i hope magetower is not a one hit wonder and is gone after the 2 weeks lol. bring it back with new challenges in legion tw. fill it with cosmetics and dont wast it like torghast.
Its still a Pandora box. Blizz might Learn to not make timelimited items, but in a few years when the older players are gone they might dare to bring them back. Still i think it is a fair compremise they made to the mage tower.
I would assume that yes.
btw thereâs nothing bad with exclusive content as long as itâs not an abused feature, as in most things âin medio stat virtusâ.
personally Iâd like every expansion to have itâs own time limited challenge reward themed around the expansion.
in SL I would have liked to see some form of challenge, rewarding a mourneblade styled weapons mog for each spec (as in frostmourne/shalamourne etc).
in a world where every expansion hits the rest button for our character progression, it would be nice to carry on a little token that shows visually that a character has played an expansion when it was current.
this is just my opinion ofc, Iâm sure plenty of other players consider any form of time limited content a bad thing.
Yes i totally agree, i usded this exemple in one of y previous post, i think that curve achievs is more than enought to feel âspecialâ or âshow offâ
Like in raid, you can still have any old raid mounts, any achievs, any titile, and mogs but not the curve and i think its very good that way
For mage tower it is the same, you do have a "FoSâ achiev to feel special

Feral druids - if you needed a proof that they donât give a damn about you - there you go.
Please explain why canât we get recoloured weapons? Setâs are cool and stuff, but why canât we get weapons? And letâs not pretend that it would undermine the challenge - it wouldnât because it was already undermined when ToS released, not even talking about Argus. Little Timmy could have done Antorus LFR and just roflstopm Mage Tower like a big guy

Exactly my point as well, I have brought it up in earlier posts tooâŚ
PvEâers have nothing to show for except Cutting Edge or Ahead of the curve FoS +mount
But, people can still farm PvE stuff all the time except FoS achievments. Solo old mythic raids 2 expansions later for mogs/mounts/titles.
PvPers on the other hand have it all to themself, and fomo locked it all.
edit: but do we care if other people go to the mythic raids and farm gear and achievments we worked our asses off during progress? nah. enjoy the mogs.

personally having some visual representation of the achievement ( a weapon mog in this case) rather than a line of text in some GUI is preferrable to me.

Lol as if anyone cares about FoS. A cool exclusive visual item is way better than an achiv

