Instance/Non-Instance
-
I did a search on the forums and found a lot of debates about the topic but none by devs, or stating if the game goes one way or the other.
Do we know if the game will have instance content, or not, yet?

@prometheus said in Dungeons & Guild info?:
Hi @CommissarVodka! Dungeons, like the rest of the world, are going to be accessible by any player at any time. There are going to be no "private instances" of any kind. I'd call it the "old school" way rather than the "recent mmos" way, although it's a fact the old school is coming back
There's also the labyrinth which I believe is instanced.
-
asteroids will be instanced and the dungeon as stated above. but the rest shouldn't be instanced.
-
Asteroids are instanced in the sense that they're not part of the same play space as the other worlds, but they're not privately instanced which is usually the implication with "instanced."

i assume them to be private dungeons.

I imagine these asteroids as small islands different from each other in appearance as in the resources to be found, and logically with many aliens. muahahahahaha

@jetah Asteroids aren't private.
Summary: They're temporary extra-planetary areas that are variable in just about all parameters but have a theme. They can last from a few hours to a week and can be a one off appearance or reoccur at intervals that vary from weeks to yearly. They can be accessed from planets that are considered "nearby" through "events, rituals, and fantasy procedures" and they offer alternative ways to get certain resources and guilds will likely compete over them.
-
Yeah, the Labyrinth is the only thing I expect to be instanced here. Asteroids are fully covered in being 'instanced' only in that they are separate from the normal worlds. AKA, everyone who goes to an asteroid should be able to see each other.
I do expect they will have some timing with asteroids and/or different asteroids for different purposes though. For example, there might be one that anyone can access (expect PvP). There might also be one that only beast-people or their visitors could access. Etc.

@jairone
interesting, i assumed it was private instances.
-
@jetah Yeah, Target linked the appropriate info, but in general asteroids are more of a space where they can do different limited time things it seems. So anything from PvP events to odd PvE or PvX Holiday asteroids could be possible.

@jairone
i figured that, but really thought it'd be personal (or group/raid) private instance.
