Ok hear me out! I see some defenders on the mage tower’s difficulty level (just a few), and the rest (99%) just hate the untuned MT and want to rage quite the game!
I personally think that it is both fun to collect old gear and tune the character with a bit min/max. But there is to many parts of the MT that are broken and not fun at all!
And as far that I am concerned, blizzard need the money from the 99% of the community and can’t just please 1% of the playerbase, that would be suicidal from a economic perspective!
Example: If I own a coffee shop and I sell cinnamon buns and danish bread and 1% say that they love cinnamon buns and the rest say that they love danish bread, should I just sell cinnamon buns than? NO, that would be stupid! Or even worst I promise my customers the danish bread and when they come back for more I haven’t baked the bread fully done! Stupid business plan isn’t it?
The game should be fun for majority of players or else we don’t have any game left to love soon!
P.S. trust take long time to build up and it is easy to erase with just words!
Just my opinion ofc!
Well… 9 flasks later, 1000’s of gold in repairs, trying and failing over and over is not fun. It’s utter sh%%… At times im being completely destroyed by abilities that arent even going off when they are supposed to either, its driving me up the wallll!
But… In that example… You could also just sell BOTH cinnamon buns AND danish bread (just the stock of bread would be lower than the buns because you’ll sell less of that).
What should have happened is:
2 MT difficulties:
Normal (comparable with end of Legion difficulty). Reward: Recolored normal tier sets.
Hard (comparable with how it is now). Reward: Recolored mythic tier sets.
The mount could even come in 2 variations as well.
Lol literally 3 months ago people were asking mt back with being really hard and wanting a chance to get artifact skins. You guys just want free loot. Mmorpgs should reward time investment and skill and shouldn’t give participation rewards.
During Legion Blizzard didn’t listen the crybabies and again they shouldn’t listen them now. Challenges doesn’t meant for everyone.
Yes i did also think about that scenario it would be sweet if they did two levels one normal and one hardcore! I just think the implementations in WoW is half baked and they leave the paying customers fix the problems (not ok) we pay them for both game and subscription they should be able to deliver a solid game, specially if they recycle old content!
Those things are not mutually exclusive actually.
So yes; they SHOULD give participation rewards. Because this game is not made for only try-hards and die-hards.
Not for me. I hated the MT the first time around.
The reward was the artifact appearance definitely.
The obstacle was the difficulty.
Not an okay scenario in this case.
If the game was in a good state and had plenty of content to do for all kinds of players: then sure. But that’s not how it is. There’s a severe lack of content.
Maybe because I bashed my head against the MT wall on Legion release, I just dont have the will to try and try again this time. But one major beef I have with this is its very limited time nature which is just getting tiresome at this point.
That aside, seeing what happens around the AH and players spending sometimes 100s of k in gold to do it with certain items and consumables, I cant stop thinking that even if Blizzard didnt plan for this, they are still loving it.
We did only get reused skins so i don’t think that is should be as hard that is is now. And as i say in the text, not a smart option to ignore 99% of the players.
100% agree
Best of all solutions here! But as i see it WoW did just recycle the MT and did nerf all the reward from is, therefor should it not be as hard either. But i don’t think that the major problem is the difficulty, it is more about that all things feel broken and off in a weird way.
Yes, like are in the beta once more and all thing need to get fixed along the ride. They don’t even are in contact with the game anymore. Have they tested the different challenges? Don’t thinks so! Just implement the feature and hope for the best scenario!
Why not just turn WOW into a walking simulator then? Challenging content is what keeps a game interesting. I’ve finished 1 challenge and gotten close on 2 others and they’ve all had obvious room for improvement and it’s been pretty satisfying re-learning the fights with the buffed difficulty.
That not the whole picture! Challenging is fun. But to feel that you pay 13 euro/month + game and still have to be the beta panel, with bad implemented systems that are full of bugs that’s just stupid business! If they just should say; we implement a system that are for the hardcore players that want to sort out bugs, wouldent any thread be on the forum right now. They promise things time after time and never seems to stop confuse (deceive) the community as whole!
Isn’t the fact that they’ve nerfed trinkets that made it easier proof that they’re fine with the difficulty as is? Haven’t encountered any bugs in mage tower but if there is then they should be fixed for sure.
Paying 13 euros a month for shadowlands, that’s a tragedy, I couldn’t agree more
They nerfed both crusader enchant and the trinkets. They also say that MT is more difficult than intended on the US forum. So bug right? That make us to beta testers
