And do they take away off your new skills, gear and enchants. Do they make sure you don’t eat new food or use new potions?
If scaled down, it pretty much is. Let players use everything that comes with artifact weapons and keep the mage Tower.
OR just bring the mage Tower back for the current game. It’s a great piece of content.

Shadow would probably be much easier post Legion since Shadow is looking like it won’t be totally garbage in SL like it was in Legion
That’s solved with scaling
Mythic is Mythic… they did nerf water, didn’t they?
I wouldn’t hold your breath. They haven’t brought the Tabard of the Protector or Amani War Bear. It’s pretty clear that Blizzard is perfectly fine with rewarding people with limited time items and ignoring those crying for things like this to come back.

I think the mage tower appearances should remain locked. I do think it is reasonable to ask for some better looking weapon models-what weapon appearance do you think is missing? I think there should be more flail models added to game and that can be done without opening the mage tower back up.

As said above, some people who have it would scream with rage if it was brought back. It won’t happen.
‘Should it have been taken out’ might be a better question. Given that the SPEC QUEST CHAINS ARE STILL IN THE GAME? cough I’m going to go out on a limb and say ‘no’.
My guess why is twofold:
- Blizzard were retuning the classes and had based the fights around certain mechanics which no longer existed.
- They’d had a cosmetic ‘thing’ in MoP and WoD and removed each at the end of the expansion. They wanted to continue this tradition.
A far better removal was the worm mount in BFA - if you didn’t get it, you lost a recoloured mount. I doubt people will be posting about that years later.
A better option would have been to attach a title to the mage tower and lose the opportunity to gain that. My lock still uses the Harvest title as a point of pride but would hate any other lock to lose a chance to unlock green fel fire.

Scaling won’t change that the encounters were made for the Legion specific version of those specs.

They made allied races easy af to get now, f it, just make the mage tower appearances unlockable in current game somehow.

Actually, Blizzard should just put in recolors for all the Mage Tower appearances that everyone can earn.
They did that for Challenge mode transmog sets.

Exactly and didn’t they turn off all the effects on the legendaries and artifact weapons? I mean, they had to. “Scaling down” isn’t an answer.
The answer is to not ignore them when they say “this is going away.”

It’s a fair question. I think some appearances like flails, a new bear form etc were a real shame for players to lose. But, largely, I feel that the weapons from Legion are the high water mark for crazy fantasy… The vaguely realistic weaponry from all of BFA feels far less exciting.
Which IS a problem.
Minor changes to specs isn’t going change it that drastically. And the game is already designed around cosmetics being accessible.
but why should I do it when it’s new!
Someone will ask. Because you want to and it’s fun.
I don’t have the mage tower transmogs on my main - I honestly didn’t like them (or the weapon itself). I’m also not much of an achievement hunter.
I do agree though that these skins should be special. If I wanted it at the time, I would have made the effort. I understand you may want them for alts you didn’t level at the time, so a reskin would be the best option.

most if not all of the recolour sets are hideous and are not used by any player

But they exist as an option.
Yes, yes!!! Be butt hurt. Doesn’t matter to me. I’m just trolling and love watching people whine. Thank you for fulfilling my request. You have amused me much!
I would assume that this will eventually happen.
I would expect the recolors to be slightly less awesome…because that’s how the challenge mode copies turned out.

Yeah Artifacts were disabled in BfA and legendaries are disabled in SL on which takes away some of the mechanics classes had in Legion. Not to mention standard spec changes and the addition of new spells or re-adding old spells that would change the encounter drastically and make it easier or harder depending on what got changed.
