Re: [Suggestion] Making certain Scenarios permanent fixtures in Rotation

This is a great idea. I would love to have Nordenwatch and Blackfire Basin always available.

If we get 3 permanent good maps but it's a free for all for pugs and premades. Yeah no thanks. I'll only support this if we have a separate selection of maps for both pugs and premades.
Team have already expressed that they won't add more PUG SC or Premade SC, and they are right to do so. Bearing this in mind, it makes sense to make the other 5/6 'normal' maps as appealing to the masses as possible.
No wait time is probably the biggest factor. That and you cant queue in a WB.Scottx125 wrote: Mon Aug 12, 2019 11:40 pmThat's fine thenpeterthepan3 wrote: Mon Aug 12, 2019 10:00 pmAs mentioned in OP, PUG SC and Premade SC would remain as they are; this would simply see 3 of the best 'free for all' maps made permanent in the rotation.Scottx125 wrote: Mon Aug 12, 2019 9:51 pm Depends how these would be added into the lobby.

Though in regards to lack of SC play the main reason I don't play SC's isn't due to the maps. It's because it's just not that fun :/. ORVR has a dynamic gameplay element, it's basically SC's and fort attacking rolled in one with randomness and tactics, and there's no wait time
. It feels more rewarding, regardless of if it actually is or isn't.
I wouldn't say that the rewards aren't good enough. I mean for my WP the 2H dps hammer is a requirement xD. But unfortunately it takes FOREVER to grind 1500 emblems. I remember last year I grinded for 5 days 5 hours a day and I only got 450 emblems at the end of it... After that I lost interest, stopped playing my WP and only played characters that worked in ORVR because it was the only fun part of the game.Nefarian78 wrote: Tue Aug 13, 2019 12:04 am I'm 100% on board with the idea but it has very little to do with why scenario popularity has dropped considerably. While having favourites scenarios like Nordenwatch or Ekrund permanently active might help, it does nothing to tackle the main problem with Scenario, which is the total lack of useful rewards.
Back when Dominator and SC weapons were BIS, pug queues took max 2minutes and there were 10times more organized groups doing scenarios, population was also lower in general.
Good rewards will make people flock to scenarios again. Especially with the god-awful blob meta going on lately.
