#

Because like

#

Dungeon is not replyabale at all during its current state

#

And even then habe the big content thst could be finale of the region to be just mid region content feel very weird

#

I always just repeat older dungeon to get more exp when I am in other region

#

So thst barely an issue

split night
#

xd

hybrid gazelle
#

They not that bad but definitely boring for a content that want you to replay

#

The game kinda softly fix this by just giving you dungeon token as reward for doing dungeon quest

#

But like

#

Man sure

shut mist
#

I can say the same with raids.

#

To me its the same thing exept multiplayer

split night
hybrid gazelle
#

Ehhh I can see where you coming from but I think if all raid up to wtp quality

#

It would not be that much of a problem

#

Because the thing aboht wtp quality is that there like a variety of optimization you can do

#

That make its challenge feel more replaceable

split night
#

Raids are really fun I'd say
as long as you have an efficent team, yeah i can spend 4 hours just doing raid

slim belfry
#

I love raiding to test builds

hybrid gazelle
#

You can also play raid with friends so like

mortal basin
#

Is there anywhere I could go and see kinda the comprehensive lore of Wynncraft?

formal bridge
#

the only dungeon that doesn't have purely combat or parkour challenges is Galleon's Graveyard I'm pretty sure, unless I'm missing something. And even that isn't exactly much since the majority of the dungeon is exactly that

#

raids at least have little side activities each time that you have to do, like balancing on the tower or navigating a maze or having to jump form platform to platform

hybrid gazelle
#

There is combat section

#

You kinda it kinda weird how

#

They have megalodon and piraha

#

But they have yoh

#

Fight megalodon head on

#

And run away from piraha

#

It

#

It a choice

formal bridge
#

I mean moreso there are sections that aren't just combat or parkour

#

as in cannon section

#

compared to even the worst of the raids, Grootslangs

#

You still have stuff there like defending towers or having to fight through a tunnel where special enemies need to be thwacked with a hammer

#

and every raid after has more fun puzzle sections included within them

hybrid gazelle
#

Grootslang definitely has

#

Either player doing the platform do everything or do nothing

#

And a lot of waiting

#

Definitely something

granite gate
#

well the ct is well aware of the issues with the current dungeons, at the very least it was a topic for discussion when i was still on the team so it should at some point be rectified

#

as for when i have no idea
but its not like its just being ignored

formal bridge
#

As I said it's the worst raid of them all, but better than any time I've spent in a dungeon lmao

granite gate
#

i physically cannot bring myself to do the gavel raids

#

i stress tested them so much its burned into the back of my mind

formal bridge
#

fair enough lmao

#

grootslangs is a chore but I enjoy the rest

hybrid gazelle
#

the nwe change to TCC boss fight make it more engaging boss fight so fa

#

I think the current mindset that CT are in in Fruma update is good one to hav

granite gate
#

you have me to thank for how janky orphion's rooms were in 1.20

hybrid gazelle
#

a lot of gameplay element definitely have you

granite gate
#

lmao

hybrid gazelle
#

more thinking than other part of the game LOL

granite gate
#

the ct can make minigames that allow for thinking now

hybrid gazelle
#

WTP challenges pretty much demand everyone to be active whatever their task is

#

the only one that fallen to older dungeon design trap that I can think of

#

is mostly challenge 2?

granite gate
#

i am insanely impressed with the tech that got developed for fruma

hybrid gazelle
#

but I think it just needs ome tweak that all

granite gate
#

i actually never would have imagined wynn would look like this

hybrid gazelle
#

the person on platform can be miserable sometime cause MY FUCKING FINGERS

#

but overall it fine, sometime I just happy to see how good my performance is

formal bridge
#

I think fruma is helped by the fact they, quite frankly, didn't have all the bland stuff that prior wynncraft has all over it's old regions lmao

hybrid gazelle
formal bridge
#

Like, take just mob design for instance

hybrid gazelle
#

yeah that too

formal bridge
#

99% of mobs outside fruma just walk over and hit you, or spray arrows/some projectile at you

hybrid gazelle
#

a lot of msaller things in Fruma just contribute to make its region so fresh and intresting place to explre

formal bridge
#

a lot of bosses are the same

hybrid gazelle
#

THIS

#

GENIUNELY push/pull mobs make exploring region suck

granite gate
#

to be fair we just straight up weren't capable of doing anything else

hybrid gazelle
#

and mobs that just throw shit at yo

formal bridge
#

yeah I don't blame it lmao

#

it's the same reason why I don't hate too much on the CT for midgame because I know it just hasn't been able to be touched

