Reopening the Mage Tower with Legion Timewalking in 9.1.5

I was expecting blizzard to mess up and of course they delivered.

Although I have several old mage tower skins - it would make me extremely happy to see more people using and being able to earn them.

In the current state of WoW, fomo rewards are outdated and only add to more toxcicity. Instead of wanting to attract new players and give them a shot at old rewards which could draw in a lot of people who left - they instead decide to once again cater to a steadily declining group of gatekeepers who are happy as long as others don’t have what they do.The recolours are ok - but weak in comparison to the original skins. To add insult to injury - bears are the only ones getting a reskin of the old tower appearance.

I guess FF is thanking you for contributing to their playerbase.

PS: FOMO is keeping Ebay RMT account trade alive - which is not healthy for the game at all.

The minimum number of character is 3, since guardian is the only character that can do 4 challenges (all other have 3) and no class matches the 3 challenges not available to druids. On the other hand there are plenty of combos to do it with just 3 classes.

will this be available during every legion timewalking??

Yes, all 3 of them.

2 weeks are not enough. it should stay for a month for the first time.

I think it’s completly silly to punish ppl just because their life circomstances did not allow them to play.
I was in a hospital fighting for my life- which I am quite often - so I missed out of mage tower.
Due to health reasons I often need to take wow breaks. E.g. Started SL 8 months “too late”
Imo no mount/gear/look/achivements should ever be restricted. Let ppl grind them if they want
Just because you had the right circomstances too play doesnt mean you’r a better player
Doubting blizzard will read this though

I have all the mage tower appearances and no it wouldnt diminish accomplishments. If it is tuned similar to how it was near end of legion, then what does it matter when it was available. Stop with the FOMO and seasonal awards that become unavailable later, thanks.

Is the Mage Tower a one time thing or will it come back every Legion timewalking? Just to know if I have to rush

As someone who took the time to do all 36
 glad to see the tower back for lore and fun reasons - the encounters were fun and major storylines’ endings were made unavailable when the tower was removed.

I’m also glad to see you’re not pissing on the people who got the skins when the content was relevant; it was clearly communicated they were going away. Just like Naxx 40 items, TBC titles, ToC tributes and proto drakes, whatever the hell there was in Cata, MoP CMs, WoD CMs. There’s always been limited time content - if you missed it, that’s unlucky for you. One day you’ll have your own stuff that someone will envy you for.

I personally thought it’s sad that i can’t get the weapon mogs
 so the event seems hollow, but i don’t care anymore due to this!
Blizz plizz show us how it looks like. :no_mouth:

I do like the bear skin :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

No it would devalue those items. You got new rewards.

There’s no value in cosmetics

Does that mean that each of those sets can be earned only if completing the challenge with the corresponding class?

Yes there is. If cosmetics items would not have value you wouldnt have weapon skins in cs:go sold for thousands of dollars.

Different game for one thing, for second by that logic they should not let us do old raids for the transmog seeing as they are so valuable.

You are right. You should not be able to farm atlest mythic sets from absolote content. It defintly should change to keep value of those sets.

No, just no, so we take out all the fun out of a game while were at it?

There is nothing fun about getting items for facerolling content what nobady cares about. Nothing.

In your opinion yes, for others people enjoy collecting old sets & making cool themes out of them, there’s nothing wrong with making these weapon skins available for all as legion was what? 5 years ago, if it impacted the game & made you more powerful then sure remove it after it was current, but seeing as it’s cosmetic there’s zero harm.
