[dev1031]New High Level Notorious Monsters Please

[syntaxlies]

It seems like the world of MMOs in the late 2000s are dead worlds -- Instances everywhere is the same as playing a local Co-Op game, it doesn't feel like an MMO since your community interaction would be narrowed down to cities and dungeon lobbies. I really don't get what's wrong with having a lively MMO world, even playing games with high population counts it still feels like a dead MMO because there's almost zero reason to be in the overworld aside a random roaming boss or two, the majority of the game takes place in your personal instance playground or a PvP arena.

For example everyone has a shot at everything open world, 'elite players' holding down something is just something that happens in all MMOs, even more so in PvP based MMOs.

why does everyone think it has to be one or the other, there can be multiple methods of content. the strongholds arent instanced are they? JC, they want to add instanced dungeons and every screams bloody murder, its only a portion of the content.

Same thing is said about open world NMs, not just instanced content

I'd say ive seen more ppl complain and screen bloody murder over open world content than instanced content.

I don't think anyone really has a problem with instanced content, but some of us want open world content as well, which, a lot of ppl seem to be against. Either because they might not get he item they want cause someone else is campin the NM or they already assume there will be a 24 hour spawn timer. There needs to be both types of content and even a cross between the two, with BiS gear coming from all sorts of different content.

what, there are 1000's of post about people complaining about they dont want instanced content. My argument was for a balance of both which is why i didnt understand your comment. there needs to be a variety.

It is the main content. Nothing of note will come from open world NMs. All of the best gear will come from instanced raids. Once a strat has been released for instanced content, it gets farmed to death and everyone has the same gear. The player base becomes homogenised.
