Nexus-Princess Ky'veza (The Delve on ? Difficulty) feels unfair and overtuned

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to say something about the Nexus-Princess Ky’veza fight in The Delve on ?? difficulty — this encounter feels way too hard right now. It doesn’t feel tuned for the average player at all.

The mechanics come non-stop, the damage spikes are unforgiving, and there’s barely any room for error. Even when I know the mechanics and do everything right, one mistake or bad RNG can ruin the attempt. It honestly doesn’t feel balanced or fun anymore — just frustrating.

I love a challenge, but this fight feels like it’s meant for a tiny fraction of players who have near-perfect reflexes. Not everyone plays at that level, and it’s disappointing when content like this ends up feeling inaccessible to the vast majority of players.

Please consider adjusting the difficulty or at least toning down some of the most punishing parts. This encounter could still be challenging without feeling impossible.

I feel you, I just came to write about this encounter but first looked if there is an open thread on it.
This is a platformer fight. This is not a platformer game. This fight has no place in this game.
Numerically this isn’t an engaging fight either. You can survive her forever without issue she does nothing just the abilities that are 1 mistake dead. Not even platformers are this harsh usually.
I am playing WoW, not prince of persia, Star Wars Jedi trilogy or . A hard boss in the game should challenge you how to use your knowledge of that game and not how fast you can react, face your character pixel perfect and sorry, you blinked and you don’t know which is the original, better luck next time. This is a reflex and positioning thing only. Having a seasonal achievement tied to it that’s under delves when it has nothing to do with delves, no delve is a platformer map is just plain wrong and has no place there.
Make it an MMORPG fight please instead of an even harsher than generally harsh platformers.
Well you will not change it this late into it but please for the love of Azeroth, never make a platformer fight in a not platformer game. I wanna play my character not just run around and pray Bran does not die before he needs to throw down a puddle somewhere.

It is not tuned for the average player. It makes sense.

That is like claiming Mythic Dimensious is not tuned for the average player. No DUH!

I mean… as a side note: In Midnight they are adding a CE achievement (like Mythic Raid CE, and 0.1% title in M+) to the first 1000 people that kill the boss in ??.

Just to let you know where the difficulty of that boss is intended to be.

Fights like this that rely on FPS-like aiming and reflexes, do not belong in WoW.

They reviewed especially that aspect of the fight. You can look in their direction not pixel perfect now. I just went on to test it and dinged it in 8 pulls now. The fight is still annoying and has no place in WoW in my opinion but the assassins that charge at you not being that harsh made it doable to and old person like me. Yet even after pondering over it a while I cannot name a single fight that annoyed me such as this one. I did some hard stuff over the years but this one just felt unfair before the nerf.

They need to look at red beam who kill you despite you face right. I have no words why it happens. No matter what you do and you still die. You face right what else you can do more? Nothing you cant do anything about it! I stopped doing it now due to bug! Thanks!

I wish they added more mechanic on using personal defensives more.
At the moment you literally can just have brann heal you fully without ever using a single defensive.
I personally think the mechanics are somewhat good and is compareable to doing m+ on high levels as its the same there, 1 mistake and you are dead.

The biggest gride i have with this one is if you have ANY sort of internet lag or instability, the finding nemo part will force you into just rng your choice, and if you are just about to kill her, that could feel very demoralizing.

It also doesnt help that you take a ton of armor damage when you wipe to her. There is almost no raw gold farming that could support someone who is doing her non-stop.
