I don’t mind that mage tower is challenging and I wouldn’t mind wiping many times until I get it right but the balancing is unfair.
I think it’s an ok-ish decision that gear post legion is disabled (azerite traits, essences, covenant abilities, shards of domination, etc) because that would be hard to balance but disabling legion legendaries and tier sets as well seems like a really bad and unrelatable choice to me.
We lost many abilities/talents to pruning (some more or less useful or mandatory in the MT) so that alone makes it considerably harder to complete the challenge.
People in Legion could also outgear it, which is what most people did anyway. Most of the people I talked with told me that the current version of the MT is more difficult than what it used to be, which is weird because the reward in TW mage tower is arguably inferior.
I was really looking forward to seeing the mage tower because I missed it in Legion but the current iteration is more demoralizing than challenging. I will try to keep going and improve my skills but I hope that the issues will be addressed.
This is why i just hate blizzard now. 0 thinking, like total 0.
Mage tower is not a challenge, it’s just a possibility that if u will waste like 20h of learning and trying u gonna get some pixels.
What about pvp players? i am healer/tank mostly in arenas/rbg why as guardian druid with +2k pvp rating and watching all guides (where mobs die 2x faster from one moonfire and i need to do it 2x times+ meele for 2s lol) and im dying without even a far chance to win.
F*** you blizzard, you can’t even relase old content without making huge fail, reta***.
Really no one of you’r lazy, simple minded team didnt think that back in legion players had other gear/legendary powers and other food/elixirs etc?
FFFFFFFFFF how i hate myself thinking this ruined company will get it self back to work and rapair this game ( i did go to ff IV and game was amazing but i was thinking that if blizzard can feel the death incoming they will start hard working on content and game, stupid me.)
PS: why shoud there legion powers be working and other not? why as a player who didnt play legion i need to farm old and boring content just to do old, remade content? isn’t this idiotic?
I think you missed my point. I don’t mind that it’s challenging but there are tuning issues that make it considerably harder than it has any right to be, in addition to clipping away resources that were around during Legion.
Pepperminty, class changes is exactly why the Mage tower HAD to be removed in the first place.
It’s also a very good explanation of why Blizzard’s entire approach to designing the game is deeply flawed. Classes and progression systems should be designed with permanence in mind.
Exactly. That’s why I don’t mind that the new version of the Mage tower offers different rewards than it used to. But they can at least tune it to a reasonable level.
People don’t complain because the content is difficult, the problem is that the only “difficulty” Blizzard knows is bullsh** one-shots and insta defeats which aren’t fair nor fun.
I was really excited when I saw they were adding a new form for bear druid which is something I always wanted since I started playing in BFA, but at this point I just gave up, even after the nerf, this challenge is impossible without wasting 10k gold in repairs and top gear.
No, they’ve got the whole “SPAM THE SCREEN WITH EFFECTS SO YOU CAN’T SEE ANYTHING UNLESS YOU TURN DOWN YOUR GRAPHIC SETTINGS” thing going as well.
Also, on that note, I had Kruul almost dead and I leaned forward in my chair, just a little bit too far forward and the whole chair tipped over and velen died before I could get back up and press roar to stop the adds.
Last night i finally completed the frost DK challenge. I won’t bother with the others. Took me about 120 pulls and thousands of gold in repairs, flasks, food, consumables etc… Was it fun? No! Why did i go through such a tedious process? Mainly because i wanted the DK armor set. And because i wanted to complete this iteration of MT with 1 character.
For some reason Blizzard believes that the majority of the average player base enjoys smashing his head against legacy content for hours and hours in order to get a recolored armor set. For some Blizzard believes that making this content more accessible to the players will have some severe detrimental effects on the game. Or it is just another desperate time sinking scheme in order to keep people around.
