I did 7 as well and didn’t unlock the first reward. But then I did some low level ones to get the hidden chest achievements and I saw that the quest had completed during one of them. So it seems every delve will give you progression. Doesn’t seem like something to force though because it would be tedious for the rewards.

Which one did you struggle in?
I really don’t think this should be an issue because certain classes have always been better at soloing things. Not every class has to be good at every single thing in the game. It would probably make all of the classes really bland if the producers tried to do that.
Also, leveling is faster than ever before, so if soloing delves is something that is really important to you, it shouldn’t take too much effort to level up a class that is better suited to that particular activity.
Pretty much the fastest way to gear up right now in week 1 is the Delves though to be fair. I think every class that had to slog through Torghast is probably going to struggle in Delves.
The potential issue is that some folks don’t play the game as though they’re ‘every class at the same time’ by using alts. If one class struggles but they want to play that class because it’s their favorite, it’s not really a solution to ‘just do it with something else’.

I understand what you mean, and I certainly sympathize, but expectations should be more realistic. If someone was upset that a rogue couldn’t heal others, for example, that would be silly. Just like healer specs can’t really solo well at all. Trying to fit a square peg into a circular hole is never going to go well.
This is part and parcel for an MMO. And this is true of not only all “solo” content ever added to game, but all content in general. Perfect balance is not reasonably feasible, nor desirable, not without removing gear, and all classes except one–then it boils down to only player skill and ability, and trust me, you don’t want it boil down to only player skill.

3 Cloaks and 2 gloves so far. Just burning the keys. The guy in my grp the other day was at 5 trinkets straight. LoL
I cannot beat the dread pit on 7 and I was running through 7’s and 8 just fine yesterday. I don’t get balancing on different delves.

As of today, they aren’t solo content, they are free gear for grouping content.
Make a group, invite a few others, complete a bunch faster and easier, collect free loot.
Why?
Because Blizzard still can’t figure out how to scale anything dynamically - so enemy HP and damage barely scale up with extra players, but extra players scale up with damage done and abilities to counter mechanics (which are lol bad as far as mechanics as it’s like 99% interrupt as the only mechanic to counter).

The spinning fire in the kobold area. I do not have super graphics and that killed me several times as I got the “feel” for where the hit box actually is vs what is shown on my screen.

Are people really expecting tier 8 delves to be free on the first week? they award heroic level vault gear therefore they should be difficult. They are hard yes but with brann healing and paying attention to the dwarven elixir drops I have been doing them since 589 ilvl without too much issue on my arms warrior.

If you’re having trouble, you can always turn the tier down. You don’t have to prove anything by doing the highest solo if you can’t, it’s solo.

But I’m a Tower Ranger I have a reputation to uphold!
Delves should be SOLO only. If people want to do group content you can just do M+. Wasn’t that the idea behind Delves ?? Blizzard ??
Is there a reason why you want to shoehorn players? Do you like that when it happens to you?
I thought it was supposed to be a challenging end game pillar for solo players

I’m loving delves personally, ran a bunch of T8s yesterday. I also don’t mind if it takes time and need instant gratification though.
I would not expect free. The difficulty was reasonable up until the one boss uninterruptible massive bug swarm that had damage vastly outpacing anything in the rest of the delve. No place to stand that was safe visible (like you expect from a boss with a “storm” channel.
