Pipe Puzzle in Delves, am I missing something?

Huh… interesting. I’ll try Holy Nova the next I see a chest, my Outlaw Rogue has no actual AoE but Cloak should counter the stun.

Thank you.

It already does. If you ever get the world quest where you fly a surfboard taking photos of celebs, you can find Batgob perched on a billboard

Think he means the achievement to solve X number of puzzles in delves. I got that one in Season 1 because most puzzles were 2 click solves, except for those stupid nerubean web puzzles, and the only season 1 power I never grabbed was the double jump mushroom which offered pathetic healinf and often jumped me in the wrong direction.

Season 2s powers are… not great. But at least they aren’t out to kill me like the mushroom was, and can maybe work sometimes

I came across one of these a couple of weeks ago and started on the left side, didn’t even hardly glance at the right, and spent like five minutes being like “How is this even possible?”

I reset it and FINALLY saw that it could be solved in one move :dracthyr_cry_animated:

But also SHHHHHHHHH. If you tell them then they’ll FIX IT.

Given the amount of QQ that flooded the forums for the other puzzles they’ve tried, do you blame them?
I mean back in BFA, people were complaining about the shell game and match puzzles being too difficult.

I hope they never ‘fix’ the slider puzzles, I get very :rage: doing them.

I got fooled by it. I thought there’s another solution for it. There is none. Just put that 1 piece down. That’s it.

I prefer the Battle Pet World Quest in 1 expansion about facing 3-Bees with enormous massive hp. I thought it was impossible to beat it toe-to-toe bringing each Bee’s HP’s to zero one by one. Then the solution to the puzzle was simple. Just bring your highest hp battle pets. When they start using their Nuke ability, Sting which they use it last, it dies right away. Then the subsequent Bees just use their Sting right away killing themselves. RoFL. You don’t kill them from your Battle Pet attacks. You kill them by just surviving all their attacks until they use their Sting ability that kills themselves. It was clever and too funny to me.

Most people don’t know this. They never play Battle Pets. RoFL.

Yes.

If you cater your game design towards fool, you get a game played only by fools.

That’s what I do with those puzzles. It’s not worth sitting there for minutes (assuming a properly functioning not-bugged puzzle) for some minor buff like an absorb shield that triggers when I’m completely safe at 50% health with a 2 minute cooldown.

I’ve been wondering that myself. It just feels like there should be more/randomized, especially since that particular buff/puzzle isn’t seen too often.

Like any of the other puzzles, just exit and start again until it’s an easy one. :wink:

The first time i encountered it i spent like 10 minutes trying to solve it because i was like trying to work it to flow up…

Man i was flabbergasted when i realized it was literally just along the bottom.

Something something Blizzard something something laying pipe. There’s a joke there somewhere, but I’ll let someone else find it.

Blizzard knew about the tariffs ahead of time and didn’t want to buy any more pipes to make other patterns.

Weren’t the delve puzzles like that last season too? The one with the yellow and purple balls was always a 1 click solution.

I used these absurdly easy puzzles to get a ton of progress on the 100x achieve expecting it to get fixed but somehow that hasn’t happened yet.

Did you know that delves don’t count toward the 10x instances per hour limit? You can go hog wild in Underkeep and get the achieve done real quick. Just keep checking the first upstairs/downstairs rooms and resetting.

Yep, literally so easy that I thought I was doing something wrong when I kept solving it in 3 seconds and it seems to literally always be the exactl same
