New Player Experience: Reward Scenarios

[LordBraxton]

Just wanted to contribute, I enjoyed this game for a bit back in 2020 during the covid spike and just gave it another try.

I feel like as a new player the flow of progression is kind of a mess, and the focus on open world RvR over scenarios really hurts right now. I get that RvR open world stuff is a unique experience that some people may enjoy, but from what I have seen it is mostly zergs fighting and often one side is outnumbered. T1 open world was the only fun part so far.

When I played in 2020 scenario queues popped reliably. This was the meat of the game. You actually get balanced team numbers in a mode where the fights are small enough that your contribution feels meaningful. They were a ton of fun, and what I wanted to come back to. The queue times now are brutal, and I was shocked when I figured out that's because most of the population is doing RvR. Then I realized the renown gain was much higher in RvR.

Sadly this will probably turn my small group away again soon, but I feel like we would have stuck around.

TLDR: I think scenarios need to be buffed in terms of rewards, by a lot, so that people will queue and folks have something to do who dont want to ride around in giant zergs.
