Make the Mage Tower Challenging So We Can EARN the ORIGINAL Appearances

Dexter and Beak are not the same person.

It’s ok, I think i’ve been accused of being just about everyone on the forums at one point or another.

It’s unfortunate but I’ve seen this pattern over the years of removing content as a scare tactic. Even entire storylines have been removed. It’s sad and I’m hopeful Blizzard will reverse their prior mistakes.

I just take my hand and mush that turd right up, goes down the toilet no problem afterwards.

Because you can go back and get 99% of this game whenever you want. The people who like exclusives should have something they can chase too. I like exclusives. It’s fine if you don’t. But I do.

What entire story line has ever been removed?

MT story is still in game. You can still contribute resources to it. It just does a zone buff now.

It wasn’t a challenge to begin with.

lmao.

I’m not sure I would say the DPS challenges were challenging but exhausting where you had to do the mechanics over and over. At some times it was so long that the boss stopped doing a certain mechanic as the fight dragged on.

Didn’t they remove the paladin/warlock mount quests? I did mine in Classic and it was a nice story.

You can still do the story… I even did it on a dwarf.

*I am speaking about the pally on only. I do not have a max level lock. But one can assume if its there for pally its there for lock.

How, the quests were removed?

No you can’t. The questline is gone.

Wrathgate(I think) and all the druid form quests are gone as well.

Wrathgate is a scenario not a story line. You can still go to the icecrown and play the starting and finish parts. You just don’t storm UC anymore.

What I still do not get is why did they remove the Benediction / Rhok’delar quest chains? Because of Cataclysm? We have an entire flight of dragons who will change entire zones now.

UC is smothered in blight. Dragon lady will turn back time so I can go to the UC. Just ask her to turn the dial back a little bit more lol.

Was a legion solo challenge mode thing that came out after we got to the Broken Shore.
Depending on your spec you did one of several challenges battles after doing some bit of lore stuff to explain why you were there. It was centered on the Mage Tower because it had a portal to get you to wherever the fight was.

On release they required nearly top end gear, a lot of skill, and usually a lot of repetition to get down. They forced you to do things you may not have been comfortable with. For example, the healing one required DPS to make the timers. The tank one required not standing in things. DPS ones required interrupts and CC along with the usual avoiding stuff and maxing DPS. And they were nearly all on some sort of soft enrage.

And as a reward you got a new set of artifact appearances.

Unfortunately, it looks like they’re likely going to make mage tower braindead easy according to what I’ve seen data mined on wowhead. It is by no means a guarantee or anything, but it is a very strong indication.

First things that come to mind are the Panda cloak and WoD ring quest chains. Didn’t they both have the conclusion of the xpacs, or at the very least significant portions, wrapped into them?

Are you sure you can still do those on retail?

Also the MoP cloak chain is gone and that’s not even just cosmetic, not having it actually keeps you from going to fight Ordos still I think.
