Hey guys! I am pretty much excited of WAR and will certaintly try it! But i was wondering, will there be pve instances in the game? Like 5man, 10man or something? I know i will love it for its pvp, but i think some basic pve wouldnt hurt too!

    I'm not sure whether it will be instanced or not, but there will definitely be PvE.

    They've talked about having both an unclean one and a bloodthirster that you can battle (Huge monsters).

    Also, when you raid a capital city, I'm almost certain you get to fight the ruler of that city (Malekith definitely wouldn't go down without a fight.)  So there's prolly gonna be dwarf king, Emperor Karl Franz, Gazbag and Grumlock, whoever the new choas champion is, Malekith and prince Tyrion to fight in PvE.

    I remember watching a video about this.. I think Mythic are doing instance dungeons and also open dungeons too but they wont be crazy 40 man raids probally 20 or less..

    I hope they wont make instances in WAR. In WoW i really miss meeting people in an instance to merge groups and continue together. Instances make games feel like multiplayer instead of MMO style.

    If I remember right they said that "parts" of the dungeons will be instanced.  So I'd expect the majority of dungeons to be open, until you get in them to the point where there's a boss, then I would expect the boss fight to be instanced. 



    This cuts down on the problems of respawn timers, and being outmatched, since they could then scale the boss fights to the group that enters, or they could have a minimum group requirement.



    This would also cut down on training bosses/large monsters.



    This is all just speculation, but it sounds sane enough.

    You mean victory points in rvr?  Because I haven't heard about the balance of exp in pvp and pve.

    WAR will have pve and pvp at the same time. You can hunt in pve areas or pvp areas. As for instances, Paul Barnett has told that the game will be full of pve, pvp, rvr and instances. But there isn't any exact word on Gameshop on how will instances will be.

    They have said that the 'typical' stuff we've come to expect from a modern MMORPG will be in the game.

    PvE Instances seem like they're becoming an accepted norm so I wouldn't be surprised to see them in the game.  We just don't have any specifics on stuff like that yet.

    As long as they dont force us full blooded pvpers into the carebear dungeons just to compete I'm fine with it. But if they get like all the rest of these MMOs forcing pvpers to raid PvE dungeons for loot.... Anyway they did promise this wont be a raidfest but posts like this make me flinch / twitch with bad memories from other raidfest MMOs.
