Still, very weak scenario. Was really hoping we'd get to play a bigger role in the battle (as described in ToW). Blizzard, I am disapoint.

Our part as described in "ToW" is sneaking in, sabotating their air support and freeing Thalen. It's 4-5 lines.

What is this racism? Alliance gets a tabard when horde gets some mana bomb that does nothing!!!

Horde kind of get hosed on this one IMO. I'd much rather have a tabard with an on use effect than a dumb toy you can't even wear. It's not like getting the Tabard of the Protector was hard, but I still like wearing it because hardly anyone else has it anymore at this point. All my friends who I played with during vanilla have quit.

i like that loot table :S mini mana bomb - Junk................. tabard - miscellaneous

Yea, at least the Horde group's role does appear in the book (the infiltration party that freed the elf dude), the alliance actually goes against the events described in the book. Was really hoping for something a tad better, like participating in the siege or something. Oh well..

The BC event was zerg some demons coming out of a portal to get a tabard. Cataclysm was zerg more portals.

This is clearly not the 'worst' event, as those were just as engaging.

Scenario was abysmal, imo. Why the hell are we even there? How did our ship get past the huge, visible Alliance blockade? Why does no-one in Theramore care about that?

We're a 'diversion'? Considering we just destroyed half of Theramore, on our own, BEFORE the bomb hit..

Huge disappointment. Scenarios better not be like this in MoP.

i don´t care if this is for 3 or 5 ppl this scenarion is just boring !!! Low level quests are more fun then this.

can anyone explain me how the loot table works?
just done this on Alliance and Horde, and nothing dropped.
is the Mini Mana Bomb a pet, if so, how do you get it?

I'm not usually one to complain. but this was too easy. Anyone could've done that solo and there's zero rewards or lore involved. Extremely dissapointed.

It is an event according to the dictionary: noun a thing that happens, especially one of importance according to http://oxforddictionaries.com/defini..._english/event.

The point is that is a "thing" (called the fuck you want it) that happens that changes the things (we just lost an ENTIRE ALLIANCE NATION) around. It introduces us to the story and the occuring changes for our upcoming future.

Now call it what you want, the truth is it fails at everything it supposed to do.

It is not epic.
It does not give jack shit worth of lore.
It's not fun.
It's not challenging.
It's pretty much not worth your time.

So its not an event. Alright. Then even as a scenario its pathetic.

" It's not epic "
It's a scenario, designed for 3 people.

" No lore "
What instance has ever contained a lot of lore? Go on name 5 in the entire time you've been playing WoW. Unless you count like 8 words in a quest text " great lore " then I doubt you'll be able to come up with 5 examples of instances full of great lore. Maybe some minor lore, but great? I doubt it. I can admit it would of been better to have something but I doubt some 5 minute scenario could tell a convincing story.

" It's not fun "
This I can agree with. It was some what fun the first time, boring as hell the second time.

" It's not challenging "
What do you expect? It's a bloody scenario, no where did Blizzard ever say Scenario's were going to be super difficult. How can you make something difficult for 3 people in a game which is dependant upon the holy trinity?

But as I said it's only a scenario just calm down and deal with it. I never had high hopes for something that's designed for 3 people. Could a world event of been better? Yes it really could, however Blizzard said recently that they considered a two week naval battle leading into mists but opted to use that time to work further on mists. If it makes mists better overall not to have a world event then fine I can accept this.

A tabard doesn't actually do anything either.

How does it being a scenario change anything?

1. It's the first smidgeon of content we've received in half a year and

2. It's horribly below par as content. We don't care if it's not challenging, we care if it is fun and engaging or not. This skid mark wasn't.

It has an on-use that plants Theramore banner.

Just tried the farming part. Yes, you can run with same character multiple times and you'll get 168JP every time so this is easily the fastest farming place for now.

Fair nuff, so it can do the same thing as the bomb then - do something flashy. That said the tabard obviously wins heh.

I get that scenarios are meant to be short, but are they really meant to be so face roll easy that you can ignore the mechanics and succeed using only auto attack? I just hope that this has been deliberately under tuned for level 85 and that the level 90 versions will actually be a bit more difficult.

Guess you missed the memo, but Scenarios are supposed to be between solo quests and normal dungeons in terms of difficulty. They're the replacement for the old elite/group quests.

People also need to understand that they are, in most cases, 40+ ilvls over the intended target range. Even if you're just LFR geared then you're 30+ over the ilvl intended.. seriously people, settle down.

It sounds rather like those seasonal bosses - in difficulty and the lack of a lock out. But with those, I think they limited the rewards. I guess they want to help people gear up for MoP now.
