wow Incursions in Patch 8.1

[Stan 4,725]

Incursions are very similar to Legion invasions in terms of functinality. Zones will be periodically under assault and you're going to see an invasion icon on the map. Standard world quests will be replaced by invasion quests and once you complete four, you're going to be transported to the opposing faction's ship to complete a short quest for Gold, gear and reputation with BfA factions.

Check out our Tides of Vengeance hub for the latest information about Patch 8.1.

Frequency

• It appears that a zone will be under attack for 12 hours and once you'll complete an Incursion you will have to wait before a new one becomes available.

Achievements

There are six assaults per faction that must be completed to earn achievements.

• On The Frontlines (Alliance)
• On The Frontlines (Horde)

Horde zones will be attacked by the Alliance and vice versa. You're going to see Alliance ships in the air as a Horde player when a zone is under attack. Once you complete four world quests in a zone, you will be transported to the ship and must defeat enemy forces to complete the main quest if you're the defending faction.

If you're, for instance, attacking Boralus as a Horde player, you're going to mount an Azerite Iron Star and wreak havoc across the battlefield in the final quest.

Rewards

• Completing the Incursion in Vol'dun rewarded 700 Gold, 125 reputation with The Honorbound and Vol'dunai.
• Completing the Incursion in Boralus rewarded 250 reputation with The Honorbound and 600 Artifact Power.

We're going to update this article with more Incursions once they become available in the next few hours.

even using the same Invasion Symbol...

More stuff (even reused) is always good, as long as it's not only/dominant way to get what you want, like expeditions monotony (which will be spiced a bit as well).

That is actually pretty likely to change, just the symbol used doesn’t matter to them since it’s not on live servers yet.

Are these giving insane amount of experience for alts like legion invasions?

Hope they will change the fel portal icon ?

[Brutalis 165]

Please tell me they can be used to level alts. I must have got 6 chars to cap through invasions alone in Legion - and leveling is so much duller now we have to do the same three zones rather than being able to choose not to do X zone

Tbh i don't get all the hate expeditions get, they are the best feature so far in BfA for me. They indeed lack variety right now, but it's already much more fun to do than m+ over and over again. Tbh i would gladly see m+ mechanic on expeditions, but not scattered so much, like, normal is 1 affix, heroic is 2 and mythic is 3, and maybe not tied to week but instead random each time.

It's the never ending hate cycle of the entitlement playerbase. Does not matter what Blizzard does, people are gonna hate it and rail against it.

I am hoping that when they do this, they also open up the rep the way they did in legion, so we can actually make use of the rep it gives us.  I'm already exalted with all the factions and I know plenty of other people are as well.  Don't let our rep go to waste, Blizz!
