimization or RNG.

Good luck balancing the challenge to be equally difficult for all classes/specs.

uhrg, didnt read past the second paragraph. so sorry in advance if you had something substantial to say.

im just so bloody fckin sick n tired of gated content which gets removed at a later date like mage tower. why does everything have to have a limited availability nowadays? its beyond annoying at this point.

i d suggest that such systems stay where they belong like diablo or poe. wow really doesnt need more of that crap.

edit:

ok came back and read the last two paragraphs and holy sht. why would you cater to the 1% even more than blizzard already does? this game needs more long term content for everyone and not this 1% bs.

sounds more like another oportunity for boost sellers to add to their list and make a quick buck.

That would mean every dh will be grand dh?

Becouse thats what makes those rewards special? Nobady would care about them if anyone could earn them anytime.

thats only your opinion.

to me items are special because they were hard to get, have x % drop rate or took x amount of time to obtain and not because they had a limited availability.

Even those being available only in a certain time frame are special, because they are an “I was here” type of price.

Legion Mage Tower was not a challenge for those that did them with Argus ILvL.

If they wanted to make them a challenge, ilvl would have been scaled down inside them.

i never said that they are not special because its literally fake scarcity.

why waste time on developing content only a vanishing percentage of players can “enjoy” when the game is haemmorrhaging players though? why not develop something for everyone who currently plays, stopped playing or is going to start playing again in the future to enjoy?

this whole limited availability e-peen nonsense really has to stop. there is enough limited content available already for those who dedicate the time, there is no need for more content like that.

whats needed though is content that can be played in the long term over the years.

Like what? Only thing time limited is title and achievemet for beating raid. Both completly meangless becouse there is no visual represantation what actualy shows it to other players.

And lets be honest only reason why you dont like time limited rewards is becouse you dont have them and others do. And it makes you mad that other player hace this cool rewards and you dont. Maybe you should just accept fact they are not coming back and let others enyoj owning something special for once.

Imo limited availability items, especially cosmetics are always good but Imo you have to give a lot of them out during the expac.

For example I LOVE MoP set, and I was so happy when they said they would come back in Legion.

And was so freaking disappointed by how they decided to deliver it.

An HORRIBLE dumbed down version of the same set obtained just by pooping on the keyboard.

When they could have made a recolor of the same set happen to those that, for example completed all spec Mage Tower for their class.

dude, i absolutely dont care what others have that i dont or vice versa.

this whole limited availability just doesnt make sense whatsoever in an mmorpg. maybe if its a free to play game and plays with peoples fomo then yeah, sure.

and if you think that title and raid achievements are the only limited things then you should maybe take another look.

lets see how it works out for wow if they start introducing a ton of game mechanics for only the 1% of the player base.

so if your only argument is “yOu ArE jUsT jEaLoUs BeCaUsE yOu DoNt HaVe WhAt OtHeRs HaVe AnD YoU cAnT gEt It!!11!!” then you really need to do better cause im waaaaay past that.

well i dont care about limited availability as long as they are reoccurring like world events so people who just started or took a break can have a chance of obtaining them.

but yeah sucks what they did to the mop set i can agree on that.

There is no other reason for you wanting it back. Want challenge? Do visions. Want some cool looking gear? Do old content there is plenty of great looking weapons in WoD and Legion.

I don’t care about it but I don’t mind it either.

Maybe not the exact same but for example a simple recolor, so there is something unique about those specifc cosmetic but if you like how it looks you can have one just colored differently.

if you had bothered to read my previous posts you would see i have plenty of reasons but hey, obvious troll is being obvious.

im not going to bother with you anymore, have a nice day. :partying_face:

yeah that would work as well but just being gone is stupid imo.

I did read it. You gave 0 reasons why it should came back but “I just want it” . Nobady complains about lack of stuff to do anyway. If it would not be time limited barely anyone would care. It would be just another foggoten transmog to collect what nobady would use. Most people would simply ignore feature and waited till they overpower it next expansion, collect reward and forggot about whole stuff. Reason why you care about it is becouse its time limited.

:joy: :joy: :joy: hillarious.

No is because they look good.
WoD challenge weapon i see around today are usually: Polearm, Sword and the Shields.

Despite other challenge weapon existing, but a lot of them are so ugly and was not really worth bothering with them

I did WoD challenges because I fell in love with the Polearm, no other reason.

If a thing is timelimited but is ugly AF few people will bother with it.
