With different achieves, rewards, cosmetics. It would go from easy to extreme and be a perfect way for someone to slowly learn the class and spec, as well as tanking and healing mechanics. More extreme modes could be timed and be part of eSports as well.
And every expasion, add new challenges and rewards to the tower.
And pull all the current rewards on the hardest level.
Unless you level boosted, that is exactly what leveling is: slowly learning how your class works one skill at a time. Not the games problem if someone canât be bothered to pay attention.
How about you canât buy boosts till you level a character to max. Even for returning players after a year or two. They need to learn what an interrupt is and know that warlocks have soulstones.
Edit: I re read your post and I KNOW you did not say esports. LET IT DIE
I guess heâs suggesting the system FF14 uses, where you fight in some arena and each time it gets harder, making you use your new abilities. So like mage tower would be used as you level up. You hit new level, get new ability, you get sent to âmage towerâ to see how it works.
I mean, neither of them are particularly good for learning the basics of your class.
The Mage Tower basically outright asks you to play in suboptimal ways to play around a gimmicky fight that are barely applicable to how the game works normally. Thatâs the point of it, that you know your spec deeply enough that you can radically shift how you play for one specific encounter.
The point behind the mage tower is it was meant and is meant to be a challenge for people who are good at their spec. Why would we add difficulty levels to it so someone can learn their class and spec in the thing meant to be a challenge of high skill for people with that class / spec?
Theyâve already made the Mage Tower niche content, designed only for the top 10% of the playerbase to experience.
Does it have to be worse? Does it have to be more elite, so that the players who can do it now have even more epeen-worthy bragging rights? âOoooo! You only did tier 3 of the Mage Tower. Iâm a tier 23 player!â
