So what happened to the Delve craze?

First month of the season everyone was clamoring how Delves killed M+, they’re superior, M+ is irrelevant now, etc, etc…

Where’d that subsection of M+ haters go now?

Delves are simply a quicker avenue of gearing alts at this point, nothing more, nothing less. They are CERTAINLY not some replacement for M+, that was a nonsense take.

Just for disclosure - I’m NOT saying M+ is perfect, far from it. In fact this season it needs major fixing/reworking. But Delves being some M+ replacement was pure fantasy.

Duh, because gear? We all know the answers and we all could see Delves are instanced world quests before Early Access even launched.

Let people have their parade.

Well if people had any foresight they would have been able to see the long term benefits of M+ compared to Delves.

Delves did give out champion track gear for Bountiful +8 ones, with the use of a key. But, the item pool was abysmal, and the overloading of poor trinkets to dominate your rewards and vault choices eventually even getting a vault option for heroic track gear lost its luster due to the high probability of you getting another junk trinket.

Crests. Crests are basically non-existent in Delves, I think you get a whopping (2) on a bountiful run. While M+ you get a boat load, especially beating the timer. Plus you have the option of running more than 4 dungeons a day. There is only 4 Bountiful Delves per day.

In the end Bountiful +8 keyed Delves did give an initial Champion track gear boost, but that is it. Higher gear pools and higher crest acquisition, makes M+ the clear winner.

What happened is I got full 619 in every slot, completed every delve achievement aside from bran hitting 60 and finished the seasonal bar thing. All that delves have left to offer me is the off chance a RNG map drops so I can get a measly 2 gilded crests.

If Blizzard made it so bounty tier 11 delves dropped gilded crests I would absolutely still be running delves each week and I’m sure many others would as well.

The people who like M+ have moved on to M+.

The people who like delves are getting their 4th and 5th alt to 619 and trying to decide who is going to be 6 and 7.

The only people that said delves killed M+ or made it irrelevant were the M+ players. “I can’t get muh 4 key to fill cuz delves!”

Delves are pretty sweet still, glad to have them. Also amused to see people get all tribal about video game content.

Fact, delves are easier at equal ilvl reward than m+. But once you reach a certain ilvl, you can literally farm hero track gear from m+ whilst delves is still limited to rare delver’s bounty and vault. It’s a no brainer.

Delve andys malded everything they had asking for mythic track gear rewards from Delves. But, when they didn’t get what they wanted, they did what everyone else did with Delves - stopped playing them.

Delve andy here.

Don’t think they should get mythic track. Still having fun in delves.

Can confirm that the above rumor is unconfirmed.

People realized delves were just worse torghast

They just can’t. To give myth track item would require similar difficulty as m+10 and mythic raid, but ability to solo them. You think they’re malding now, would have been tenfold.

That almost makes it worth it alone though.

But still unnecessary.

Boogeyman nonsense which to be expected on the forums.

As I remember it, those cries came from people complaining that their keys weren’t filling anyhow, not from people doing delves.

It was all overreaction by people that don’t think

To be honest, delves did impact m+, but only like 2-5 bracket. But you can always wonder if the delvers would have done m+ in the first place.

Yet I still see ppl listing 2-5s in LFG

Lol I’m definitely not.

Didn’t say they were inexistant.

The WoW community is entirely too reactionary. Blizzard tries something new and suddenly it’s the worst thing ever. I get the feeling that the people who post like this have a lot of frustrations in their life, and they come here and blow a small thing up into a big thing in the game.
