You’ve mentioned a lot about Ashes having a lot of PvP and PvE content, what can we expect about the raiding in Ashes?
In order to have a good blend, making the game from a PvE perspective really diverse and engaging. Need to have a strong PvE game if you’re going to make PvP matter
Large focus on epic raids, 40 main raid groups taking out epic world bosses
Having problem solving play a role, not just zerging content
Need to have very specific/strategic gameplay for these raids/dungeons
Will be very in-depth and community centric, content for different group sizes.
Nice, I was wondering if their were going to be raids. I play Black Desert, that game has no raids. Can't wait to jump back into a MMO that has raiding. I hope the raiding is actual instances that has mobs/bosses that have mechanics and not hack and slash "World Bosses" that they consider a raid.
I liked the original WoW dungeon design with 40, 20 and 5 man instances. Could've even been some 50 or even 60 man raids for me personaly. I also like open PvE dungeons/raids, but those are prone to griefing and shouldn't be the main focus.
As for PvP, it should be the other way 'round: Open PvP in a dynamic RvR-system with some griefing restrictions, like a flagging-system if you're too deep behind enemy lines. I can't stand instanced PvP, makes me feel like I'm playing an arena shooter. As I understand it there will be no factions in AoC, I wonder how that will affect PvP/RvR.

A mixture of both instanced and OPEN world raids would be a awesome.
Open world will really get some competitive encounters with guilds fighting for certain mobs (also let guILDS COCKBLOCK RAID MOBS)
