It is possible to max every chapter solo. It is obviously not the most enjoyable way to do a PQ but you gain really good INF just by grinding out stage 1. Sometimes late at night I kinda enjoy having a PQ to myself to be honest. Good INF, and good money.

If they did cross-server scenarios, I would quit this game. Getting the queue's pop up has nothing to do with the size of the pool of people queueing for it. It is all about the destruction to order ratio. If they find a way on how to deal with this, then there shouldn't be any problems with queues.

Pretty sure they are largely there for flavour, many of the humanoids will have conversations with other npcs. Also as stated, some will unlock ToK elements. Others are just there to be the big bad ass mob you avoid as you are picking off quest mobs. The game is definitely better off for their presence.

Also, Ive gotten plenty of blue drops and greens from hidden and out of the way champions. Pretty sure they have higher chance of loot drop, also you will generally get a higher level of gathering item through butchering or scavanging.

Yea, it'd definately be overkill with the current spawn mechanism (which itself can be a bit overkill for solo'rs/healers). Ultimately, I'm just a selfish prick. While they do add a bit of ambience to the world as a whole, I could give fuck all until they start adding ambience to my inventory

Were you getting NPC specific loot from those champions or just a higher chance of the world drops? Regardless, thanks for the head's up; may have to start going out of my way to introduce them to my WE's taco-flavored kisses again.

Yes, but in 3 months there aren't going to be enough of either side to start scenarios in every bracket, that is what they're talking about.

What is the default pathway for installing addons? Trying to load up BuffThrottle, but its not showing any addons when I log in. Using \Warhammer Online\Interface\AddOns\ for the pathway to where I'm extracting the BuffThrottle folder, but its not showing up.

They've mentioned somewhere, from Mythic, that there will never be cross-server Scenarios. They want each realm to feel like it is it's own. I wouldn't want x-server scenarios anyway.

Make sure you delete your Beta shit entirely. This was my problem. For some reason the Beta directory was where it was attempting to pull the AddOns from.

I highly recommend the curse client. It is the easiest way to find mods and install them. Also, you have the manually create the Interface/AddOns folder if you havnt already.

Already created the Interface/AddOns folder. Am I just plain screwed as far as using mods if I'm using the patched beta client still?

Can someone point me to a guide on how to install add ons? I have never used one.

So essentially picking up the kill X / run A scenario = xp, but you only get those two and it doesn't matter which warcamp you got them from. To go even further, allow you to turn it in at ANY warcamp.

Well yeah, I think that was what was suggested. If there was 2 quests per bracket, kill 15, do scenario. And you could turn them in at any warcamp. Obviously doing 6 quests would be stupid.

I would like to point out that in the short time Warhammer has been on the FoH forums radar the general warhammer threads have well 15k posts and almost 2million views....daaaaaaam.

Then they can merge servers.

There are already multiple quest givers in game that give out the same quest, and when you accept from one the others don't offer it. No reason they couldn't do that for scenarios.

Edit: now that I think about it they already do: every Raven Warscout in T1 offers the same quest for Nordenwatch.
