It will introduce a new 12 player Trial, a new companion system, new dungeons, solitary quests, and world bosses, along with several improvements in the overall quality of the experience.

You will be able to recruit an NPC ally to travel and fight alongside you, each companion having their own history and personality. They can follow you in almost every mission, and their skills rise level in the process. You will be able to customize your companion as you see fit to complement your build. The only place you can't take them is PvP - this is because it wouldn't be player vs player if a non-player character could participate!
