I also experienced the pain of death chaining when a respawn point was right next to an elite mob in The Waterworks, however there are other ways to mitigate this without requiring additional mob kills.
I don’t think mobs should be able to aggro to the player who just revived at a respawn point. This could be addressed in numerous of ways with some examples being
Can you comment if were supposed to be able to queue as a group or not?
Delves are single player
They are 1-5 player experiences I believe. Could be bugged on Beta.
They are not actually. I was asking in terms of this current testing as the leader is the only one ported in.
" Bring Your Friends or Go Solo
Along with your NPC companion, Delves can be explored solo or with a group of up to five, with any combination of classes. And, since they take 10-15 minutes on average to complete, they’re ideal for players who want to experience a meaningful game progression without significant time commitments."
There was already a topic on delves blizzard did you need to create another one HUH? Devs should read the others too
Feedback: Fungal Folly
Did Level 5. Wasn’t too bad, my biggest point of contention with this one is the green spell effects on the green ground. They were difficult to see, especially since a lot of the ground was “raised” so the swirlies often appeared “underneath” the ground, so to speak.
Outside of that, the big shroom folks on the salamanders don’t actually do anything but patrol back and forth even if you’re pewpewing them to death.
Edit: I came back through here on level 9 and the big shroom dudes on the salamanders actually attacked me this time.
I unlocked Reno Jackson, and it currently up to “rare” level, but I cannot test with him.
Is this only for the level 80 server?
I made the mistake of hearthing in a delve (the candle one) and now I’m stuck in midair over an endless sea in Kriegval’s rest somehow haha. So, that’s probably a bug, I failed the delve and didn’t want to walk back haha.
So far I’ve done three delves: Fungal Folly at level 4, Tak-Rethan Abyss at level 5, and The Waterworks at level 6.
Of primary interest to me is whether Priest can do the delves - specifically, whether Disc Priest can do the delves. I did try Shadow for a bit in Tak-Rethan Abyss, but ended up swapping back to Discipline. I didn’t try holy.
Fungal Folly
Tak-Rethan Abyss
The Waterworks
I definitely don’t mind a challenge! I don’t mind carefully powering my way through a delve, and certainly priest is a softer class so a lot of things without properly statted gear can be “punching up.” But I’d love it if you could consider not having enemies respawn in delves. If the point of the delve is to be an instance where we have all the time we need to explore and try things, then having everything respawn seems counterintuitive to that.
I’m really hoping that these can become an interesting and fun addition to the game! I’m hoping with proper gear rather than being arbitrarily set to an item level in beta, that this won’t be as horrible. But man…that was rough on Disc and Shadow priest.
Feedback Kreivgals Rest (6):
I am standing here after 3 attempts staring at this giant Kobold on steroids.
From what I have gathered, if you stay in melee range and he gets the Ground Slam cast off, that’s what actually triggers him grabbing you and smacking you to the ground. No big deal, right? Just stay out of range (I am an evoker and all). Wrong! This mofo runs as fast as he is big! I dang near can’t keep him far away! My blue spells aren’t slowing him, hover ain’t recharging fast enough (and I am even spec’d for it to go 40% further) and this is with me using Spatial paradox.
As if that isn’t enough… I have 3.6M health at current scaling (574). If there’s a way to dodge his massive AoE firestorm ability (which, as far as i can tell from the animation is just him exploding from within and me taking damage no matter if I am 50 yards away from him), through Scales it still hits me for 2M damage!
If I get caught (and eventually it’s a fairly large if, cause quite frankly at this ilvl I do not appear to be able to chunk 28M hp within the span of 3 hovers) by ground slam, there is 0 chance to get back to full health before Firestorm smacks me (since it appears cast immediately afterwards).
I am enjoying the challenge, though. 
Edit: Unless there’s a way to slow this dude, this ain’t doable. melee’s for 250k+ (can’t stay out of range cause I can’t slow him and he frikin’ sprints). ground slam is 450k a pop (multiple hits) with a Firestorm for 2M+ right afterwards). If homie could be slowed it would be one thing… but dang, man.
Also, having to manually click the candle is asinine. If you run through the candle it should automatically pick up. It’s very frustrating trying to kite steroid bob, have my candle run out, and then get caught in a ground slam trying to pick hup something 1/8th the size of my character.
Second Edit: I swapped to Preservation since I only had 1 death. Beat it without lust. Required 42M healing lol.
Fungal Folly: Tier 4
Only real complaint here as some others mentioned is the spell effects can be difficult to see due to colorization, and also they get “hidden” under terrain which can be frustrating.
Underkeep: Tier 5
Everything seemed to work well here.
Playing as Slayer Fury Warrior. Enjoyed these two I did. I thought both boss fights were reasonably interesting. Difficulty with the scaled ilvl felt appropriate. However, as a class that has higher self healing some mobs damage output definitely felt high. Obviously only done the two Delves but wouldn’t mind seeing a bit more combat.
