Tower of Carphin - What do you want to see and expect?

Curious what people will expect to see and what they might want to see as well? Unsure of the level they will start at, I'm guessing it will be 15-30 since they have not shown the full classes that unlock at lvl 35. Which I'm guessing they are doing it to show some more group level gameplay, maybe new class and dungeon mechanics for around that level.

So as the title what kinds of things do you guys think you will see, and want to see in terms of difficulty, mechanics, gear drops, etc.

I would like to see group pvp. How does the layout of the dungeon facilitate when groups meet each other, in both friendly and non-friendly manners.

Also, does the dungeon allow for groups of different levels to enter and participate in dungeoneering? Like, maybe the higher floors will be for higher levels. How does a high level group skip the lower level content?

I don't expect to have any interesting boss fights, but it would be cool to see something that's more than just a tank & spank and don't stand in the fire.

Group pvp would be a good question. I know awhile back i had a suggestion where door closes so people can fight a boss without being attacked as well before getting to a higher level.

tbh the biggest thing i want from AoC is non linear dungeons much akin to say the everquest dungeons

Here a map for one as you can see there alot of locations of bosses each with specific loot so you can set a group up in an area and pull to a room (Only possible with long or no leash lines however) or move around to bosses to bosses. I think the old school dungeons were more entertaining thats the follow a set path to the end boss that we see now since it always the same experience every time without any unpredicability you got in the old school games where u could gets adds pull to many get a random patrol or runner they were less predicable and more explorative than the ones we see in games now.

Some even had fake walls/floors/painful traps and so on were u can fall though and end up in a lower depth with no way back up without finding a new escape path or teleporting out if u had that option.

Finding a hidden passage through a fake wall for the first time was a omg kinda moment too back in the EQ days and u just wanted to explore it now that being said we come a long way since those days and you could make these much more interesting like finding buttong or doing puzzle to open up new passages and things.

you could even introduce new thing to the game via dungeons lets say crossbows since that was brought up in last livestream what if you introduced new weapon by hiding them in a random dungeon behind a puzzle and the moment a player solve thats and aquires that weapon (or crafting recipe and once it made) there might be a technological advancement in the world where crossbows start to drop off mobs or crafting weapons drop and so on. So this weapon would be dormant on the server until it been discovered for the first time by somone stumbling across something hidden. (can add achievment too here).
I think adding new thing to the server by adding secret new thing to dungeons and not tell players about it being added so it a omg kinda moment when it been found would be great.

I would like to know where the Tower is on the map, due to its impact on the economies of nearby nodes.

its roughly here on the map the gate icon east of the eastern lake around that area, overlayed the mini map and the world map together to get those locations and the assumption is the gate is the dungeon icon (So under the D in riverlands roughly) which would be most likely the tower.
the fort walls are most likely nodes aswell

I have 0 expectations. There are 100 things I'd love to see but I'm just going to watch what is shown without the burden of expectations. (Although, a few new abilities would be cool

)

I guess I'm expecting to see/hear them talk about encounter design.

It would be nice if they either showed another class or filled out the class kits some more. Also would be cool to see some environmental hazards and/or utility skills.

Songcaller

Might see a party of 8 for the dungeon. I don't expect all 8 classes but we might see mage return.

Orbificator

I fully expect a simple walkthrough of a dungeon meant for 8 people but only done with 4. Basically the tank showcase but in the Tower. Will show off some new armor, kill a boss, and end the video.

What I'd hope for is actually having 8 people. Maybe a tease of either bard or summoner.

Why did you have to show me this tweet lol

This was previously mentioned, but some clarification was provided on Twitter for the Carphin livestream, which can be found here:

In my opinion, the pace of development has either greatly decreased or has become smeared with a very thin layer. For me, a walk around the dungeon does not carry any interesting information, it all looks like a filer. I remember how much I saw with SC where they showed us how cool the thrusters of ships work. In fact, 3 months have passed since the beginning of the year, and we can conclude that this year there is simply nothing to test in the game. At the moment, classes are being prototyped and the game world is being filled with content, which, as I understand it, is a very long process.

Ludullu

Some details about the dungeon.

Songcaller

Sounds good. I imagine fighting on the broken bridges and in the doorway lol.

Ok, this makes me a bit hyped and somewhat hopeful. Though obviously that's just copium talking.

nope, too broad, non specifics are made to sound cool, but skirt around giving you anything REALLY cool. Cool the copium injections

Combined with the confirmation from Stephen himself that they will not be giving us any detail but rather "a brief glimpse" regarding the dungeon, there is really not much too expect.

and using words/phrases like "functionality, real time sequencing and zone transitions", to describe the next livestream indicates that they won't have much to actually show us, apart from general technical information that correlates to those words.
