Bring back Mage Tower and Legion looks

Short answer: No

Long answer: Nooooooooooooo

well you didnt ask me, No please dont, blizz should come up with new content and looks please :slight_smile:

ill never understand why people think they need to collect every appearance its not like it effects their gameplay in any way

Because the value in exclusive things is often tied to the exclusivity. It doesn’t matter to you? Great! But it clearly matters to other people, or are you saying that everyone should conform to your standards? You are right and they are wrong? Do you also question the creators of limited edition collectables? It’s the same concept.

For the record, I’d be 100% fine with Blizzard bringing back recolors of the mage tower artifacts. But when a company says something is limited time, then they need to keep their word. Or do you make a habit of doing business with companies that lie to you?

Asking a company to keep it’s word is NOT selfish.

Asking a company to break it’s word just because you want something… THAT is selfish.

No. It doesn’t. The difficulty cannot be replicated unless they replicate EVERYTHING from when it was current. Meaning spells, artifacts, abilities, etc. Many of those aren’t even in the game anymore. I know the holy priest mage tower relied heavily on a very particular artifact power in one of the stages.

I’d rather they spent time on developing new content instead of bringing back old content that would be meaningless to many people as they already got the skins they wanted.

That’s why I’m against the carry’s for raid mounts and stuff that go away. I don’t have any and won’t participate in a carry cause I didn’t earn them and feels it takes away from those that did

Yet it wouldn’t be meaningless to people who didn’t get the skins they wanted…

Thinking like your post, Blizzard may as well remove all old raid content, too, because the content is meaningless to those who already got the armor they wanted from the raid.

Removing content is bad. It’s a loss of things to do from the game. It’s a loss of a goalpost for players to work on achieving.

No, you snooze, you lose.

If someone as casual and non-committal as I am, can walk away with the black harvest title, mop cm gear for warlock, and multiple mage tower appearances, you really don’t have a leg to stand on.

They gave us years. deal with it.

I’m 36/36. I put in the effort. I organized my time. I paid attention to the notice.

But I’m okay with another tint being added for latecomers who do an equal task. Things like the flails and bearilla shouldn’t be locked away forever entirely.

Too much time would be spent on scaling, bug fixes etc and tuning. But I don’t have snowflake syndrome so I’m not against it.

Blizzard is against it since they firmly said it’s expansion specific so they won’t return it, I don’t think.

Judging by the response here, you didn’t ask enough people. :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

People always want to ruin the occasional exclusivity. Until they have it. Then it should go for good, right?

What they did with Amani Warbear and making it a slight re-color is the best way to bring back stuff like that. It’s fine to bring back the event, but not the same rewards.

lol… 2020… entitled culture… gotta love it

Those dungeons and raids need no development time dedicated to them. If Blizzard were to bring back the Mage Tower where, as you said: “the challenge would be preserved” well that is going to take development time away from new content. The original challenge cannot be preserved unless they bring back things they already removed from the game.

They add new things all the time, so removing a few things is perfectly fine. We get entirely new expansions with loads of new content every 2-3 years (not to mention patches). At least they gave plenty of notice on the removal of the mage tower skins.

A company lying to it’s customers is bad, wouldn’t you agree?

Again, I’m fine with them bringing back recolors of the mage tower skins, just not the ones that they said were going away forever. You are advocating for Blizzard to lie to it’s customers.

I wouldn’t mind if they brought back the mage tower for current content. Not bringing back any rewards from Legion, but just bringing back the mechanics and whatnot for SL.

Could add some new cosmetics. I just enjoyed the challenging solo content and it would be nice to experience it once again.

Edit: Torghast might be like this, but I’m not exactly sure how challenging it is.

As someone who did roughly half of the Mage Tower skins, and has at least one for most classes, they should come back.

It wouldn’t be hard to implement as a scenario that scales you down, and the few people clinging to their precious “exclusive” weapons strike me as desperate for attention and bragging rights. Forced scarcity in a game we have to pay monthly to play is not good.

It was an arbitrary decision to not allow them to remain in the game. It can just as easily be an arbitrary decision to put them back in.

They lied to their customers when they put the MoP CE mount in the item shop. They lied to their customers when the Mini-Thor pet that came with the Wings of Liberty CE was put on the Blizzard store.

It seems to me people only care about Blizzard’s honesty when it revolves around something they have.

What?

There was no fine tuning on the MT. Most of the complaints about the MT centered around the fact that there were four generic encounters. And if your class/spec didn’t have a tool that you really needed, you just had to suck it up and work around it. That’s why some of them were easy and others were hard.

If you just scaled it, then certainly the difficulty for any spec would be different, since they keep fiddling with the toolkits. But don’t try to pretend that the MT was some great work of art that took tons of dev time to build.

Oh god, another one of these.

NO

Go use the search function and read one of the old monthly mage tower whining threads.

I mean, they were tuned towards Legion specs. Like how the void area for the tank challenge was bigger for Guardian Druids than all other tank specs. That was because of Luffa Wraps. Other specs had their challenges modified also, so they would have to re-look at all of these to see if they still make sense or not. Also what ilvl should they scale it to? It was originally completed with 900 ilvl gear, but most people got them done with Antorus gear and fully unlocked artifact weapons.

The devs should just focus on new content instead of figuring out how to balance this again for 36 specs.

No it wouldn’t. Those challenges were designed and scaled around the legendaries, artifact weapons and gear available in Legion. The legendaries and artifact weapons no longer work the way they used to.

And like someone already pointed out, this isn’t about keeping things from people. This was a reward for participating in content when it was current. There are hundreds of transmogs out there that you can get right now. I’m sure people will be fine that there are 36 they can’t :roll_eyes:
