Delves are by far the thing I'm most hype for in 11.0 I want them to be good so badly.

[@djbedu]

Yes, please let them be good!

[@knifetoucher]

is there pvp delves?

[@jeff230394]

But why though.

[@Tomoyo0827]

It’s just island expedition 2.0…..they are even using the same buzz words😂😂

[@jays7761]

Why? Welcome to Scenarios that were the same exact thing 4 expansions ago.

Can't wait to check out the underwater one. Always like the aesthetics for those places.

[@Dylan-ko2gj]

These look so fun can't wait to try it!

[@d.j.9739]

I'm so ready for this!

[@joshb1089]

Just waiting to see what kind of limitation they put on this. Mainly, how often can we run them.

[@ianb.6582]

Whoa. Might check these out! Neat.

[@paolo5297]

I'd like to see some delves in old continents in the future

[@MrRikkyo]

me too

[@cymrejones]

Sounds cool. So much stuff I'm looking forward to.

[@koolkat8639]

Awesome! Looking forward to the release!

[@mandiebox7945]

Curious to see what the puzzles will look like?

[@eikeksi11]

like backpeddling away from rogue facing him with staff or spellblade/offhand would be increased parry/dodge = reduced dmg if not casting or could do some instants also without losing the prot effect

[@elilawrence7166]

Cannot wait guys ❤

[@Turbotef]

Perfect gameplay for my alts (and main for fun) along with WQs/Events and some PVP. *chefs kiss*

[@hadzukyon1671]

@@borek92 idk no main english

[@brendanhill5948]

This looks awesome!

[@eikeksi11]

Could also be all stats could be on character, and items could have only armor vs different cuts, like bracers with armor value and special bonus against some weapon types when you block or are hit on bracers when you get hit

[@Sanguivore]

Y'all are absolutely on the right path with this expansion! Super excited.

[@Ghost3210]

Randomly generated endless dungeons and raids would be cool. Also Time walking events for BfA, SL and BF. Also LFR LOOT Bags for every time walking expansion... it's there during the events, but during normal time walking leveling it's only there from Vanilla to MoP.

[@seraphimdunaway8084]

This is awesome.

[@sholtoz799]

how do we get Keys to unlock more chest since they did say you do need keys for these delves mainly for the loot

[@slipknotpurity00]

They said in interviews you'd get them through world gameplay. Drops, chests, events, rares, gathering etc.

[@eikeksi11]

Could there be more info on stats like all info there is, like when hovering over mortal strike would show how much it gets from talents, str, ap, and spirit would show exact mp5/etc

[@eikeksi11]

Tanaris could have some sandworm bosses few different depending on year, maybe some tomb could be open some part of year, maybe some magical seals osmewhere and portal opens on some parts of year and having some different coordination stones it would take to different places some unkown ancient stuff

[@CozyCatte]

I'm so ready

[@mrsoommy9162]

Sounds good, im more solo player, looks like made for me 😅

[@gruuzol6280]

Noob

[@db8094]

why pay to solo? 😂

[@Nplate8648]

least toxic wow players

[@NFSCsapat]

9 yo Meta gamers, when someone just wants to enjoy the game instead of sheding blood and tears in mythic content

[@ugladden]

Yeah because most of us have lives outside of WoW now. We're not kids anymore. It's extremely hard to keep up with kids and teens who have almost unlimited hours to grind and play. Delves are pretty much designed for the original WoW players that are adulting.

[@eikeksi11]

Maybe grandmarshal could have some aura, and maybe they could also grand something for lower ranking ppl in party and everyone, paladins, shamans, priests, druids could also maybe give some special prayers / protections, every rank would have own, maybe lowest 2 dont have any for others, just personal, like scout could be faster and get buffs from higher rankings and so on, if higher rankings die, maybe could also buff party or click some bloodlust kind of thingys or protects, maybe more of em could summon some aid with cooldown, maybe winning bg/sieges could give some points to use for em, maybe those points could also open some expedition point event to go on some new location, start big siege? Could maybe randomly alert some big monsters nearby that comes try to cause chaos and drop special loot

[@eikeksi11]

Instead of dodge/parry being full 100% reduction, they could be partial resist of dmg, like you scrape off some flesh, cant crit for example, cant cause status effects, being in plate and parrying/dodging would increase chance to mitigate full dmg, casters could also have some partial spell blocks with spell defensive blade/staff shield moves or something

[@user-tw6zb7wx4j]

Fantastic content

[@eikeksi11]

All could also have all profs if leveled, and when using the equip could also very slowly get inventions to upgrade that type of gear for himself maybe unlocking some new stuff

[@serpentsaurus7969]

This might be the best feature y'all have shown off so far!

