PTR Spoiler/Discussion Thread (Part 1)

And the Mage Tower will be up for one week to then go back into the Disney Vault for half a year if I understood correctly.

Two weeks for the first time and then go back in the Disney vault for half a year to only be available for a week.

They had almost learned… Almost.

Great! So it won’t overlap with the launch of Endwalker. How considerate of Blizz.

  • The dungeon quests for unlocking Kul Tiran humans, Mechagnomes, and Dark Iron Dwarves are no longer required. After accepting the dungeon quest, speak to the NPC again to choose to skip the quest.

Such user friendly, much intuitive, wow

Yeah, if you were gone for X or Y reason, just pay for a month token and then leave until March or June next year.

Best part was when he got dropped from a cliff by the Jailer for being useless…

They really should make timewalking every week.

You know, just have them swap out weekly.

They should just make you able to level in any of the old content to max level.

why not just make it so that the dungeons are easy to solo and that way players still have to Do Content™

can’t have 3 year old content be easily solo’d, that’s just silly!!!

The fact you can’t continue to use Chromie Time after level 50 is a certified bonehead decision that I fundamentally don’t understand. If you have a max level character you should be able to level where ever you want.

I only say “if you have a max level character” because I know Blizzard wants you to see the story, laughable as it is.

don’t be silly, why would you want to do old content when there’s fresh content right here!!

i mean, it’s supposed to be here but it really isn’t, but you also can’t do old content hehe

so the only actual new content (to call it that which is already dubious) isn’t available for four weeks and will only be available once very four months after that

very interested in this strategy of “let’s just concede defeat” in all but name

They have a lot more time to tune it, which begs the question, why not release sooner?

“we’re excited too”

haHAAAA

I’d like to say I am not so cynical to say that the Mage Tower launching later is to sucker an extra month of sub time out of people who didn’t read the fine print. Then again let me invoke Hanlon’s Razor and in stead say they probably need the extra time to tune and fix the Mage Tower.

Nice, can’t wait not to be able to use gear I grinded (Not me personally) in the current expansion and have it to be the best choice. Who doesn’t like having to go back piecing together old gear that you likely deleted to be the best you can for a Mage Tower run.

Just farm some Legion raids with a bunch of pals for easy gear! :smirk:

Will Legendaries work again for the Mage-tower, though?

Were you expecting anything else? I am already surprised in and of itself that they aren’t deluding themselves into thinking that 9.1.5 can compete with Endwalker and holding off the release even further.

More last minute censorship changes :blush:

A ‘hot take’ but actually everything should be legal in the mage tower.

If you happen to have:-
a full set of legendaries from slands
a superpowered azerite neck with top tier essences from your spec
an artifact weapon
a fully buffed up set of azerite gear (that also doesn’t occupy your legendary slots)
legendary rings from WoD
legendary gems+cloaks from MoP

then you should get to take advantage of that
and if that means it’s easier for you then congratulations, you can either a) enjoy the rewards of your literal DECADE of commitment to the game or b) simply choose not to use these things and enjoy the challenge.
