Scenario

Join forces with your fellow heroes and embark on epic Scenarios that will challenge you like never before![1]

Introduced with the Mists of Pandaria Mists of Pandaria expansion, Scenarios are short instances consisting of a series of tasks that can be completed by groups of players smaller than 5 for rewards better than individual quests.[2] Currently they may operate like small instances, but as with everything in an upcoming expansion, things may change. As with dungeons, they will be tied into a queuing system, but there will be no defined roles, so queues should be short.

As of the March 2012 press event developers said they have about 5 scenarios "close to completion" and will add more before launch.[3]

In late Nov 2011, a Community Manager gave a short description:[4]

Scenarios are going to be (subject to change) short instanced 2-3 player experience that do not require you to have the normal requirements of a dungeon, I.E. Tanks/Healers.

If you like, you can consider scenarios as a very quick series of group quests with an option to queue available ^^

Contents

Basic scenario Edit

Simple sample scenario.

A simple example scenario could take place in an instanced portion of Goldshire where low level players would have to kill 25 kobolds as a group, help retrieve four village children, and finally kill Combat Goldtooth.[2] Unlike shared quests, all participants would start at the same place in the scenario and would need to complete it together.

PvE Battleground Edit

Example PvE Battleground scenario.

Another use of scenarios would be to create a sort-of "PvE Battleground" where players would only fight NPCs in similar situations as would occur in a PvP battleground. As an example, Alliance players could be required to kill 25 Horde NPCs, destroy 6 towers and barracks, and finally kill the scenario boss, "General Drake."[2]

Examples Edit

Alcaz Island Edit

MMO Champion found that Alcaz Island has some setup for a scenario involving the Twilight's Hammer.[5]

Lightning Lager Edit

Lightning Lager is a scenario started from a wandering pandaren only available during nighttime and raining in a certain area shown during the March 2012 press event.[3]

  • You repel invaders of a brewery camp.
  • Push your way through their lines to a temple at the bottom of the hill.
  • Defeat the boss at the temple.

Valley of Power Edit

Found in Wowhead,[6] but no details as of yet. Strangely shares the name of the placeholder version ("Valley of Power") of Temple of Kotmogu battleground in Beta, so may occur nearby.

Beta list Edit

MMO Champion has data-mined a list of scenarios in first Beta as of March 24th, 2012[7] and Wowhead is continually updating their Beta DB:

Notes Edit

  • Players will need to be in the general area where the scenario takes place to queue for it.[23]
  • The group size is intended to be 2-3 players without the need for a healer or tank.[23]
