Will be a shame if they did reduce rewards from Delves but I can’t say that I am shocked… they are too popular after the difficulty increase in mythic+.
Reducing delve rewards is probably easier than rolling back some of the changes on lower level mythic+ and improving the rewards from mythic+ in general.
Every time we have something good in WoW
Players have been complaining that Delves have removed people from the lower M+ pools due to the gear it gives. The other issue is as said.
When they squished M+ down and made it harder that raised the skill cap and pushed some of the people that did those lower tiers out. Changing or removing rewards from Delves is not going to push people into doing lower tiers of M+. It is going push people into taking breaks from the game faster.
I could see that happening and then they swarm the forums and claim Blizz is tone deaf.
The biggest problem for me is this way of thinking.
*What’s the stated problem? M+7 and below aren’t worth doing? *
*What’s the solution? Make M+7 and below worth doing? *
How?
Make doing M+7 and below “worth it?” Absolutely NOT.
NERF DELVES
The way I see it, Delve rewards should keep going up with difficulty, and the delve difficulty should scale infinitely, just like M+. Fix Delve problems with delve solutions.
M+ problem? Solve it with an M+ solution.
Right?
People who do delves, often do them because they don’t want to do M+.
It’s okay to have two different means of getting gear, people who like M+ will do M+, people who like delves will do delves, and people who like both will likely do both.
We don’t have to have one at the expense of the other.
Yes, this walks back the idea that Delves are their own stand alone progression track. Instead it frames Delves as just another step to get into Mythic+ and/or Raiding which is sad. So it does sound tone deaf and feels like Blizzard is giving players misinformation about the content they are putting out.
They should considering the difficulty is too trivial for the awards it gives.
Yes, which was stupid.
No one is saying otherwise.
The issue is that delves are way too easy to be awarding heroic track.
I agree. I dont have time for raids, and the class I like to play isnt welcome in M+ so nerfing what I do would ruin the end game for me.
Uh what? DK is currently meta…
I’m gonna assume that most players actually feel that ‘trivial’ difficulty is more up their alley than current M+.
Yup, it’s silly that doing 9, 10 or 11 delves gives nothing more than an 8 would.
Also, for the people claiming that Delves are too easy and the rewards were too good, i wholeheartedly disagree, and i don’t think you’d be able to find a single person who geared up entirely through Delves that actually believe this nonsense.
The people that claim high level Delves are easy tend to have either not done them at all, or gear up through M+ and organized raids, then go back and stomp Delves lol
They said the class they like to play. Not everyone post on their main character.
For the content I do, 616 gear is fine. Depending on how badly Blizz nerfs delves, I may never run them again.
Nope, that would make it vastly inferior to other options, and would remove its intended status as an endgame pillar.
I am with you, delves just hit the spot for me. I do them, dabble in raid and am quite happy with TWW. Raid is a great time, so much BS being said in discord… We even manage to laugh at members silly mistakes that kill them.
EDIT: if they nerf delves, I will be done. Don’t care about M+ really.
Welp, I guess I’m canceling my sub again.
If this is true, then what was the point? How can it be a ‘progression pillar’ if it doesn’t reward at least halfway decent gear? Why have 11 difficulties if you aren’t even going to lean into the challenge aspect?
Looks like Blizzard once again comes up with a good concept with potential and then flubs it at the end.
Why? M+ got nerfed going into TWW and M+ are still doing M+
If Delves rewards get nerfed, why can’t you just continue to play delves?