#

We don't have an infinitely big dev team lmao

granite gate
#

i had to develop like 2 different systems that hadn't been done before just to make garvan and that boss was kinda mid by current standards

hybrid gazelle
#

also enemy placement is a lot more thoughout

#

literally gatling gun being spawn on preset location

#

make it a lot more managable than like

formal bridge
#

Yeah I can't imagine what it's like coding for wynncraft personally, esp with it requiring to be vanilla only

hybrid gazelle
#

if they fucking spawn randomly

formal bridge
#

Fruma represents a bright future at the very least

hybrid gazelle
#

yeah

#

Citadel definitely one of the best region for end game

granite gate
#

like behind the scenes from 1.18 all the way up to now every new major boss has had months worth of developing new systems and completely breaking new ground and coming up with 112232323 workarounds in order to make something that the new mob system shits on easily

formal bridge
#

the power of advanced development in any tech sphere lmao

hybrid gazelle
formal bridge
#

It's like how back in the day it was a huge thing to be able to get a few gigabytes of stuff

granite gate
#

the eye was an ENORMOUS breakthrough, then the raid bosses, then nameless, then anni, and now the fruma queen

hybrid gazelle
#

Anathema fighti s like

formal bridge
#

but now games are casually 150 gigabytes cause they know people can just get like, 2 TB thumb drives

hybrid gazelle
#

one of the best fight for Wynncraft

formal bridge
#

same in wynn with everything regarding coding and such

#

No longer need NPCs to be a zombie with a mask on

granite gate
#

like the eye was nearly impossible for me to understand when i first joined but by the time i left i could have made 1.19 eye in like a day

#

and then i would have been told to rework it lmao

formal bridge
hybrid gazelle
#

I am waiting for raid music

#

the most awesome thing about wynn ost is that they actually use letimof that been there in the game for long itme

#

throughout WTP, you can hear a lot of Annie motif

#

which is now become corruption letimof

#

we really need a name for this letimof

#

like "Mark of War"

#

Tasim theme also feature letimof from What Must Be Done

#

and hint of Her Majesty letimof

#

Her Majesty letimof are seeprate from Mark of War letimof

#

but they return in her raid boss theme

#

there also hero letimof in Tasim theme as well

granite gate
#

i wish i was a trust fund kiddie who didnt need a job so i could come back to ct and screw around with all the new stuff

hybrid gazelle
#

LOL

granite gate
#

instead im a nursing major and i physically cant find the time in my day to work on wynn

hybrid gazelle
#

Also I thinking of how I should desifn golem chadacter

#

Just like my previous iteration on rewriting the golems

#

There are fewer golems than theu are in canon

dim plover
#

I am cackling like a insane scientist right now no one's going to know what's hitting them

#

(I still don't have an environment to put my work in though)

#

(I need the goddamn Queen's meeting room)

#

"Oh god I did it again"

slender copper
regal spire
dim plover
#

But tbh all it did was give me the impression that Gikyo was going to have dynamic pupils that look around

regal spire
#

It definitely is “looking” off-putting saltroll

dim plover
#

Turns out that wasn't the case though

#

Anyways I just finished the cutscene system

#

I literally just need the setting now

regal spire
#

Geekyow

dim plover
#

Has 0 people not have Ensemble of Hope upcoming

#

Is literally everyone done

regal spire
#

It’s been about a month now

#

So, I think it’s safe to start spoiling

#

I’ve been pretty lenient with my spoilers, too, for the last 2 weeks

full bough
#

I havent done it on my second flass but

#

Too lazy to run thru all the quests and dowbload mor mods

vestal rivet
#

on a 2nd run

#

lvl115 now, almost 116

split night
#

replaying wynn without powerleveling feel so slow
early quests are so boring ahh

dim plover
#

Okay I've finally got the cutscene frame-perfect to the way I want it to, with every NPC in position

