Surely they cant expect us to be doing incursions over and over and over

I mean seriously. Seems like they even took out some portals so you have maximum ride to tne next incursion from nearest portal.
Then its 5 minutes of killing and riding, then porting to next portal when you ride at full pace to next incursion, blah blah blah.

OMG i just cant bring myself to do another one.

Sounds a lot like the head hunts and favors of last season…

Pit, Helltides, NM dungeons, Undercity, are a few other things you can do.

Or just take a break, and go for a walk if you are burnt out already?

not at all, you could spend 15 minutes in 1 zone, just running around killing stuff and turning in whispers. This i spend half my time on horse.

You realize the point is not that they actually feel compelled to do it, but that the new added content is pretty slim. Thing is all the other stuff is old and just as shallow.

In a seasonal game shouldn’t the seasonal content be enough to entertain for at least a week.

Blizzard know they suck, they even suggested to only do them during a whisper.

To be fair, you can crank out enough ash pretty quickly for 4 powers. You need to do the incursions to unlock those specific powers, but you can actually gain the currency doing other bosses.

you know, you can also farm bosses, right?

The mossy helltides last season had another benefit… harvesting herbs actually got you 30% of a whisper chest and it made crafting potions and elixirs much easier. Now you still have to harvest the herbs just to craft potions and elixirs. We’re back to D4 being a survival game instead of an action RPG.

And why isn’t EVERY. DAMN. INCURSION a 5 point Whisper? I’ve already seen this on Day 2… people skipping the non-Whisper incursions so I end up soloing them which is a slog and a half. Stop skimping on the mats and whisper points, Blizzard. Loosen up the spigot now.

Where are you getting the boss mats to farm them? Because the drop rate for me in Torment I is appalling… After multiple helltides I barely had enough Living Steel for one Gregoire fight. And same with Varshan… no longer is she an easy summon because you now need 12 Malignant Hearts instead of 4. Still have only 9 of the both of the keys for the new bosses and I’m p70. So farming bosses isn’t really an option, at least not yet.

Another thing… they nerfed the drop rate on the seasonal material. In the PTR no matter what level you did them at it was easy to get 400-600 in a single incursion. Now I often only get 120-200. So we have to do 3 times as many as the PTR and it’s with reduced boss powers for the players and they made the actual bosses harder. Yeah, we said the system needed adjustment… but they thru a nuke into the process when we asked for a screwdriver and WD40.

And I still haven’t seen Belial show up after a ladder boss fight. In the PTR he showed well over 70%, maybe 90%, of the time. I’m 0 for 6 on him so far this season.

They slightly adjusted the XP gain and nerfed everything else into the ground.

i did quite a lot of the incursions, solid mats for me. So far i cant complain. Today i used some boss mats so i dont end up having too many.

I get 1’s and 2’s of the mats from incursions… and since I’ve been playing HC they’re slogs even with my build basically one-shotting the bosses that show up. The game stops providing Eyes of Belial part way thru the 2nd phase so you have to basically clear the entire map to get the 2nd boss/Belial fight to start. What a pain in the rear.

i sure as hell cant talk about hardcore of course.

Well, it’s been that way since Season 0, I don’t know what else to tell You or the OP in that regard. Do the activities you like, and if there isn’t anything this season brings to you, then don’t play.

I guess there is some hope that with enough “criticism” maybe someday we might see a change.

Not to rest on our laurels as it were.

Headhunts were way better than this mess. At least there was always 2-3 going on at once.

These incursions are trash, I find a lot of the time the icon doesn’t even show on the map so I can’t find where to go. Insanely more repetitive than head hunts, at least you got different goals in each zone. This is literally whack a mole, horribly boring design.

Another reason headhunts were better, the insane amount of whispers you gained doing them, making leveling so much smoother, getting constant upgrades and exp on the side.

The dropped the ball on this season, hard.

Just don’t get your hopes up, getting angrier and angrier cause it’s not going Your way.

The Dev’s have a vision, either we play and enjoy or don’t.
