I love the story, new zones and levelling experience.
That being said, delves are BY FAR the worst feature of the new expansion. They are very unfun, and I fail to see how they will attract the players who don’t like to do instanced content or whoever it is targeted at.
I just did one that said Bountiful, I suffered half an hour of hell playing through it dealing with all unfun mechanics such as using the flamethrower on the cobwebs and all, and in the end it gave me 52g, no gear, some random stuff I don’t need such as grey items, and the biggest chest said “locked”. Horrible gameplay experience. Never stepping in a delve again
If delves survive into the next expansion I’d be shocked.
I’m in agreement these delves are terrible and very unfun which is sad as I was looking forward to them. Some of the design choices like who approved that one with the instantly and constantly respawning fungus that detonates and blows you away, they should be gone after you destroy them once instead.
My expectation was I’d be plowing through hordes of weak enemies like a god and looting gold in the end, it turned out delves are based around these unfun “mechanics” that push you or spawn spiders to slow you and such.
I don’t care what rewards they tie to delves, they are just unfun
I don’t assume that if I don’t like them, nobody else would, I just fail to see what aspects of delves people would find fun. Care to elaborate in case you do like them?
As a non PVE player who hates questing, world quest or anything PVE other than keys.
I have already done 2 Tier 3 Delves which give bonus loot. I even used both my coffer key when I shouldn’t have.
Delves are extremely fun that I can do. It has basic mechanics in which even Bran says don’t do this don’t do that.
I have also earned my first Delves not which I am looking forwards too.
Delves is going to be my main wind-down game mode. It is chill, it is fun with good music and visualization.
It requires you to do a basic quest. Like kill 10 spiders and then sends you to boss. Which is perfect. 15 to 20 min you are done.
And best part you may get a pc of gear if you use your key.
Not sure why you don’t like it. If you are a Pve player then you should like it ?
What change would you suggest.
I will go first - if they make it harder. I will be out of because I am there only for mog and pcs that may be useful. It is not high end content so I should not be working hard there.
I would like to see more goodies like what they had in Torghast and titles.
I’m mainly a PVP player too, but I thought I could do some low PVE content in the dead week for fun and take it easy.
I was expecting something fun and even slightly rewarding in terms of gold and green/blue gear, kind of like a training dummy experience instance. Instead, I got to do unfun mechanics and it felt like these gimmicky “scenarios” at the end of long quest chains where you just can’t wait for the final stage to end so you can move on.
So it’s not that it’s not fun, you just don’t like RPG content. Why not say that?
I have enjoyed every delve I’ve done. Why would I want them to be just another quest grind or dungeon? If you want the same old nonsense then just go do the same old nonsense. These new mechanics and activities are exactly what the game needs for fun.
I absolutely love the delves cant wait to try the higher level challenges! I get some people wont enjoy them because they are way to hard for them but thats okay not everything is for everyone.
I was enjoying them although the gimmick that makes each one difficult was annoying, until I got the underwater ones. I already have issues underwater but in tight spaces its downright claustrophobic. Add in the drowning and chasing bubbles to stay alive and it’s so awful I won’t be going into them again for any reason! One even had the end boss with the bubbles not properly spawning so I had to beat my breath meter.
Who decided such a traumatic experience of drowning in caves would make good gameplay?
