Adjustments to Delve Great Vault Credit Incoming - 9 October

With the weekly reset in each region, we’re making the following adjustments to the Great Vault’s unlocks from Delves:

  • Zekvir’s Lair no longer rewards Great Vault credit.
  • Addressed an issue with Special Assignment World Quests rewarding additional Great Vault credit.

With the first change, we’re ending the impulse to fill up the Great Vault bottom row via only quick Zekvir runs, and the second change was a bug and was not intended.

If players truly enjoy Delves, no one will complain about this change.

Let’s see.

I see they liek to fix fun and easy stuff to do

Look how fast they “fix” thing we like. But the actual critical problems take ages or stay utouched/ignored.

It`s normal Blizzard way of taking things we like from game.

Well I love delves and had no idea Zekvir contributed to the Vault :dracthyr_hehe_animated:

I’m sure some will complain. People generally like to do things quickly. And Zekvir farming could be quick if you’re good enough.

Blizzard is clearly unhappy with the upset around m+ driving people here. Instead of fixing m+ this is what is happening. Genius.

Maybe make bountiful delves drop more crests than just 2, make tier 11 drop gilded and people will be happier to do 8 of them per week.

Terrible change.

Delves are “ok” but they’ve outlived their usefulness for gear except the GV reward. So for me killing zek’vir was a quick way to fill the vault.

I’m not sure why designing the “impulse” to fill the GV in a way that was quick and easy out of the game needed to take place.

I was actually hoping this thread was going to move M track gear to 9 and tweak gilded crests so they come in at +8. Seems you’re on a different wavelength to the players - as usual.

How soon can you start fixing things that matter, such as half of the Curios which do not scale properly with rank or function at all? Also the mobs are falling through the floor in at least three of your delves; Underkeep, Sinkhole and Waterworks. This prevents achieving the % count or when it happens to Zekvir affected packs decreases overall rewards because you cannot fully clear them.

I have a feeling that having myth track gear locked behind both Forti & Tyran was intentional, they wanted to gatekeep it this season (for what reason though is unclear, maybe to preserve the equivalence to mythic raid? Though it’s not like Mythic first couple bosses are ever hard).

I’d be down to move crests to 8 though, at least that way when 9 keys end in shambles on occasion, the 8 isn’t just fodder.

The thing I find most disappointing about this is the literal admission they don’t like us doing things at a pace we enjoy, with the impulse comment.

They gambled that it’d extend the useful lifespan of the content. Instead it’s created this weird division in the player base observed in the other m+ threads

Full disclosure, I don’t support this change, I raid log and do the absolute minimum to stay relevant.

However, I think the purpose of this change was simply because Zekvir on ? could be downed in 2 minutes flat, typically a delve is a 10 minute experience, they wanted the vault slot to represent the time commitment, similar to a 5 key, or a couple heroic bosses.

It’s just an content equality change, maybe if it was equivalent to champion track, then it’d be left alone.

I enjoy them more than M+7, which is all that matters :dracthyr_sweat:
