Return of Reckoning

From a North American perspective, this would help mid-level sc pop a lot. It's basically impossible to get mid-level pops in the evening.

the devs do a very good job for players that they can do pve, they fixing the quests, implemantion dungeons. why you just see the pvp areas, you should be expanse your horizont

Why lvling in this old game is very boring, simple. Why have pve in this server? To many player? More Lag? You play one 10 years old game and wait the pve? WTF!

1-39 is too much. imagine fighting a group of 25-30s when your BW can only spam fireball or your only healer is a shaman that can only use Gork'll fix it.

16-31 would be a better range. No new players getting stomped and all classes have at the very least some of their core abilities.

I know this will never happen. The dev team absolutely hates scenarios and has made it clear multiple times but one can always dream, at least

When was the last time you did midtier sc?
The current bracket is already 16-30.

Is it? Last time i did a scenario before t4 was like 2+years ago, since doing sc is a complete waste of time when leveling. Thanks for correcting me then

When you don't want to end with rr20 at rank 40, then sc are actually the best way to get xp and rp alike.

Not really. If that's the case, why does everyone prefer doing RvR? On my t1 character i'm leveling right now, a won scenario gives me slightly more xp than completing a quest. It takes 2 times as much time and more importantly, you don't win all your scenarios.

Scenarios are so irrelevant during leveling that i haven't queued one in more than 2 years and completely forgot the 16-31 bracket even existed. Scenario rewards need to be buffed a lot. Not that it will ever happen.

My question would be why are you even giving input on something you clearly have no interest or experience in?

16-39 would be best solution, so new players dont get rofl stomped and t1 scs pop frequently. So for t2 16-39 and 31+players can decide to join 40scs, just asking if its possible. What is really strange is when you que with someone else you get much more sc pops, sometime when I watch streams they que as 2+ players in t2 scs and get 3scs and im still waiting solo for one to pop

PvE gives you more experience than scenarios or RvR. Scenarios give you more exp than RvR and way more renown than PvP.

That's not really what makes people decide to do them or not though. I've found that with the mid tier being so underpopulated you tend to get a lot of the same groups fighting each other over and over. One side is usually better than the other so you get these streaks of winning or losing. It only takes so many loses before the average player will decide they dont want to join anymore.

On top of that people like instant gratification. If you RvR you immediately join and have a constant game going on. Since you cant really join a WB and do scenarios easily I think most people opt to do the game type with less down time.

There is also my own theory that most people dont really want to compete all that much. In RvR you can hide in a zerg. There you either roll over smaller numbers or can blame dying on getting zerged by the other side so you can blame your death on the fact that you had no chance.

There is only so much you can do about the population size. But you should never force people into a game type. The biggest problem is with the way scenarios are set up. You are saying if you want to RvR effectively you cant do scenarios. And since scenarios are slow to begin with people opt to do RvR more. Which makes the situation even worse.

I like the game, but scenarios are really the only content I liked. Since they appear to be an afterthought, they end up being slow and I find myself logging on less and less. Been lots of days lately where I log on to try and do a scenario only to realize I'm never going to get one, so I log off.

Not really complaining, just one person's opinion.