Well, you have to think what is better for a company, make a little part of the player base happy by not giving it back, or make most players happy by allowing the to have more content to do and farm it
Indeed, but we dont know how many players are against it or not. I dont think forum is valid in that context. Blizzard need to step carefull because they could appear unthrustfully introducing old mage tower. People have lived without it for some years, might just wait a few more until blizzard promises has forgotten and old player base is gone.
I agree! And i think the same, i dont get mad if people enjoy the mogs (which i remind eveyrone asked work to do so its a bit silly to âreduceâ this work to ONLY available content) and make cool transemog sets with them !
You nail it right <3
Thatâs the order hall set
Lol, just tried 15 VotW, tuning was all over the place, but was quite fun.
It is always nice to see needlessly cut content return (I hope the MoP/WoD Legendary questlines will be next, with new rewards).
But can we please also unlock the remaining Mage Tower Artifact skins of all classes/specs, if we earned at least one in Legion with our main spec.
I was really disappointed when the artifact skins became transmoggable for all specs with 9.0, since I could have unlocked the amazing tank skins (bear and flails). But I did not finish it, because I thought back then, that I would not play tank much often anyway (A decision I regret since SL).
Back in Legion I made the mistake to start trying the Mage Tower very late, confident with 7.3 Argonite gear. I assumed wrongly, that at least some mechanics could be ignored.
Due to my disability*, I am very bad at stressful situations that require adaptive strategies (thanks for LFR btw.). But many other average players have still a chance to succeed by becoming perfectly routined and having lots of luck.
I can make progress this way too, however sooner or later, I often experience to hit a plateau where I can not improve any further.**
In order to succeed as planed, there was not enough time, too many goals (skins), lack of tank experience and a really high amount of destructive constant stress.
So I ended up only completing the challenge on my main spec (Unholy DK) and trying but failing another challenge (Havoc DH).
I had the chance to also try and learn at least the bear challenge for the final 6 weeks or so, but I was so burned out and conflicted (I can do it, I did DK; no I canât, I failed DH), that I decided to let it be.
Because of the SL transmog change, this decision turned out to be the wrong one. I ended up not taking the chance, I could have still had the time for it and the possibility to get motivated again.
Thanks to the reintroduction I will be able to try these challenges again (even on classes I did not have at 110 in Legion), I donât know if I can finally beat more of them. But if I do, It would feel like an empty victory, even a loss by missing out a reward I could have earned years ago.
It would be easier to accept if I had skipped the Mage Tower or Legion back then entirely. However I did try it, I succeeded, I failed, I experienced motivation, but also stress. All sorts of emotions that never paid off the way I hoped.
And if the Mage Tower will be available once again, my missing out on the Artifact skins may become a torture, which every Legion Time Walking could torment me like Tantalos.
The intend of the time limitation of the Mage Tower Artifact skins was to give it as an exclusive for active Legion players, this would still be true if you re-add those skins with my suggested condition of having earned at least one in Legion.
(btw: The Fel Bear is imo a downgrade, i.e. lorewise a misfit, since fel is corrupting nature)
*regarding my disability:
I was born with a rare 1:1million brain condition: âcorpus callosum agenesiaâ, which means the part of my brain which connects both halfs is missing. While my brain developed during growing up, it managed to compensate many issues by ârewiringâ itself.
Both halfs either took over certain tasks by themselves or learned to communicate only via the brain stem, each also requiring more energy. Thatâs why tasks that require coordination or balance will take longer, are more exhausting, or even impossible under stress.
It took me three times the expensive driving lessons to learn routine and get my drivers licence. A few years later I decided giving up driving alltogether, because I was insecure and indecisive in critical situations that almost endangered my life and that of others.
**Btw: I was not able to complete the final Nazjatar arcane chest rhythm puzzle. I stayed calm, took breaks, focused on my coordination and used youtube to learn the routine. But after several days of many hours of tries, I realized I can not beat the ~400ms tick of the last third under any circumstances (btw, connection/ping was good).
Should this arcane chest be removed from the meta achievement?
I donât feel entitled to get the crab mount, even though I almost earned it.
But is it fair game from Blizzard to lock a world content reward behind a hidden (b/c unannounced) skill level that is more in line of mythic content?

Cool, I wanted to try those challenges, especially since the introductory quests to those still exist in the game.
I wish Blizzard would one day return the weapon appearences, even if I think most of them look meh to horrible and the only one I really want is the Havoc DH one.
Also Iâd never use anything gel looking on a druid and Iâm not a fan of that form anyway but itâs great for those who like it I guess.
What was even the point of removing WoD legendary questline? Did it reward anything besides a ring thatâs now useless and Garona as a follower?
impressive, very nice
I love that the mage tower is opening again with new rewards but blizzard can you please have a look at the requirements for unlocking tints of the old rewards in Legion? Im specifically refering to the 10 Rated battleground wins. It is almost impossible to get it done these days without paying boosters to take you in and even so it is a slow time finding teams to play against. It would be awesome if you added another way of obtaining it along the side of RGBs for those who still wish to do it that way. Like winning 100 random battlegrounds, it is still time-consuming but way more doable.

Guardian druid looks sooooo goood
You canât class every item limited item to obtain âhard to getâ - to which I agree with you that some CM + a few Mage Tower battles were very very easy. But! Game is very old and there have been specific different points when the game had limited rewards.
If you donâ t care about those players ,why should anyone care about you and your opinion?
Itâs not about having or not having .It was limited time event ,and people spent a lot of time to obtain those skins . If you played back then ,then you would know that in other to ATTEMPT encounter you had to grind currency first ,which took a lot time.
You are the selfish and envious one for wanting other people things.
