Let's talk about delves!

They all suck. End of conversation.

It’s not odd at all.

Delves are good because solo players should have some enjoyable content. I don’t do delves unless I have too.

However they are far too easy to offer the rewards they offer. They aren’t hard enough to award heroic gear. Which means the rewards need nerfed or the content needs to be harder.

Delves are way too easy to award heroic gear.

Not at all. I just think rewards should be equal based on the contents difficulty.

I’d rather see delves be harder

Evidently that’s coming next patch, with a bit more borrowed power like the Circlet from Siren Isle in the form of a belt.

If you don’t do Delves unless you have to then that means you don’t enjoy them. Why do you even care what rewards they give to people who do like them? Are you mad I got my mythic tier tmog solely by Delving?

I don’t. I can find them boring. But I can not like something and still think it’s good for the game.

I think rewards should be equally difficult across all content. I think you being able to get mythic level gear from easy content like delves is bad for the game.

Underwater and totem/candle ones are trash, immho.
I like to relax when I play and, to me, they aren’t relaxing.

Best: Dread Pit. Spacious but objective and all stories are pretty nice.
I don’t like the new Web Shooter spider bats though.

Worst: I really dislike the underwater ones.
They are also very long. Or at least feel that way.

But they’re really all now meh now, not enough variety.
A few roguelite elements or procedural generated delves would go a looong way.
Adding affixes is really not the way to go here IMO, but we’ll see…

My actual favorite “delve” is Torghast.

Get exalted with the WotLK walruses, buy the fishing pole that grants breathing underwater and never worry about it again. With the new way of crafting, it’s always “equipped” but not actually in your primary weapon spot.

I disagree. If Delves didn’t offer the gearing paths they do, I wouldn’t be subbed to WoW right now because I’m not interested in M+ or Raiding. I feel with Blizzard improving Delves and leaning into them like they are, that their internal numbers show I’m not the only one with this sentiment. So I feel Delves and the gear they give are VERY good for Blizzard’s numbers.

So you’re entitled to gear then.

Like I said if delves were to continue dropping the gear they’ are then they need their difficulty bumped up substantially.

lol. Blizzard is over rewarding delves because their numbers have been terrible.

The fact they nerfed delves into the ground and then over buffed the rewards shows how bad the numbers are.

I’m convinced they actively programmed him to be THE hunter stereotype. Personal fave is still him dumping his gryphon Uber skill on like, a random rat I aggrod.

Streetside Sluice is probably one of my favourites because of how significant the affixes change it up.

I think Nightfall Sanctum is my least favourite. I play slow classes so the run sucks. It is a bit better when it’s the cannon story.

Fungal Folly is my fav. I still dislike all the underwater ones.

Ahhhh, so now you make sense: “Delves are threatening my superiority because the casuals with grass stains on their hands have access to MY shinies. MY SHINIES. How dare they have fun gearing up the way they want and getting cool mythic transmog at the same time?!”

I don’t mind most of them.

The only one I really dislike is the one where you have to keep throwing candles down to light the way.

Are obtuse on purpose?

I don’t care if people get access to the gear. I just think the difficulty should be close.

Delves are literally a 2 on a 10 scale difficulty scale.

Its not difficulty is not comparable to its reward which is what I’m asking for. Either by nerfing rewards or buff the difficultly.

This is clearly your first mmorpg.

This genre has always had reward is based on difficulty not getting good gear from easy content.

I guess stay mad then. Conversation terminated.

I’m not mad at all rofl. I can have an opinion that delves need changes without being mad.

lol can’t handle facts I see.

I enjoy them all. They are my favorite part of the game right now. That said, I probably like Nightfall Sanctum, Earthcrawl Mines, and Sidestreet Sluice the best.

But:

I get what they are going for with it being so dark. But it’s too dark. I don’t like that I can’t see hardly anything.

I also don’t care for ES9 despite that it’s generally quick. But the purple/pink color scheme with the purple/pink mobs mean I sometimes walk into mobs I could have skipped if I had seen them. Plus, I hate the one story with the drill. It just takes longer than I would like.
