I have been messing around with the mage tower. As a veteran of this game, I find it unconceivable that Blizzard does not make it permanent.
But why?
The mage tower is an excellent test for checking your knowledge of a spec you dont usually play. It is excellent training also for new players.
The mage tower allows people to try and min max their “score” for FUN! I believe blizzard should add some timer system with it that we can compare with other players. For healers a score combining dps/healing and a ladder per spec and class would be awesome.
The mage tower allows people to try new specs and new classes. No crazy gear required, just jump in with the minimum required and try your skill at the spec.
The mage tower brings back to liife the economy of passed expacs, as well as brings back to life some old raids.
If anything the mage tower should be expanded and have extra layers and scenarios. and made permanent .I t provides for hours of gameplay (try reasonable to do all 33 specs, you will see, it is a nice long journey)
Blizzard, dont just add weeks or days to the tower, make it permanent. I have been playing for 17 years and for the first time I have been trying new specs I have never touched, hell I have even started playing a healer which I have never ever done.
Please do consider it. There is no downside to making it permanent, just upside. For the Legion timewalking event, you should add new features
it remains uncompleted for the majority of players so I say thats all the reason you need for making it permanent
Now if only it could offer some actually interesting rewards.
Considering the mage tower isn’t replacing or destroying anything with its implication I tend to lean towards the something is better then nothing mindset.
Though yeah, it should be permanent. It should also move to ‘templates’ with your choice of secondary stats. Maybe even choice of legion legendary, and if they actually wanted to put effort into something for once… The legion trees from artfiact weapons enabled again.
