Huge news for fans of scenarios in Warhammer Online. Today's round of hotfixes included the ability to queue for any scenario you're eligible for from anywhere in the world! You don't have to be in the elf lands to queue for Tor Anroc anymore, nor do you have to be in the empire vs chaos pairing to queue for Talabec Dam. Same goes for dwarfs vs greenskins as well.
Direct from the Herald:
Greetings!
Your feedback is very important to us and it’s always our goal to make your play experience an even more enjoyable one.
In response to popular demand, you’ll now be able to queue for all of the scenarios available in your current tier, across all three pairings. For instance, if you’re in Nordland, you can queue for the Nordenwatch scenario as usual. You can also queue up for Khaine’s Embrace (the Tier 1 scenario in the High Elf vs. Dark Elf pairing) and the Gates of Ekrund (the Tier 1 scenario on the Dwarf vs. Greenskin pairing), all without leaving Nordland. No travel is required at all; just click the WAR symbol on your interface as you normally would, and use the arrows at the top of the window to scroll through the different scenarios.
We know many have been waiting for this feature and we have a lot more great additions coming on the horizon. We look forward to your continued feedback as we work to take WAR to the next level…WAAAGH!!!
One of the most common statements I've heard while playing Warhammer Online so far is "What? There are multiple scenarios in tier 3?!" Yes! There really are more scenarios than just Tor Anroc, Talabec Dam, and Black Fire Basin, and you can queue for all of them!
To do this, simply open up the "Scenario Lobby" by clicking on the Warhammer icon on your minimap. You're then presented with a screen that tells you about the scenario(s) available for queue. This includes a basic description of the gameplay in the scenario as well as the ability to queue either solo or your entire party (up to 6 players).
To access additional scenarios for your tier, click the left or right arrows at the top of the Scenario Lobby window. Previous to today's update, that would cycle through the available scenarios in that pairing, but now you can cycle through the scenarios in your tier -- regardless of the pairing you're currently located in.
What's better is that you can queue for all 6 of the tier 3 scenarios at once! Of course, once a queue becomes available, you're removed from the queue for all of those scenarios and must re-queue, but it's still very handy.
For your convenience, I've taken screenshots of each of the tier 3 scenarios and uploaded them here so you can take a look at the different gameplay mechanics for each. Once you're in-game, be sure to queue up for all of them! After all, you're getting as sick of Tor Anroc as I am, right?
