The Faceless title coming back is a good thing

Blizzard is testing the waters by bringing back something simple and largely irrelevant.

Rather than complaining that they’re only bringing back a title when so many other things are lost to Prestige™, we need to be showing overwhelming support for the ability to earn something we missed the first time around.

Show Blizzard that the players who want to be able to earn it in the present outnumber the players who already have it and would get mad if other people could get it.

Prove to them and the shareholders that bringing things back is a good thing so they’ll do it again for the things that matter to you.

We on the forums are the vocal minority.

The average player sees something unobtainable and just forgets about it, moving on to something that they can achieve instead.

I’m all in for Horrific Visions.

I like how Blizz are leaning in on the solo challenge content. I’m a potato and some of the tougher stuff is so hard for me, but when you get it the feeling is awesome.

You’re assuming they’re ok with it being unobtainable because they aren’t here complaining about it.

It’s just as likely that they see something is unobtainable, hate it, but either don’t realize there’s an official forum to complaining about it on or just aren’t the kind of person who complains about things.

Silence isn’t approval. It’s just a lack of feedback.

Now if they also bring back corrupted gear, that would be a winning combo.

If they brining back visions they better bring back the cloak and corruptions since it was a major mechanic

They half ways are… lol

As for this topic, I hardly think it quantifies as “testing the waters” to bring back what OP is inferring. Very far leap in logic here.

How so? They’re bringing back something that was made limited for the sake of prestige, but they’re being really safe about it and only bringing back something that can be swept under the rug if it goes poorly.

This being well received doesn’t guarantee mage tower appearances coming back, but it’s certainly more likely to happen if people don’t make a stink over it.

And there it is.

I hate when people say stuff like this, it is so toxic. It is okay for people to be proud of the things they earned. It signifies to others that either they’re skilled at the game or they were THERE. I don’t know why people who weren’t alive, playing, didn’t try, or whatever reason they don’t have something, think they have to have everything or even deserve it. I got artifact appearances from MT on 2 classes. I’ve never thought to make posts on the forums to beg or whine or complain that I can’t get others or pvp rewards, past m+ mounts and it goes on. I’m not even against things coming back, but I am against poor attitudes such as this with all the negativity directed at players who are simply proud of their achievements and accomplishments.

Because. And this is a very important point. People who hate that other people can have things are asterisks and asterisks should never get their way.

Ever.

Well when you say things and behave the way you do, I don’t think you should get your way either. Some really poor attitudes on either side of that coin. :dracthyr_shrug:

Sorry I don’t have the most charitable disposition towards people who get angry that I’m allowed to play the same game as them.

We also don’t know how much feedback or complaining Blizzard receives in game. I’m guessing the forum is a small modicum of the overall communication they actually get.

I guess you’re an asteriks then (whatever that is) since you hate that other people have Mage Tower mogs and Titles that are no longer available?

Good to know.

Blizzard is bringing back Horrific Visions, and bringing back the title for it.

Blizzard already brought back Mage Tower, but didn’t include the original rewards. The ship has sailed.

But this getting upset or petty with people who defend the things they earned or were there for is tiresome. I can just imagine Blizzard devs not wanting to bring back things like Mage Tower original rewards because of the constant bickering like children every other day.

I’m not against anyone else having the title, I’ll still wear my facelessness with pride. If Mage Tower rewards ever came back, I wouldn’t mind recolors of my Ghostblade daggers. Hot-Pink or Gold/Orange would be sweet.

If it’s a good thing then bring every thing back that was removed. If they don’t care about keeping their word then just break them all.

It’s a good thing precisely because it means they’d consider bringing back all the other things.

We need to show support for the thing they’re bringing back now to communicate the fact that we like stuff being brought back so they’ll do it again.

Having an extreme stance on a fairly easy to get at the time title is a crazy look. Blizzard should go back on their word more often. Just this patch we were told that primordial wave was too complicated for ele so they made it more complicated and bad. They should walk back that one. Once upon a time they said covenants weren’t going to be what they were and it took over a year for them to correct it, and correct it they eventually did, despite saying all kinds of things to the contrary. Bring things back with rerun content, if the content is in the game so too should be the rewards it really is that simple.
