Reopening the Mage Tower with Legion Timewalking in 9.1.5

[Xandracon-proudmoore]

Yeah, lots of pots calling kettles black in here. Been following threads about the MT for the last few days now. Its actually gross that Blizzard sides with some of these people. I had a guy tell me he hopes I get hit by a car because I wanted the artifact skins to return. The best part is his comment hasn’t been removed by a moderator. Hell it hasn’t even been hidden.

@Ralanthel-thrall

I hope you just go play in traffic for awhile.

@Rollo-thunderhorn

But they already sell at least one limited time, event-specific item on the BMAH - the Core Hound mount from the 10th anniversary event. That thing was in the game less time than the mage tower.

Someone call the cops.

Didnt they also say those are going to be put on the BMAH as well – similarly like AH mount?

Reintroducing those same appearances now would diminish those players’ accomplishment,

No, it wouldn’t, everyone should be able to have these warglaives and others mogs

[Ishikara-proudmoore]

If you put value on having a weapon skin in a game and a limited amount of others players having it… Take a hard look at yourself and reevaluate your priorities in life.

[Siengé-silver-hand]

@Lilfry-lightnings-blade

Definitely not… so what’s the harm in letting others get it now?

Because of the argument “I got it and now you can’t so neener neener.” There’s no reason to not bring them back.

@Kaivax

it was firmly established that those rewards would become unavailable. Many players pushed themselves to collect all the appearances they could before the tower closed. Reintroducing those same appearances now would diminish those players’ accomplishment

Thank you for acknowledging this point Blizzard. This is a very good change and a very happy compromise for everybody involved.

[Saòirsè-aggramar]

Then Demon hunters should also get a recolor of there glaives: Not only is there nothing else like it (I MEAN THEY ARE BLADES OF FIRE) Demon hunters lack Glaive transmog in general. And yes I want my monk skin but what’s fair is fair right?

[Doness-kargath (Doness)]

It’s very sad that Blizzard still follows this mentality, of keeping things locked forever.

[Gidgetz-icecrown]

I agree with you but since mostly everyone complained about the Druid tank form it’s the only one they brought back. I don’t really care for the armor re colors as well it’s like doing old raid for transmogs except it’s a different color. I have some of the mage tower appearances but I wouldn’t mind it coming back for those that never got it .

[Lilfry-lightnings-blade]

You’re in a 4/10M guild that only killed Remnant last week. Don’t try to tell others that content is hard when it is actually easy. You’re the last person to determine if something is hard or not, rofl

New Rewards
The Timewalking Mage Tower Challenges may be the same as those that players experienced in Legion, but the rewards will be different. When the Mage Tower closed at the end of Legion, it was firmly established that those rewards would become unavailable.

And you lost me.

No reasonable reason for you not to let us get those original rewards.

If I want to operate my business in say Florida, you’re suggesting because I’m based in Delaware I’m exempt from Florida law? You’re not suggesting that I hope.

@Illiaster-moon-guard

Didnt they also say those are going to be put on the BMAH as well

They didn’t say that at the time. It was after the “limited” announcement. Why didn’t anyone sue?

[Xandracon-proudmoore]

@Kàlma-stormrage

You should have earned them when they were a challenge then

@Kaivax

Each Challenge comprises a series of solo encounters that must be completely survived to earn rewards, and in Legion Timewalking, they will not require that you have an Artifact, or even that you originally played Legion. While the Challenges were considered quite difficult for most of Legion, we’re tuning the encounters in Timewalking to normalize player power, with the intention of providing a meaningful level of difficulty to current players.

Sounds like they’ll still be challenging to me. /shrug

@Siengé-silver-hand

Here’s the problem with this idiotic reasoning:

Respect for a development team of many people who know more about the game than you

@Siengé-silver-hand

@Kaivax

Reintroducing those same appearances now would diminish those players’ accomplishment,

Here’s the problem with this idiotic reasoning:

When the Mage Tower came out, it was fairly difficult…for a while. By the end of its run, most of the challenges were already diminished by higher tier and guides, and lots of people were able to get them. Meanwhile… how many people during Legion were able to get the mythic gear from the raids? This gear is now largely trivial to get (there are a couple of Legion boss fights that are still difficult on Mythic just because of mechanics) now.

So what about diminishing the value of the skins from Legion raids? What about the effort of the players who got the tier sets during Legion? Why are others now able to get those skins? What about the mythic skins from WoD? Are those not diminished now? Simply due to bad luck, those skins can take months to get, where the MT artifact skin challenges typically didn’t take that much time to learn.

The logic behind the reasoning for not re-releasing the original skins is horribly inconsistent. The real reason is to not bruise the fragile egos of a very small portion of players who are against the skins coming back, even though the logic behind it is a logical fallacy.

F- to the dev team on this decision.

It’s just a game, Champion
They should not return the MT to start …

[Devyn-moon-guard]

Massively disappointed in the werebear skin. First chance to obtain it since MT went away, and it looks nothing like a druid skin. I understand wanting to make it more Legion themed to celebrate the expac moving to timewalking…but none of the other tmogs (excluding classes that normally use fel) seem to be excessively fel-themed.

I don’t know, it just sucks that it doesn’t even look remotely druid-y besides being an animal. I know tons of druids, myself included, like to coordinate our forms with the rest of our mogs, and there aren’t even fel druids anywhere in canon that I can find.

I really hope they introduce further alternate werebear skins that actually look like the class they belong to, maybe keep the same fur color but different armors? Keep the tattoos and alternate colors? That way the armorless, og skin is still unique and recognizable, but the overall skin actually matches the class aesthetics while still allowing for unique looks and customization with tmogs.

That, or pick an overall theme, and keep it consistent across the new MT rewards.

No, I would suggest making your business into a Walmart-sized large corporation where it would be really dumb for the state to pursue litigation against you.

@Luuni-area-52

Source needed.

[Spacefrog-illidan]

Please reconsider and make the artifact appearances obtainable.

[Bonetotem-azralon]

Disapointing, recolor tints of old sets as a reward for MT is very underwhelming. And Guardians get the appearence, “there is nothing like it in game so we will allow them to get it”, bs excuse, just allow everyone to get them. There are no flails in game either, so allow paladins and warriors to get them too?

Stop overthinking Blizzard, just let people have fun and get them, let people play your game.

People find value in any number of things, be that virtual or reality. Judging others based on that is more of a key you should look hard at yourself and recognize some people are just different than you are with different opinions.

[Ellincia-hakkar]

Do me a favour and stop talking, you are being unbelievably ridiculous. Also, are you one of those Rhielle loyalists people have been talking about?
