I wanted to reach out and share something that’s been weighing on me as a longtime World of Warcraft player. I’ve been playing Druid on and off since I was a kid—back when I’d sneak time on my brother’s account just to shapeshift and explore Azeroth in awe. It’s been my class ever since. The freedom, the nature themes, the versatility—it all just resonated deeply with me.
But lately, I’ve found myself feeling really disheartened when I see other Druids using the Mage Tower cat forms, especially the fancy Legion appearances. They’re absolutely stunning, and they feel like the pinnacle of Druid identity in terms of visuals. And yet… they’re locked away forever. It genuinely sucks to feel like I’ve missed out on something so core to my class fantasy—especially after playing Druid loyally for so many years.
I completely understand that exclusives have a place in WoW. But with the upcoming Legion Remix event, I can’t help but hope that this might be a time to bring back a way—any way—for us to earn or unlock those (OR REALLY SIMILAR/specifically the trail, or we could ADD that trail to the fire cat form. I feel that bit adds SOO muchhh) appearances again. Whether it’s through new challenges, cosmetics, or a remix-style twist on the original Mage Tower… I’d love the chance to finally feel proud of my cat form the way others do.
Right now, it honestly makes me want to reroll or even walk away. And that breaks my heart, because this game and this class mean the world to me.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. I hope others out there like me might finally get a shot at earning these beautiful forms we’ve dreamed about for years.
Sincerely,
[A passionate Druid main since the beginning]
Depends, you don’t know why they don’t have them. Could’ve been real life issues that prevented them from playing legion. That doesn’t mean they haven’t been a Druid main since the beginning of their wow career. Such an odd way to assess someone being a “main”
Either way, bringing back recolors would be pretty popular among the playerbase. It’s really only a small minority that wants them kept locked away, but a recolor doesn’t devalue their accomplishments so the point is nil.
The werebear too. A recolor would be great. Saw somebody suggest a tiger striped werebear and as silly as it is I think it’d be awesome to see. Or a red colored bear. Maybe a gray or tan color, who knows? There’s a ton of ways they could do it.
I think the main point would be to clearly distinguish the legion remix form from the OG legion forms. Make it clear the person is using the remix and not the original. Let people have their OG forms they find so special
I know there are strong opinions about this on both sides of the fence. I completed them in Legion, on multiple toons/specs and when they brought it back I completed them all for the mount and armor sets I wanted.
I don’t have any issues with them being available again. As long as the challenge is there and it’s the same level of difficulty I don’t see any reason not to open them back up as available content. Would give a lot of players goals to hit and time to spend and that’s never a bad thing
I think this is the solution everyone would be good with. No one wants to take anything away from folks who earned in it legion, they just want an opportunity to earn something new for themselves.
Bliz should really be turning out more models, but could make a major splash with some creative recolors. I’m psyched for a Benghal Wer-Bear and a snow-drift Sparkle-kitty would be amazing.
Definitely hope that if they don’t bring the originals back that they at least bring back recolors of all the artifacts during Legion Remix.
Druids are still probably the most malnourished customization class in the game barring Evokers/Dracthyr (which could be argued with Visage form), simply due to the fact that Blizzard just does not add in many new forms at all, leaving Legion forms to basically be the only options ever with maybe one or two sprinkled in during Dragonflight (almost a decade later at that).
I got the staff and catform during legion, and prefer the dream version of werebear with all the flowers, but similar to the legendary cloak affects comming back as a toy from mop getting some new reclors from legion revamp would be fun for all classes
Not just the mage tower skins, all of them should get a couple more colors, i want more ghanirs to match my outfits.
There’s always a but. It boggles the mind that Blizzard can pump out some of the best looking druid forms and hand them out for free and it’s still not good enough. Let it go cuh. You’ll be a lot happier when you accept you missed it, just like I’ve missed all kinds of exclusives over the years, and move on.
I’m m ok with any, either get the old ones or new tints.
However imo the best direction would be if they just gave cat and bear the moonkin treatment that was introduced in DF and allow them to customize their forms details at will
Even if they did 1 recolor of each specs artifact, that would go a long way to getting people to play it.
Especially if it unlocked the remix color in retail. That would be a huge draw to bring people in.
I would be so hyped if this happened. Bear and cat for are the most restrictive forms Druids have. At least balance can use glyph of stars and see their armor.
Plus new bear and cat forms don’t happen often. We got the DF ones and I think the last time we got new ones before that was legion. 2 entire expansions of looking at the same forms day in and day out.
If they gave them the moonkin treatment they could just add new options here and there to keep things fresh. They could even go further and maybe add armor pieces to the forms. Have them unlocked with completing a tier set, or maybe unlocking the mythic shoulder glow. There’s so many possibilities to expand Druid forms if they just invested in it.
It’s your fault and you should sorry your parents didn’t cook you up 5-6 years sooner…
Mage Tower has been exclusive for nearly a decade already. It can stop being exclusive now.
95% of folks got Mage tower cosmetics right before BFA prepatch…and it was released in 7.2 loil So let’s not play pretend that it was something that hella hard to earn.
Shadowlands re-release of the MT was far harder than the original MT (Source - every single person who has done both versions as current content on the internet)
I’ve done both, the original MT when first released was significantly harder. Sorry your anecdotal drivel isn’t worth the time you took typing it. And the appearances should remain gone. You whiners who want everything you didn’t earn is tiresome.
eh, I have heard different. It basically depends on when you did it. Yea, if you did it late in the Legion lifecycle it was easier, due to out gearing it, but if you did it early it was still quite the challenge.
That being said, more druid customization plz and thanks : )
