That tower, straight ripped from FFXIV

Yeah… because roguelike dungeons/towers were created by them…

You played FFXIV?
You climb, collect loot, leave, turn loot into additional items.
What roguelike does that?
Also, timeline wise, roguelikes are fairly new in comparison

Good, they also took AH from guild wars 2, and they should keep taking stuff from other games, it’s not illegal and it benefits the game.

Oh I know, it’s a good thing.
You’re supposed to borrow from the best.

I don’t remember anything like that unless you are talking about HoH or Potd. Which doesn’t really have items you get people just spam it to level their other jobs.

Yeah, because FFXIV is a totally new invention with totally new ideas and the most unique MMORPG in the world. Give me a break.

It actually does though lol at least for weapons, materia, pets, mounts, ets

Definitely.
My only concern is that they marketed it as a primary feature where as PotD and HoH from FFXIV is considered side content, and for good reason since it gets old fast. I’m wondering what Blizzard will do to keep it relevant for an entire expansion outside of cosmetics.

I’m hoping they can improve on it
But it’s not new from FFXIV… Tower Climbing is as old as NES Gen.

Honestly, they could’ve done more, I’m a bit disappointed, but it is what it is. Just keep your expectations low, it’s not the glory days anymore, expect mediocrity and you’ll get satisfied, probably.

You’re right, as a general concept yes.
But the way theyve made the tower per his description, 100% FFXIV
Yeah I noticed that THEY definitely have some WoW devs who play FF14 on the side. Hanruake Manor in Realm Reborn is almost copy and pasted onto Waycrest Manor.
I am fine with it because Square Enix hijacked some ideas I saw in WoW first. I wish they would adopt the Aether Current system instead of artifically time gating flying for the expansion.
Just open it up zone by zone after you meet a certain criteria. Blizzard could feel free to hijack elements from FF14’s profession system also to create far more depth.

If you want to go this way, then FFXIV ripped it off Aion.

Dude, all I’m doing is pointing out info, don’t get mad okay, just a game
Tower dungeons have been a thing for really long time.

If you have to get mad over being corrected, do it. But don’t come say X stole this from Y. Everyone does it these days. And all I can wish for is the tower ascension in WoW is better then Palace of the Dead / Heaven on High. Because all people do there is leveling up instead trying to push for it.

If fair, every modern mmo took their entire basic structure from wow.

Um but actually you do get items. You can even get an upgraded weapon as a catch up for alts (or if you’re just behind period), materia (think gems for sockets), cosmetics such as mounts minions and even hairstyles, housing items, etc.
But in regards to OP’s topic. Yeah pretty much every modern game has ripped off something from another at this point. Just like M+/ and greater rifts were basically ripped from GW2 Fractals.
I just hope it’s implemented well.
