I would just hope that the tower will at least eventually be reasonable with solo-aquired gear. If I have to do high-level group content to get these transmogs, that’ll be very frustrating, given that it’s a solo-challenge (and group content already gets loads of awesome gear, mogs, titles, mounts, etc).
I also would hope that we’re not seriously expected to keep sets of old gear from previous expansions around. That’s just… really annoying. I get that some people like it, and that’s great if it gives them a little bit of an edge and makes them happy… it just should not be required.
We shouldn’t be stuck in radio silence for 33hrs when something that is hyped is DoA. Please, for the love of all that is holy, please, at least respond within 12hrs, that’s more than reasonable
Thank you so much for saying something about this!
The guardian challenge especially needs to be looked at again please. The whole reason the werebear was brought back and not the other MT skins is because it’s such a unique skeleton. Seeing even mythic+ players & other top tier players give up after all day trying made this goal feel unobtainable.
Please consider your average player above casual. And when I say “average player”, I’m not asking for a hand out for people who can’t even learn the mechanics. I do want a challenging and fun experience but I want it to be realistic for me, especially with only 2 weeks. Right now this challenge feels not just a little, but far out of reach.
They didn’t say corruption was part of the tower, they said classes got nerfed when corruption was live. Without that borrowed power smoothing out their class they are bad.
Just like how during legion some specs would literally triple their DPS output just having the right legos.
Oh yes by all means, take your time with the “evaluation” it’s not like this is an arbitrarily time limited event or anything… Also very surprising this happened at all when the challenges were tested on the PTR for all of 24 hours and you did exactly zero tuning to account for the fact that you are sending players into these challenges handicapped by restrictions which prevent the use of borrowed powers when said powers account for basically half or more of what each spec can do. If anything let this be a lesson of how bad borrowed powers are for the game and just how we all feel at the start of each new expansion when they are all taken away.
Oh and let’s not forget the major slap in the face of the thousands of players who voted to get the Soaring Spelltome as the free mount by shamelessly dangling it as the reward for doing this utterly broken content while advertising it as a fun little timewalking activity when in truth its a brick wall of frustration brought on solely by your lack of care and competence in balancing and tuning the encounters. Well it worked, you got me to resub but I’ve already unsubbed again and you’re never going to see my money again. I hope Bobby enjoys raking in the ill-gotten $15, its the last he will ever see from me.
Honestly, just shame on you guys. If you’re not going to put any effort into making and maintaining this game just shudder your servers and walk away while you still have some dignity left… oh wait, too late for that.
What would be truly and exceptionally tragic would be any adjustments to the tuning of gear, or any of the older content consumables and items used to boost proficiency thus far, because I spent every gold I had for 1% gains, and if you nullify those efforts I’ll quit the game forever.
I actually couldn’t care less about the transmogs. Most of them, with the notable exception of the Priest and Warlock ones, use very poorly thought out color schemes that I will personally never use. All I want is the mount for my mage since it fits the fantasy perfectly but there is no way in hell I can do all 7 challenges in this current broken state and in just over a week. I have zero incentive to do any of them if I can’t do all of them because I only want the mount. The fact that they were at one point offering this mount for free and to now make it the reward for that nightmare of an event is just insulting. If they already had the artists make fully functional designs for all the mounts then why not just give it to the players and make everyone happy, you know right in time for the holidays? But not, only thing we’re getting is yet another dose of frustration.
Tell me about it. Especially if the only reason you are putting yourself through this nightmare is the mount. All those hours of frustration doing the individual challenges feel meaningless because they aren’t even why you are doing it and it could all be for nothing if even one of them proves to be impossible to do in the short time this event will be up.
It definitely seems like just a couple specs need tuning (Resto sham, and disc priest come to mind), and I haven’t heard/seen/tried the halls of valor ones yet, but other than those every one i’ve tried so far has been very doable and I haven’t used any of the tbc/crafted gear scaling either.
PLEASE keep it as a challenge, but make it available with the mage tower all the time, not just during timewalking. This gives players a chance to farm gear to give them an edge without ruining the fun of the challenge, and actually leaves it as a prestige achievement and not a “RUSH TO FINISH” when its up for a week every 3-4 months…
So basically do the changes they made to the tank challenge during Legion? I agree with these changes. It is not as intense as the series of nerfs blizzard made during Legion.
