Delves are nothing like advertised (they're awful)

During wrath something like 5% raided… and them raids where easy (mostly) its always been niche. So I got no idea why they keep with the raid or die stuff being the pinnacle stuff. Then again former boss was selling boosts in twitter in Mike Ybarra so Yolo lol.

Take away LFR numbers I’m betting raiders are low % WoW total numbers are smaller aswell but still.

Do Delves+ have timers?

Idk, I like Delves. I think they are fun. :person_shrugging:t2:

Because it’s nowhere near as difficult. It’s just harder than world content,

I think I was expecting more adventure/exploration in Delves…instead it’s just a small instanced thing which … yeah. :confused: Torghast at least had some mystery to it, this does not.

Brann’s a reverse handicap, not a time sink. He gets stronger over time so it gets easier week on week.

I feel the same disappointment. I was looking forward to the 10-15 minute/run solo game content finally coming. Instead we got this awful thing.

When I play as my Retribution Paladin (itlvl 588.9) delve difficulty 8, most mobs have 10+M HP, some of the (non-boss) mobs have even 28M HP. Boss has 62M HP. It takes forever to finish one delve solo before one breaks through all these damage-sponges. Booooring.

you still get experience for Brann from bountiful dvelves done without keys .

so you will get him to max level in like 2-3 weeks if you dont play alts. people with alts are already capped since Brann is account wide

Oh my sweet summer child.
Is this your first time that you got baited by blizzard?
They said the same marketing stuff about island expeditions.
You really thought they were going to give us deep and interesting zones to explore, similar to polished RPG games like in Witcher, BG3, or dragon age, with puzzles and gauntlets that you have to actually think about?
I hate to brake it to you, but blizzard is on the mindset that they want to reach as many players as they can, so they take zero risks with complicated stuff.
Which is ultimately their biggest weakness, because as a wise man once said, a game made for everyone is a game made for nobody.

Still, retail has it’s strength’s, like the raids and the gameplay, plus the community.
But don’t expect blizzard to give you any meaningful RPG elements.

Oh I know it’s possible.
I just don’t think it’s fun.

I don’t want to do 4 delves every day - or more if I’d do it on alts too.
It’s a bit much if you do them on a high tier because it’s just quite slow. Which is cool in and of its own, unlike the gogogo mentality of most endgame activities, but it does mean that it’s a considerable time investment every day just doing that one thing.

well after another nerf to brann then is less and less point in levelign him

on the other hand after yesterday its much better to just do them in full group which is amazing :slight_smile:

just got my lock to 80 - cleared WQ and evetns for keys bought 561 pieces of ah and with 550 itlv went tright to dvelves letting group carry me to success and 603 pieces :slight_smile:

That’s fine if you play for that sort of thing.
I personally don’t think that sounds fun, but then again I’m not into gearing alts.
I like to focus on my main.

I’m really surprised bliz let us farm keys in pre season. We’re supposed to be doing 5-6, maybe 7 bountiful delve chests a week maximum, not 4 a day every day for the first week.

That’s 28 603s + however many 610s you get from maps and zekvir appearances.

They stink, I think I loathe them even. Brann is a useless bum, he gets in the way, he can’t fight, can’t heal, he and that damn monkey of his pull half the room.

Well i certainly had fun when in 1 i was outdpsing 50 itlv higher spriest :stuck_out_tongue:

Guess he was half afk all run

Well, it’ll go down to a more normal number.
4 a day would be without keys and just doing it for Brann’s experience.

It will, but people won’t need anything from them besides the vault slots because they looted 28+ items in a week.

I blame the Elitests. They’re the ones who cried ‘Waaaa Delves are too easy. Uuuuuuuggh!’

Congrats Elitests, you messed up the game once again. You had to stroke your egos so hard to feel anything under there you want to ruin it for everyone else. Typical Elitests.

It was fun while it lasted, like PvP.