I was unable to complete either Delve. The pilfered chest at the end “had been looted by someone else” and clicking the Leave-O-Bot didn’t complete the delve and I didn’t get credit on the great vault track.
Maybe some of this simply isn’t implemented.
He kinda sucks? lol. I dunno, his healing potions seemed more impactful than anything else he was doing. I tried him as dps role once and healing role once.
Feedback: Earthcrawl Mines +7
Completed it (only 3 deaths, and frankly one of them was stupid). Went preservation again on the last boss after first attempt couldn’t keep up with the amount of interrupts needed and the curse ended up getting me cause Cauterizing Flame was on CD. It was easier to handle as pres cause I could heal through it while bran did his 300k dps.
All in all, tho, it wasn’t bad that one. Stuff hit hard, but it wasn’t insurmountable (at least when you can change specs lol).
Enjoying these and they seem to be a decent challenge for solo players. I’m tired of world mobs being pathetically easy and only finding challenges in group content. So I love delves so much at the moment.
I expect a lot of filtered noobs due to difficulty. That said a few things may be overtuned, for example…
In Fungal Folly there is a “cutscene” when the mushroom decay despawns.
Well I actually died during this cutscene. I’m talking like 100% to 0 health during this cutscene thingy when you lose control of your character and it shows the mushroom despawn. Yeah, there was some aoe crap around but still.
Don’t care at all about having lives, I would say if anything you should just “game over” when you run out though. Noobs gotta feel good even if they fail though I guess.
tldr difficulty good but dying during a cutscene stupid
EDIT: I discovered there is a total safe zone if you stand right in the middle of the shroom. Just stand in the middle of it and none of the aoes spawned around it can hit you.

Did up to a plus 10. The 10 was easier than the 9 cause the 9 had an insane duo boss midway.
I think they could award more than 2 crests per. Especially the higher ones take decently long.
So I saw a pretty disappointing thing that I probably should’ve seen ages ago.
Doing them on higher tiers it’s just the same layout each time?
e.g. Kriegvals Rest
You go through it with a candle you have to preserve. And you have to find a bunch of objects. I thought we were going to have different doors open, different respawn points and so on in each tier as we run around with our candle trying to find the items.
But it’s just the same layout each tier and only the mob numbers go up. I know they weren’t meant to be fully random but it’s not even different each tier?
Or is it just unfinished or something?
Delves only change daily. Layout likely doesn’t change much but the tasks/mobs inside do.
Flamethrower trap rooms, permanently locked doors, unreachable ledges, doodads that make places look similar, repair salesman, vision obscured in the dark, underwater breath bubbles you have to swim between, obscured treasure objects…
The whole thing is loaded with exploration mechanics that make no sense if it’s static.
May depend on the delve but I’m pretty sure I can even see where the lego pieces connect.
I don’t think I interpreted this whole feature wrong. There’s a repair guy I found who ran off to the meeting stone where there is already a repair.
So either the worst hand-designed dungeon I ever saw or the randomness hasn’t been turned on. I didn’t even notice I was running the same thing because of how chaotic the place is.
If no blue response I will see how it looks after daily reset I guess.
Blue please respond lol? Not turned on because of bugs or testing right?
So after doing some more delves, they are too punishing on solo dps and healers vs tanks. A tank was never threatened even in a +10 with a dps Brann. Healers and DPS have to panic every second cause your health yo-yos constantly and Brann is a weak healer.
Nightfall Sanctum was likely the worst on clarity on why some mobs were immune and thus packs couldn’t be killed.
Running out of revives and thus the delve not counting for the vault is a bad feeling. Losing out on cosmetics likely would be a punishment enough. 1 crest from a fail in particular feels super bad.
Kinda in the honeymoon phase with this because I love old school dungeon crawling. But removing the “fail” criteria would change a lot.
I want to be lost looking for wax and have my candle go out, no longer able to see or know what is in front with one life left. It changes the feeling entirely if you aren’t really able to fail. Diablo has dungeon crawling but never this level of atmosphere as it was birds eye. Just need that randomness and retailchads will be winning with this god tier new content feature.
After playing a bit more I think death count is a good compromise. Sometimes you don’t want to quit the dungeon you failed in either. So it felt good actually that I wasn’t kicked out entirely at 0 lives.
The dungeons aren’t that long and with the layout the same each time at the moment it’s pretty easy to learn even from a failed run. From what I understand the run only doesn’t count for the vault in terms of ilvl adjustment. You know how if you clear a mythic at 10 compared to 0 you get better rewards? It will count as a delve clear but only a low tier clear if it was a 0 life clear on tier 9 or whatever. Correct me if I’m wrong. It could make sense to tweak it though so a tier 9 “fail” is equal to a tier 4 clear and so on.