Oh my god this is glorious

#

It's so goddamn funny

#

I can't show it yet but

#

This is my best work absolutely

#

It stomps on the Dern cutscene or any of the Fruma gate ones

summer bluff

regal spire
#

You will have more fun like

split night
#

im just doing anything in the quest book to like
run through the quests and secret discoveries a second time to notice if there are anything interesting

#

i could do the bosses i guess

polar quarry
#

Is it just me or is there a small connection between Fruma and the song "In the Court of the Crimson King" by King Crimson?

Self-Evident Possible connections:

Ex1: The Court of the Crimson King as a title
Itself could be connected to the queen (another monarchal term) considering she has control over the auburn forest, very similar to crimson

Ex2: Lyrics: "I walk a road, horizons change, the tournament's begun"
Walking a road such as the beginning of the questline accessing fruma by returning back to the player origins, and a connection to the tournament seen at the begin of the fruma questline

Ex3: Lyrics "The Keeper of the City Keys put shutters on the dreams"
Could be a connection in that Fruma blocks the memories of their deportees or their "dreams" of what Fruma was like

Obviously not fully connected and very distinct stories, but I heard the song just now and heard a couple lyrics that reminded me of fruma

(Playing Echoes of Change - don't spoil)

||HOLY FRIG TASIM IS A SOVEREIGN?||

#

||I was expecting something like this but not THAT!||

||Is he brainwashed? Is he okay? Is it still my friend in there?||

split night
#

there is a reason why he is like that but no spoils

#

for you questions, no, yes, yes

light zealot
#

Just at the Syndra fight right now - she is pretty damn tough

#

I might need to finally update my build

slim belfry
marsh tide
#

keep playing... 🙂

frozen turtle
light zealot
#

This game is so good. I'm actually worried about all of the Leaves + the Steel Feather folks

#

Weird that a block game can make me care about fictional people...

frozen turtle
#

Wynn got really good at making people hate fictional people, glad they're switching it around this time

brittle prism
#

the villager

brittle prism
#

brother of yahya

light zealot
#

I know who Sohso is!

#

Still waiting for him to show up

marsh tide
#

Sohdoh like homer saying doh

frozen turtle
#

spoiler: sosho is her majesty

slim belfry
#

Sohso is Soosu it's in the name

frozen turtle
#

Soosu = Sohso = Her Majesty

marsh tide
light zealot
marsh tide
#

Soosu is awesome she's so cute

light zealot
#

She is cool. Sad backstory - it seems that all of the Sovereigns have been changed by their blessings

marsh tide
#

coughs at ||Tasim||

light zealot
#

I'm hoping that ||Tasim|| does not suffer the same fate

fallow heart
light zealot
#

I don't want to kill him.

split night
light zealot
#

I already had to kill Aledar - you can't put me through this again

dry drift
#

hello lore discussion

marsh tide
#

hello

light zealot
#

Hello!

split night
brittle prism
#

"my mother named me soosu because of a wonderous researcher her brother met, when she was sick the researcher gave her a white object and it cured her but her mind couldn't escape her aging body and she slowly went a bit cookoo crazy, because she was old. I will never forgive... sohso " - real secret discovery text

marsh tide
#

yeah don't talk in here you will get spoiled easily

light zealot
#

I know. I'm trying my best to avoid spoilers

marsh tide
#

avoiding them was pretty cool

slim belfry
#

did you know that we go into fruma

light zealot
#

It seems that this is the area with people who actually care about the lore and story and aren't just yelling about build optimization, memes, and complaints all the time

#

So I like it here

split night
marsh tide
#

I hope that Aledar and Tasim can one day be placed in at least one more quest in the game each (different areas) so there's more reason to care about them

light zealot
slim belfry
frozen turtle
marsh tide
#

maybe like 40-50's in Gavel for Tasim and then never again until Fruma stuff

light zealot
#

And maybe Aledar could show up in Troms/Nesaak?

