Scenario Preview Now Live!

Scenario Preview Now Live!

You can now read more about the Mists of Pandaria Scenarios feature in our updated expansion preview website! Check out our sneak peek at two of the scenarios you and your friends will be able to play in Mists of Pandaria: A Brewing Storm and Greenstone Village.

What’s a “Scenario?”
Scenarios are short, instanced adventures for three players that directly follow the stories and events in the open world. In a scenario you’ll be presented with a number of goals you need to achieve in order to progress. So instead of “clear trash, kill boss, rinse, repeat”, you will be given objectives you have to complete to move the scenario’s story forward. Yes, that’s right – scenarios are heavily story-driven, much more so than dungeons.

 


A Brewing Storm

Greenstone Village

 

You’ll be able to queue for scenarios, dungeons, raids, and battlegrounds all at the same time in Mists of Pandaria. Scenarios share a common UI with dungeons and raids as part of the Dungeon Finder, and you can check your queue statuses by clicking on the LFD icon next to your minimap.

Check out the previews now for more info and screenshots, and make sure to check back often as we’ll be adding info for more scenarios soon. Stay tuned!

Scenarios would be cool if you could do them while leveling. Instead you waste time as a level 90 to not get any reward. Badges aren't a real reward since it's easy enough to get them from dungeons and dailies.

It's a cool idea, but you blew it, Blizzard :(

i just did 8 scenarios and opened all caches of treasure at once and only got only gold out of every single one of them... what is the point of scenarios if all we get is 20 gold and valor points... its a sad reward for 20-30 minutes of non-stop fighting

Disappointed that this is the "world event" to usher in this xpac. Something we will get to do over and over when mists hits. So disappointed.

I just don't want any bugs pooping up 5 minutes into the gameplay and then have blizzard shut down the servers again, if they do that then everybody who wants them up now will be complaining saying they should have left them down longer, so just wait and avoid the problems lol.

LOL! You all are funny addicts. I would rather the game stay down so they can fix problems than have the game up and a myriad of problems that make my game play miserable. It does make me wonder why there are so many problems with this patch since, as was stated earlier, they did test this patch extensively....oh well.

@Abbiecake: I agree completely. I'd much rather them take their time and get it right, than rush and have to constantly fix bugs.

This is what GW2 was about, and GW. Not gonna lie. Loved that game for exactly this reason and now that WoW has it, I don't know if I'll be getting GW2.

I'm really excited for this! Whenever I group up for a dungeon it feels like the main thing everyone is interested in is "going fast and burning stuff ASAP" which, I agree, is really nice when things run smoothly and quickly. But there is a lot of lore about the mobs and bosses in the dungeon that gets missed out on because it's not really an important point of the instance. I don't dislike dungeons at all, but I'm very warmed-up to these lovely new "Scenarios" that will be coming out in MoP. <3
Hooray!

@Eroicej: Also the Secret World, game is actually kinda cool but the community sucks, and the game wasn't ready for launch when it went live. Also the thing that keeps WoW players in wow is the fact that they've leveled a bazilion chars and can't fathom starting over from scratch in a new MMO where they may or may not find a decent group to run with.

@Prïestïtute: Don't forget Age of Conan... and DIABLO 3... LOL The people who keep heralding the end of WoW don't know a damn thing. People come & go. The biggest WoW killer isn't any other game, but rather people getting older & deciding they don't have as much time to devote to WoW as would make it worth their while to play. Certainly been the trend w/ people I've known. "Life" has taken more WoW players away than all the other games combined.

@Mabon: Not really, I personally love starting from scratch in a new mmo, I find that more interesting than being at the level cap doing nothing because I am bored. Even so, I choose to stay with WoW because I have played it for awhile and still like the game.

@Triplewhammy: lol Like they said above. ALOT of games were suppose to be the end of WoW but it never happened. I personally like TERA but I'm still going to play WoW for awhile longer. If you don't wanna play get off the forums and go to your gw2 forums :) kbai
