So many angry people. I’ll just say that I renewed my 6 month sub after mage tower for DH veng. It forced me to rethink my gear and my trinkets and try different combos wiping over and over. I love seeing someone who spent the time trying different things to win.
Why does everyone these days think they are entitled to win day 1. Same people who would run here and complain too easy, unsubbing.
Blizzard, more time-walking mythic+, more mage tower challenges and less reliance on raiding. You got 14+ years of content to repurpose. Make it happen in 10.0. chromie on roids.
By no means are any of the challenges easy. Some are less hard than others, but none of them are easy regardless of how people want to spin it. If you don’t know how to optimally play your spec/class and you don’t know the strategy going into it, you’re going to have a hard time succeeding. I completed the frost mage challenge earlier today and I had a few close 1% wipes before I eventually got it. I didn’t use any consumables or specialized gear/enchants and followed the talent suggestions according to the guide. In all it took me about 30~ attempts to do it. Other specs have a much harder time completing these and those classes deserve adjustments, but IMO the frost mage challenge is 100% manageable if you know what you’re doing.
I would like to see the challenges last longer than 2 weeks considering how difficult they are, but I do like that blizzard made them more difficult rather than cake walks.
So basically a challenge for you should just be gearing and learning rotation.
Got it.
I prefer gear NOT mattering. It’s a challenge, not a gear check. If I do the mechanics properly and play well I should win. I shouldn’t wipe because I didn’t stack enough haste or crit.
Maybe we just have different perspectives on things. (And for what it’s worth I did the majority of these challenges in Legion).
It is. Generally frost mages that cant really handle it have troubles with kiting. As with most of the challenges people just need to try and learn it or watch a guide on it to get better at the fight. Most of them feel impossible at the start but after 10-15 pulls you get a better hang of it. I couldn’t get past 80% on the BM hunter one for like 13 pulls and it felt impossible but after watching a playthrough or 2 I managed to down it in another 10.
Leave the tower as is. It’s just transmog, not player power. This is what torghast should have been.
I tried it on my rogue and got destroyed. Stupid, ridiculously hard, but I really don’t care. Let the die-hard, want the game to have a “challenge”, if running at the same boss over and over again for hours on end with rng or a single mistake having to start over again an idea of fun.
Cool, just because YOU don’t care doesn’t mean everyone else has to adopt your crappy mindset. The majority of testers, posters and misc said it was overtuned EVEN BLIZZARD admitted this.
So yeah, tune it properly. Don’t leave it overtuned just because the rewards are cosmetic…
I mean, there’s more to challenges then straight up skill. Yes I had to go farm some equipment, but it’s a challenge system. Why is it bad to spend a few days trying for different loot. I mean, it’s still day 3-4 on what is supposed to be a challenge.
Honestly, it should be 80% skill with 20% gear to smooth over/compensate for weaker players. I did this, as frost mage with a crappy legendary before Tomb and it took a bunch of attempts because I had no idea how to cycle frost orb and reset with blizzard, but after I figured it out I beat the challenge and it felt great.
Now? I already know all the tricks/mechanics. And I can’t win because my gear isn’t good enough? Let me use my legendary/artifact then!
