Then I got the Fel-werebear, and realized being a werebear is way cooler than being a normal bear.
Too bad I’m stuck with one color palette forever.
Blizzard please reconsider. Werebear druid is awesome, but being stuck with one color isn’t. Give us the other ones please.
Hell, give us new ones please.
Give us anything I guess.
Clearly people want to use the werebear form, but it’s kinda sad seeing most druids stuck using the exact same color werebear.
I’d say they should add something new. The original one is a very striking… off-white. Now that the uniqueness of the actual form isn’t a thing, some of the actual bear form skins you can still get are way cooler IMO or, like I said, something new (and actually cool) would be better.
Plus side is it lets people with the original still have warm fuzzies from their exotic low cost housing paint scheme, and everyone gets something that (hopefully) isn’t bland as stale Grape Nuts.
I think any guardian druid who didn’t play during Legion, or that didn’t attempt/complete the Mage Tower in Legion, should consider themselves lucky and be grateful they even have the fel werebear. Blizzard didn’t have to add it back. The rest of the specs in the game didn’t get anything from the new Mage Tower even remotely as cool.
Eh, I’m fine either way, they can add all the old stuff back, or not. I main a resto shaman these days, and I didn’t bother doing any of their stuff in Legion. It is what it is, plenty of other mogs in the sea. I actually have the off-white one for Druid… and all I use is the Fel one.
New stuff is, I think, easier to get away with for Blizzard. If they bring back the old stuff, they need to be prepared to bring back all of the old stuff, and I suspect they’re aware of this. I’d do it, but I also understand that’s a bigger ask than it appears at face-value.
What about players who didn’t play Druid in legion. (Like me)
Or players that didn’t play legion at all? There’s a lot of people who’s first expansion EVER was BFA.
What is gained by restricting this kind of stuff?
Or why not just add new colors to the werebear form, clearly it’s quite popular.
I somewhat agree, just don’t bring back the old ones.
I have all the Hunter appearances and only the Tank and DPS Monk ones, wish I got the healer one and the rest for other classes, but they were difficult and honestly a way to show off class mastery, and also a way to show people you played Legion when it was current.
They just need to do the same thing, just with new DF class-themed weapons instead, I think they’ve got very good artists that could give us cool weapon appearances.
Have entirely new colors or forms to get.
That way, people who did the old mage tower still have something to come back for.
They do this with Mythic+ mounts, why can’t Mage Tower be a new seasonal content? Maybe keep it expansion to expansion, and update it that way.
Limited edition stuff people enjoy, even in real life.
To quote Ion, there are things in WoW “that are very deliberately no longer available”.
I didn’t play during Vanilla. I thought the Scarab Lord title was really cool when I started playing in TBC, then learned it was unobtainable. I wasn’t there to get it, something I understood very well, so I never once felt entitled enough to ask for it or get upset over not being able to get it.
They’re not going to add more. Unless you’re a guardian druid, the rest of us got nothing cool. A reskinned t-mog, woohoo. I’m not saying I wouldn’t have loved to get a recolor of the Mage Tower DH glaives, because I would have loved it, but none of us got that. You really should be grateful you can get anything that looks remotely as cool as the werebear.
While I agree (and am fine with this, playing mmo’s for near 30 years), I’ve never felt like effectively dead content is particularly good design, and the longer time rolls on, the more of that stuff that just disappears. I think once a year I might see a scarab lord mount, or someone in T3 / challenge mode gear / etc. I’m even seeing the original MT skins less and less, as people quit, change characters, etc.
That said, I think if they did bring old stuff back, one way to keep it meaningful would be to keep it hard to obtain (ex: mage tower style stuff), just not actually impossible as is the case now. I guess I’d just rather see people enjoying that stuff out there instead of it mostly being relegated to memory.
People like getting trophies and those trophies start feeling less like trophies when they can be acquired at any time.
The MT was a challenge for the current gear, spells, talents, artifact weapons, consumables and legendaries we had back in Legion.
All that has been either removed or changed. You cannot recreate the challenge from Legion, as we plainly see with the current version of the Mage Tower.
There is nothing wrong with giving players that participated in content when it was current an exclusive reward. They do it with Gladiator, KSM, AOTC and pre-launch events.
Again that’s great and all, but most “exclusive rewards” are weapon transmogs, mounts, or armor. Things you have literally hundreds if not thousands of options to select from if you don’t get the exclusive rewards.
If you don’t have that awesome PvP Elite color variant of your teir set, too bad. But there’s at least 3 or 4 other colors you can earn.
Werebear form? There’s one option. Singular. Add more options. You don’t even have to add the exclusive ones.
