perhaps a few underworlds or PvE events with that... But I hope no "game mode" or so, because it's a MMO .... not a singleplayer / few players co-op. So if Last Stand then HUUUUGE scale with a few hundreds of people, etc.
You have heard about there being pve content as well, right? You will not be forced to play that content with others.
To who were you referring to? If it was to me, then all I am saying is it should be in a very big-scale and not like in DoW2 where only 3 players play together. It is after all a MMO, and making something like this where you do not even need a squad (6-10 ppl) then why even make a MMO? Could be a good single player game.... Because this is what went wrong with Star Wars: The Old Republic
yes, I was replying to you. MMO yes, but I never got the impression that the dungeons were going to be for huge masses of players only. I would definitely enjoy them more if I could play at least some of them with just my own friends.
Seriously, on a list of things that went wrong with Star Wars: TOR, I wouldn't rate that in a particularly high position. I'd personally suggest a middle ground, with variants for different size groups, getting progressively harder and with progressively greater reward. MMOs don't have to tailor all content for large groups, or expect players to spend the entire game grouped. Being able to do things solo, or with 1-2 people at most, is no bad thing for those times at idiot o'clock of day when you're online with no guildmates. Or for unguilded people getting started.
I understand that, that is more strike-team / dungeon raid level. But LAST STAND events should be in larger scales *also that way you can make it more epic* which kinda remembers me in Global Agenda. There you needed for such events 3 teams, each team 6 players. Usually you make dungeon raids in like 6 man groups, but for those kick-ass missions you needed 18
I get the sneaking suspicion and distinct feeling that some of the PvE content in this game will be like Exterminatus in Space Marine. Although Exterminatus wasn't massive scale, it was 5 players versing hordes of enemies in a progressive style "last stand" scenario, where when you defeated all the waves on one map, you move to the next and it got increasingly harder, I found it a lot more enjoyable than Last Stand. Last Stand in DoW2 was a result of the devs attempting to try something new using a (at the time) popular community made game type as it's base and applying it to a game which had a very limited scope for variety, they pretty much threw every feature they had available in the game into it, but it was still restricted to "one map per game" "you can only select one 'mode' for everything, which meant, if items can be switched out in menu, they can't in game, no options for variety of spawns at different times or amounts without a base etc etc". As moddable as the Dawn of War games were, Relic's game engine was rather limited in what it could do at the time, they spent a long time rebuilding it for CoH2.
Personally, I love survival gameplay. In dow2 last stand I have almost all character at level 20 and I average about 500+ kills per game as the Hive tyrant, wish it was easier to find a game though. More on topic, I would like to see some kind of pve survival mode, but I'd rather that you can at least attempt it by your self, rather than, it being recommended to have X amount of players and not letting you attempt it unless you have that many. Sure, you'd get smashed if you tried to solo but its fun to try and see how far you get sometimes.
