Delve sucks

delve the way it is sucks because of flaws and bugs that could be wiped out. but it also conceptually sucks cause

1. exploring the map isn't any fun when there's nothing interesting to discover (except for currency nodes... yay, more currency *snore*), and

2. filling the map in with your completions doesn't do anything.

as usual ggg half-assed at the concept stage, proving they don't care about the actual experience a player has. neglecting to take tried and true gameplay concepts from other game (and I don't mean only hack and slashes) has always been ggg's main sin and the millstone around poe's collective neck. delve should've been Kingdoms instead, taking the same (near)-infinite map and have you capture territories, reap daily rewards from em, build up your stronghold and duke it out with other players' kingdoms (making poe a true multiplayer game finally!) using turns you gain daily. that mode would've prevented the usual drastic dropoff of player numbers during leagues once and for all. all by using a meta-layer of game design going past the idea of getting one character as strong as possible and instead getting your kingdom as strong and expansive as possible, not for only 3-4 months but for eternity (in standard)! things could be taken to the point that only one player eventally conquers the entire world, truly winning the game. sounds a lil more interesting than delving to depth 761, no?

delve could still be some of the above but as I know ggg they will never touch it again except for fixes, calling it a finished thing instead of expanding its scope progressively (just like masters, or even the labyshit)

yesyesyes delve is shiiiiit contents.

Delve mechanics of flare and dynamite are annoying and frustrating. Also it is full of bugs. I just died standing next to a flare. Sometime nods stop loading and you have to click it again. Sometimes clicking do nothing.

Besides, Delve is not fun. Repetitive, uninteresting content.

After dying next to the flare I just Alt-F4. I think this league is over for me.

I have to a agree. Delve isn't fun at all. Flow of the game is ruined and I dont feel rewarded for killing anything or for reaching the next node. I feel like they are taking the term "loot run" way too literal because if you want any of the new stuff, you have to run around in the dark looking for side rooms, then logging out so you don't die because you ran out of flares. Rinse, repeat until u run out of azurite for flares. Then back to the surface just to get more sulphite so u can get more azurite to buy more flares to go run in the dark again. Truly boring.

I hated delve the first 50 or so levels. I'm now around depth 110 and it is much more fun. Only issue i have is you constantly have go back doing map for sulfite. Would have been nice to add or have the chance to have sulfite when opening chest.

I hope delve will stay in the core game, but with added modifiers like they did with Zana and choose between:
Azurite cavity - +15% sulphite, +50% monsters HP, +25% damage
or - +30% sulphite, +200% monsters HP, +100% damage
or - +0% sulphite, +0% monsters HP

Adding cartographers for delve would have been nice too.

My biggest Problem with Delve up until now is that it massively decreases your choices to build your character. And this is a major problem!
Some builds (like flicker strike for example) just have a bad time during delves or are just impossible to play. My latest experience with this was a lvl 40 bowie getting instantly rushed by about 30-40 bone rhoa after starting an encounter. Some builds just wont have a chance to survive those encounters, especially early in the game.

tbh im just sick of seeing the pop up every 30 sec of so and so has hit lvl 810 when they got like probly 20 people working for them and i gotta go grind and get all the stuff my self. Please give the the option of turning off seeing what the people that get everything handed to them for free's progression, it just makes me sick.

other than i love delve just wish i didnt have to spend so much time outside of it

Gotta admit, i'm starting to like delve.

If at least for nothing else than to provide more variety. Maybe it's just that i am tired of normal game but at least so far seeing what's in delve is interesting and rewards are pretty good.

Most bad thing in delve it farming sulphite in quarry! after do some usually achives in atlas ur end part of do 36 achives go to farming quarry all ur time bcz it faster and economy ur time! such a feeling that GGG not see or do not want to change this part, after killing some endgame bosses ur endgame grinding goin to story location...
Maybe next league we have new nice story location to farming in month fetid pool or something?

Re-rolled today but lost all enthusiasm when I realized mine progress is back to zero. Dear god what a terrible design.
