If you buff delves, wait for reset plesse

So I see threads saying delves are too easy, first I think that’s fine but whatever if they need to be harder for the gear they give that’s fine.

Just wait for Tuesday, if they get buffed with the maintenance this morning that means anyone who slammed them the first couple days is good but people who have to wait for the weekend are kind of screwed.

It’s funny, last season they were hard as heck solo but was easy as pie in a group. Then next week Blizzard did a reverse with two.

Blizzard and balancing, name a better duo. :joy:

Eh. I don’t think T11s are grossly easy. As long as you’re not overpulling you’ll get through it, but it’s still taking me around 20-25 minutes for a single run. Granted, all the stories have additional complexity now, like how you can’t carry Air Totems and such.

Problem with S1’s T11s wasn’t so much the bosses although there were certainly some tough ones, (Waxface sure comes to mind), but the trash hit like monster trucks, even after you were hitting really high gear levels, like 630+.

Realistically speaking there’s probably a small chance they’ll get touched, Blizzard has the data I assume and know the skillset of the intended audience.

Like the explosive gobs and the 3 football tackle hobgobs hurt at T11.

Yeah I think 11s are in a good spot, pulling one pack and dodging mechanics gets you through.

Overpull or ignore swirls and you get one shot that’s totally fair for an 11.

And of course as we get geared we can blow through them later in the season that’s fine too.

I’d like to judge for myself if they are too easy and I won’t be able to play them until the weekend. So in that I agree if they need buffing can we wait for Tuesday?

I’d also think it’s poor in blizz to buff something solely on a minuscule number (compared to all players) saying it’s too easy.

Finally get more details first too easy for those at what gear level? What tier of delves we talking about etc?

It’s going to be hard balancing act between too easy and too hard, I don’t envy Blizzard’s role in this. That’s why I’ll just roll with the punches, as we all want something a little different from the activity we enjoy.

I’ll just make it my mission to help others who might be struggling with s2 delves, instead of harping about how they are easy for me. :slight_smile:

Idc what they do but I do think buffing at reset is the best choice if they decide to buff delves.

I haven’t had a chance to run them yet. So I don’t know their ease or difficulty yet.

For some weird reason, I went and obsessed over the Loremaster achievement so I could get the campsite background I’ll probably never use. Burnt myself out after a week of doing every freaking side quest. LOL

But I do need to get off my butt and run those Delves… I’m not sure I like what I’ve heard about the candle/totem changes. But we’ll see.

It would be pretty terrible for Blizzard to go back on their word about tuning the delves around delve players, I agree.

Pretty much what I did during S1, I’ll put together a group and invite players so we can tackle them together and help them get gear.

Good questions, and I’ll get to try to answer from my point of view. But yes you describe the player I am talking bout perfectly, you won’t get on til this weekend so if delves are 5/10 now difficulty and they make them 8/10 today they’re still doable but harder for you which isn’t fair.

In terms of difficulty I’ve done 11s on all tank specs, with healing Brann and dps Brann. I can’t comment how it is to do as healer or dps yet as I’ll be trying those tonight or this weekend.

The unavoidable damage is decent, anything big you may have to use cooldowns for like the boss or mini bosses. Otherwise as long as you don’t pull too many mobs, and can dodge the lines/swirls you should be ok

Nope, if this was an insult it’s a trash one. Btw you clearly can’t read:

Congrats on accusing me of saying the opposite of what I said I guess.

I was agreeing with you genius. :woman_facepalming:

Dunno why you felt the need to come at me with this garbage response for.

Seems like you don’t do that at all.

Also OP got something you want to add yourself since you seem to be in agreement of the poster inaccurate take above me? Amazing how one person misunderstood what I said but two is crazy. :roll_eyes:

They adjusted delves a lot in season 1 I wouldn’t be shocked to see it happen again they’re still trying to figure what they want it seems

I won’t either, but following the PTR forums people over there were happy. Even went so far to admit it was tuned for myth raiders and high end M+ players in the T9-11 range(Which I found odd).

I’m not getting cozy with the current difficulty but I can only hope they don’t chase away delvers with whatever they got planned.

Blizzard, if you want to buff delves…don’t.

I hope they leave them alone. Because last time they tuned them horribly for a while until they finally fixed it. I couldn’t do ones a few levels below ones I was successfully soloing the one day before changes. Not even close. And forums were just like “get good”. Meanwhile the balance was just off and eventually fixed.

Yeah people just throwing out get good are always the worst. Especially in the case of delves as every class, spec, role whatever has a different difficutly with it. Not to mention with the variety of delves some stories are easier and harder, and again even easier or harder for certain specs.

For example I found that the easiest one on “undergeared alts,” in season 1 was the kidnapping one where you just have to free 10 mobs from webs that has the least trash I felt like. Also in the same delve the storyline where you can stun mobs and they blow each other up is good for undergeared or weaker characters too.

I doubt blizzard makes balance changes based on what people actually say on the forums.

More likely, a few people on the forums are pointing out things that happen to be true, and Blizz has the actual data to verify those claims. Blizz may be alerted to these facts BY people on the forums, but that seems totally unnecessary. I mean, pretty much any change Blizz makes is likely to have some person who posted on the forums about the need for that change, before the change was made. That doesn’t mean the person posting on the forums had any impact on the change.

Anyway, my take on T11s specifically is just that many people seem to be able to beat them in last season’s delve gear. For me personally, it feels like there’s already nothing really to work towards, and it’s already just grinding gear. I still haven’t had much time to figure out Underpin ??, so maybe that’s the thing to work towards… and I hope so.

Of course, the sample size of my data is very small, so I could be totally wrong about that. And even if I’m right, Blizzard may not consider this a problem. But I am pretty sure that they expect some X percent of the delver population to make Y level of progress in Z time. If that’s not working out, they’ll change things.

As a player that just returned to the game and has not even hit 80 yet, delves being one of the reasons for my return, be nice if they’re not buffed out of a new/returning players range. It’s why they have a tier system ya?
