WAR (Warhammer Online)

J/K

I have not heard very much about PVE. Are there going to be a few dungeons?

I like a good dungeon crawl every now and then with friends.

Not sure If any of you can share this info do to the NDA but any info would be cool.

Level required?

Group size?

6mans/raids ?

Thanks

yes, all kinds of levels, small groups, 6 mans yes, king raids.

Dungeons will not be instanced as many people as anyone wants can join a dungeon kinda like a public dungeon but the boss is instanced to your group whatever the size limit or lvl limit If any at all.  Im sure there may be some type of special 6man dungeons.

There are going to be some dungeons.  At last check both of the cities will have 3 dungeon within them and I'm sure there will be more of them throughout the world.  No idea about level requirements but as for raids except for the king battles and RvR in general I wouldn't expect to many of them.  Mythic isn't really a fan of time sinks.

If you haven't seen it yet, check out the vid of the Bastion Stair on the main site. That's probably a "raid", though the largest "raids" (besides the King fight) will be one group, which is 6 people. It looks like one of the end-game PvE things though (looks impressive no matter what level it is!)

There is PvE and quite a bit of it really. Raids, huge bosses, hard bosses, easy bosses, PUBLIC QUESTS (big deal), quests, tome of knowledge. It has everything you could hope for.

I'm hoping Mythic takes a hint and does full end-game raids with a maximum of about 24 players, hopefully less than that.

However, lowering that cap will make those raids seem like instances, which will be then used by pugs, which really isn't the point of end-game PvE (tactics, strategies, countless attempts, bag of chips and bottle of coke set up by your computer, other computer set up with loot from the next boss and your current DKP).

However, it would be nice if they had some sort of in-game DKP system that guilds could atler and tailor to their specifics needs/wants.

No, that's what Mythic is trying to move away from and why it won't kill WoW. Alot of people, for whatever reason, like what you described. Now, I'm not saying there won't be strategy and skill required to kill a boss. It's just it won't take as many people. When you only have 6 (besides the King fight) you don't have to wait for the other 19 people to get on, or come back from the bathroom, or this, or that, and you won't have to go through the trouble of finding replacements if people don't show up or have to leave in the middle.

The sense of accomplishment is still there, except on a smaller, more viable and more realistic scale. Honestly, WoW's raids made me feel like I was a little doll in a doll house. Everything was huge and to think it would take 25 of us little tiny action figures to kill a giant robot 20 stories high made me feel insignificant.

.

I personally would've loved to see a few raids popping up besides the Kings in latter patches, but I understand this isn't the direction Mythic wants to take their game.

PS. Anyone that describes raiding as waiting for 30 mins for everyone to get online doesn't have a clue... Stop using pugs and find a decent guild ;)
