Dungeon

Alpha-0 Dünir Dünheim dungeon design by Michael Bacon.

Alpha-1 dungeon concept by Michael Bacon.

Dungeon in Ashes of Creation will range in size and will be mostly open-world.

• Open-World dungeons will be populated to facilitate multiple groups within the dungeon.
  • 80% of dungeons will be open world.
• Instanced dungeons will also be present and will cater for solo and group questlines.
  • 20% of dungeons will be instanced.

There are going to be smaller, simpler, linear dungeons. There's going to be bigger, more complex, nonlinear dungeons. So, It's a little bit of both. We want the environment to be a character. In order for the environment to be a character, these places need to be interesting and there needs to be a dynamicism to them. – Jeffrey Bard

Half the problem won't just be solving the dungeon, it will be solving other players too. – Jeffrey Bard

Dungeon difficulty will increase the further a player ventures into the dungeon.

• Mobs and mob mechanics will become more difficult.
• Terrain and environmental dangers will increase.

Deeper darker types of interactions will be found deeper in the dungeon. – Steven Sharif
