no
I still love doing prey and delves cause it is fun and they reward hero gear. Rituals are repetative cause it is constantly the same instance. Do I want to do that 8 times to fill my vault? No.
It's called having a new activity, not devaluation. Tf is wrong with you? New favorite word of the month, aint it?
Yeah, delves are always fast free, 100% drop champion gear. Just catching on alt to 11 level and completing it easly reward you with 1/4 gear if not more.
Not sure why they did ritual sites instead of just making two new delves. They are very similar in purpose.
Delves are still the best source of gear as a solo player for your once a month crafted myth piece But we're gonna run into rewards issues if they keep refusing to give more than hero gear for world content because m+ players will typically farm full hero gear from m+ drops while also getting to use bonus rolls and getting myth track gear from the vault
These will no longer be of any real value in 12.1 when the new season means youre back to gaining gear via delves and prey some again, this is closer to a catch-up system but with more effort involved
Ive stopped doing Prey hunting weeks ago , delves are still great and easy source of hero and myth crests , ritual sites are completely useless at this point of gear beside cosmetics.
Prey yes. Delves? No. As they will drop M crests. Atm on alts I'm going x4 t11 delves for crests+ 1 hero piece and filling in the other 4 slots w/ 4 t4 ritual sites for coins. (As my alts don't really do M+) and hero gear is enough for them. I can also toss the champion gear from delves to other alts or DE it if I don't play that armor type. Sites don't drop gear directly.The 500 currency for boxes is also a total RNG crap shoot, I've gotten the same neck from the box 3 times in a row.
Devalued?They never had much value in the first place save for in the first couple of weeks of the season as the gear they gave was just bad.With how weak the gear is from ritual sites too it just feels like totally dead on arrival content.
The only thing that made things worse is this patch. Devaluing Heroic gear to be handed out like candy. Let's get rid of all the five tiers of gear and have three. No upgrading equipment anymore since this has become lazy mode or AI doing the development. Let's have adventurer, Champion, and Mythic. Again, no upgrading gear. No more crests.Also, bring back the traps to prey hunts. Nerfing the quantity was silly. It's not like this was meaningful content, especially since the gear drop changes.
They have not.There is just to much to do at the same time.And: Prey, Delves and now the Void Assaults and Ritual Sites simply have a clear end when players don't need them anymore. Achievements, some gear perhaps, the other perks like mounts and then: moving on.Especially the Assaults will just dead in a few weeks. Not Dead on arrival but obvious just very short lived content.
The gear from these events is like wowhead's newsletter, no one wants it.people are there for the achievements/mounts and mogs
LMAO NOT EVEN. 30+ mins Horrific Visions style with pure slog vs.15 mins Delves or 10 mins ish Prey ? No, Ritual Sites are insanely awful.I just wondering why are you pushing this "content" so hard ?
Prey is still the fastest way to max out all hero track vault rewards in the open world section. Witch you probably want to do if you are running multiple alts for example.So here's how i see it.Ritual sites: Fast Voidlight Marl and gear farm with friends (mid when doing them solo).Delves: Mid gear farm, but great crest farm for solo play.Prey: Poor crest and gear source, but great if you only need like 2 more hero track activities to max the vault before reset day.
Rewarding? Really? One single random item costs 500, and you need at least 5 runs best case for a chance to get one for a slot you actually need...Ritual sites are completely useless right now...
Most of these systems seem to reward consistency more than anything else.Example given: If you've been doing your 4 prey hunts a week, I believe you SHOULD be finishing the final rank this week. By this point, I'm 90% Hero gear, with 1 mythic piece and maybe 2 Champ pieces. I am a filthy casual, so I've been very happy so far that I can get relatively decent gear that was once reserved only to high end M+ or raiders. The same Nightmare Prey hunts that were extremely challenging for me are now almost trivial now that I'm around Ilvl 272 . Again, I'm not claiming to be elite, or even good. But I'm happy with where I am.At my age and place in life, I simply don't have time or desire to commit to 3+ hour raid nights. I abhor the elitist attitude of most M+ players. Someone could make an argument that T11 Delve regulars are no better, and you'd probably make a good argument. I know many classes can solo clear a T5+8 Ritual Site. Could I? Probably. But it's much easier for me to group up and blast through it in ~25 minutes or less. I try to do 1-2 T5+8 Ritual sites and 1-2 Delves a night in about 2 hours. As long as you do what you're supposed to do - let's say your 4 Prey hunts and 8 delves a week - there's a high probability you're nearly done with both tracks. Then they don't need to be a focus anymore, unless you're chasing achievements or al the factional specifics purchases. I'm 90% done with the Zul'Aman Deep Dive stuff, and that only required maybe an hour of time. So yeah, it's all manageable unless FOMO gets the better of you.
Prey is still the fastest way for me to bang out my 3 Hero Vault slots so nah.
Not for the amount of time and efforts. If they reduced to price down to 1/10th than I can ditch Prey and Delves.
