Last night, I had a great fun time with Delves. They were a challenge but not too difficult I felt like I couldn’t do it. I enjoyed it very much.
Then there was a hot fix ? Now I am unable to do it in any group size- I am unable to do it alone, I am unable to do it as Tank/DPS/Healer , even if I am putting in every ounce of effort.
I’m not upset, I just feel like things are better seen when presented on the forums. So I’m adding my voice to state that I enjoyed Delves prior to the Hot Fix – And as of today (Sept 13) They are now unplayable for me.
Furthermore I was very excited that Delves were going to be away to indepdently get gear without a pressure of other ppl rushing you. For example, I always want to do the Zekvir bonus objective for my Seasonal progress - but if anyone else is in the group they skip around it everytime even if I ask for help.
In conclusion, I am not angry or complaining. I am hoping + Seeking that Hotfix will be re-examined , and that Delves can be done independently.
They were a challenge when the mobs in group content had less hp than when solo? I don’t think it was Blizz’s plan to have everyone strolling through the top gear tier on easy mode, especially in the first week of the launch.
Solo play was not changed in the hotfix, only group play and rightly so.
It was never intended to “form group, blast content in 2 mins, get i619 gear in vault.”
If that’s what you found fun, sorry, Blizzard wanted you to actually put in some effort for that gear.
The content is soloable.
There is a recommended gear score for every tier in Delves… i was able to solo T8 multiple times over in my DPS spec under the recommended gear score (i was i588 when i solo’d my first T8).
And i suck… no, seriously… my guild didn’t want me to raid with them anymore cuz they said i didn’t Dps enough… and i can solo a T8 under the gear requirement without using groups or tank spec.
If i can solo it, you can solo it… if you can’t solo a T8 you’re either way undergeared or you suck more than me (and im a baddie casual).
this is not true, now there are zevkir generals or rares in the dungeons now, as a 594 BM hunter I could not damage any of them in any meaningful way before being 1 shot, before this change I Could at least get to the boss of the delve but now its just not possible, and forget in a group, we got to one of zevkirs generals , a giant spider, we had a healer a tank 3 dps and dps brann the spider pulled us all in and insta killed us and took all 5 of our lives in one shot.
I get where youre coming from… But I do respectable dmg (Not the best, of course, but enough to exsist)
I use defensives, I use interrupts, stuns, CCs, Slow, I utilize Brann, I stealth where I need to and skip what I can… But for example “The Dread Pit” Just ripped me in half. I managed to sneak around the worst enemies to get all Kobolds but upon reaching the last boss, I could only get the guy to about 89% before I died.
As I said above I ADORE !!! A challenge. I would not enjoy the game without a challenge. I love when content makes me need to use ALL my buttons.
But this just is too much – When I get instantly clapped with no chance? Its too much. My friends are also reporting the same issues.
Again, I’m not mad or freaking out. I never post on the forums cuz I don’t want to get flamed. But I know that the Forums if the best opportunity for PERHAPS Blizzard to see me.
Read the patch notes… they didn’t touch solo play, only groups… and groups were literally kindergarten level difficulty and NEVER intended to be that easy.
Read my previous post in this thread… im a casual baddie and i can solo T8 under the gear requirement… they only nerfed group play and rightly so.
Hell, im jealous of Hunters, they got it easy on Delves… if you can’t solo a delve you’re either way undergeared or doing something terribly wrong.
Well, im clearing T8 solo without losing any lives… and my AotC Heroic Raiding guild uninvited me to guild raids for hogging the last in DPS slot (hey, somebody has to be there, right?).
You must be doing something wrong… either standing in bad or missing a key interrupt (its not just using interrupts, its knowing which particular thing to interrupt that matters). Or perhaps pulling too much at once.
Take your time… one of the things i love above Delves… no time limit, and no morons charging ahead in go, go, go mode pulling everything at once (and we won’t talk about Brann).
I cleared a T8 Delve after the hotfix and literally noticed no difference in difficulty. I don’t rush while in there… i think everyone is just in too big a hurry.
