An instanced content like Mage Tower that rewards transmogs, that doesn’t need prerequisites like rio or high gear shouldn’t be that hard. This is not fair! I understand, not everything should be easily accessible by every John and Julia on the street to keep some content challenging and quality but Mage Tower isn’t the right place to do this.
I was aware that I am not going some place like normal LFR leveling Mists of Tirna and this wouldn’t be so easy but after the 18th wipe, I realized that they are trolling us! They ARE actually trolling us because they didn’t put a restriction on the entrance. If they put such hard content on us, then they should put rio/pvp rating/ ilvl restriction to the place and instance shouldn’t be even visible for those who don’t meet the requirements.
First Blizz itself then the whole community should realize that some transmog rewarding solo place (it doesn’t drops ilvl 259 boe with domination socket, is it?!!) is a public place and shouldn’t be harder than Pandaria Proving Grounds.Proving Grounds itself was a wonderful example of balanced content designed by REAL professionals! I, as an ordinary causal player, beat endless tank after 4 tries, healer after 2 tries and damager after 6 tries challenges and already have Proven Healer, Defender and Assailant titles. You went there, didn’t interrupt this, fail at 25th wave, you didn’t hard cc’ed that caster behind, fail at 12th wave, you panicked and didn’t use your large cd’s at the correct time, fail at 32th wave but in the end, after wipe, you see your mistakes and think it is greatly doable! And to some extent, I am encouraging everyone who didn’t go Proving Grounds and doesn’t have titles yet. You will get achievements, titles but most important yet you will see real challenging content with reasonable difficulty unlike designed mage tower non-sense!
I know what the people will say, it is easy, look how world first guardian tank with 234444k rio did it, git gut, you are crying, bla bla bla! Yes, I am crying but sometimes if you don’t cry, you won’t get what is rightfully yours!!!
Just nerf this damned tower and let me go my way after I get that druid forms!
My issue isn’t even that mage tower is overtuned. It’s that everything they release lately is overtuned. This just adds another piece of content that’s overtuned onto the pile in Blizzard games. Even in other games, like, holy… Diablo in Hearthstone. That was legit the worst thing they’ve ever implemented in the game, overtuned AS HELL, hitting the entire lobby for a total of like 70ish? damage if played correctly for the first turn where everyone had to face him. Next time 105ish?
It took like 5 tries in Legion for me to do the holy priest challenge, I’ve done far more than that now. Why? The mages are doing absurd amounts of damage on the allies. The allies are also breaking CCs so you can’t force them to go the mage, because blizzard changed something.
And for the people who beat tower non-sense before nerf, they should be greatly gifted after nerf with a title like ‘‘Mage Tower Hero’’ with a mount and extra transmog set! They are great players and deserve everything!
