WAR's PvE content?

I've been watching those videos and looking Warhammer's site but I haven't found any info about the PvE. I know that WAR will be game focused towards PvP but I like PvE too so it just sucks if WAR doesn't have a good PvE in it.

    PvE will be present in WAR. much at start, and less and less as you progress but will be there even at the very end.

    They have said there will be a few dungeons with big guys inside and plenty of quests.



    They actually highlighted at least 3 types of PvE quests, Public quests, Choice quests and Christmas quests.

    The first are region based and are given to everybody that happens to be there. Everybody can partecipate ... or not as they please.



    The quest has many phases and every time you fulfill one, the quest proceed to the next until some kind of reward is achieved. at that point the quest reset and you can start from scratch again if you want. You are rewarded in proportion of how much you did in the quest itself.



    Choice quests are the usual quests but with the variation that you can choose what do do in them, so there will be multiple endings to them.



    Christmas quests are secret quests scattered in the wilds that will reward the explorer types as they will be hard to find and give bigger rewards in relation to your effort

    WAR will have a good amount of PvE content via a quest based system similar to WoW and other MMO's. The difference is that even the PvE quests will relate to the war at hand. Everything in this game is about war and battle so there won't be many "go kill 20 wolves and bring me their tails" quests. The PvE quests will be competitive with the other side without actually fighting them. One example that the devs gave of how the PvE content will work and relate to the larger struggle goes something like this.



    In the Greenskins vs. Dwarfs area, there will be a low level quest where a group of Dwarf miners were injured in a cave in. As a Dwarf player, your quest will be to go to the cave with a supply of beer, and use it to help revive the miners.



    As a Greenskin player, your quest will be to go the cave and cut the Dwarf's beards off as a symbol of your tenactiy/because it's fun and humiliating to a Dwarf to be shaved.



    There will always be a running tally of quest objectves (beer vs. beards in this case) and these will help your side gain victory points towards controlling the area in question, in this case the Tier 1 areas.



    Hope that helps.

    If you search around enough, you'll find mention somewhere of a PvE instance somehow involving The Great Unclean One of Nurgle. Hmm it might of been on IGN or Gamespot.

    Come to think of it, for a primarily PvP game, the idea of Choice and Public quests are a refreshing change from these boring linear quests that devs keep pumping out now-a-days...

    On another note about quests, I read somewhere (A long while ago mind you, so it mightn't be right anymore) that some skills might be a reward from a quest. The exact article made mention of working for the 'Rat Catchers'. In turn, this would give you a skill that gave you a minor damage increase against Skaven NPCS.

    I know for a fact on one of the videos that one of the developers has said basically 'If you want to go through the game doing only PvP you can, if you want to go through the entire game doing only PvE, you can'

    I actually hate levelling by doing quests, they're so damn annoying imo. or atleast 90% of them have been annoying in every mmorpg so far
