Fair Warning: Mage Tower Seems A Bit Overtuned

of course not, hence the reason I asked the other guy if they beat it

I know this might be hard for you to understand, and I don’t know when u started playing WOW

But legendary items we’re what made these encounters doable.

At the very least, the legion legendaries should still be working

But nope… Blizzard hard to barebones it for some asinine reason.

you understand that gear does not matter right? Look what is the thing that is one shooting you and avoid it.

I can’t tell if its overtuned since I haven’t tried it in legion. We’ll see what Blizz does with this feedback.

I’m sure theres tuning coming around in both direction.

they’ll do what they always do…IGNORE IT.

Some of them took ALL of the challenge out of them. The Thrash Leggo for Guardian Druid for example (one of the most coveted forms from MT).

That isn’t how it should be. It should be based on spec ability and skill. Forget borrowed power

There’s nothing wrong with rewarding talent and hard work— even in a video game.

I need to see proof of the tower challenges being overtuned. We went through this back when it first released with people saying it was overtuned, so someone please provide evidence showing that the encounters need some adjustment.

I could understand if the adds basically killed you and gave you time to recover, but you can’t even melee anything. its like i have to moonfire everything to even do damage

Ah, so avoid the unavoidable spells. I could I guess not get aggro on them, but then they one shot the NPC and it fails anyway. Stop apologizing for this absolute trash tuning. They clearly put zero effort into testing this.

Nonsense, Blizzard clearly put effort into ignoring feedback.

Covenant doesn’t matter becasue all covenant stuff is disabled for it .

Even the legacy legion gear if you still have it or Legion legendaries are disabled .

It’s rough. Never did guardian in legion so no idea if it’s the same harder/easier now. It just seemed really, really hard when I attempted for almost an hour. I couldn’t even get the first phase down or the main boss below 60-70% lol.

Legendary items made them “easier”. Bears could beat their challenge without Luffa and the other one (name escapes me)…just harder and more work.

My quibble is if Blizzard actually took the time to thoroughly test these against current classes/specs…we had access to spells (or even lacked spells we have now) that absolutely would be a relevant thing. Just like TW dungeons aren’t an accurate reflection of the overall difficulty of running them back then, so too, do I suspect, these mage tower challenges will end up being.

Especially given that Blizzard likes to neuter us pretty hard in a TW situation…I’m guessing we’re the equivalent of a guy/gal in greens going into mage tower compared to what people actually had available and were doing it back then with.

“Bad players” will just play something else if the new thing isn’t within their abilities to reach. At least the original mage tower had diminishing difficulties.

I could probably get a few of these xmogs if I wanted to, but the reward for completing one isn’t anything interesting, so I’m not going to worry about it. I’m good with 2-3 specs, I’m not an expert with 7, and the only unique reward comes from doing 7 of these.

So… GL with this sort of design, devs. I hope it’s not an indicator of what the future holds for this game.

That was what my original post was about BTW. I’m all for a challenge. But if they want to create said challenge, they need to create appropriate rewards for it. These are not rewards worth the challenge, IMO.

Hey, I get it, your time isn’t very valuable to you. Have fun, man. I’m gonna skip this event.

And that’s fine. Not all content is for everyone.

This event includes Match-made baby-easy auto-win queued content, a good fit for you, it has Legion M+ Timewalking for players who want a bit more of a challenge, and then it has this Mage Tower challenge for folks who really want to push their own limits.

Not all content is for everyone and that’s fine.

Dumb comment.

Yozora prog in KH3: Remind took me 8 hours. I had a BLAST doing it, some of the most fun I’ve had in a video game in years. Cutting your teeth on something hard and the overwhelming sense of satisfaction of finally overcoming a challenge… that can’t be matched except by something equally or more difficult.

It’s not “a waste of time” if you have fun with progression. It’s literally why many of us raid. I don’t raid for loot, I raid to play challenging content. Same with M+.

I mean you don’t need 7 classes. Each class does a different challenge for each spec. Pretty much any permutation, I think, is 3 classes so long as you make sure you got a tank and healer class there.
