Improving Delve Rewards and Endgame Scaling
|
ZHP Mentioned! To this day, I still don't understand what the problem with it was. Skill expression is cool in every game. Even half these changes would make the mechanic so much better, namely the reward scaling and difficulty scaling. It should be really hard but just as rewarding. It doesnt have to reach pre-nerf t17s or 8mod all 17mod 16.5s to appease the delve enjoyers.

" pre-nerf t17 and 10 mod t17/16.5 don't even hold a candle to the difficulty of deep delve, in terms of build requirement. Somewhere in the range of depth 20,000 or so, a random white cave weta has the same ehp as uber searing exarch (including the 70% less damage taken buff uber bosses get), and its basic melee attack hits for somewhere around half of the damage of uber exarch's incineration blast, but as physical damage. Tack on to that that by the time you hit even as shallow as depth 1000 or so, every biome has at least 6 regular map mods, so on top of the massive amount of extra damage that comes from that, you also have to tick off all the regular boxes of reflect protection, survival in no leach, survival in no regen, survival in reduced recovery, and able to survive a literal swarm of uber boss equivalent monsters before even thinking about blue yellow or gold ones. And then remember that the depth cap is 65,565. I'm not saying nerf it or anything, I think the difficulty scaling is actually fine. I'm just saying it already is harder than everything you've mentioned, and I think thats great. |

Please don't draw their attention to delve. I actually enjoy delving, and they'll only ruin it with poe2-style bullshit, like they just did with breach.
Aside from some of the long overdue QoL changes we've gotten since then, the game's been primarily going downhill since 3.17; and if you don't count the huge upgrade to the way endgame works that came with 3.17, it's been downhill since 3.14. Fairgraves was a slave trafficker specialized in the kidnapping and transport of children. He was not "a good man".
