What are your hopes for S2 of Delves?

I love delves, and can’t wait to see what is next! What are your hopes or wish list for season 2 of Delves.

My list is as follows:

  • Selectable Companion - look I don’t hate Brann but I’d like to be able to pick from the cast of the Reliquary and Explorers league to accompany me. Let them share experience, but have different kits. It would add to the strategy of delves which companion is most useful for x delve? etc.
  • More Zeppelin parts - this one is probably a given. But I’d like to see some Goblin parts, or Gnome Parts, or Dark Iron parts etc. like parts from other inventive races. Just to customize your ship more. More colors would be poggers too.
  • Bosses that require more mechanical involvement. I don’t mean popping cooldowns, I mean make me move, make me watch for things more. I want more avoidable one shot mechanics via a Souls Like game. Popping CDs is great and all but the best bosses IMHO make me watch my surroundings and react to them.
  • A full on delvers transmog!! A cool explorers fit made for battle!

So what about you?

New types of Delves with different themes rather than kill x then boss. Maybe a bit more puzzle oriented and exploration oriented, jumping puzzle stuff with traps to avoid, and more ideas.

Maybe a bit of archaeology mixed with older dungeons that have secret side Delve entrances to them in the old world? So lore/history themed Delves?

a companion that doesnt throw your healing into areas of bad.

You’ve not timed anything higher than a +4. There’s plenty of challenging content left for you.

I hope not. I hope there’s a different mount. The dirigible is dirigibad.

I would like more tiers and higher level gear rewards.
I would like fewer environmental things to worry about. Carrying the candle and air purifier aren’t fun. They’re annoying.
Maybe some delves with alternate paths to take. Maybe one path has some challenging fights, while another has some challenging puzzles, and another has some tricky platforming.

Delves in the old world zones would be badass and I would love a reason to travel to those zones

Oh boy where to start.

  • Not sticking the warbound items on the last tier of the delves so I actually have something to send to my alts without having to break the gold bank or burn a ton of crafting resources to get them started.
  • Less trinkets than before. Ridiculous when you can get 4 or more trinkets and none of them useful, or they’re literally the same as you’ve had before.
  • MORE WEAPONS. Like seriously it’s ridiculous how long it’ll go sometimes before I see a weapon of any kind. I don’t expect it to drop a weapon every other drop, but I would like to see them at least once in awhile. Gone 20+ delves without a weapon drop at all sometimes.
  • Occasional chance to see a crest out of 8s and above.
  • Amount of XP required to advance the delve track not taking forever.
  • A way to actually target loot drops and give certain slots such as 1h or 2h weapons a higher chance to drop. Say 10% just to quantify for sake of discussion. Doesn’t guarantee it but it does help.

That’s just a few I can think of right off the top of my head. I’m sure there’s others I could think of later.

delves drop weapons?

They could always go the route of having a currency we can collect and spend at a vendor. Bad luck protection essentially. Say about 10 delves to get enough of it for a 2 hander.

First tier 8 drop for my lock was an OH. I was a bit salty because I was like I’ll never see a MH…well I got one 2 delves later. This week I got a staff.

It’s possible, you just have to believe!

In general I would prefer delves be a mechanic test rather than a gear check.

Higher gear should make it easier and faster for sure, but if I’m in decent gear and I avoid all the mechanics I want a chance to complete.

No more auto attacks for half your health, and if a channel does 40% of your health per tick we should be able to out range or line of night to avoid damage.

The second thing, and I don’t think it’s possible, would be for them to be balanced for each spec. But that is a lot of tuning, 10 delves times stories times 39 specs

We can certainly debate what the best form would be and costs, but there definitely needs to be something. Simplest way IMO is to just add an additional toggle to the loot spec. Have it so that you can pick one piece of loot that you want to give a slightly increased drop rate to, such as the weapons. A vendor like you suggest would certainly work as we’ve seen it work. Would need to be a way to avoid having to put a million different tiers on one vendor. Such as 10 tokens (hypothetical based off your number) guarantees the weapon will be as good as what you have minimum, with a decent chance at being an upgrade. Turning in say 15 tokens guarantees an upgrade.

Set rotation for the delve stories, or letting us choose the story.

For me, dont change a thing. Difficulty is fine. Gear is fine. Map layouts are fine. But fix misdirection so it works.

For others, give a tank spec on the companion.

It will be exactly the same with a new companion , maybe they will add 2 more new delves if they are adding a new zone

well, i got fate weaver on my priest in the vault, so i guess it worked out

Your attempts at profile shaming are horrendous. If youre gonna do it, do it right.

Plus this was specifically concerning delves.

As such, for solo content such as delves, id like them to be scaled up to where they present a challenge and not a mindless zerg through 20-30 ilvls below their recommended difficulty.

After clearing an 8 in a delve, open up all story options so you can pick and choose :-1:

I see a lot of “portal” like entrances, like the entrances to delves, all over the world we cant access yet. Im sure those will be future delves to go along with future story