brittle prism
marsh tide
brittle prism
#

like spang ton

#

from the hit game deltarune

frozen turtle
#

Tasim def needs to at least should be able to be seen somewhere in Gavel at least once considering he's known by the fact he went to gavel

marsh tide
#

yeah

#

I think early Gavel would work well

#

so it would "still be a while" and he got caught up in his own things

light zealot
#

I think there needs to be more questlines in Wynn in the mid-game anyway - aside from WynnEx (which is old and... weird) it has basically nothing

frozen turtle
marsh tide
#

true!

frozen turtle
#

its not too early

marsh tide
#

I like that idea

light zealot
frozen turtle
#

but early enough

split night
marsh tide
#

Llevigar/Olux/Gelibord was my thought for level range

hybrid gazelle
#

Queen recruit already hint taism involvement in orc war

hybrid gazelle
#

So we will se him there

marsh tide
#

I hope so

#

I can't wait for old stuff to be updated I hope that's what all the time goes to, the old stuff could be so cool

light zealot
#

It would be cool if they added another quest between Clearing the Camps and All Roads to Peace, showing the war actually escalating before we fix everything

brittle prism
#

i had to use a sorting algorithm to finish one of the secret discovery puzzles

light zealot
#

Because right now it is just... happening and then it ends

brittle prism
#

all for lore about trees 😔

marsh tide
#

yeah

hybrid gazelle
#

But yeah

brittle prism
#

I do love industrees though

frozen turtle
#

the orc questline so weird cuz its not technically a questline

#

but it kinda is

light zealot
marsh tide
#

??? Questline but with
interactions and

#

not stupid item pickups maybe

light zealot
#

Also early endgame - imagine the Garaheth fight (and really all of the Molten Heights/Dwarves & Doguns) redone with modern mobs and lore

marsh tide
#

for sure

#

I just did Dwarves and Doguns actually since it wasn't done...

marsh tide
#

it was uh

split night
#

next update, remove Temple of Legend quest

marsh tide
#

certainly a quest!

light zealot
brittle prism
#

It's alright

frozen turtle
#

next update, remove Lari imo

marsh tide
#

the gameplay part was not enjoyable with the grapple + lag of Fruma release..

light zealot
#

Just moving between them, like chapters in a book, following the story

frozen turtle
marsh tide
light zealot
marsh tide
#

yeah I'm really glad most of the Fruma quests are all the same questline

hybrid gazelle
#

CT already got everything down with having only one character needed to unlock certain content

#

so like

light zealot
#

This feels like everything the late Realm of Light quests were when I first played them, just better

#

And consistent

hybrid gazelle
#

so we likely see this done with future content

frozen turtle
#

or this is ur 2nd class, u already did quests so u just level up normally but do the later quests cuz the xp is good but u cant

hybrid gazelle
#

then that to ofucking bad LOL

#

you lose some you win some

marsh tide
#

happens in anything

frozen turtle
#

like, people already do it anyways so i dont get why u have to force people to

hybrid gazelle
#

it is what it is

#

yeah

frozen turtle
#

it would literally just ruin the game for people

light zealot
marsh tide
#

you already can't access Fruma without a ton of quests done that are very long

hybrid gazelle
#

and even then you can just

#

open the gate for oyur other character to enter fruma

#

so this is nothing problem

frozen turtle
hybrid gazelle
#

that nice

marsh tide
#

I'd actually really like if the rest of the server was more like that if it was higher quality like Fruma was

hybrid gazelle
#

and there already side quest and stuf

#

yeah LOL

light zealot
#

I don't think everything needs prerequsites - just the idea that there is a main story that goes consistently from level 1 to level 120

frozen turtle
#

i mean yeah you can have a few storylines which go for longer

hybrid gazelle
#

it woudl be expected anyway on yout first character, you would paly through the game like the dev would intend you to

light zealot
#

A trail that you are following, rather than just doing odd jobs and then eventually ending up killing God

hybrid gazelle
#

aand by that time oyu would have area unlock and everything for you for your second character

light zealot
#

Or whatever

marsh tide
#

as long as you are properly guided anything works

hybrid gazelle
#

Also

frozen turtle
marsh tide
#

new players are already guided to try to do all the quests for several reasons

formal bridge
#

I don't even think it needs to gate off content

frozen turtle
#

??

