WAR (Warhammer Online)

I do believe Mythic said 12 would be the TOP required with most being 6. The king would be the ONLY 24 man encounter. I could be mistaken but I am almost positive I remember reading about that somewhere.

I have seen the 12 man hinted at but cant find a link for it

I did find this

Q:Is the King encounter an instance or an open encounter?

Quote:
The King encounter is one of the biggest exceptions to the rule of 6 men [for instances in WAR],

it's a 24 man instance.
Source (Part 2 at 5:28)

its implied that there are other exceptions - otherwise he would have said only exception

A lot of people like raids.

WoW has them.  WAR doesn't.

For a lot of people that means something.

Also, much of the critcism is based on assumptions and not facts.  Both games are very good and  can be a lot of fun.

do you mean raid 'instances' ?

WAR will definately require PvE raids. You think the Lords of Change can be taken down wtih a 6 man PUG? lol...

With all due respect, instead of having a smug reply alluding to something maybe you can provide a little more detail.  Is this a guess or do you know this as fact? 

Isn't the Lord of Change, Tzeentch, whose the leader of the Destruction faction?  That would be the king encounter on the Destruction side which everyone already knows would be a 24 man encounter.

Edit - I'm not dismissive of your point, you may have been in Closed Beta for months.  I would just like you to elaborate.

You can eat cake.   You can drink milk.

Why not eat cake and drink milk?

You can solo PvE to max level but why not enjoy all of what the game offers?

I was indeed referring to the 24 man instance you refer to.

I am also alluding to the open world Hero bosses. Just like in DaoC, there are outrageously overpowered monsters scattered around the WAR universe. There's footage of a lvl 32 being 2 shotted by a Wolf Hero on youtube, you should look it up. The bigger heroes will be very very difficult to take down.... in DaoC, sometimes it took like 400 people to take down a dragon...

There's still no hard information on lair bosses and how big a party is required.

Till there is the assumption is they are for party of 6 and scattered around the tier 4 zones.

(I suspect they may require more than six, but thats just a hunch).

There is much wisdom in words from an account so new

theres only enough pve content in wow to level to 70 once without repeating any of it and then you gotta do a billion dailies for money anyway.  war has enough pve to level at least 3 toons without repeating a bit of it at launch.  wow, you couldnt pay me enough to play it again, war god i need my warcrack cmon man ill pay anything just let me play more now!

very well said.

Well put..but the thing about WAR PvE is that when you complete it, not only do u get a reward, but the main focus is that ur helping with the War Effort, which i think is cool and makes it  more fun to PVE. Thats a good point though a bout raids. Like u said, both games have certain good points!
