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.[4] – Jeffrey Bard
Half the problem won't just be solving the dungeon, it will be solving other players too.[6] – Jeffrey Bard
Dungeon difficulty will increase the further a player ventures into the dungeon.[9]
- Mobs and mob mechanics will become more difficult.[9]
- Terrain and environmental dangers will increase.[9]
Deeper darker types of interactions will be found deeper in the dungeon.[9] – Steven Sharif
There are approximately 6 or 7 dungeons in Alpha-1.[10]
- One will almost be raid-level difficulty.[10]
