Raiding?

MasterCrysis

anyone think this game will have Raiding in it?

im personally not a big fan of it and probably wouldn't take part in it. but i can see where people might enjoy it.

 

if they do have it, i can't see them doing it like WoW. Bioware has stressed that there main focus on the game is story telling and making your character THE hero. needing 20 or 40 people to kill 1 NPC, just doesn't give a *THE hero* feeling to it.

 

maybe i can see some instance grouping, like 5 people running an instance like some would with Tabula Rasa.(more like 3 people in TR though)

 

im just speaking out loud. they have to have some grouping. im sure of that they will. the question is what kind?

 

warcraft story and lore, while having heroes in it, the player never created a character that played the role of Illidan or any other Hero. instead, the player created a character that played the role of a simple foot soldier that you would have created in warcraft 3.

SW:TOR is focused on your character and your characters story. you are the Hero or equivalent to Revan (ie..Illidan from warcraft equivalent)etc in the story.

i just can't see the 20+ person raids happening in this game.

 

(i only use WoW as a comparison since so many have played it and have something to relate to)

The only thing I can remember them saying is their end-game will NOT be like WOW. What that means i don't know. Hopefully raiding as we know it today will not be in this game, but some people dig it. And as long as it doesnt start wars over the ways to obtain the best gear, i have no problem with them adding it. I think there are better ways to keep people playing than addiction though.
