Official Warhammer site unveils a dungeon: The Bastion Stair
We've long wondered about the PvE content of the upcoming Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning. While an ongoing series of articles has expanded on information about the game's PvP instanced mini-games, the dungeons of WAR have remained a mystery. No longer. The official site has up an in-depth look at The Bastion Stair, a gruesome locale deep in the lands of Chaos. Penned in by the Rift of Rage, a portal to some far-flung Chaos dimension, the edifice is a testament to the skull god Khorne.
Players from Order will brave the depths of this fresh hell to retrieve a near-mythical artifact. The forces of Destruction, meanwhile, simply want to raise their own flag above the entrenched forces already inside the keep ... under orders from Tchar'zanek himself. The locale sounds as though it is a winged affair, with three different paths offering different experiences to players hoping for loot and glory. Especially intriguing is the site's admission that there are several different kinds of dungeon coming in the game: "Realm-instanced, group-instanced and warband-instanced."
We'll hopefully explore what these terms mean in the future on Massively. In the meantime, make sure to click over to the site to see a video fly-through of the incredible Bastion Stair complex.
