Dungeons in GW2 -- will be any different from others?

While GW2 is doing lots of things differently Till now we only saw 1 dungeon out of 8 and its pretty much same thing as in 95% other MMORPG.
Im not talking about how its done im talking about where it is done.
It is same cave as always will we get "open world" instanses? like can't remember name in RIFT where we can see beutiful mountains, snow, grass not just dark cave (but still very limited and straight forward labyrinth).
i have feeling that GW2 must have like 5 out of 8 "dungeons" outside in a "real world" with open spaces where you can decide which boss to kill first and it will somehow affect other bosses.
Somethg new to the old system (not saying story/explorable mode is bad) maybe even somethg Similar to DEs but in a bigger scale where you must defend/free some town.
What do you think? is it only me who wants some sun in his "dungeon" experiense?
or maybe you have some ideas about new way to create dungeon?

Yea thats a fun idea. There should be some open air areas and maybe there are in GW2. I dont know.
GW2 does have traps in dungeons and seemingly a lot of them, and some fun platforming and I like that too as thats not something Im used to having in an mmo. A real use for the jump mechanic. About time.
But I dont think thats what you meant. I too would like to see some more open air.
Have you see the dungeon they added to WvW?

There are also non-instanced, hidden outdoor jumping puzzles:

Finally, there are "mini dungeons" that can be unlocked at the end of certain meta events:

(list is incomplete obviously, but I did Flame Temple Dungeons). These can be run with 1+ players and are "open".
"Loading screens" are not "instances".
Your personal efforts to troll any game will not, in fact, impact the success or failure of said game.
Yeah saw it.
i do love how they added some "puzzles" im big fun of jumping, loved Jumping to get skill point, never been in WvW jumping puzzle as cant say it is dungeon. looks like it can and will be fun way to pvp
with all the traps but will be sooo annoying to run all the time if you felt 
what the reason i got some problems with dungeons sure we havent seen even screenshos from all others but so far we saw NEW ideas in a game and a strong feeling saying its all will be the same later on same jumping / traps.
i od believe all of them will be 100% fun and dificult to finish.
Just saying we need somethg new beside caves and jumping.
For Example: "open world" Instance from starting position you have several camps around with "bosses" in them they are preparing attack on a keep/town in front of them. And here you can decide
A: go fight Camps to weaken attack (easy way)
B: Some sort of sabotage their supply/water so bosses will unite againt you or maybe special boss will come (medium)
C: talk with "neutral" npc and somehow join agressors and try to take town with them (hard)
D.2: same underground but to Find some friendly boss who will help.
Maybe not best example just a thing i can imaging right now. But idea is to have some Open spaces in instances not Labyrinths in caves with jumping puzzles only and traps which will just annoy you after time.
I imagine dungeons in GW2 being more "exploratory" and less linear than your standard MMORPG on rails dungeon. Perhaps there will even be open DE dungeons? That would make a lot of sense. WAR showed PQs to work well in dungeons, so the same would apply here.
This^, there allready are Dungeons in the game world. With boss at end and minigames/puzzles to get to the boss.
Short answer. No.

So, you've seen all the dungeons in the game????..........please, enlighten us with your knowledge!.........what!!??? You haven't???????.....thought so.

Caves, Fortresses, Buildings, Asura Lab, Floating City ...
again this guy. dont know a s**** about the game, never play it but he keep still post this ridiculous posts like he actually know anything about it
Yeah, but the Manor and and Sorrow's Embrace seem to be indoor dungeons. Don't know about the other ones. And hile i expect Arah to have some indoor parts, i'd be pretty stupid to fight Zhaitan in a closed cave
. I do wonder why devs don't make their instance outdoor like some off TSW's. It doesn't always have to be a cave.
Regarding mechnics, it seems to be the same as other mmos. Mostly trash mobs and bosses, DPS the sh** until it dies with some secondary elements to it, like the Lovers where you have to use knockbacks with skills or rocks. Or that Archer where you use long range weapons, or a rock again if you don't have any. However, i do expect a challenging run from them. I also expect some nice mechanics like that trap idea in the Catacombs in explorable mode from time to time.
all dungeon? he didnt even play the game....
Really ? Just wait until you go experience it then come back to us at a later date.

let me see, i have a Necro lvl32 on GW2...i completed the Ascalonian Catacombs dungeon on story mode
i dont know but the simple fact that you cant agro mobs make dungeons of GW2 diferent form the dungeons of others MMORPG i have played.
this was just the first dungeon on easy mode and was by far hard than other 1st dungeon i have try. trash mobs? well is a dungeon you need to have them or will just have bosses? problem is those trash mobs are much much hard that common trash mobs on other dungeons i ever play.
but wasnt you that say GW2 was just a WoW clone?
Will do. Now find something else to troll.
See my sig.... problem solved
Block the trolls, don't answer them, so we can remove the garbage from these forums
I do.......problem is when I am not signed in, they are still there.
I'd be cautious about making predictions based on nothing but experiences from what is essentially a tutorial dungeon. Fact of the matter is: we don't know yet what the other dungeons will be like.
Quote from the wiki: "Despite the name, dungeons are not strictly underground."

Let that guy alone, I saw him in every threads and in every game titles and the almost of his posts are like "same old, same old, same old, mmos these days are bored, yawnn". I am very curious if this guy hate the recent mmos so much why he waste his time to visit this website and whining over the threads everyday.
Yea I noticed it too it's why he's on my block list because his post are always the same ol same ol b/s, so predictable you know?
Also to the OP, wait till the game releases and try out the sylvari dungeon. There was a description about it, I don't know if it was pc gamer or not. Someone might have a post, any way descriptive wise it's far from the norm dungeon wise unless you lie to yourself. I'm waiting to try it out though. Can't unfortunately
I might get banned for this. - Rizel Star.
I'm not afraid to tell trolls what they [need] to hear, even if that means for me to have an forced absence afterwards.

The main problem I have with dungeons is people.
You see, in my opinion, dungeons are there to run once. Thus when I am entering the dungeon, it's for the first time. I want to take my time, to see all the corners, to check everything. To try to find how it's done...
But unfortunately I am grouped. And oh boy, here it goes... "What, are you moving or what? Run, run, run... Gogogogo! WTF are you doing? That's a dead end, don't go there. Skip the damn thing, there is just a couple of boxes there. Okay, everyone knows how to do the boss? No? What a bunch of noobz! You just do this and that and then that okay? Gogogogo! We may even have time to run it twice today, if somebody would just press their damn buttons faster!"
Bah. Sometimes I wonder why I even bother with mmorpgs anymore. It seems the only time I'm enjoying player interaction is when the player is in my scope.
You are gona have to ignore him in the future he likes spending time on this forum, but he just likes to "mess" with gw2 fans.
Have you ever consider forming a group with like minded people? Find people that share your interest and make a group around that?
I don't see that as a dungeon problem, but rather one with communities in general. Except for the rare cases when a group just clicks, must PUGs are just plain old bad.
Guilds and friends lists are my choice for grouping.
