Awesome thus game sounds great!

[ocktos]

no, idk how people are playing telephone with this... but there's 4 game modes..... Co-op which is 4 players only = instanced based PVE PVP Team death match 8 vs 8 PVP Capture Control 16 v 16 pvp Shadow-wars is 64v64 = only 2 teams.... not 8 different teams of 8 fighting each other....

[TGD Ghost]

So in Co-op you can be with 4 people but can there be more on the sever, I've been reading there could be Thousands. Is that True?

[ocktos]

Shadow-wars is the only PVP that doesn't take place in a instance.. it will take place in the world.... it will be a combination of all the game modes, to push team-play and tactics. since it will be 64vs64... and the game is a 3rd person shooter first, they don't force players to strictly play shadow-wars... you can opt out to play the more common player experience of the 16v16 or 8v8 style of matches

Shadow War - will have haulers / Cerberus - mobile spawn trucks / halo type warthogs

16v16 capture - Cerberus / ATV's - medium size maps

8v8 TDM - NO Vehicles permitted

There can be thousands on the server.

You can only group with 4 players for questing open world. 4 players for co op. instances ( think of it like a dungeon ) and then the pvp ( instance ala mp on static maps like most games , or shadow war which can happen anywhere on the open world ( think of this as a dynamic event which you have to opt into )

[TGD Ghost]

So will you be able to see all the other players in the world?

[ocktos]

do you mean the open world.... which is basically.... 10,000 server side co-op? in that case then ya you can group with up to 4 players, but you don't have to be in a group with them to do missions in the server side world.... unless its a solo/story arc mission - Heavy dialog

but you can invite your friends into your shard.... or server... you may not always be playing on each others shard.. but you can pull friends over

[ocktos]

if you happen to play with 4 or more friends.... form a group.... and make them " Go to Leader " to enter your shard.... drop them and add your next friend rinse and repeat... and you'll have 2O+ of your friends standing next to you... you may not all be able to communicate via headset... so i highly recommend Usb keyboard or Chat pad

[gryste]

Well if there was 1000 peeps all in one place no you wouldn't be able to see them all, the server is broken into shards. This means peeps are on the same server but may not be on your world. It helps with lag . If you have played gw2 they do it this way too.
