? I don’t see the correlation between your perception of my ego and temp content.
Did you read the post? The temporary bit isn’t the point of contention, brother.
That’s funny since Blizzard posted it last Friday.

I took what he said as he only heard about the mage tower existing a week and a half ago.
Which is kind of par for the course in this thread apparently; a lot of people in here leaving comments with no knowledge on the subject. So he is welcome lol

ironic indeed
^^ This, exactly… I’m sure lots of people put off doing the mage tower until pre-patch because no one wanted to sub to a season 4 with no new content.
On a side note, I did have lots of fun in season four because i enjoyed the new dungeons for mythic plus… But if people didn’t raid or mythic plus, then season four was a complete content drought for them and I completely understand why they would have unsubbed until pre-patch.

We should have been given more than 3 days notice about this decision. People don’t check WoW news every day, it takes time for this information to get out.

Do you know what “in bad taste” means? I don’t think so. It was done to avoid issues with stacking powers.
No, the real issue is:
“Why didn’t blizzard think ahead and tune the mage tower before the release of dragonflight talents so that there wasn’t any downtime in the first place?”
The secondary issue is why blizzard didn’t give us more than three days notice.

you missed the point. just read the op. Or just read the comment above yours, it’s much shorter.
I just feel like being contrarian right now, so I could say, the Mage Tower has been up for many many months and why didn’t players complete it sooner. I dunno. As long as they activate it again who cares. Pre patch is always a mess. Something will be broken that they didn’t test for and someone will clear one of them at like 10% of the difficulty or something.
Also I think the title of the thread matters. It’s not “in bad taste”. That makes no sense.
What about this reason?
Blizzard has been making games for quite some time now, it is not unreasonable to ask them to foresee events such as this and plan accordingly.

I follow ya- it’s all just another example of “more of what blizz does to it’s paying customers that is-- in bad taste”. Don’t get caught up on the words too much though, it’s mostly baity.

Whoever thinks that pre patch and the biggest talent overhaul in 10 years is a good time to do challenging/ frustrating content is nuts IMO. The entire season 4 has been the end of the expansion.
It’s dumb they disabled Mage Tower. I agree. It’ll come back someday or it won’t. Have some dinner.
Non boring content to test out new talents in that doesn’t require forming a group ?
Gee, what gave people that funny idea.

Yeah, my thoughts exactly… Couldn’t have said it better myself honestly.

So you think getting your MT boss down to 5% is a great time to discover that your heal hits you for 10% less and you die instead of kill the thing? Ok, great, carry on then.
Same people doing this are the people that will come make a thread about how the game isnt balanced around MT anymore. lol
I mean, the only saving grace here is that S4 PvE rewards were extended for the folks who need them.
However, the mage tower is the kind of content that is perfect for the downtime between seasons.
Imagine if they hadn’t extneded the PvE stuff. The PvP season is over. The pre-xpac event is pretty weak and dracthyr are delayed another 2 weeks.
There is very little to do right now. MT could have been great filler.
I guess you can fix up your talents and reclear the raids you’ve already been clearing for 2 years? Fun?

I mean that’s literally what mage Tower is about. Trying, failing, trying again. Even if you succeed, you can tweak and test your talents again in an actual encounter and see if some defensives or cooldowns help you more.
Much better than spamming rotations at target dummies.
no human on planet earth is using mage tower to test out a rotation. If you’re the only one, congrats.
In the past they didn’t extend anything and they were all over when pre patch hit.
You didn’t try some of the challenges blind and testing out talents and swapping things around ?
You just read the guide and didn’t even fail once ?
Ok, I guess you’re a god or something.
Mage Tower was never supposed to be over, they said it was permanent.
