Delve Curio Exploit

Apparently there was an exploit of sorts, that allowed players to quickly level up Valeera.

I’m wondering. Do you believe there will be a rollback for those that took advantage of this? Obviously, it was not intended, because it was hot fixed.

I believe it was abused for the fabled 4000 first players to kill the new nemesis, and having a souped up Valeera would help.

I don’t know honestly. If Blizzard wants to punish people exploiting that though then I’m sure they will pretty soon.

Well, I’ll be surprised if Blizzard does, but if souped up Val manages to be a significant advantage for the 4k then it’s already cooked lol.

I swear to god I am sick and tired of finding out about fun times after the fact. I looked at WoWHead THREE hours ago, and they posted it literally 2 minutes after I closed the page.

As it stands, I may just slide back into my youthful shenanigans. Seems to be the way to get a leg up is to be a cad.

Any delvers going into tomorrow without 45 valeera gonna get ownt

WH might’ve just written the article for it, but players have been doing this for more than a week. If this was an “exploit” they sure were slow to fix it.

Just like they were slow to fix Brann’s Hatarang exploit that went on for months.

Silly Blizzard. :rofl:

I would be excited then. Harder difficulty means more fun to me. I dont need to cheat to pwn Delves.

Don’t worry, there’ll be a video on YT a few hours after servers come up with some player cheesing the delve boss.

It’s mind numbing boredom and idk how people got xp so fast. I started the week doing full clears of grudge pit and up until yesterday I’d been just pulling the entire first phase, aoe it down and loot curios. It was taking several runs just to get one level and mines only at 16

Too much squeeze. Not enough juice. I’ll wait for S1 in a few hours.

My Valeera is also 16.

I thought there was a bug where players weren’t seeing the real level.
This is still fairly easy to do on a tank character. You can get 3-5 mislaid curiosities with a single pull at the opposite end from the entrance.

Wait, she wasn’t capped at 15? News to me.

I don’t think this method was particularly fast, just very low energy.

I figured I wasn’t going to get top 4000 so I’d just chill. My friend was up to 30 last I asked and I fear he’s going to poop bucket the boss tomorrow on his bdk.

I know Blizzard didn’t intend for that and they may roll it back for players who used it but calling it an exploit is disingenuous. Clearly they didn’t have the foresight to see it as a issue. They lack foresight on a lot of things these days. Pringles Germany promo I’m looking at you. :clown_face:

You know i am starting to think these things are done on purpose for Streamers/content creators/world first bros.

After how the ah was ruined before the expansion even started practically?
This is literally nothing compared to that.

It’s just the natural consequence of making a singular delve that is entirely within a small arena, meaning all the curios are right next to you.
