Heya guys!
Something we speak very little is the current work on the Delves. I guess in comparison to the Undaunted Dailies, The Champion System, the Imperial City it may seems a bit small, but I do believe that it is actually a very important improvement.
Delves were a very important part of the Elder Scrolls games, and stumbling on a dungeon while exploring was an excitting adventure that could turn you away from what you were doing for hours! You would never know if you had find a small cave or a giant labyrinth.
The Delves in ESO were only a mere shadow of what they could have been at release, you added that the bot issue (that had been resolved fast), and it wasn't even something worth your time. And that was sad, because they were so much potential in those delves.
The job Zenimax is currently doing on the Delves is great! Now each delves feel different. Not every mines, breton fortress or dwemer ruins will looks alike. Each delves have its own personality, its own story, and a different geography! For the new players, and for the players that will make alts, it will be a great discovery and they will be happy about this change!
Do not forget to go test them in the PTS! Here you can see a video of one of my trip in a revamped delve in Alikir.

kimboh✭✭✭✭I think the updated delves are a great idea, the problem is that I've already cleared them all and there is no incentive to go back.
I welcome the new Dwemer style as is gives me a valid reason to return to some of these delves and enjoy the updated content.Status: offline<l Cygnus X|VR14|Sorc l><| Romulus Prime|VR12|Temp |><| Qwoptus |lvl30|DK|><| DC|EU |>0 -

✭✭✭This is one of those things that I was happy to see they were working on. I'm looking forward to being able to run through the new delves. (And I'm not watching the video because I don't want it spoiled.)
Some of my favorite memories are of running through the old Dwemer ruins (in TES III Morrowind) with unpronounceable names (Nchuleftingth anyone?) and being scared witless by all the creepy clanking noises.Edited by Tabbycat on October 24, 2014 11:57AMFounder and Co-GM of The Psijic Order Guild (NA)

✭✭✭✭✭I love the updated delves. My alt is currently going through the Rift and I'm having fun checking out the changes since my main was there. I also have looked at a couple of the new ones in Coldharbour.
When my main gets to Bangkorai, I will have fun exploring the delves there too. :-)The Moot Councillor0
