Because of off-server raid groups, good job! Increased rewards won’t matter if you can’t do any content, just remove the rewards so it’s 100% optional and griefers can just grief each other all day since that’s all wpvp is anymore.
Now have to complete an additional 5 or more Incursions, since I’m getting 30% less xp and this content benefits the MOST from the 30% bonus as you can only do it once every 18 hours.
Warmode would be optional, and toggling it off would be fine if there was not tied to rewards. Bye!
Until ALL warmode buffs, benefits are removed; disabling warmode is not an option.
The bonus xp is a bonus to compensate you for the time lost that comes with dieing in pvp. If you are leving in warmode specifically doing incursions you should know you are a target. You need to go into a pvp incursion with the desire to pvp, it is not a pve activity. Its a pvp environment with pve onjectives. If you are not enjoying yourself then turn it off, you a re playing a game.
No it’s clearly an enticement to get people not interested in pvp to do it, sorry. Most people in warmodes currently, are not interested in PvP. Hence doing WQs with warmode on is a thing! Neat huh.
As someone who has been in WM since pre-patch, I’d argue it’s the most balanced it has been since 8.1. I have done most of the incursions, on both factions. In fact I just leveled up my DK from 110 - 120 since 8.1, and a big chunk was through incursions.
For example, I did all 3 incursions this morning in less than an hour (1 ally, 2 horde). Do I get zerg’d and have to do corpse runs? Sure. But to say “literally cannot do incursions” is absurd. They last 6 hours. No way are you consistently seeing 6 hour raids camping every incursion, every time. It’s simply not happening.
Ok, so it happened for one incursion on this shard you were on at the time. How much of the 6 hours did you truly spend trying to finish? Did you really spend all 6 hours, or did you spend 30 mins and gave up after getting zerg’d several times? Did you try to complete it with less than an hour left, and just had bad luck?
I’ve done plenty of corpse runs on both sides, and I haven’t had any issues finishing a single one. Most of the time I goof off for the WPVP, so it takes longer than it should. This morning I logged on with less than an hour left, and banged out 3 of them quickly.
My point being, one bad incursion for you hardly means they can’t be done, and Blizz should somehow intervene.
As I said in my initial reply; warmode is fine, incursions are fine.
Five of the six hours, which is when I went into the zone to the end of the event. I managed to get a couple WQs done in that time via constantly rezzing when I could but continually got ganked every time. As I said, horde at every WQ and FP.
If warmode and incursions were fine, there wouldn’t be threads talking about them negatively and having problems like this with gank-groups everywhere.
It’s all a matter of perspective. The “upset threads” are the vocal minority, while most people are doing just fine in WM.
People who eat burgers don’t make posts about how eating burgers is fine. Vegans on the other hand, do make very vocal posts about how meat is murder, and change is needed. Guess which one you are?
All ball-busting aside, I’m sure you’ll complete the next one. In fact, I will offer to group with you to make sure it goes swimmingly. Sound fair?
There usually are a lot of 120s on both sides at incursions. Leveling characters are particularly vulnerable, since they can get killed in one or two hits. I’d suggest that, unless you want to spend time in world PVP with a minimal experience gains, you might want to avoid incursions until you get to 120.
I do think it’s a pity that Blizzard nerfed level scaling, since I think incursions are the kind of content where competitive mixed levels would add to the fun, but that’s a separate issue.
Sorry, I don’t do cross-server grouping and pulling people to other shards for warmode; it’s unfair.
and no, it’s not a ‘vocal minority’ it’s a vocal majority at this point because people use twitter, reddit, and here are at an increasing frequency and clearly MORE and MORE people turn off warmode hence the further increased rewards 2 weeks in a row at least.
I’d suggest otherwise TBH. I am absolutely garbo on my DK and leveled up just fine via incursions this week. Don’t get me wrong, I died plenty. But I had no issues actually finishing each one.
