The Mage Tower in World of Warcraft leads to frustration. Blizzard gives you more time to complete the particularly tough challenges.
Currently, there is very little to do in World of Warcraft. New content from Patch 9.2 is still to come. The only silver lining is the Mage Tower, which is currently active during the Timewalking: Legion event. Here, heroes of Azeroth can currently earn special skins and even a cool mount. However, the pressure is on many players. Now there has been some relief from Blizzard.
What is being changed? Actually, the Mage Tower was supposed to disappear on December 22, as the Timewalking: Legion would end then. However, Blizzard has now announced in the official forum that the tower will remain open for much longer than planned. The tower will remain open until January 4, 2022.
This should take some pressure off the players and encourage some people to attempt the tower with a different class.
In the Mage Tower, you must complete a challenge tailored to your class. This is a quite tough boss fight that originates from the times of Legion. Since your character stats are fixed here, the fight is quite challenging. You are rewarded with a great armor set (Transmog) or even a mount.
Why did Blizzard do this? There hasn’t been a specific explanation from Blizzard. However, it seems likely that the developers are extending the event because numerous problems arose in the first 5 days. For many classes, the Mage Tower seems nearly impossible to complete. Many hotfixes have already reduced some hurdles and adjusted the balancing. However, more adjustments are still appearing daily, as the tuning is simply not optimal yet.
A second reason might be that Blizzard wants to create another incentive to check out World of Warcraft during the holidays with the Mage Tower.
What about the other events? Although the Mage Tower will be active longer than planned, the other weekly events are not affected by this adjustment. They will now simply overlap with the Mage Tower, meaning that essentially two events will be active simultaneously.
Have you already mastered the Mage Tower and earned the skins? Or are you struggling with the high difficulty and finding it tough to get through?
