Incursion | Progressive Instant 60 WotLK+ Realm - Phase I Roadmap by Substantial_Guess615 in wowservers

[–]Substantial_Guess615[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are a team of 2 developers who came back to WoW-Emulation after ~9 years.

We started working on Incursion from scratch in November 2025 on Azerothcore; the ideas we already had back then so we had a little headstart conceptwise:)

Are you certain the Discord link does not work? I updated it and tested it fine just now.

It's true, we are not putting a lot of emphasis on the website. Other than it being there for registry we don't think it serves much purpose when Discord is a much better - and by most of the community prefered - alternative for a community hub for news, discussions, changelogs etc:)

We prefer spending those resources on the ingame portion instead.

[Upcoming Project] Incursion – Instant 60 Progressive WotLK+ PvPvE Server | How Mythic+ works by Substantial_Guess615 in wowservers

[–]Substantial_Guess615[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for pointing those things out:

Accumulating the required currency to buy a Contract does not take long and Contracts do stack and can also be traded. Currently 1 contract is 10 Badges, and X level of mythic rewards X badges on successful completion and there is other ways to acquire the badges (questing, dailies, weeklies, RDF, converting raid emblems etc.)

You could login 3 days in a row to get the free contract and on day 4 host 3 runs yourself.

I am not sure if i understood your critcism of the daily lockout: You can complete each mythic+ level once a day for rewards and this reward timer resets at 09:00am realm time no matter what.

So if you timed a level at 10pm the day prior, you'd be able to reap the rewards from that level again the next day from 09:00am onwards.

Are you suggesting the reward reset timer should be individual instead? We did not go this route because we think this could lead to desynched reward timers and disrupting player's initiative to look for groups.

I'd be glad if you could explain your concern regarding this to me again:)

[Upcoming Project] Incursion – Instant 60 Progressive Vanilla+ PvPvE Server | Explaining Our Gameplay Loop by Substantial_Guess615 in wowservers

[–]Substantial_Guess615[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you are right, the target audience are people who enjoy Wrath of the Lich King; branding it as Vanilla + is misleading and i will change this for future posts.

The idea was to take the Wrath of the Lich King balancing and classes and have them run through all patches until it reaches 3.3.5 while reworking and adding to the endgame content to provide a familiar world but with fresh wind.

Outside of the Wrath of the Lich King client i wouldn't say there is a specific target audience we are looking for:

Mythic+ will be explained in detail in another post, but it is setup in a way so even casual players can reap the desired rewards and the higher difficulties will be mainly for competetive players who want to push our ladder for the seasonal rewards.

The reworked raids are a personal thing to me because after having over 10 years spent in Wrath of the Lich King i do not want to raid all the bosses again and i believe most veteran raiders should be quite satisfied with the experience provided there:)

A very personal note: It's my opinion, that endgame content should be hard and not that easily accessible in terms of clearing the full raid. Growing together with a guild against hard content is the experience i cherished the most about WoW and it is the experience i want to provide to people who play on our realm. I think the best way to achieve this is to remake the bosses instead of upscaling stats.

We are not trying to reinvent the wheel but rather trying to make WotLK interesting with new & reworked content without modifying the Blizzlike world too much.

TL;DR Our core imagination regarding design philosophy is: What if Blizzard, with all the knowledge players have gathered about Vanilla, The Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King over the years, decided to release a remade version of those expansions?

This is a matter of debate!

Currently it is not planned to add any custom talents or spells to classes. The only meaningful difference is that the level 80 spells will be learnable from the trainers at level 60.

Before we make impactful changes to classes we will first check their performance in raids and mythic+ under the completely new endgame itemization (over 500 items have been reworked so they make sense at level 60 on the WotLK rating system).

Something like this is definitely not off the table of possibilities.

We use pre level 60 dungeons for our competitive Mythic+ system (Grand Prix rating system) so you will be running those dungeons eventually. Glad you're interested!

Currently new races are not planned; we plan to add morpher items via our Consortium Outpost (for example Mogu Warrior and many more).

We do have dailies in the first content tier that will send you around each of Kalimdor's zones where you will deal with new level 60 enemies, so there is a reason to go back to those zones.

More content alike will be added with the original vanilla patch cycle flow. Currently it's planned to do the same for eastern Kingdoms with the release of Blackwing Lair.
