Incursions gutted the entire game. World is so empty, no point doing other content for money or anything. Plus they're so mind numbing. Worst idea ever.

I don’t want to do incursions, I don’t want to group with 5 people, be required to have addons, have the perfect quest set up, for 25 levels!! And people keep saying “just level the old way!” And not get any rep?? Or any of the bis items that they sell?? Id literally be handicapping everyone I play with to NOT do them. It sucks. Nothing about incursions are in the spirit of classic. It killed the economy, it killed open world leveling, and it killed any motivation I have to play sod.

I don't see how they couldn't predict it would be terrible before they released it. They said "discover azeroth in a new way" then come out with something that keeps you in one area forever for the best exp and gph.

I’m on living flame and with my alt warrior man I can’t even find a zf or Mara group. In phase 1 and 2 the world was so much more alive. With incursions it just died

4:27 this was by design now we are all bored of SoD so we can go play Cata release... then we will get bored of that in time for P4 its all by design they cant bring in new players so they have to get us to jump from one server, or version to another DAILY keep us invested so we want to log in everyday this makes their numbers look higher

Off topic, but one thing I would love to see SOD donis make use of those quirky items, like a 34 pound redgill, 37 pound redgill that would eventually be used for fishing achievements later in retail, but in SOD make them an item for a new cooking recipe, or even just make them produce multiple filet of redgill when cooked. Currently, the only thing they can be used for is being held in your off-hand, which is useless. As rare as they are for drops, I do think they would be awesome ingredients for aome of the extremely rare cooking recipes. I'm sure there must be more of these kinds of items that could be used for other recipes. Undamaged Hippogryph Feathers come to mind since they are for a removed quest in game, but are still in the game. Could be a tailoring item.

I just leveled my first alt to 50 (from 40) doing incursions, so I have mixed feelings about them. On the one hand I appreciate that it was quick, profitable, and provided decent gear at the end. I did try to avoid incursions at first by leveling in the open world, but it was going so slowly the fomo took over and I switched. The part that particularly sucks in that I was in several pugged groups, all using the addon, no one talking to each other, no one helping another team member if they got attacked.. just the polar opposite of what would normally be fun 'group content' in general. You could tell everyone just wanted to be done with it asap and get on with the 'real' game. As a mage one of our better trinkets is locked behind exalted but I'm not sure I have the mental fortitude to do that honestly as the whole thing was a bit soul destroying. Honestly, if incursions hadn't been a thing at all, and we just got the Discover's Delight buff earlier, no one would have complained above leveling in the open world. There are plenty of zones to level in and pre-bis gear to collect from dungeons. As other people have said, having incursions there as a nice distraction to do 18 additional quests, once per day would have made the rep grind more time consuming, but the whole leveling to 50 experience better.

Incursions are hated because it's like having to do chores. It's why I quit retail. All the dailies, weeklies, world quests, etc. I want to play a game, not do the same thing again, and again, and again. If I'm gonna repeat something, it's gonna be farming that I can do at my own pace, with no rush to complete because I have a group depending on me. I do agree that it could have been used much better and then people likely would have enjoyed them. Like you say, put unique recipes in for us collectors, and don't make it grant experience so it's a must do, but rather reputation.

an MMO is only fun if the world is full of people doing things like questing and doing dungeons. If everyone is stuck in one little choke point doing a the same mindless thing over and over then the rest of the game suffers.

Phase 3 sucks from pretty much every angle. I did the raid 2x and realized there are no upgrades and all my pvp effort in earlier phases was invalidated. I'm staying subbed to you and a few others, but without big changes, and a return to classic-esque content, I won't be back. I will confirm the quality of phase 4 from trusted sources after it's been out a few weeks to determine. I don't think it's looking good though.

4:48 they wont do ANY of this because of the FOMO crowd... they will all complain about how they didnt get to do this... just like day 1 ROFL

Any chance at getting raid loot outside of a raid is a terrible idea, that's why mythic plus dungeons ruined the raid scene in retail.

omg crafting recipes is brilliant idea

Ever consider making a video about how frost fire bolt shares a rune slot with hot streak? Phase 2 was so much fun getting hot streak procs and instant Pyro blast. This phase feels so boring spamming ff bolt. Please blizzard move ff bolt to a different rune slot.

I'll be honest I ignored incursions because I wanted to world quest but the gear is too good to pass up at this point, even at level 50.

I think if they made incursions like legion invasions it would've better. Daily but only for a few hours and not rewarding huge amount of gold. It also encourages group play as some of the elites werent soloable unless you have crazy good gear.

If we get more incursions in phase 4 I'll probably quit the game completely and play cata

3:33 In just two months, normal players worldwide have lost over 70% of their numbers, while bot Workshop has become the largest customer in Classic WoW.

The incursion launch with the gold buff sucked but I understand they have to make it the most efficient for players to use because we are scum. The losers saying its brainless, its only brainless because you chose to run pickup only runs for 12 hours it was your choice to do it and there was nothing stopping you from questing/dungeon grinding

I’m level 42 and I’m just finding out about incursions. I thought you just leveled like normal lmao

For p4 do help fix things they need to add more WO bosses or have them drop off bosses in instances. But increase the cost of things from WO vendor. Also add in wo to buy p1,p2 runes aven dark riders. Itd help out in the world. But dont make incursions in p4.

Becaus lvl 50s are protected by pvp server rules that allows them to grief an event intended for pve blizzard took a while to realize why not make the pve event enclosed such that pvp situations don't occur or maybe why not make a warmode system for those that want to quest with pvp on From what I see the reason incursions are not fast enough is because of pvp and the experience boost is not enough to retain the common wow player

Ya I didn’t like these… did it just for rune, haven’t been back. ✌️❤️ … I’ve never been into collecting gold, I don’t get any endorphin rush from gold. Here to play a game not to see a big number at the bottom of my bag. 🤓

Repeatable! Should be once a day.

Incursions killed SOD hype so hard everyone got discouraged and felt that their time investment in the game was being taken advantage of...everyone in my guild left even the ones who made 1000 gold from it. friends list is barren no one in org 50 min que times for PVP whoever had the idea for incursions should be fired they didnt test anything..

Because it's retail bullshit in classic.

It is hated due to your first description. The new PVE event...... It's a shitshow PVP event on most servers.......

Gold with out good is trash in a market... dump on it all.

i quit at lvl 42 with the incursion meta, f SOD

Not doing incursions, brainless activity, come on Blizzard, this is so bad.

Because they created a meta for levelling and gold making, waited for exploiters to take advantage ,then nerfed it. Sod fomo is real.

as soon as i saw Blizzard recycle spells from future expansions like Blood Rush to SoD. i knew the mode was going to be trash. it never was Classic+. it was just another way to milk money from people who desire the Vanilla WoW world

Incursions and pvp events ruined sod. Incursions ruined quest world and any other activity related. Pvp events are just nonsense chaos fights with ZERO ability involved.

I don't even play SoD and i know that incursions is a lazy slap on that overwrites any of the old content. SoD failed to do what people wanted, they destroyed the old world rather than enchancing it.

Not even lvl 60 who cares.... it's mental how people are obsessed with bis and we are not even at end game yet

Remove the gold, fixed

Quit 2nd day of this phase. Incursions are to blame.

I enjoyed Incursions but holy shit repetetive af
