can I get a brief description of what it's like, and even compare it to wow if you can since I play/played wow.

right this second I'm in my very first Expert level 50 dungeon (equiv to a heroic)

Regular dungeons are pretty similar to the standard wow formula, big layout with lots of pulls, a few bosses.

Graphically they're way superior to wow, I feel like they all have that "deadmines" feel of going through multiple worklds. *THEY ARE NOT ALL CAVES*

Boss mechanics so far have pretty pretty diverse, and not too complex to explain easily.

Dungeons take anywhere from half an 10 mins (farming group, short dungeon, experienced) to an hour+ (learning, longer dungeon, a few newer players) but seem to pretty finish-able by everyone.

Experts (heroics) so far are scaled pretty high, we're needing to have me respec to offheals (Chloromancer - mage offensive healing build) from my heavy damage build but have had no wipes. We've gotten T1 epics off each boss as well as a blue, a crafting mat, and a currency (like badges)

any other questions scammer?

great thanks for the input, also what size are dungeons? and are there raids with like 10+ or 20+ etc?

also nn to be rude and call me a scammer, made a small mistake that's not even worth mentioning and it's sorted out and waiting to get untagged.

well I know what rifts are and crap I played the beta up to level 20 like 2 months ago, those I wouldnt consider as raids really, those were just side things as you level up to get a tiny bit a loot maybe and some experience.

theres lots of outdoor raid content as well as standard indoor raids.

outdoor raid content can have anywhere from a few people (group sized) to giant (armies of defiants and guardians fighting over a major boss)

as to the scammer thing. I'm a hater. small mistake or not >.>

/e dungeons are 5, raids that i've seen have been 20.