[@eikeksi11]

Like every tier 8 item could have bit extra stats and special effects from having gotten legendary, some special bigger one and bit extra stats from t1-7 epic items, maybe few special procs and gem slots etc enchant slots, could maybe have option each tier and pick one that sticks to new one available ones, like there would be 4 different t3 weapons all with different stuff that you could carry on with blacksmith and rare mats

[@realeyes7139]

When War within is released, will the summoning effects of mounts be updated?

[@ColdRampager]

Delves seem like good fun, but only concern is what's the incentive to run each delve? If there's 12 of them but they all drop the same rewards, whats to stop players from just grinding the easiest/fastest one? Or is there specific loot for each one? Also, is there any limit to how many times you can run them or do they have lockouts like raids? Maybe thats the fix is each delve can only be done once per week for loot, not sure

[@bboystyleoflove]

Probably different stuff tied to different delves

[@AngryAras]

They literally just said it will increase your vault chance to getting gear that you need. Not sure if you heard it but it's there. 🙂

[@TheQuiet94]

"What's the incentive to run each delve?" Have you tried playing video games for fun instead of an arbitrary and temporary competitive edge?

[@gollese]

Did you watch the video? After reading your comment, you seemed to have fastforward and ignored 90% of the video.

[@TagaBearClaw]

nice content! keep it up

[@Russell5630]

Looks good. What's the catch? And there WILL be one somewhere!

[@eikeksi11]

Exorcism could maybe give different debuffs, and turn undead could maybe also cause some weaken if many paladin uses it on big boss

[@voodoochild-gaming]

This is fantastic!

[@eikeksi11]

Could maybe find some ancient scrolls to empower spells for some duration or charges rarely

[@krista1238]

whats the que time like is it quick stil to get into pvps

[@siegfriednibelung]

Small question. Did you abadon archaeology profession?

[@GioFan201051]

Since Shadowlands

[@jansenart0]

If party comp is up to us, doesn't that mean we can use any Warband?

[@Spiritak]

Hopefully not another game mode that will be forgotten few weeks or months after release of the expansion. It looks good for more casual players.

[@monicagonzoles3836]

4:09 is that guy swimming while everyone else isn't cause it's in alpha or is that area underwater?

[@eikeksi11]

Rogue alchemists could do tradeable poisons from materials that can inflict poison or rare drops and hunter alcs for arrows, priests/locks could maybe study disease mobs and inflict,cure or make resists for em from materials

[@Wowmusicable]

This is great!

[@eikeksi11]

Maybe low low agi and int cant parry/block/dodge/deflect so well, maybe some extra chances with agi and int relative to opponent stats

[@Patrick_0n]

Yes and if we could do dungon runs like this it would eliminate the needs for unreliable people. Loving the sound of this.

[@hemmeligpers0n]

Looks good!

[@GGdayze]

Yay for delve

[@MorganRhysGibbons]

This looks rad. Can't wait!

[@eikeksi11]

Could player progress to like master hunter or something unlocking all skills/talents in end?

[@hammeredracoon6587]

Could alos find very rare meteor shards, maybe legendary/epic craft materials or upgrade stuff from space?

[@pathforone]

Why have some people downvoted this? There's nothing to dislike here.

[@DerLadebaIken]

So vault rewards are locked by +5 keys equivalant? You still gotta Grind m+ for best loot?

[@sergiosousa2469]

This will be the best expansion ever in history of wow

[@eikeksi11]

Could be personal loot and masterlootable/rollable stuff

[@eikeksi11]

Could there be like renew for proest and reju for shaman if character has em, it wont tick if hp is not lost and if paladin or priest heals renewed target it would bank hp and give big hits when hp lost and for reju nature heals would do same, maybe they could also have some special procs that can happen too, and maybe riptide + mage heals

[@WotsOnSecond3]

5:03 Carries are the reason for this. More demand for carries means more coin for the goblins

[@Casevil669]

Island Expeditions pog

Can we turn the +++ signs off for healing? Its really offputting.

Like guy that has rare belt of might he managed to get levels in outland and he could get from outland instances belt that upgrades hes belt some but he keeps some might bonuses, also he could get from ssc new belt but still have might bonuses and t2 and naxx, so some would be kept like extra effect slots per tier would be nice ift hey would be rarer

[@eikeksi11]

Could loot be made more interesting, like could there be some first 1000 mobs can drop something unique and resets maybe yearly, maybe noob mobs while leveling could get some leveling rares/uniques/parts of legendary that could be used later on with crafting

[@KennethKnightBlustripe]
