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!

I like it, people are gonna be shocked there's more than just raids to do. Will they have their own currency to collect for special items? I hope that now they've revamped the starting quests and areas with cataclysm, MoP will bring the endgame. The pet battles sound good, i liked them as Pankration in FFXI. Brown Prairie dog is gonna rule lol.

The newly lvl 85 Theramore's Fall scenario was driven by story, yea, I agree, but I didn't feel part of the story... It is supposed to be "story driven" so probably make some Voices... An assault team leader that 'speaks' and introduces the three players to the scenario and probably guide them through the objectives?

Oh yea, and make fights harder when it is released for lvl 90 MoP :)

i don´t like the idea of having to be level 90 to be able to do scenarios.would be nice if you could do them lower level. Alot of you will disagree but its just what i peronsally think at the moment :L but im still looking forward to it ;D

Well this scenario thing its definitely from "Guild wars 2". They are trying to do something similar like the events of Gw2. You know guys Blizzard will loose many customers at 28th of August by this new MMORPG. Guild wars 2 its different from other Mmos. Just Google stuff and you will be amazed. I already pre order the deluxe edition because collectors edition its a bit eeh... expensive. And best thing ever.. " There is NO Monthly Subscription"
By the way guys, don't hate with your comments but i don't think WoW has any future anymore, for me at least.
Take care and Enjoy life.

@Theotaher: To be honest even if blizzard lose player so do all mmo under summertime ^^ the something call vacation from us how is work in real world so ofc the take the family on vacation trip instead of stay home over summer so player base drop to between 40 - 60% of the normal population in a mmo game.
So the have take thing from other mmo so the are only one doing? hardly everyone do so why should blizzard do?
I think the Scenario well be fun for you dont need class roll like in LFG or LFR so basic found people will alot faster to do :)

Theotaher the only thing that is good with GW2 is you dont have pay month cost you say well have been look at the shop you well spend the money there and beside NO mmo is free for you always have pay real money somewhere i have not yet found a total free mmo for the are not many around and the who is total free is total crap think about that next time you talk about free mmo ;)

@Nimyla: Guildwars realease laods of expansions, thats how they make their money. They aint cheap tho its like buying a new game over and over again probs comes to the same as wow

@Theotaher: I have to admit i played the first GW to death and it was amazeing and the fued between wow and GW didnt really bother or effect which of the 2 i played and yes i agree that GW2 does look awesome and i will be getting it but even though i loved GW i still found myself drifting back to wow. I sometimes have weeks away from wow but always find myself going back to it becuase it delivers something that i havent really found in any other mmorpg and i have a feeling that it will happen again with GW2. However if you are giving up wow for GW2 good luck and enjoy.

@Theotaher: dude no-one is interested in you talking !@#$ about this. about companies using each others ideas.. its normal, for example: if you would have a car company, and another car company invents a handy little thing to help you with stuff in the car. then you're not just gonna say: ok cool.. no, you are gonna put it in your cars too. just so that the other company doesn't have some sort of advantage.

Sounds quite good, I can't wait to see what they are like.. I just hope they have implemeted them in a decent way.. Blizz have had a few good ideas of late.. but then have failed in their implementation {to varying degrees}..
Like LFR, was not a bad idea.. take raiding to the masses..Get more people involved in 'End Game' content.. Good in theory but in Cata it didn't work to well.. The gear from lfr was too powerful, meaning that all and everyone ran it to get the set bonuses to try and stay competative. This lead to many problems in LFR with people arguing over loot.. which wasn't helped by the insanely !@#$ loot system in it.. All in all making the player base pretty hostile at times.. Then the fact that it meant people were running LFR AND normal raids on all their chars meant people got sick of DS and WoW in general very quickly too, with some servers becoming quite empty within a month or two..

Lets hope they fix that in MoP and that these new senarios are well balanced and thought out..

@Janopoie: ive found that,in the beta when doing dungeons with US players they are so more relaxed,it was very refreshing.
i would say in party chat 'ive not done this one before' or to similiar effect and they would be like 'no worries,its just a game' i think that blizzard have done a great job on the visuals.....almost like how one could visualise ancient china being like. loads of people been trying out the pet battles,tho ive not tried it myself yet,and there is alot of daily quests,almost like the rep grind on Burning Crusade

@Janopoie: And if you don't remember what I mean here is a snippet from Zarhym before the patch:
"They will all have separate raid IDs. So you could technically raid the coliseum four separate times per week: 10-player normal, 10-player Heroic, 25-player normal, and 25-player Heroic."
And that is only two rooms with only end boss being in different place.

I think it's nice for times when you have less time and want to do something besides dailies and dungeons.... even more so when they squashed out the last bugs...

Nice, a faster way to farm VP.

Hopefully they'll add some scenarios for lower lvls.

@Kniknak: You will be able to download it before it goes live. When it comes live (@ 00:01 / 12:01 AM) you will get notified in the chat (a message for you, like RP text) that you got Mists of Pandaria and need to relog to activate it. It was like that when Cataclysm hit anyway. They will most likely take the money when you confirm your purchase. So no money lost ;)
