It keeps coming up - wonder if there is something to it.

There is experimental 6v6 in the works that only group leader would able to queue for. If we recall Mythic played around with premade vs premade scenarios, and failed.

Instead of separating scenarios into separate queues for pugs and premades (wow arena style). I rather we change scenario mechanics where premades are challenged to much greater degree.

Examples of new mechanics I am proposing:

Objective: Extreme Survival (Premade vs Pugs)
Location: Martyr's Square
Description: 1 group zones into center of Praag. Every 8 minutes scenario will advance to next stage by allowing 6 more pugs to join until scenario is 6vs18. Pugs can respawn, at a wc, premade would have no respawn wc (must rez). Pugs would have spawn points at multiple location (or teleport flags). If pugs take over the bo, premade looses and scenario ends.

Objective: Never Ending Purge
Location: Tomb of the Vulture Lord.
Description: 2 groups (or pugs) are spawned at random locations inside a tomb. Groups must find each other and purge from instance. Winning group remains, loosing one is removed and new group zones in. The more purges a premade survives, greater the rewards.

Objective: King of the Hill (Hardcore premade vs premade):
Description: 2 Groups zone in into small area separated by a visible barrier When match starts barrier disappears. After 7 minutes group with most kills wins. There would be no respawn area (member has to be rezzed). Match is over after one group is wiped or scenario ends. Might be fun if premades do not know who they are facing, until barrier drops.

im not gonna lie those sound really cool espically never ending purge

Im really looking forward to the next dev diary for more details

Those SC ideas sound absolutely amazing, hope they will be implemented!

Londo, I know you already know this. But I love you babe. I really do.

Another idea I'd toss in there is maybe an escort based SC. Could make it in any big SC map. Have an NPC walk a path. It can be healed and damaged by players. Pugs attack. Premade guards. 6v12 max. If mob gets to end point premade wins if killed pugs win.

To be honest, those don't excite me. :/ The first idea can easily be abused by just solo queueing your premade into the purge and rolling the other premade. The second might take too long, and given the current lag issue (people lagging out while still technically being in game) this doesn't seem likely.

You guys are making this harder than it needs to be.

Damn, who invited Debbie Downer?
