There would be no practical reason for Blizzard to do this. They already have different balance for solo and groups, there’s no reason for them to make changes to the solo experience in response to the group experience.
Again, “everyone” is just not going to group up for delves regardless whether it’s easier or not. There have always been a large population of players who only play the game solo, and that isn’t going to change. For these players, the group experience truly doesn’t matter. If delves change to the point where solo players cannot complete them, those players will just stop running delves (and possibly the game in general), they aren’t going to suddenly find a steady 5-man to do everything with.
This is a good start and might even be the answer for some specs. But I don’t know how you make it such that a shadow priest has a similar experience for solo content as a BM hunter. If a BM hunter’s pet becomes too squishy, it dies and the hunter loses a ton of their damage; if it is tanky, the BM hunter can safely just blast without a care in the world. How do you make a shadow priest’s experience mirror those two options for BM hunter? Or throw in a class like druid that can pop bear form on demand when things get hairy.
Again, I’m not saying it can’t be done. Nor am I saying that Blizzard shouldn’t consider it because it isn’t perfect. Just that it’s not nearly as simple as it seems on the surface.
I didn’t’ even know you could do Delves with 5 people to be honest. Me and my husband have been duoing them and been rather enjoying them.
It’s always amusing for us to get either very happy or very grumpy with brann based on AI. SOmetimes he does silly stuff other times he pulls off epic little stunts. It’s great.
IT’s so much more relaxed than even heroic dungeons. We can literally stop mid delve and go have dinner if we need to and Brann just takes a nap. Swell guy.
“These are a variety of bite-sized experiences for one to five players, that will offer endgame rewards.” Verbatim re: delves from Holly Longdale from the Blizzcon announcement of TWW.
I’m actually starting to realize these players didn’t want a “solo gearing experience” for themselves… I think you all just want a reason to exclude the types of players you decided you don’t like, in content that supposed to be “yours” somehow.
Otherwise, playing solo can get you good loot, so what’s the issue?
A ton of these posts seem entirely too personal imo.
Sure i can do it solo, but why stress doing it solo when i can easily do it with a full party? It’s faster and it’s easier and i got the same reward at the end of doing it solo lol
You just described all content that is not dungeons or raids
