For those of you who were playing during Mists of Pandaria you may remember the introduction of solo instanced “scenarios” that were little lore-filled jaunts that provided some difficulty for a bit of a reward. It seems that in patch 10.1 we’re going to be seeing a new scenario called “Researchers Under Fire” that will follow Rannan Korren, Greta Herzig, and Thaelin Darkanvil as they try to uncover some of the mysteries and artifacts from a Titan mining operation!
It’s mentioned that there will be ancillary objectives available and as you complete more of them while completing the scenario you’ll get better loot. This is a bit reminiscent of how the Visions of N’Zoth functioned in BFA. It’s good to see features from past expansions not just being thrown in the trash can as things move on. Hopefully Blizzard can take inspiration from their past design that worked while changing what didn’t work to give us a new, fresh take on what were pretty fun adventures.
Read the full post below, or go head on over to the PTR and give it a test yourself!
We’re now testing a new scenario coming in Embers of Neltharion, in which you’ll assist researchers Rannan Korren, Greta Herzig, and Thaelin Darkanvil as they investigate a Titan mining lockdown with their new niffen guides in the Zaralek Cavern.
The adventurer Rannan Koren, a member of the Dragonscale Expedition, often heads into the fray before his colleagues are ready. You’ll get to know Rannan and his new Niffen friends Tuberros and Perisimona during the Embers of Neltharion campaign, and you’ll then assist Rannan and his small group of researchers through a new public event located in the heart of the Zaralek Cavern. His group, with the players help, will try to lift a hostile titan lockdown of a mining operation in the Sulfur Wastes, or investigate an abandoned Zaqali Djaradin ruins in the Molten Overflow.
It should require many players to defeat the powerful foes that will resist Rannan and his company as they seek to complete their objectives. The area is dangerous and the time the researchers have is limited. Players will be rewarded each week based on the highest number of objectives they complete. Completing more objectives in later scenarios will garner higher item level and greater currency rewards, but helping each time will provide some compensation and a chance for more rewards.
The scenario should begin every hour at the half-hour.
Thank you!
