Return of Reckoning

It’s always been the best content in the game. In SC, what matters is strategy (assists, tank punts, CC), not mindless AoE like in blob fights.
Of course, there are often people who go into SC with useless AoE builds, but not on the same scale as in ORVR.

Now, playing SC is a completely new experience. Sure, even now and then there might be a slight imbalance in an SC setup, but that’s rare.

Want to play with a friend in a tank-plus-DPS setup? No problem. SC will have a healer (or not—but then the opponents won’t have one either). Want to play DPS plus healer? No problem—SC will have tanks (or no one will have them).

As far as I’m concerned, the new matchmaking is, right after the “tank rework” and the “WS/INI changes,” the best change in the game. A positive change, of course.

Since players can do dungeons into prebis and symetry in archetypes created by new pairing system there is less and less acceptence for players who que t4 scs in low tier gear just because of lazynes.
Maybe t4 scs should be some kind adjusted into renown rank. Example t4 would start from 58rr or even more.

Then how would my fresh 40 get carried and get 25k rr? XD

You can do scenarios starting at lvl 1 but suddenly you're not allowed when you hit 40? Never once have I ever cared about people's gear in scenarios. If we lose because we can't get any kills, so be it. It's the times when people play like idiots that frustrates me (standing around out of range watching the giant in TD move slowly, for example).

PS: I'm sure most ppl who know my characters think I'm the idiot in SCs. I'm ok with that.

PPS: Yes the new scenario system is amazing, primarily the change to renown. Objectives matter, trophies matter, and you still get something decent if you lose.

Scenario tiers would be binded with renown rank, not with rank.

I dont know if main idea of new system was helping ignorant players kidnap all players in sc for 10 min because of his ignorance.
Desighners of system assumes that its team game and players should interact with same assumption.



Renown gain is not straight binded with matchmaking system, should not be treated as quality change but promotion change.
