Delves are nothing like advertised (they're awful)

Liked them so far. I haven’t had time to do more than 5 or 6.
Will see when the season starts, but they are fine to me. I do not think torghast was better.

Have tiers 4+ unlocked yet?

No timers no no NO!They already have some pretty annoying/frustrating gimmicks…like the breath and the candle.It’s enough.No m+ in delves please.

Not commenting on the design / necessity of it. Just letting you know you can click the candle buff to drop it on the ground so you can fight near / around it without it getting smaller, then pick it back up when you’re ready to keep moving.

Thanks I already know about the candle(still annoying Imo)…any tips on the breath stuff?

this delve mode supposed to be fun even poe in complete f2p mode does better at with ’ fun '.
idk where the fun is in a completely guided tour through some mines with uninterruptable aoe fears and very little to no rewards at all.
it’s just bland, boring, painfully cringe attempt of blizzard trying to make fun content has failed because of rotten to the core mindset of developers, game designers, system designers and whatever else.
start fresh fire the whole team who did delves and let someone else who is not stuck in their ways since 6 expansions do the thing.
everytime same thing with blizzard, always maximise log in time, minimize fun as much as possible and barely give rewards.
painful to click to rescue miners just let us blast and not having to run away from mob because its casting an uninterruptible aoe fear.
just call it mini m+ already, timer is already there because all you do is look at the time you waste in the snooze delve.

Fighting near bubbles helps, but also any and all water breathing consumables, including the one you can buy in azj Kahet.

I like them, but they would probably have been better without objectives.

The fear is a circle you move out of…

yes I know that, thats not the point. It reduces uptime, can’t kick it, … why not?
stop being so bland and reduce it to " move out of " … that’s literally putting mechanics in devles that should probably be kickable just to make the content artificially harder. it has no purpose, the only challenge is ’ move and lose uptime / damage ’ or get feared.

it’s horrible design.

Ahh so nothing new.Did those.I was thinking there is something more permanent hehe.:innocent:

Because you’re supposed to move out of it.

You complaint really seems to boil down to why is there mechanics in my world content. And the answer to that is that it awards ilvl comparable to other content that has mechanics.

Exactly this. It’s okay to clear once - and then ignore it. Most of the times Bran feels useless and I’d rather not bother after it’s done. Looked way more promising then it turned out to be.

it’s so pointless to voice feedback for anything on these forums.
You don’t get it because you are stuck in ’ need to tell people to move out ’ and you will never get it even if it stares you right in the face.
It’s unfun, there it’s that simple. People like you defending the unfun make it even worse.
Adding difficulty ( via tier unlocking ) will not suddenly make it fun.

What mechanics are fun then?

hopefully they start feeling a little more rewarding at higher tiers
and i’m not talking just about gear

at the end you walk into a room with a giant pile of gold only to be able to loot 12g

I did 1 secret operation, took 5 minutes. Got 1000+ gold. I do 1 delve, took 25 minutes, got 10 gold.

They are decent for a first iteration. But the reward being capped so low for end of delve and vault is bad. It needs to be bumped up to highest M+ whenever you do highest delves as well (11). More bosses with more mechanics that can be avoided and less mechanics that are undodgable like hard ticking dots.

I dig the idea of Delves, but the implementation is just awful. It’s so boring, I just can’t. And Brann is so useless and annoying, I never liked him, but now they’re forcing him on me. At least give us the option to take different companion or no companion at all.

They are just not worth doing for anything. Low experience, low gold gain, all tiers are not out but i am going to guess mythic+ will be better for gear. There are some silly transmog but going through it with brann dealing 0 dmg is just a drag

I do however have hopes for them. If they make them more rewarding, more avoidable dmg mechanics, buff brann and add some cool title/mounts/challenge then i think they could be fun
