Tilting that i have to put 1000000s of hours into 10 levels again. But as usual fun detected must kill it.
And no doing the 20 years old badly designed quests isn’t fun for the 100th time lowest.
Nah, not a good idea to me. I don’t think Incursions should make the leveling process redundant in the first place. In its current form, I don’t think Incursions should be mandatory at all since I feel they’re not in a very good place, especially on PvP realms.
Think it was perfect.
I don’t want to spend hundreds of hours to level in a 20 years old game’s seasonal content.
I want to try other classes and play on multiple characters. This way it’s jut no way I’m leveling another one it’s insanely infuriating that they halved the xp gain for no reason.

I agree, is ridiculous to nerf it after the early birds got all the benefits (XP & gold). The gold gain was too high so that nerf was somewhat warranted even though frustrating for players not about to receive any benefit.
Now anyone wanting to level is simply handicapped compared to everyone who leveled previously in 2 ways.
- Lower XP
2 . Constant high level level players killing you, which did not really happen as much early on as everyone was happy leveling so it was mutually beneficial for everyone to not gank/pvp
XP nerfs should be reverted for alts / late players.

I levelled my hunter alt from 40 to 46 in 3 hours today only doing ashenvale incursions.
What you smoking?

Incursions are still busted in terms of exp gain though. It takes about 30min per lvl from 40 to 46, I think I did one lvl in less than 15 min.
They even added an incursion from lvl 25.
And the gold isn’t bad, my alt reached 50 with more than 300g.

That’s the question i’m asking from you instead.
All this bs i’m hearing every time. A level was doable in 30 mins BEFORE the nerf with 7.9k xp gain/quest not now with 4.4k. (Yes by just doing pick-up quests.)
Show me your playtime.
It’s not possible at all to do it in 30 mins unless you get lucky with escort+every boss kill quests and don’t run into a pvp fiesta.
3 players have already confirmed that it’s possible but you still keep arguing…smells like a skill issue to me

just quest, more fun then the boring incursions, its good they made more people go quest instead so the world feels more alive

imagine bringing up skills in leveling content.
just can’t take if some1 spreading bs
it’s not fun at all to play a walking simulator for infinite hours just to fall behind on endgame content. I don’t care about the world or how alive it is did every content hundreds of times already and i don’t care about the people either in that world or whom i group up with. You don’t talk to them anyways and don’t care who they are at all.
All i want is to be able to level up efficiently and try out other classes as how it should be.

You don’t have an optimized leveling strategy which also requires skill
you mean running from drakes to satyrs then warsong + tagging boss if we have the quest and repeat? that’s what we did on the 1st day.
and yes compared to that the xp gain is just unbearable
pvping while questing and ganking the other faction is already same enteraintment as endgame pvp, you just need to add pvp to your pve trust me it becomes fun

Yes 40-43 is doable in that time frame but not afterwards.
Before the nerf it was until around 48.
to be honest, the Escort should not be shared to outside parties, the go get item and return back should have a respawn timer + an extra time to pick it up. The boss should not be shared with other parties so you can just tag it. the NPCs that you talk to should not give the amount of XP they give. since they are instant in this case.
Thats how the other vanilla quests works, therefor these should work the same. When these fixes are in place, then we can talk about reverting the XP and gold.
Otherwise the Incursions are replacing rest of the world.
That’s the point.
Questing is the least effective and biggest time sink has ever existed.
Dungeons are okay-ish but meh cba forming a group after every run and wasting 40 minutes to get to the given dungeon.
People tend to forget this is a seasonal realm and all this should be about to get to the endgame and be able to experience everything (like for me for ex. i’d like to play on different classes, try out runes, specs in pvp or raids.)
This isn’t Classic where everything should be long and boring and just all about time sink.
Incursions are mind numbing content and shouldn’t have been there in the first place. I’d rather run x amounts of ZF than do that clown fiesta grind, but with the honoured gear, it’s now a must for alts.
There’s enough bo us xp for leveling going around, there was no need to make it even dumber and more boring. Incursions are the weakest part of SoD and should be abolished in phase 4
I finished levelling my holy paladin on saturday, and I can confirm you can still level up pretty fast in incursions.
46-47-48 was a little over 30min each level, 48-49 around 45min, and 49-50 about an hour.
This included the occasional 3-5min waiting to refill group +sharing quests.
If you have a 5player party then you’ll get 16-18 quests at all times.
Do pick-ups, tag bosses only if they’re up (we’d check back on dragon boss on the way back if we missed it when starting the run) and only wait for escorts before starting the run while sharing quests at the bottom of the ramp (the only extra waiting for escorts was if there was one on the way when we were heading back to ramp at the end of the run, never longer than 1min).
