Mage tower success statistics - Post it Blizzard!

Hi Blizz,

please post the success / try rate for the 9.1.5 TW Mage tower scenario :slight_smile: . Myself, and probably other players would be really interested for the statistics.

I remember Blizz officially posted a screenshot (I will include here), regarding the MT attempts back in 7.2. The screenshot stated that there were 135k victorious attempts, out of 15.2 challenge attempts. They calculated that the average success rate is 32 attempts / challenge.

Screenshot here (can’t post links, so I will make spaces between the link, tie them together when you copy paste into your browser):

Post it for 9.1.5. I’m really curious how well people participated this time around. And it would also be great to see the statistics of the soaring spelltome (I’m included here, yay :slight_smile: ), as well as the 36/36 players.

I’d love to see this, I’d also love to see it by spec because I’d bet my house some were far easier than others.

I also think Blizz showing some of that information won’t reflect well on then, so they won’t.

There was a huge difference for the challenges based on my experience. Some classes and specs had a very rough challenge compared to others (hi @healer challenge). I wish they would balance it better next time.

I would also like to know how many players were able to obtain the mount. I see a lot of people with the book.

Exactly what I want to know aswell. Some are generally way more difficult than others from the mechanical point of view (Tugar vs Kruul), and some are just tuned insanely difficult (Agatha vs Closing the eye for example).

I would love to see the participation / success rates for specs aswell. Although I completed 7/7 challenges and even some duplicates on other classes to get the mogs, I still feel some are severely overtuned if you compare them to others. I would welcome nerfs to some without a doubt. Right now, MT is done and dusted for me, but if we would see some nerfs, I would attempt 12/12 classes, maybe even 36/36 in the future, but right now, it’s way out of reach for me since I’m not so good at certain specs.

For example, fire mage, elemental shaman, WW monk, fury warrior are very easy in my eyes. Way too easy if you ask me. I would compare these challenges to early 7.3.5.

The middle ground would be frost mage, retri paladin, VDH. These are fine if you ask me, and felt like very early 7.2.5. or even 7.1.5. I like this difficulty, and that’s how the majority should be if you ask me.

Others I completed, were insane. The Xylem one for havoc is insanely tuned. I barely completed while maining a DH since day 1 it was introduced. I would really like to see the success rate for this. Also seeing (didn’t try these) affliction warlock, shadow priest, boomkin ones, holy priestI don’t know, they feel way too difficult, I would never attempt these. These must have incredible bad statistic numbers.

Healer one is also very brutal if you ask me. And it’s not the same difficulty as Kruul which can be abit harder due to bad RNG, bad luck with orb spawns, lasers etc. Healer one is very linear and ‘programmed’, meaning everything is always the same. But if you miss 1 thing, it’s a wipe. I did it on my shaman and druid, and it was incredibly difficult. P1 was insane on shaman (absolute perfect play needed to beat it), and last phases were very difficult on druid.

The most interesting one I would like to see is the Kruul one for guardian druids. The success rate / attempt rate must be crazy here :smiley: I have the felbear myself (obtained after 30 attempts), but I know people have some insane attempts on this.

this is so true

closing the eye, agatha and sigryn were always my go-to to get class set, apart from DH which is kinda easy both ways kruul as DH was by far easier than any other tank, maybe 2 easy

worm was by far easier as WW monk than destro lock or BM hunter (eggs on these had way to much HP so during intermissions to much time spent of killing them rather than dps tugar unlike with monk)

twins raest has way to much hp, in legion i think he had less HP than his brother, now he has more than double, this makes the fight way longer than it should be for boomy and MM hunter at least.

no feedback for the healing one

Tower Overwhelming (36/36)
Feats of Strength: <1%

A Tour of Towers (7/7)
20 Points <1%

A Towering Success (1/7)
10 Points 4%

So not many according to Azeroth Data

I saw the data for azeroth & wowhead (not as accurate) statistics, but what I’m more interested to find out, is the attempt / success ratio for each challenge.

I would just like to see statistical evidence, that some challenges have it easier than others.

done it with ret… had a rough time, clicked on crusader enchant on the last day and wtf… 1 of 3 was dead halfway… not even in the hard part of the fight. It felt weird making such an impact.

I mean there were some things… that 7.2 start never had.

Sounds about right. It’s only for people who cared for the mount. Not many did… mostly people done it for the mogs they liked and stopped.

10

those statistics are weighted against the overall (subscribed?) population, many active players didn’t even bother attempting it as the rewards were nothing special, or are expiring accounts of people already on break.
and it’s very hard to weight those ratios.
to have any meaningful data we’d need to compare the successes to the actual attempts.

11

Yep.
I did not bother to check out this time. I didn’t liked it back then, after all I read about this new iteration, I skipped it happily. :smiley:

13

I can only speak for myself but I know some of mine.

Holy Pala: about 40 tries, done it the first 24 hrs.
Fury Warrior: about the same but maybe less so I’m guessing around 30 tries
Arms Warrior : 50 tries
Ret Pala: 76 tries
Guardian Druid: 150+
Frost Mage: 100 tries, killed it on 101. Been a while since I kited :sweat_smile:
BM Hunter: about 50 tries
Enhancement Shaman: 36 tries. Got my practice with ret pala.

But yeah I’m very curious about the % of players that either cleared one tower and those who got the mount. I’m seeing quite a few tomes flying around so I’m not sure it’s because people want to flaunt it or that more people got it than we think.

14

If they show anything, they’ll show selective information so it reflects positively. Not lying just omitting bits that don’t fit a ‘successful’ narrative.

15

I’d like to see what percentage of active subs even attempted it. I didn’t, not even once. Didn’t do it in Legion either.
I could go in and fail it a couple of times to up the stats on failure rate but for now I’ll keep my powder dry.

Less than 1% - that is why Blizzard are failing - do not cater to the 1% or your game will empty faster than you can say EMPTY SERVERS.
