Yeah, Entity is a pretty big server. Technically, the server will spin off additional instances of zones when it gets too full. I don't know if that happens now, but compared to Evindra, Entity is bigger than I think Evindra ever was by a significant margin.

How? I was running vets with a bunch of casuals last night. Nothing took over an hour and we didn't fail anything.

I hear that a bit from people who left in July and June. I recommend rolling Entity.

Well, I'll concede that the attunement process is a bit draggy, but is it hard? IDK, I'm only at the Adventures step because that's where I stopped, I'm not really a group PvE'er(I just figured I'd get it going just in case I ever decided to raid) :P But that being said, isn't there content in just about any game that's not partaken/partakable by all the players?

Yeah, "Casual" doesn't mean "undergeared" and definitely not "bad". It just means people who aren't running set schedule content more nights than not. Our prep was literally: "We should run Vet Adventures tomorrow!" Pre-run up went: "Uh, which ones should we run?" "I don't know, where's everyone at in attunement?" "25% Vet Adventures?" "I'm at the rep step..." "Okay... WoTW is easiest.  Want to start there?" And we had a great time! The whole thing is that the content's definitely accessible. We're not hardcore. I didn't know most of the boss fights we were jumping into. We played it mostly by ear and improvised. We used no voice chat. We are, as far as I can see, one of the most casual groups on Entity. And we did just fine running Vet content, getting upgrades, etc. It's very accessible. It's friendly to casual timeframes; nothing took more than an hour. What it isn't is a cakewalk. Even WotW wasn't a foregone conclusion or a chore we were just going through the motions on. That's what makes it fun. Even Vet WotW isn't a foregone conclusion to even decently geared players, you do have to take it somewhat seriously.

I was one of those 'casuals' as you well know :) I am the epitome of 'average player'. What I mean by that is that I've been here since winter beta and have only one 50 in my stable. On these runs that we did I never died, was at least # 3 in damage (sometimes higher) and I finally got rid of my last 'yellow' piece of armor. I'm now in mostly blues with two or three epic purples. I am working on attunement and imbuements. So if I, as average as I am, can do it anyone can. Seriously. As far as the mega servers go, if you group with people out in the world you can easily see them at work. Beside the name it will often say, for example, Sophie DuPree (Different Phase). Just because you might not see people, they are around, just phased differently. So OP, don't worry over things like 'only 2 servers' Mega servers are massive.

Well, sometimes you get ppl that have done the dungeon atleast a few times and know the mechanics, but there's big possibility you will get some new guys aswell. I do my best to explain fights and other challenges to get ppl into the dungeons. and wipes are inevitable sometimes, but that is what makes the game for me. I will be completely honest and say that i wont be playing Wildstar 2 months after i subbed if it didnt have harder PvE content then the average MMO out there. Also i really love the medal system cos it rewards you for improving your gameplay and have better understanding of the mechanics. I hope Carbine wont nerf dungeons and new players will expirience the same difficulty we did. Casual group/solo content should be kept inside shiphands or in the open world.

It's really a mega server. Really. Not sure why anyone would say otherwise.

I'd just like to point out that these two possibilities are not mutually exclusive, since there's still some discussion of architecture vs. impressions of population. Pyaray has very graciously explained how the post-megaserver realms can hold many more people than the pre-megaserver realms did, but nowhere in there did he say that the population as it currently exists actually needs to utilize that kind of extra capacity. Fingers crossed that someday it will be necessary, even if it isn't currently.

New instances in zones happen all the time now. Seriously, just group with someone that you are not 'next to' and you will see that they are in a different phase (because it says it). So, I'm not sure why you think that at all. For the record, it happens from the low levels all the way through cap now.
