Reopening the Mage Tower with Legion Timewalking in 9.1.5

@Nivmie-draenor

These forums should get nuked by blizzard. They’re adding content they didn’t have to at all. Bringing back mage tower with new rewards and rebalanced challenges and m+ legion which is way more than I’d ever expect from legion time walking and people still whine about old transmogs. Yikes.

Yeah. Because for many people that was the ONLY reason they wanted the tower back in the first place.

Also; screw M+ and anything related to it.

Eh? They are free to add nothing. It’s just that people are free not to stay subbed then. )) And the amount of “content” here is pathetic. Some tuned numbers and some reskins. ))

As someone who never got into mage tower and feel like I missed out I am super looking forward to this (and legion m+ time walking)

Same. (5 characters)

A .5 patch isn’t normally a content patch. It’s still the biggest .5 patch with the most overhauls.

Some tuned numbers and some reskins.

If they were COOL reskins they might have a case (albeit still a bad one).
But they’re literally some of the worst I’ve seen in WoW’s existence.

Yeah Blizzard is desperate. That much is clear.
So they shouldn’t be making stupid decisions such as this.

Not when the answer is so simple: Give all classes one new skin for their artifact weapon appearances. Done. Problem solved.

Yes i understand , that is lame.Ugh ,at the same time i am on your side and i am not ,because of " chain reaction ",if that make sense.

I get it. And it’s fine people have different opinions about this.
I feel it’s Blizzard’s job to put this right because what they’re doing now is pissing off way too many people.

[Apsalare-turalyon (Apsalare)]

Not worth the trouble for just recolor that of what we already have.

For many classes those sets are not even that interesting.

Mate, don’t look at patch numbers, look at how long it takes them to release patches. Because we are paying for time, if you don’t remember. In the time it took them to issue 9.1, we previously had both 5.1 and 5.2, for example.

And what is this with “biggest”??? All of their changes take next to no dev time. It’s clearly seen that this is the main criteria for picking changes for the patch as well. A big issue and takes a couple of hours to fix = go. A big issue but takes more than that to fix = no go.

Don’t take me wrong, it’s good that they are doing a fair number of improvements all over. But in terms of development effort, they are very minor. Half of them could fit into a weekly patch. And the rest probably into another weekly patch. And I am not joking here.

[Apsalare-turalyon (Apsalare)]

First time around, according to Ion, they’v made such a cool weapon skin so they had to make a good unique challenge to earn them.

Now they return the challenge but gave it generic rewards for everyone except druids.

Good way to make happy no one.

[Zolanji-skullcrusher]

What i always find funny, is that when a collector eddition mount like the quilien from mop that peoples actually spent real money to get is pout in shop poeple are happy and dont say anything bad about it…but when its actual content which got reoved for no reason being put back people cries…i dont get that logic!

[Plamcia-draenor (Plamcia)]

Did you know they added that mount to shop few yeears ago?

[Furyeclipser-stormscale]

Ok ,let’s see if this would be fair compromise .

*For me argument to not return mage tower skins is that in order to attempt encounter players had to grind currency first, therefore people spent a lot of time just on grind.
It seems that many advocates for return of skins are not aware of that.

*Argument for return of skins is that many rules have been broken in past ,which is true.

OK,if we return grind in order to not diminish effort of people who done it back in day,would that be fair ?

If i am informed correctly ,soul cinders will not have time gate,so people can grind.

Would 50 soul cinders per attempt be fair compromise to please both sides ?

Oh right, in that case mage tower should be up all the time.

[Zolanji-skullcrusher]

I know, and i did spend real money back in MoP to buy the “limited mount” from collector, and when it was added to shop in bfa i didnt see many people being mad at it (i wasnt even yself) i just ifnd funny that when it touch to “your accomplishement” it get like “no me no wana it back! why would thsoes plebs get it” (even if it wasnt hard and vain to feel special about it)

[Shumensko-azjolnerub (Shumensko)]

What compromise are we talking about? We all know that forum discussions have no influence on blizzard decisions. It is what it is.

[Zolanji-skullcrusher]

Wait what? Why would you put currency requirement if you considere the mage tower seems to be available ONLY during legion timewalking which is 1 week every 4.5 month…

[Furyeclipser-stormscale]

If they put currency it should be available all the time. ( will add it to post )

[Psjohly-argent-dawn (Psjohly)]

Time to farm your nethershards now!

[Shumensko-azjolnerub (Shumensko)]

Haha, that was exactly what I thought. Maybe the reason they add it back is to make everyone go do argus invasions xD
