Infinite Invasions to 100?

[Deleted]

It's not intentional and definitely not allowed. Probably going to get the banhammer if he's intentionally abusing a bug, on stream no less. You're more at risk if you're streaming it, but if you're not, the chances are that nothing will happen, but there's still a chance and I would recommend not doing this.

It's intentional and it's allowed. This is just how scenario's worked, if you log out or dc it puts you back at the start.

By the fact, he's logging out, to return to a reseted event, multiple times. Which isn't how the mechanic is meant to be.

its seems it reset aswell when you go out of the zone or get into dungun or join group with other ppl so im not entierly sure its exploit

in any case i dont care to wait an hour instand of using this method i dont want to risk anything

[Vynestra]

It's not infinite because there is a finite amount of invasions left, specifically until legion launch.

lol.

Even using the bug it's still finite.

[Triggered Fridgekin]

Sounds like this dude Nugiyen is the kinda asshole that screws the game for everyone else by exploiting. It's obvious that this is not how blizz intends invasions to be done or how they intend you to get xp from them. Hope they ban him and toss his ac in the trash. No idea why people need to be over-the-line stupid about things.

How so? By leveling his character quicker? How does that screw the game for everyone else in a self-contained, limited event which only rewards experience?

I am truly perplexed. Are the AFK farmers exploiting too?

Yeah the streamer isn't too bright. He was skipping stage 3 claiming it was a waste of time.

[Ashkiman]

Competing the last stage has the highest amount of reward both in terms of xp and loot, he's just choosing to ignore the last part's reward and do the first three parts over and over. I don't think that would be considered exploiting.

Pretty sure that quote was sarcasm. Almost positive. Maybe.

You don't have to log out, just leaving the zone is enough. It's a highly efficient way to farm experience right now, though it may not be optimal for very low levels due to no flying. If you have a friend to piggyback on, though...

Leaving the zone doesn't work. You have to log out. I've entered in progress invasions - had to relog.

I dunno why anybody cares; it's a quick way to level an alt, which is practically the whole point of these things.

if you think anybody's gonna get banned over it you are a nutbar

Leveling alts is not the point of invasions - at all. They allowed 10+ characters in so that non max, new or returning players could experience the event. The only reason they give any meaningful XP is so you aren't gimping your progress for Legions launch.


Questing with looms has always been the fastest way to level.

[Cheze]

if leveling alts isn't the point of invasions, why have they gone to such pains to make sure they give out tons of exp? :rotate:

also I doubt questing is as fast as invasions, at least for the 30 or so minutes every cycle you can be doing them. My paladin (level 30, rested) got six levels in about fifteen minutes from an invasion yesterday evening.

WTF with your brains people? How the f.ck is this exploit? O.o Is finishing dungeon then getting out and click "reset dungeon" exploit also?

[ReleaseDay]

How is he logging in/out affecting the event going on on serverside?

[ComputerNerd]

Theres nothing wrong with it. People have been doing it since day 1.

If you simply decide to leave the invasion in stage 1, say you got a dungeon pop or battleground, when you come back it resets. That's not an exploit or a bug, it's just the way it works.

You can also server hop and join different stages.

People doing something doesn't mean it is meant to be happening.
Hence banning botters.
My guess is either lack of a timely solution, or tolerance due to its limited impact, particularly with the ever shorter remaining time.

If he is actively encouraging an exploit, then I hope blizzard come down hard on him.
This is clearly not intended.

You don't return to reseted event. You phased to another instance of event.

People have been acting completely retarded over these invasions. If all the people the MMO Champions here thought should be banned, had actually been banned, WoW would have lost 90% of the playerbase. Everything IS AN EXLPOIOT MOGGOMGOMGOGMOGMGOMGOMGOGMO!

[ReleaseDay]

So how do you actually do it? Just log out on phase 4?

[Cheze]

if you leave the zone before stage 4 ends, you can wait until it ends and zone back into a new invasion. Logging out apparently resets your invasion phase though, so that's faster if you're looking to farm continuously.

well i done this method 2 times then saw ppl saying its ban worthie so i stopped and just doing normal invasions every hour or so hopefully i wont get punish for what i did before

in any case the guy who streamed it was 74 few hours ago and he 97 so the method is rly effective

So how do you actually do it? Just log out on phase 4?

what he doing is log out during phase 4 loging in and its reseting it and he kill the mobs again in phase 1/2/3 then reset

I really, really doubt he'd ever get banned for that. All he's doing is relogging? That's not breaking any rules.

Because people whined on the forums after they nerfed it. Again - it gives XP so it feels rewarding to do. That's their own words.

Pre expansion events are always meant for max levels but we have to cater to new or returning players these days.

well dunno i remember heaing about some ppl doing cataclysm dunguns and then going out reseting it and doing it again for gold and they got ban for exploit or somthing if i remember correctly
