You see people defending the delve nerfing because they can still do T8 with 605 ilvl ie they already ahve the rewards from the tier they’re doing. It doesn’t make sense.
Not true. Heroics had a 551 ilvl requirement IIRC. There definitely was a requirement. They just raised it this week for no readily apparent reason.
It still makes no sense. In DF S3 and earlier nobody did Heroics after the first week or two. There was literally no point. Now there is a point to Heroics but Normals don’t give you the gear to do them. It doesn’t make sense.
They didn’t last week. They’ve made it more difficult and that should basically never happen. The horse has already bolted. You’re just punishing anyone who isn’t a sweat.
No thanks, I’d rather complain about it, before cancelling my subscription. I don’t have enough free time to do things I don’t want to do, so I can do things I want to do at this point in my life.
you can buy darkmoon cards cheap at 577 for trinks and all other pieces you can buy cheap sub 500g 567 greens off the auction house to fill holes to make that 567 requirement it isnt that bad. I dinged a level 80 the other day spend 4k gold on the AH and que’d for heroics 5 minutes later. That and if you do a few world quests and get a pinnacle chest that will give you a 580+ piece also cant remember the exact level though i know it comes out epic
by buffed you mean theyre still second tier gear but with 2 extra levels of valorstones on them so they still cap out at the same final ilvl either way
No need. Grab the four pieces of 584 from Renown vendors, then get the two weekly pieces of 584. Then you can see what Delves give or get some WQ gear.
i do it to skip the normal dungeon grind when gearing a new toon if i don’t have boe’s to put on them once they ding max. The only toon i gear the “normal” way is this one since its my main
Okay it’s pretty lame that Blizzard makes a change completely outside the norm without any sort of communication or explanation. Dungeon gear progression has always been Normal > Heroic > Mythic. This change seems really out of touch and makes no sense. Now gear progression is Normal > craft, buy, renown, delves > Heroic > Mythic. Typically, the craft, buy, renown step is supplementary to fill in spots and help out.
Now its mandatory because you cannot get a high enough gear level from running the prior difficulty level of dungeons. Again, a progression change that makes little sense and has gone against the standard we have had for decades.
Regardless of this issue why does it feel like some players are being stubborn about very easy gear upgrades?
Players were asking for casual/solo prog and we have that now with the Weekly events, Special Assignments, Delves and Renown. You aren’t just stuck with Dungeons.
because at least 3 of those are just dailies and reputation grinds but with new words papered over them to pretend theyre totally new content and the 4th (delves) peopl;e cant decide if its progress for elite solo players or progress for casuals
Their argument is null too because I can’t even get enough valor stones to upgrade gear high enough anyway. It’s weird to me how many people just can’t wrap their head around the problem that’s going on here.
