I did do the Mage Tower during Legion, I did it as a Resto Shaman. This time around I am playing on a Holy Priest, but they get the same scenario. I copied my Priest over to the PTR and was absolutely wrecked. I consider myself a pretty damn good Priest, not the best mind you but still pretty good. I think 30-40 seconds was my "best" attempt so far. I'll give it another shot today later but I really don't think I will make it past the 1st wave at all.
The artifact weapons challenge appearances were a better reward than recolors of ToS gear.
Still have all the legendries I used the first time I did the Mage tower, looking forward to it.
Question (that I haven't seen a clear answer on) – Will the actual artifact weapons be functional in the mage tower challenges? Thanks in advance!
I think wow overall lacks identity and most of all, a consistent value. Making something like Mage tower more available to the casual "always failing" player, you loose a potential core value for that content to be special. These days, power is everything, you need little to no skill to be
good-, it's all a matter of how much time -youcan spend farming/wasting your life away in order to do the things you want. I'm not a big fan of power creapy games, but mechanics in wow are pritty solid. All i see is a huge missed opportunity, and overall, scaling isn't perfect tho by far the best thing they did for wow. In a PvE angle i can agree "growing" by gear may seem delightful, but all that could have been kept withing the lvling itself, how power is the dictator of PvP will never make sense to me in any game what so ever.A Feral main w/out his conduits (etc) ? Ugh …..
What about Legion legendaries? If I have an old Prydaz sitting in my bank, will that work in the Mage Tower Timewalking?
do you even need pathfinding to fly down? jfc
Its gonna be really hard without Legion legendaries
Can you use legion legendaries? Because druids can benefit greatly from Luffa’s Wraps.
so wait, when exacly mage tower will be avaible?
and did guardian druids will struggle with highlord return?
This is literally so lazy , the fights are not new , it's just recycled old content. They are intentionally gimping youbeing squished with no legion functionality (you can't use your artifact lmao ) this is quite obviously to make it a " challenge " so in essence they're giving you recolor armor to so a recycled gimmick version of actual good content.
This is not impressive at all.
The scaling is really weird which gonna piss a lot of ppl who won't be able to complete it for sure.
I know nothing about the mage tower besides the rewards. How does the mage tower work? is it just one encounter? is it a series of encounters? will it need to be unlocked or is it auto unlocked and u just show up and do it? Only thing anyone has said "the mage tower is coming and here are the rewards" ok… but WTF is the mage tower? lol
imagine do all the fucking work in legion for months and now you get it for free.
I'd rather prefer to be it, to be challenging, honestly, this game is pretty much people bitch too much then we get given shit
Luckily they also added some casual content in the next patch! … Oh sorry is this not the FF/ new world channel? My mistake bye 😂
Whenever blizzard does something there’s more cons than there are pros. It’s ridiculous. I find myself stressing out over the game more than I find myself enjoying it.
i thought it will be different new encounters, not the same
So let me get this straight, they want you to enter the Mage Tower w/o using any of the power systems that THEY forced a character to use, but you cant use them.. Gotcha!! This is going to be a nightmare for some.. IMO!!
As mentioned here this content is going to show how bad some classes are going to be without borrowed power, a bit disturbing Mage Tower is being put out to us in a release build which tells me Blizz has done ZERO testing with the current classes as per usual. They never learn from their mistakes.
What if my NPC isn't there?
None of this is making want to play again. Scaling issues or not
