Am I the only one who actually think it’s kind of boring ?
I mean, where is the fun in spamming the same quests over and over ?
This mechanic litteraly turns all of us into human bots, always in a hurry. Some are also more than eager to trash others that won’t do the exact same things in the exact same order in the exact same time…jesus, since when do we accept this willingly ?
To be fair I gave up on this after honored. Dunno, just felt like an idiot farming this. And I believe I’m not an idiot, nope.
The set isn’t that good, as a caster the epic staff is nice but not really worth all this trouble, similar options through ST raid or the dagger in Maraudon can do the trick.
Maybe a trinket ? Yeah, amongst all the others I have, that fill space in my bags/bank and I don’t use that often to be fair…
Also knowing this probably won’t be relevant in the next phase, that will obivously come very soon once some unemployed sweaty bots will start whinning about getting bored (isn’t that the case already ? Too soon I guess, maybe from next week ?)
Its the path of least resistence for leveling and getting rep at the same time. Its horribly tedious and the quests are boring, yet we do them anyway? Crazy right.
Just goes to show people just want efficiency over fun. Whether its nonstop farming SFK in P1 , SM in P2 or Incursions in P3.
I don’t refer to anything in particular, ive leveled so many times in vanilla i dont really enjoy any of the options. I mainly enjoy the post-leveling experiance each phase and getting runes, raiding and some pvp.
That said if i was going an inefficient route like when i was younger id say messing around with friends running around doing quests (slowly) and some dungeons with quests maybe some pvp.
As i said though I wont criticise anyone for wanting to level quickly in this way. Times have changed and most of us have done this loads of times already.
I agree, in its current form they’re not a good addition to the game. If it wasn’t for my class being unplayable without the rewards, I would not even attempt going there.
I mean regular-classic-old school questing in zones, not this incursions nonsense. I have a lot of fun playing like that.
Turns out yesterday I teamed up with a player fed up with incursions just like me. We’ve done all the elites quests in Hinterlands together, took us a while, we chatted, killed a few Ally on the way, made risky pulls, this was actually fun (and we added each others, I call this a success).
Same 40 to 50 just by doing incursions. But I’m not sure how I should feel about this. I’m glad this was super fast, but won’t say it was “a real pleasure”.
i just can’t take those anymore. it’s mind numbingly slow and my gametime is just running out wasting every minute on quests. + in addition the quest designs are just… no words how bad they are (for me)
ye this is the part which i just don’t care about at all. i don’t want to make new friends or ingame friends or we can call it whatever. i’m not interested in who is that person, why does he play, what’s his exp and so on. if there were i’d just play with bots tbh (like on retail the 5man dungeons). i just don’t. just want to be efficient and let me go on the end game basically (and the group forming then 1h+ run times to dungeons, then regrouping etc. just wastes more time not to mention the quests.) idk after 17 years i don’t care about these at all
I’m a vanilla player, stopped at TBC (because I had better things to do, like enjoying my 20’s), came back for Classic super motivated, did a bit of Hardcore, followed my younger brother on SoD with zero goal.
So yeah, I think I understand what you mean. I loved questing, but I don’t do this anymore, or just sometimes, for extra gold or a specific item.
Now I’m at the point I only check guides to figure out what to farm, since knowledge is power, and go straight to the point, skipping tons of content.
Like you I couldn’t care less about making “friends” in-game. I have enough real life ones and don’t particulary value virtual encounters to be fair.
Still, I don’t think these nightmare encounters are a meaningful addition to the game. It’s boring, artificial, creatively lazy and not worth my time. I don’t recall any good memory doing this, beside going from a group to another, sharing quests, going to a point, then another, sometimes barely speaking to each others and repeat.
Probably one of the saddest game experience I had.
the problem is that the developers saw how phase2 turned out with SM spams, and thought instead of burdening the servers’ capacity, we might as well create an event that is just as dead as just running around doing the same thing over and over again! but in Nightmare could put in more gold and exp.
Worst was that the developers wrote that Nightmare inc was in an old desgin that vanilla had before? That just garbage! never been this bad pve event ever wows classic!
Josh said in an interview how important Azeroth is and the world in wow classic is unique! Therefore, new dungeons and new content are very limited. Then you release a pve event where you can spam the same quest over and over again, without even having to kill a single monster or even move around the world?? Josh did you come up with this idea?
Incursions destroyed sod phase 3. Loved sod but when phase 3 came it literally destroyed all the fun to the point tja me and many of my friends quit the game
