    Scenario quest tracking interface
    Bug #: 7804

    Status: Fixed
    I've just ran the newly released Theramore scenario. The standard interface shows a nice header for the scenario and its stage, under which the objectives are listed. A similar interface for QG Tracker would be very nice and pretty much required as well, since the scenario is not really playable without the objectives visible.

    I personally like the interface that Blizzard made: it's clear and shows exactly where you are, what you're doing and what the objectives are. I'd therefore suggest the following for QG Tracker:
    - when a scenario starts, do not show any normal quests on the QG trackers;
    - expand the QG quest or combined tracker if it is shown and folded;
    - at the top of the quest or combined tracker: place a header over 3 rows showing the scenario and its stage;
    - track the objectives below that.
    That would ensure having the objectives visible and kind of mimicks the interface of Blizzard. I'm not sure the 3-row header is doable, but I think it'd be stylish to have. Not tracking any other quests would make sense, IMHO: you're not going to complete them while in the scenario, anyway. Quests that were tracked and shown before the scenario started should of course be tracked and shown again when the scenario ends.

    As a temporary work-around to have scenarios function while QG has not incorporated them, you could automatically enable the Blizzard tracker while the player is inside a scenario. This might actually be an option to QG Tracker, as well: show Blizzard interface during scenarios.

    I've sent a PM with the links to the patch that I wrote. That patch implements this very idea.

    For people who want to run scenarios now: enable the blizzard tracker next to QuestGuru's tracker.
