Seen a lot of people ask. And typical blizz style, they cba to add a timer in game or on there website. For quite relevant content, that changes daily. So here’s the timers for a week… it’s based on GMT (UK time)

Where did you get this information from, and yes please link spreadsheet.

From what I see he added 12 hours to the end of each incursion but I read somewhere that they are approximately 12 hours after the last one so I’m wondering who is right

EDIT: I read it on wowhead, https://www.wowhead.com/guides/battle-for-azeroth-incursions

“Faction Assaults last 7 hours. The next Faction Assault will spawn approximately 12 hours after the end of the previous assault”
“You will soon be able to track the next invasion timing on the front page of Wowhead, however the feature is not live yet”

Until someone makes an Incursion timer website like they did with legion, then this is our best bet so far. Check second tab for EU (top left).

Thanks for the timers. Wowhead will probably track it soon, I guess they want to observe it for a while to make sure they got the timers right.

yeah as above, based it on the first incursion (they last 7 hours) then 12 hours after. It’s worked out spot on so far. Not sure how reboots etc are gonna affect it, best we’ve got so far.

Some of these times really piss me off, also the fact i have to go to a third party website to find out when they’re going to happen !!!

Look at some of these times when the incursions happen …

Sunday 16 December 7:30 pm → 1:30 am
Monday 17 December 2:00 pm → 8:00 pm
Tuesday 18 December 8:30 am → 2:30 pm
Wednesday 19 December 3:00 am → 9:00 am
Wednesday 19 December 9:30 pm → 3:30 am
Thursday 20 December 4:00 pm → 10:00 pm
Friday 21 December 10:30 am → 4:30 pm
Saturday 22 December 5:00 am → 11:00 am
Saturday 22 December 11:30 pm → 5:30 am
Sunday 23 December 6:00 pm → 12:00 am

Some of these times are just retarded, i know we all live in different times zones but really ? 5am to 11am or 3am to 9am. Surely there is a better system to work with a players time zones and country of origin.

It’s not just timezones = believe it or not we live in a 24 hour society these days. The production facility I run has shifts working 24/6 - imagine being a WoW fan and never being able to do anything of this type of content in game because of the shift pattern you work?

As it is (and with Legion’s invasions) this is the best and fairest way of making sure everyone can take part.

Why do those timers piss you off? If you can’t play/don’t want to play at those times then don’t. How do these timers affect you in any way?

Thanks for posting this information, I’m sure it’s much appreciated by many.

I do want to add; incursions are when opposifte faction attacks. Shouldn’t those attacks be surprise attacks? For immersion-reasons I feel these incursions should appear randomly and take shorter or longer each time. But gameplay-wise I get this is impossible because people want to get their rewards yesterday.
