Kindly return artifact appearances

No, it’s created by a person.

The “F” stands for “fear.”

I asked myself the same thing when I was grinding out artifact power like crazy. Doing every WQ with AP and spamming dungeons. Anything to get more AP. Later on, my friend joined the game and effortlessly caught up with me because of a catch-up mechanic.

I simply accepted it and moved on.

I had my trophy of having a maxed-out artifact for months. That was the prize.

Absolutely nothing. It’s really fine for people to be rewarded while it’s current. Just like mythic transmog.

Exactly. And it could be a win-win-win for the players who are just starting their journey now.

I don’t think that motivation via fomo is healthy. I never appreciated it while getting my limited-time prizes and I’m sure others feel the same. It felt like I wasn’t playing the game the way I wanted; rather I was playing the game to not miss out.

Healthy motivation is wanting an item or appearance. Toxic motivation is applying some external pressure into procurement.

Cosmetic skins, mounts, toys, titles and pets are all content. An artist had to conceptualize it and render it. An engineer had to anchor it to your character’s body. Time and effort was spent on it; therefore, it’s content.

You can’t zone into a weapon skin. The content is the Mage Tower and Blizzard brought that back.

With new rewards, of course.

So you are trying to argue. No thanks.

I do not deal with people that are not constructive.

Whatever dude. I was having a conversation with you.

You know fear is created by an individual. A spider makes me jump out of my skin but my husband used to have one for a pet. I’ve accepted that I will never own a KSM or gladiator mount and this is something anyone can do. If you can’t accept missing out on something and create threads demanding it back, then yes that’s a personal problem.

if the feldrake showed us anything the community at large is fine with unobtainable cosmetics returning.

The fel drake wasn’t a seasonal reward. It was available for years and Blizzard never said it would remain exclusive. The MT skins were advertised as limited time.

I am going to break my rule here and talk to you.

The forums were absolutely flooded with “slap in the face” posts.

The same thing would happen when these cosmetics get released again.

But blizzard knows the servers will still be up after the are released and players will be happy.

If you cannot comprehend nuance then that is not my problem.

But I will not argue with you. As far as blizzard saying something is here for a limited time. Its blizzards game they can give everyone frostmorne next week if they want to.

Speaking of which, I linked the video that’s not even a year old yet of Ion saying gladiator, AOTC, MT, etc. rewards like that are not coming back.

Like you said, it’s their game.

i know you’re one of those that just ignores anyone that disagrees with you (which is why your request for this will never get anywhere past this thread)…but this is not true - and if you actually play, you’d know this.

the problem with the game isn’t that you aren’t getting a mage tower skin…plus you barely take collections serious (from your armory), so idk why you’re asserting stuff like you’re the word of god on this matter.
:joy:

Value is a function of supply and demand. The limited nature of these appearances is part of their intrinsic value.

That said, the limited number of appearances for Druid forms is also a problem I wish they’d start addressing. There’s like 1000 dagger mogs, but only like 20 bear forms.

“I think it’s okay so it’s fine”
Or
“I don’t like it so it’s not fine”

The sad mentality of blizzard gamers.

No. It should not return. Get over it.

I agree OP. The artifacts should become available again. I believe the challenge should be equal or greater than original difficulty though.

I read a post that was made a couple years ago that suggested implementing a “Heroic” difficulty for Mage Tower that would reward the originals. I think that could be an interesting idea.

They should also bring back old elite sets for pvp to be earned.

Yeahh don’t think so

id be up for the chance to earn what i couldnt get before.
make the mage tower open again, with harder bosses, maybe even new bosses that give the old rewards.
im missing warrior.
pally.
priest.
shaman.
and hunter.
any chance to ear those ive neglected to earn then would be ideal.
that being said, why not wish for new upgraded versions? i.e the fel werebear.

I don’t think people understand how difficult some of the mage towers were when they first came out. Even with people getting 30-50+ ilvl from when they first released, folks still couldn’t get the tank ones down.

I’m pretty sure only a hundredish people actually got the bear skin in the first month of its release. I got mine the second week it was out after a few nights of pulling and optimizing my gear. I remember I only knew of about a dozen druids who got it before me in the Dreamgrove discord.

If they made it harder, people wouldn’t be able to complete it. Even if they made it the same difficulty, 99% of people aren’t gonna be able to do some of those challenges. The risk of releasing it again and someone cheesing it, bugging it, or just bad balance from blizzard isn’t worth it.

Make cool stuff to do now that people can be proud of. It was sunsetted for a reason and players like me really got after it to ensure I got it done on several of my favorite classes.

Show me the population drop after the feldrake twitch drop? I did not notice anything. No massive protest. Because the diehard FOMO community is a small and vocal here on the forums.

I await your proof of the drop after the feldrake drop.
