Missions, however, are still the mainstay of the game and Funcom recognizes that and recently made sweeping changes to missions themselves. The boring, cookie-cutter mission locales of old are gone. Larger hallways, more complex designs and prettier environments await those embarking on missions. Missions also received love in the form of mines, turrets, an improved pet pathing system, new monsters and lots of fun new loot. Group missions feature multiple levels with a boss at the end that often drops useful items as well.
