With the auto muzzle foiled (http://forums.massivehq.com/showthread.php?t=3522), TenTonHammer's RadarX continues his interview (http://www.tentonhammer.com/node/33937) with Kevin O'Hara.Ten Ton Hammer: What is your ideal end game? Obviously you won't have giant raids with huge dragons to fight.
Kevin O'Hara: There are a couple of answers to that and the most obvious one that a lot of people would say is PvP. Making sure we have a lot of good challenges and different types of maps that players can invest their time in and climb leaderboards. We'll have some raid type encounters, it'll be analogous to what you see in the other MMO's but there won't be the big huge dragon that takes 40 people. There will be missions that are predictably hard that you'll need to get several groups together.
Other than that a lot of it is improving your score so you can play through the entire story mission and get Bronze level. This will be fairly easy. I want to make it so the casual FPS player that doesn't have superb twitch skills can progress through our game and not feel stymied.
If you want to get the gold results on the missions which giv additional rewards you are probably going to have play it through a couple of times. Either that or you'll have to go back later when you have better weapons or a bigger group.
Great stuff, makes me want the game now.
