Delves Tuning, Sept 12th

The tuning is horrendous now. Good thing m+ comes out next week and no ones gonna care aboit delves. Good job blizz for killing their new feature. Ngl, im kinda disappointed with this. As a dps solo, t8 mobs hit for chunks of your hp at a time

By and large it is more difficult without pets or other abilities to tank to survive things, but by and largeā€¦ yeah. You are right. Folks are complaining that delves are scaled to be an endgame activity when folks donā€™t want to treat 'em as such.

Thatā€™s by and large all there is to it. Some weird scaling issues here and there but those things get sorted out, or folks learn to deal with 'em. Folks are by and large complaining just to complain.

Depends, do you think taking a 9.4m Web Shot down to about 7.5m is enough?

no i sure do not think so

Woah did they hotfix again since the 20% damage reduction? Iā€™m playing my TERRIBLE Demon Hunter alt at level 75 and just like 3 hours ago I was doing delves to level up and it was doable but super slow, I was killing at a snailā€™s pace (Both a skill+gear issue). I just took a few hours break and jumped into a Takā€™rethan right now and I am OBLITERATING the enemies.

Frick you Blizzard for fricking up Delves. One shots ppl on trash mobsā€¦ Brann is weaker than weak. Scaling is badā€¦

Hey SammyClassicSonicFan itā€™s been years, how you doing?

I love how universally mad people are about this (other than the ā€˜omg it should be hard and you just suck crowdā€™).

Delve mobs should be white hitting for hardly any damage at all, and instead, all the ā€˜skillā€™ should be frontloaded into dodging abilities, and CCing / Inting mobs properly. That way it would be a much more balanced experience for all classes. Crazy how they can make something so insanely fun as the brawlers guild as a solo experience, that was well balanced, but canā€™t do the same for an expansion staple.

Did you fix bm hunter?

Ok so instead of speculating I decided to try a Tier 8 Skittering Breach

100% harder than before when in a full group, but iā€™d say it was doable. Tank just needed to pull slowly, which he did. It was rough but seemed fine.

Then we ran into the miniboss who just tapped our tank and they died, which proceeded to murder the entire group, cooking the delve.

Once we left and rebuilt the group, we had another group that did smaller pulls, I think we avoided the miniboss like the plague because that didnā€™t happen again, and we completed the Delve.

So yeah I think theyā€™ve overtuned the minibosses because getting killed by avoidable aoe swirlies, fine. Getting tapped by the boss? Nah. But once we avoided those, the delve with smoothly.

I think most everyone agrees, solo or otherwise, the white damage isnā€™t fun and needs to be nerfed into oblivion. Put the power into the stuff you have to dodge, or interrupt.

Fix please :slight_smile: DK Blood getting poison ticks for 1.3 mill a sec

I was having to do 625k hps to keep my group alive in there against those things. It was downright stressful.

This sucks for people who didnā€™t get maps and 610 items/weapons when T8 delves were trivial. It also sucks for people who didnā€™t do 4 bountiful every day since reset and wonā€™t have 616 items in their Great Vault.

Delves in groups did need to be harder as they were really trivial, but they should probably have announced the fixes and implemented with the next weekly reset to give everyone the same chance.

Above all, this is just another example of the poor job the devs have been doing with TWW. Everything feels unfinished and unpolished. TWW in general feels uninspired and pretty much a reskin of DF (most of the systems are identical).

Communication is also at a new low.

This expansion came out about 2 months earlier than the average time for a WoW expansion. It IS unfinished and unpolished. Season 4 DF tanked in popularity extremely fast, they needed rush it out the door before people started unsubbing right before the Q3 investor report numbers were finalized.

Just did t8 WW on a 595 feral. Went to try nightfall sanctum, slapped.

Whateven is this scaling?

They hit 3x harder on tanks, if itā€™s so easy, try it yourself. Trash mobs are auto-hitting for millions now.

Which would explain a lot for the tanks i had in my delve this morning.

Again Iā€™m sure this had to be unintended, since their own patch notes stated that the damage in group delves was supposed to down, while only the health went up.

I do know what they are doing with their scaling tech. I mean, people have said other games can scale the damage to level and content just fine, but why does WoW seem to explode whenever they try?

Last night, we were 5 manning Underkeep, the run went really well until we were at the last part where you need to guy 3 dudes. Zekvir spawned while we were fighting one of those dude (which always brought the group to 20% HP with his cast), we wiped. Not a big deal, we had wipe protection, only the healer rezzed, we cleared with plenty of rez left.
Now you are telling this random BS(random boss spawning during boss fight) would have just bricked the run since that wipe would have costed us all our death counter at once? I would have just ragequit the game right there. Is that what you want, that we start hating the game?
