As with any new expansion cycle in World of Warcraft, there is an abundance of new content for players to engage with and discover. One of the most notable additions in The War Within has garnered substantial acclaim for its impact on solo players.
In a post on Reddit, one user expressed their enthusiasm for the new Delves feature, describing them as a “godsend” for players who enjoy solo gameplay.

During the initial weeks, the developers faced several challenges with Delves, including flawed scaling that caused some players to experience excessive difficulty compared to their grouped counterparts. Moreover, a bug occasionally granted the player companion Brann overwhelming power, thereby diminishing the challenge for some.
Since addressing these early issues, Blizzard has managed to stabilize the experience, and player feedback suggests a growing appreciation for the Delves feature.
“The most magical part for me is the simple fact that I can literally take my hands off the keyboard at any time between fights and walk away without any problems. I almost want to cry. It is just so freeing,” one player stated.
“I can pause to adjust a Weak Aura or revisit a talent tooltip, and I’m not wasting anyone’s time. It’s like actually playing a game instead of undergoing a stress test. Not to mention, I can leisurely explore or appreciate the scenery if I choose! I didn’t realize what I was missing until I experienced it in Delves.”
In a gaming environment filled with timers, DPS checks, and pressure to rush, it’s clear that Delves have introduced a distinctly different experience. Furthermore, pursuing Delves is pragmatic, as they yield some of the top-tier gear available in the game.
“For the first time in I don’t know how many years, I can consistently and reliably acquire normal raid-level gear along with some additional heroic level pieces through higher-tier solo content. Content I can complete at my own pace. I can die, retry, die, retry, mess up, try again, and continue without inconveniencing anyone but myself – and it feels fantastic,” another player added.
With a total of 14 difficulty tiers to explore, there’s more than enough to keep even the most skilled players engaged for the foreseeable future. While no official updates from the developers regarding the future of Delves have been announced, they are expected to remain a significant aspect throughout The War Within.
