Return of Reckoning

From what I've heard they're coming at some point. But not necessarily soon.

If its a possible goal to bring back the dungeons, ill stick around then

Obviously it is a goal to get all instances running, but before that happens the technology for proper AI, mobskills and events need to be created first. When the tool from the Devs is finished our dear Database guys can start to populate dungeons with mobs that are a bit more challenging than the tank&spank mobs we have right now. Also most dungeons have some form of events in some battles which need to be working as well. Looking at all this stuff and keeping in mind that this has to be made from scratch on a coding as well as ingame basis, should let you know already that it will take quite some time.

If I get my hands on the Dungeon Mobs we will see some dark souls boss-fights going on... Prepare to get slaughtered!

i know that much, was meaning if it would be a close to soon as a next step in progressing with the alpha. Hoping they work on AI soon, taunting npcs seems to do nothing etc.

ha cant wait to try the new and improved dungeons!

When the tool is ready PQs will be much easier to get re-worked too.

Since this topic keeps being brought up, I will share current state of instance development. I wanted to recreate original instance experience from live servers, to accomplish this, instances must have complexity to them that Ror servers currently does not support (things such as complex PQs, complex monster behavior, aggro, pathing, animations, and scripted effects/sounds).

I am creating a new development tool that would allow our team to recreate original instances and add new ones with relatively little coding experience.

Here is a very early build of the Instance Builder
