If there is only one thing you read, I want it to be thank you for all your work Blizzard to help bring a solo activity to players who wanted something more.
For the last several expansions I have watched friends slowly drift off as we have moved servers, changed factions, and gone from PVP to PVE to Raiding to RP ect guilds, now very few of us play together as we are in different countries with kids of our own playing the game. However there are days that we missed just logging on with 1-3 people and being able to do something challenging, last expansion it was the hard mode mega dungeon, but this expansion it has been delves.
- We don’t have the annoying timer of mythic + to worry about, if someone needs to go take care of a kid, get something to drink, we want to wander off and look at something else, we can.
- The difficulty can be what it needs to be, my husband thinks delves level 4 are the hardest his boomkin needs, he can solo them and stand in things and go flying around and still have a good time. For me and another friend doing level 8 and above is fun, were not skilled enough to kill the big bad boss yet this season, but we will get there and we are enjoying the trip. Plus chasing the achievement’s is a blast. Having that freedom to decide what you want to do and the challenge you want to do it can be a lot of fun.
- Once you understand delves you can do one in about 10-15 minutes, you can come home after work and enjoy one, it doesn’t have to be hours, but the game can be what you want it to be, and yes the rewards from level 8+ are very nice, but day one I couldn’t get there, and still some of our friends can’t either. Everyone’s skill is different and thats ok - the days now when if you do something different players can not be the nicest. So its fun to run a spec thats not the best, let your build be what YOU want it to be. Not an online guide - and then still enjoy solo content and feel you can get the great gear that others can too.
- It took a game that we played a little bit a week and didn’t know what to do other than some crafting orders or the next patch instead to a game, I want to log into - to get that delve done so I can work towards doing eight in a week, so I can try to get that meta achievement by the end of the season. So I can enchant/gem/flask and get ready to fight my big raid boss of the season…this zekvir…Thank you for taking a game that I have loyally played since launch and adding a heck of a lot of fun back into it.
When a lot of times the only thing that you can hear is the complaints, I wanted to stop (ironically in the middle of fungal folly…level 9) to send this message, because you have given something to the player base that is as big as pet battles or mythic plus. Not everyone will like it, some will hate it, but for me and for several of my friends and co-workers its just what we needed.
So Thank You.
