If Tower Gear is Staying, Then There is no Reason for..

    Leaving focus effects disabled. Might as well give people some options besides tower gear.

    Not having CT revamp in Luclin as it should be. The gear from there is no longer "too strong" for the era. Same with Veksar, might as well move that forward too.

    Probably some other stuff I haven't mentioned that was gated away behind certain expacs for previously being considered too good.

    Focus effects will be enabled once Luclin launches, there is no reason to enable them earlier and take staff off other critical work tasks to make that change when it will resolve itself in a few months.

    Focus effects were enabled before luclin, the staff went in and changed it. Undoing what they did isnt time as time consuming as you think.

    More to the point, its absolutely stupid to champion for having things that only focus spells from level 20 and lower, and level 40 and lower not actually in game until you are level 60 for the third full expansion.

    Tower gear only affects this server. Its gone come January, which, unless they have plans to bring it back, means this TLP will be the only one affected by it.

    Theres 0 point to change rules for this TLP because of something that is temporary.

    Focus worked from day 1 on TLPs, untila dev experimentally removed them till Luclin for one TLP. Has been left that way since then. Maybe the dev left and noone else wants to touch it, who knows.


    Enabling OOC regen from day 1 on TLPs but leaving focus effects turned off still till Luclin is just head scratching wierd and very disconnected to put it nicely.

    I actually think that they should keep it on future servers but make a few changes. Let tower gear work as a catch up mechanic.

    Make the mobs a flat level 25
    You can only complete the tower missions before level 26
    Still let the gear scale every 10 levels

    If you are away for a year, you can return and still do alright with your scaling tower gear. You will obviously have to upgrade it all eventually, but it is a start.

    If you are starting out fresh, it won't take you long to reach level 25, take out the tower missions, and start your leveling grind not gear grind towards your guild's recommended raiding level.

    Defiant + Tower + Mercs = you can catch up much easier in the later expansions.

    People like you acting like you know what staff does and what's critical.

    *rolls eyes*

    Yes of course, forgot to mention that ooc regen is a far more powerful QoL improvement that dwarfs having focus effects.

    Tower gear may mostly affect Teek (and Oakwynd to a lesser extent) but ooc regen is a change that's going to impact any future TLPs as well.

    They should bring them back. Make WDCs good again.
