Non-instanced missions

I know this is probably a qustion for elsewhere on these boards but I was curious as to what defianteers (im gonna use that as the plural till someone gives me a better one) would think of non-instanced missions.

Just to clarify: i mean a mission where everybody can just drop in and fight together against a common enemy, possibly like Hami but maybe more mision based and on a smaller scale, or possibly like the pvp zones but without the pvp...

Was just thinking back to some of the things I used to like about SWG and the non linear, open mission aspect of the game (squill cave, fort tusken, genosian bunker etc) was one of its best qualities. (and worst due to griefing )

I would love for this to be set inside the crashed Rikti Ship... A large amount of hero teams all with different objectives working towards a common goal.

Any thoughts?

I been wanting something similar myself. In fact by coincidence I made a comment about it in the General Discussion on a thread about the 5th column

Interesting idea but it would have to be used only in 'special' circumstances. Two things I really hated about DAoC was the ludicrous darkness at night (nothing to do with this thread at all) and the the fact that people had to queue at the popular hunting spots for things to spawn. Also if you were getting badly beaten in a cave and had to run, having things spawn behind you is a killer. At least in CoH/CoV you can clear a safe(ish) path to retreat into.

True, it would need tweaking but I think it would really work wwell in COh and it's definitely something that's lacking.
Maybe they could set it so that new enemies (other than ambushes)only spawn when nobody is in the non instanced mission...
