When <a href="http://www.warhammeronline.com"><em>Warhammer Online</em></a> promised to greatly streamline its scenario structure and remove several of its less popular ones with the upcoming <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/war-patch-1.3.4/">patch 1.3.4</a>, the response <a href="http://grimnir.mmofansites.com/posts/1712-1-3-4-the-patch-scenarios-died">wasn't altogether positive</a>. There was a definite concern that the game was trying to mitigate its difficult times by removing one of the most fun aspects it had, which sounds like a bad idea all around. However, the developers have clearly been paying attention -- after <a href="http://forums.warhammeronline.com/warhammer/board/message?board.id=dev_discussions&amp;thread.id=5737">collecting additional feedback</a> from players and receiving plenty of input from the test server, <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/Andy-Belford/">Andy Belford</a> announced that the team was going "<a href="http://forums.warhammeronline.com/warhammer/board/message?board.id=dev_discussions&amp;thread.id=5952">back to the whiteboard</a>" for their plans on streamlining and removing scenarios.<br />
<br />
While Belford makes it clear that the ultimate goal is the same -- to remove the unused and disliked scenarios and move the lower-tier ones that are well-loved to greater accessibility -- he also says that the team was getting clear input that they'd gone too far in the wrong direction. No dates are set, but a revised scenario setup and mass stability test is planned to go live sometime next week, hopefully with a better lineup. Whether or not you're currently playing <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/Warhammer-Online/"><em>Warhammer Online</em></a>, it's always good to see developers <a href="http://forums.warhammeronline.com/warhammer/board/message?board.id=dev_discussions&amp;thread.id=5952">paying close attention to what the players want</a>.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2010/02/06/back-to-the-drawing-board-for-warhammer-onlines-scenarios/">Back to the drawing board for Warhammer Online's scenarios</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Sat, 06 Feb 2010 18:00:00 EST.