formal bridge
#

The plains as a whole need some kind of story in them period

#

Cause right now llevigar and the entirety of gylia has nada

marsh tide
#

you don't need to gate off content you can gate off certain areas within areas though

formal bridge
#

You just have random odds and ends. Even orc quest feels incomplete st best

hybrid gazelle
#

you would be doing thes things on your first character nayway so like

marsh tide
#

for sure one of the weaker parts of the game is Llevigar - Cinfras gap of Gavel to me

hybrid gazelle
#

Dont see the problem for second character

#

or third

#

or fourth since it all unlock for you to begin with

#

and if you play wynncraft first and jsut want to level farming only for some reason

#

then

#

IDK

marsh tide
#

I really like most of the Wynn and late Gavel stuff

frozen turtle
#

my problem with it, adding it to be locked storyline wise for people wouldnt even add anything to players

#

like i dont see the gain

marsh tide
#

Ocean and early Gavel feel the weirdest

frozen turtle
#

if people are already doing it on their own, why make it forced

slim belfry
#

jungle...

marsh tide
#

oh

#

and Jungle n Troms yeah

hybrid gazelle
#

oh yeah

slim belfry
#

basically the midgame

hybrid gazelle
#

jungle need rework

slim belfry
#

lol

marsh tide
#

it's funny

#

most of the mid game gets left behind

#

because the important parts are new player experience and end game experience

#

I've been trying to focus on that in my own work too for designing systems so the middle area isn't left out

hybrid gazelle
#

I think

#

Mel hint the fact there wil be something in he jungle with Aledar?

#

I THINK

slim belfry
hybrid gazelle
#

but it not clear as Tasim in Orc War thing

#

it very vague

frozen turtle
#

Mel says she last saw Aledar at a troms siege

marsh tide
hybrid gazelle
#

it just Aledar in Troms siege

hybrid gazelle
slim belfry
frozen turtle
#

where did mel come from

slim belfry
#

the mercenary

hybrid gazelle
#

The Mecenary quest

slim belfry
#

and then again in QR

#

but yeah needs more appearances

marsh tide
#

I could not remember anyone at that table gotta be real 😭

#

been too long since I had to do the quests

hybrid gazelle
#

thery will appear more

#

it fine you dont remember them FOR NOW

#

but like

#

the ywill appear more in mid game

slim belfry
#

I can never forget linton because of tunnel trouble

marsh tide
#

I think I want to wait for quest changes they'll be doing in the next few years before redoing all quests again

limber swan
hybrid gazelle
#

Fruma just

marsh tide
#

but Fruma story definitely sticking with me to the point it just overshadows the rest

hybrid gazelle
#

come with a lot of pre planning for future quest rework

#

which is fine but it can basically a bit odd sometime

#

since we dont have much context cause it is not in the game yet

marsh tide
#

that's true

#

but it means it'll last longer

frozen turtle
#

cuz it introduces Drale

marsh tide
#

TRUE

#

I love Tunnel Trouble unironically though

#

funny early game quest

slim belfry
#

tunnel trouble is amazing

#

it has a great balance of serious and whimsy

marsh tide
#

amazing character design

limber swan
#

queen's recruit hints at a ton of things

light zealot
marsh tide
#

what's wrong with that

light zealot
#

There's literally a quest called Cowfusion

brittle prism
light zealot
brittle prism
#

they're aliens

frozen turtle
#

or are they

light zealot
#

Why they aren't cows and are aliens is a question I am still asking myself

slim belfry
frozen turtle
#

Cow realm will be revealed next update

light zealot
#

The true final boss of wynncraft is a cow

slim belfry
#

hey let's talk about what drale did in old cowfusion

slim belfry
tepid blade
hybrid gazelle
#

TBH my fguess is that

#

We going to see Lanu and Mel in Troms story

#

maybe featuring Aledar

#

possibly

#

Linton IDk

#

but Linton coudl be there cause he is likethe trio

marsh tide
#

doing this entire quest after not doing all the quests in years

hybrid gazelle
#

They are the perfect gender trio
Woman, Nonbinary, and hamster

marsh tide
#

I did remember Tasim and Aledar though! Somehow.

