Horrific visions a step backwards

Horrific visions are still the same piece of crap they were. Timers (and yes it is a timer) are the worst kind of content. They will be dead in a week or two with most players and just annoy the hell out of people. This content is for the few not the many and you even have to wait another 3 weeks to fully open it up.

They are the opposite of what you do with delves, so will not hit home with the vast majority.

I will predict Blizzards response - they will make them a lot easier in the coming weeks…

Agree with this, Blizzard always “makes it better later” when it’s too late.

They’re already extremely easy at base and yes, they will be easier. The talent tree reduces sanity drain by 40% and the objective bars inside go up every time you finish a run which will unlock even stronger powers.

If my 640 alts can get to 2 masks in the first week without unlocks idk how much easier they can realistically be.

Hey man, look at the possitives. The more things Blizzard bring back from BfA, the less people can gaslight that BfA was actually good.

Too late is never too late if game is alive.And wowa gonna be Dancing undead baby if it dies! :joy:

What are you even on about? I can’t do more than 2 objectives before running out of sanity. I need 5 objectives + the boss killed to even get the first mask, so I can unlock the motorcycle.

Blizzard doesnt need to do anything as they will become a joke once you have all talents in that tree and bonuses from % thingies.

The only issue is timegate

Pretty much my experience. I just started the first one, ran around, killed a few dudes, killed some gnomes, planted 4 bombs and then ran out of sanity and died.
I don’t like horrific visions. Too bad about the helmet enchant but w/e.

I don’t get this one. As if Delves are so great for so many players? They’re close to useless, apart from 1 weekly run to get easy Crests.

Nah you must be trolling , you get three sanity orbs , you get -10% sanity drain for every area you clear , you also get 50 sanity for every elite boss you kill if you get the upgrades , gonna take you couple of runs , but barely clearing two objectives is crazy , with no masks mobs have 2 mil hp like open world mobs , i just went pulled everything and just one tap mobs , bosses also have like 15 mil hp , unless your 600ilvl then that’s another story.

BfA was good, at least from a casual point of view. The zones were amazing, the World PvP was super fun, and the content update patches were better than any since (except ZM in SL). BfA also had currency upgradable gear that wasn’t overly complex, an interesting variety of borrowed powers (much more fun than tier sets) and corrupted gear was a blast.

Of course yes the Visions we’re pretty frustrating gameplay wise. But at least was actual solo content which we didn’t get in either SL or DF.

Each objective you do adds permanent sanity reduction, and the little progress bars inside the visions one of them gives you a perk that generates insanity when you kill area bosses. The mobs have no HP at 640 you can kinda just wander through on 0 masks.

Trying to 4 and 5 masks atm, priest is very much not the class for this but I’m kinda close on 4.

For me it was good. I only hated corruption. That was horrible.

And azerite armor too. Lame passives.

Did it on my SP that I don’t even play (playing healer usually) just need to be quick, using invisibility and can use potion too if you don’t have something for skip

I like the event. But it was bugged for me first so it was pretty frustrating. I wish it was an ongoing event all the time. It’s like better version of delves

Might be an ilvl thing if you’re doing it with the character you’re posting or a DPS spec thing cause took me two tries as Blood DK with pulling everything on the first two zones and then pressing W on the next two.
Though my character is 675 so that’s that.

Yep.

I grinded for a bit; got the head enchant and the only piece of transmog I wanted (the bronze dragonscale bag) and I will never touch this horrible content again.

That’s not the part of the playerbase that delves are meant for.
It’s not meant as a ‘side or bonus endgame activity’. It’s meant as an endgame activity all on its own for those who don’t raid, do rpvp or M+.

Worth noting as well the talents are incredibly misleading as to their potency. The drain reduction does not start at 0, it starts at 50 (you get 10 for free per zone you clear for the first time. That means the first 10 takes you from 50% to 40%, which is a 20% reduction.

Next week it will be 40% to 30%, then 20, then finally 10.

Your sanity will be draining FIVE TIMES SLOWER than it was in week 1. And TEN TIMES SLOWER than it did the first time you went in.

Jokes on you, I liked Visions back then as well.

Unfortunately they sold us a faulty and falsely marketed feature in delves…

Instanced. Hardly any puzzles or treasure secrets or the like. I dont feel like they were designed with “care” or “passion”

Aren’t delves pretty boring and poorly designed for it to be fun if you don’t do anything else? It feels very cheap. Even this event feels way better… or torghast
