Instanced DG boss levels
Quite a lot of ramble going on in all chat, I figured I would start this thread so that people can determine the pro's and con's.
First off if you instance the entire DG, someone can just do 1 DG over and over again, and it would be very broken. If you make every DG like the UZ, where every level leading up to boss levels is not instanced and then the boss level is. I think players would be less worried about someone camping.
This would also mean that once you do the boss dg, you would have to exit the dg and do another one, and you would not have the ability to camp the last level (because it is instanced).
edit: Or there would be a lockout of 30 minutes, so that you cant just jump to the previous level and re-squad and jump back in. Also you want to have the ability to jump back so you can do the branch DGs.

Re: Instanced DG boss levels
Currently, instancing a galaxy means it has to be a custom galaxy.
Instancing is also evil, not very MMO-y at all. Jey hates it as well.

Re: Instanced DG boss levels
Then Oly should not be instanced then! Anyone who wants Zeus Loot should fight with pb's Narwhal over it!

I don't agree with instanced DGs but I do think that the DG ubers should have their own custom gals with AIs in the same ship as them in the levels (with a mixture of different weapons). E.g Izers in the first levels with Reaver lasers or Titan Lasers, something random but deadly for Sputtys DG. Or Wattages multifiring Jijis for James Watt, that kind of thing.

Re: Instanced DG boss levels
i honestly think the only thing in this game worth instancing is the oly boss warps it self everything else does should be not instance and people should have to fight over it. and yeah instancing is very un-mmo like.

On the other hand it spoils what little 'atmosphere' there may be if you have to wait for mini boss spawns because someone else got there first. It'd be more fun if players were shoved into an arena and forced to kill ever increasing numbers of randomly assorted AI spawns.

Re: Instanced DG boss levels
Fight over ubers in oly? That would be possible if only real man ( or women) played the game and not pussies. There are enough assholes in game that would spawn ares warriors and cyclops on ur ass just because they can't kill you properly.

Re: Instanced DG boss levels
Make the spawned AI only aggro to who spawned them?

Re: Instanced DG boss levels
Or, you know, push another squad 10k out of the ring in Ares? It would possibly be OK to have Lemnian Fields not instanced but other than that this would be bad.

Re: Instanced DG boss levels
DGs aren't made like that, and can't be instanced.
