Well As long as they sort out the rotation that will be greatI've only played Thunder Valley (rubbish) Serpents Pass (I quite like it but its 95% of my T4 scenario experience) Logrins Hammer (so-so) and Grovod Caverns (quite good but the wall textures hurt my eyes and stupid collapsible bridges which don't make sense) The teleport scrolls looks completely useless, except for your alts. Adding xp to battlefield objectives, well it should have always been there but it won't help open RvR unless the rewards are significant especially when compared to scenarios and maybe not even then. The biggest improvement they could make to RvR is have a level 40 only queue which would allow you to play on all scenario maps in the game, I miss Tor Anroc and Phoenix Gate.

Kazok, there's no need for zones to flip the moment all objectives are held. It can be a slow trickle of victory points for each that you control, just like in scenarios such as Nordenwatch. That would give folks more of an incentive to hold objectives and Keeps in open RvR, instead of running off to look for the next undefended one. What they're planning to do will make it impossible for underpopulated sides, even ones more skilled than their enemy faction, to hold out against greater numbers. Thanks for the link, Arbitrary!

The victory points from scenario queuing is necessary, otherwise people could just not queue for scenarios in contested zones that are near to being controlled by the enemy to prevent them from being captured. The other option of course would be to completely discount scenarios from zone control and have zones rapidly go into a controlled state once all objectives and keeps are held.

Perhaps that's why they don't usually run, because there are other scenarios that have a smaller start number?
