Hotfix:
In an effort to save everyone time and frustration we’ve made the following changes:
lives have been set to 1
you will be hit with a 98 million damage unavoidable spell upon entering the delve
Thank you for your patience while we work to improve the experience further
Tala and Velo in Spiral Weave are melee hitting me for 800k and casting on me for 1 million damage. I can’t heal myself through it and I’m dying through big tank CDs. The tuning in these is so whacked.
Please fix Battleground Blitz past 1000 rating not adding % towards the seasonal PVP reward.
It seems the tailoring changes went unannounced.
The tailoring profession is absolutely broken. Dawnweave / Duskweave drops are abysmal, AH has gone up more than 50X in the last week with dwindling stocks.
The only answer was from CS saying this is a dev issue.
Can we get some communication going please.
Also why are changes not going to PTR first? It feels like 2019 all over again.
I think you got a negative sign wrong somewhere in the formula — because i was playing while this went live last night in a 3-man group (2 dps, 1 heal), and mobs started melee-ing my evoker for 5 mill+ and web bolts were hitting for upwards of 8 mill from elites
So I have been only soloing t8 for last couple days. Im so glad I read the damn reviews. I log in today and Delves already take some time do solo at t8. You have to time pulls, rest, restore hp ETC. You actually have to be good at the game to complete. Today the SAME delves ive been doing at this level grinding are completely impossible. Im a frost DK and im geting one shotted at 603 gear score! Two shotted by some bosses. I switched to another toon and same issue. I thought hey I heard doing a party would be easier. Nope whole group face rolled because we pulled two groups (4 targets have you) NOT even leet! Its like the whole delves are broken and the scaling is stupid AF.

These delve changes are a complete joke, right?
Can we get any word as to why some people didn’t have their weeklies reset?
Why some people only got 2 Runed Crests total after doing 10 Bountiful Delves?
How some people got 3 Delver’s Bounties, and others, like myself, got zero?
Or the fact that some guild banks are still missing, 4 weeks later?
Why some people did 10 Bountiful Delves and didn’t get a single curio?
At 2 Runed Crests per week, you’ll be able to upgrade 9 pieces, one time each, by 2026.
Not 2025, but by 2026.
Relicblood of Zekvir not counting towards On Brand when aquired, so achievement incompleteable for me.
The September 13 delve hotfixes didn’t change anything for solo delves regarding Brann’s new behavior.
Just tested Earthcrawl Mines on a Tier 8, enemies still almost completely ignore Brann, he seems to generate almost zero threat, this is especially the case with casters, they instead will always spam their 1+ mil web bolts on you exclusively, almost no melee class will live through this.
I even tested this by LoSing behind a pillar, and low and behold, the casters just stood there for like 30 seconds, stopped casting entirely while Brann slowly killed them, and as soon as I came out from a behind the pillar they all instantly started spamming bolts on me that same second, this new targetting behavior you made on the 12th broke solo delves.
So uh… named mobs. let’s talk about that. 2.5 million damage every 2 seconds is insane while solo. I have Brann healing me and it’s still not enough ON TOP of CDs.
I’m at 602 going into a delve 10. I assure you I should be able to clear this… I should be able to clear an 11 in current gear… SOLO. i’ve killed the big daddy on ( ? ) difficulty already. So that just serves to prove that 10’s should not be that large of a step up.
Velo in The Sinkhole was meleeing me IN PLATE for 2 to 2.5 million HP a hit. then Grasping darkness hit for 8m. I guess that mechanic was something i didn’t see because of everything else going on, but still. you can’t avoid half of that when you’re about to drown because the drowning timer is sped up.
please adjust scaling properly based on player / how many people are in said delve. I enjoy soloing but that’s currently a stupid amount of damage that Brann / I can’t heal through.
It’s not worth it. The difficulty vs gear makes it so the avg player needs to outgear the content so the rewards, by the time you can earn them, won’t be anything unless you disenchant them for shards.
It goes beyond the starting 5. You can have 6 lives, for instance. So might as well pick them up along the way.
Just going to say the entire way this has been handled is poorly done. Any fixes should have happened on a tuesday after a blue post explaining what was change, why it was changing and what the thought processes behind it was.
We got presented one thing and people were enjoying it. Suddenly late at night right before a weekend you drop a horribly tuned hotfix. You deploy another hotfix a full day afterwards that so far as I can tell has done nothing.
Right now delves are horribly balanced between specs and classes. everything has the potential to 2 shot you and enemies are nothing but boring hp sponges.
Finally the lives changes does nothing but punish group play. What this? one poorly tuned ability one shots a group with no counterplay? hope you like redoing the last 15-20 minutes because you just bricked your delve.
Curse of Agony in Earthcrawl Mines from the boss is still ticking for half a million per tick. Brann can’t keep up healing and as a Demo Lock I don’t have many options.
Did you fix Brann’s health and damage output? Because these read like a joke, Brann being non-functional even in solo groupings is a massive problem that happened last night.
Post-testing: Brann does abysmal damage and folds in 3 autos from Zek’vir, you didn’t fix it. I sincerely hope you either revert the change or have folks working the weekend because the hotfix from yesterday has completely broken delves and if there was any improvement today, it is nowhere close to balancing out the mess of a fix.
how about this blizz, you roll back the delve fixes to what they were before you messed with them and work on them in the PTR and add them back in with the anniversary patch
Went in with a friend as tank + dps, tier 8, trash mobs have 50 million hp. It’s not fun, it’s just a slog at that point. We were doing earthcrawl mines and I think it would have taken us 45 minutes to complete if we had kept going.
At least my tank wasn’t getting autoattack obliterated. But, the tuning just isn’t enjoyable between the HP sponges and insane incoming damage.
You have made your delves completely suck. Thought ah nice hotfix so let’s go do a run. Did Earthcrawl on 7 to go with what our gear was. We had done it the other night and though it was a struggle it was doable. However since these last couple of hotfixes it has become harder than a 8 was. It not fun the spider webs coming back constantly and my druid tank melting like I am playing as feral or something. I had such high hopes for delves but that is fading fast. I am so disappointed that I don’t even want to play the game.
Auto Attacks are wAY TOO HIGH, 4 Million DPS on tanks, and 2 Million on DPS as a Plate wearer. It ruins the point of even playing plate in the first place. I wouldn’t complain so much if Zekthir wasn’t immune to snares or roots.
Brann being timegated is so cringeworthy I can’t even begin to explain how bad it is we aren’t allowed to farm and just get more power for ourselves since we are having issues completing content.
Please reconsider auto attack damage and armor based scaling.
