That delve balance hot fix was a joke right?

Not wanting to do raids or m+ doesn’t mean they don’t want something challenging to do with less than 5 players required.

Sounds like mythic7 could use some balance adjustments then, but that is besides the point on delves. While this may be a hottake I don’t think one system trivializing the reward system is a good reason to allow another. This would simply make the efforts in heroic raids feel even less valid. Not that it matters to me, I only delve and don’t do that content but I understand the concern from a logical perspective. Game designers do need to try to keep some form of progression balance otherwise it’s easy to feel like your own efforts don’t matter for much when someone else can just get it quicker in an easier path.

Which is what Tier 9+ is for and Zekvir

Just did my first grouped run. Been soloing T8s on my 3 80s. Been pretty rough going. But doable. As a 3 person group? It was almost a complete joke. Like random heroic level. Balancing is definitely way out of wack. Solo should not be that difficult, vs 3 people being that easy. And I wouldnt want solo to be THAT easy either. I think some things need to be retuned and rebalanced for solo. But just to make it more viable regardless of class and spec. But whatevers going on with group scaling, needs a severe looking at.

The point with the best rewards should still be a challenge.

Of course, depending on skill, 1-8 should all pose an appropriate challenge so people can actually work through and enjoy that progression too.

Delve or for solo player and oeople who can’t commit to group activities due to their play time and work,family.

Stop putting casual word everywhere.

It’s not meant to be super hard or reward the best loot in the game. Compared to M+ and Mythic raiding these are easy.

It’s meant to be approximately on the established reward to difficulty curve, not a significant departure above the curve.

I don’t know if they tuned it again or I’m just getting slightly better but I feel like I’m wiping a little less for tier 8s at 590 ilvl.

Why do people think that doing something by yourself should be as easy as doing something in a group where you can have a proper tank and healer and multiple DPS?

How does that make sense to anyone?

If I am in a 1 v 1 fight against someone, it’s going to be a lot easier if I bring some of my friends along with me.

Just soloed Sinkhole 8 with no deaths as a Marksman hunter @ 599 item level with wonky stats. I previously attempted this same delve twice before the re-tuning and got obliterated in seconds.

It was still harder than before, but doable. Feels fine now.

I dunno, maybe because it was specifically included to give solo players an option for some of the content and experience. Delves are for soloing.

it seems they intentionally didnt read

Turns out you can get runed crests from non-bountiful delves. Or at least, I did a repeat run of Earthcrawl with some guildies so it was bountiful for them, but it wasn’t for me…the chests were ‘green’ at the end (instead of ‘blue’ like in a bountiful delve) and one of them had a couple crests inside.

So if someone really wanted to sweat it out, I guess they can farm runed crests up to the cap each week from whatever delve’s the easiest for them to clear.

“Used” and “used effectively” are 2 very different statements.

I am glad someone here remembers that delves was both solo and group content. It was supposed to be a bite sized dungeon that you can enjoy by yourself or with friends and or family.

You’ve yet to indicate that it’s not a skill issue.

They did say that, but they didn’t say high tier delves would be.

when you have three web bolt casters hitting you come talk to me
