Subscription cancelled, wrote them its because overtuned mage tower and ignored feedback from PTR testing.
And they are still not listening, todays hotfixes are good example, changes are too small to even notice and they think it’s enough. Nope. Most specs haven’t even received any help at all. We still need massive nerfs to everything in mage tower by at least 50% so its on par with other timewalking content in terms of difficulty.
Hell, they are even making it harder and harder for everyone every day by nerfing ways to cheese those crappy encounters by using old gear/gems/enchants and don’t compensate those nerfs by nerfing bosses as well.
Vote with your wallets guys, this seems to be the only feedback they care about.

What class you struggling with?
Is it really that bad? I forgot about it but I know I couldn’t do it in Legion. But people are talking in trade about it.
MM/BM hunter, VDH, outlaw rogue, aff lock are the ones I tried and it’s overtuned mess. None of those received any help with hotfixes. Actually they made it even harder, because of nerfs to items with broken scaling, like ocular trinket from SoD, my crit on hunter went from 40% to 28% just from that single trinket hotfix.
I’ve done it on MM hunter and BDK back in legion it was significantly easier.
Outlaw/aff aren’t overtuned.
Just focus adds>boss and have prio on the ground AoE imps I can’t think of their names. But keeping the floor clean helps a lot.
Affl is the easiest of the lock specs, it’s a long fight just don’t forget to soak the runes with your pet
How its not overtuned if my rogue dies in 2 seconds as shield+imps spawn? Imps spam theirs sh1t like machineguns and damage from boss is absurdly high…
Sounds like you aren’t killing them fast enough? Only your mfd on the adds, don’t use them on agatha. They die in a global
I think you remember the fights being “easier” because you had legendaries, and by those dates on your achieves, you did it when you had more gear (ant) and the fights were a joke. Could be wrong
This sounds like a clown fiesta. Get us the hell away from this expansion already.

Well to be fair, the original MT was designed to make it easier to beat with gear upgrades through out the rest of the expansion. It was hard even with mythic raiding gear at the time it was released.
The problem we have now is that gear always scales, so there is no reasonable progress to eventually beat it. Also, the amount of times we get to try are very limited compared to the original MT.
Nerfing is the only way to make it easier over time, but it’s going to feel cheap if they make it a selling point a few months from now.
My post was about the overall tuning of the MT being bungled, not about how I as a single player could not get my Shadow challenge done.
I said from the beginning that Shadow was one of the more doable ones and I would probably get it with more practice. I also said from the beginning that Shadow was easier than Frost or Affliction, for the Twins challenge. I also said that I had tried other challenges that paled in comparison to Shadow.
But somehow, the Blizzard defenders all rushed in to attack me personally for being unable to finish Shadow specifically, instead of realizing that Blizzard did not do a great job of balancing the content overall. So when I read that nerfs would be incoming, I went back to the Shadow challenge and finished it off so that people wouldn’t focus on me being unable to finish Shadow. In the end, though, I don’t think Shadow has been nerfed at all.

Imagine taking the time to be a sad and pathetic human on purpose to make such a comment.

It’s only the minority on the forums that are complaining.
The ratio of people in mage tower compared to the people on the forums is like 10:1. That’s a completely made up stats but there’s more people in game in the mage tower than there have been anywhere- so thats a big positive
I think people just want the mogs without the effort. People used to getting spoon fed
I’m just gonna say this here. I understand that they’re hard but “nerf it or I cancel?”
Pathetic. It’s called the mage tower challenge
My god people.

Thank you for making this thread, OP. Blizzard obviously saw it, as they have decided to nerf the mage tower. This is all thanks to your post. Your actions are appreciated by the community.

Not to toot my horn here because I haven’t completed it yet, but… Have you? The new one, not the Legion variant.
I doubt any of the nerfs were because of this one individual thread.
But trade chat, zone chat, and various social media are mostly full of people who are convinced that these challenges are either brokenly overtuned, or outright bugged, so even the arrogant devs at Blizzard (who usually tune out any negative feedback from the masses) simply have to know what a disaster this has been.
What are the odds we will see the OP on Tuesday?
I’ve done the boomy and guardian one, yes. Boomy took 4 tries. Guardian I invested like 2 hours into.
Enjoy the minority club , MT is clearly for the elite and not the casual