frozen turtle
#

AHC helped cement Tasim and Aledar in my mind

marsh tide
#

and Dr. Picard from the memory quest

#

very memorable design to me

brittle prism
frozen turtle
#

Dr Picard was also just a memorable quest because it was early fruma content too

brittle prism
#

This would have been so confusing otherwise

marsh tide
#

LOL

#

yeah

brittle prism
#

Cause i also skipped like half of the quests when i first played wynn

marsh tide
#

I was like "wait who is that- wait their design is cool but who is that again??"

brittle prism
#
  • it was like 3 years ago
#

so a lot of the quests were different

marsh tide
#

yeah

brittle prism
#

well the ones where the queens recruit people get introduced at least

frozen turtle
#

The Mecerany used to just be a solo quest

#

idk wen they changed it

marsh tide
#

I think it was very cruel to get that wedding invitation when I took the seaskipper after the update

brittle prism
frozen turtle
#

Maxie the goat

#

the real question who tf is Kaio

marsh tide
#

I like Maxie but can they get a new skin for him

#

feels outdated, his Festival of the Blizzard skin makes it more obvious of a mismatch to me from when it was made to more modern skins

hybrid gazelle
#

they update it in 2.1

#

mercenary quest got updated in 2.1

celest falcon
hybrid gazelle
#

Kaio also old member of the leaves

#

you can meet him at Aledar's grave

#

he is a minor character that all

brittle prism
frozen turtle
signal bough
frozen turtle
#

its been established there is a big character focus

hybrid gazelle
signal bough
#

oh nice

frozen turtle
#

and then 3rd quest he just appears like "Yeah ik guys ill stay behind dw" like who is this guy

marsh tide
#

same

#

I could not remember him I felt so bad

signal bough
#

he's doing his job I guess

marsh tide
#

I think it was like, second to last quest and I was scratching my head just going "yo who is this guy? 😭" when there was a bunch of characters in the scene

signal bough
#

I honestly thought there would be more Leaves than him

frozen turtle
#

i later found that he lives pretty near that cave area in one of those quests

#

which that would've been a great time to introduce him even if just briefly

brittle prism
#

I think he just exists to show that there's more than the core members of the leaves in the leaves

#

but

hybrid gazelle
brittle prism
#

also there isn't?

hybrid gazelle
#

they said it

#

it just some of them have somewhere else to stay

#

the one that you met only have leaves base as their home

#

so they are more close members

frozen turtle
#

where is aledars grave btw

signal bough
#

yeah, Syndra's adoptees

#

I was expecting some mention of Aledar from the core group ngl

mossy widget
signal bough
#

given how tightly-knit they seemed I thought a member's loss would still be notable

mossy widget
hybrid gazelle
#

I think he would be at level of Kaios

mossy widget
#

theyve surely lost more people than aledar

hybrid gazelle
#

where he is with the leaves

#

but not really that close to otehr younger member

#

becuase uh

#

he is

#

he is grown ass man

signal bough
#

close with Mora then

brittle prism
hybrid gazelle
#

there still intereptation on what Aledar is like when he with the leaves

#

I just dont think they talk about it because like

#

there is no oppurnity in the story to bring him up

#

probably in epliogue

signal bough
#

could also link Zeph to him given they both end up being assassins

signal bough
zenith bough
#

<@&268142859327242242> Mr.Beast

ty

pale spruce
#

Do we know who first implemented the Emerald as the local currency?

signal bough
#

It was in use in Wynn 1000 years ago, and there was use of emeralds in construction 1000 years ago in Gavel

#

I would suggest poking around Gavel SDs

cedar kernel
#

They’ve somehow been in use long enough that gavel and Wynn both used them before villagers crossed the ocean

#

Perhaps it dates back to old fruma?

#

Maybe even before them?

dim plover
#

I’m about to explode with anticipation

#

I might actually show a tiny bit of it just because I can’t do anything right now

#

BUT I MUST NOT

cedar kernel
#

Cracked the code huh

dim plover
#

I would not survive a massive project man

#

If I started working on Hidden Side chances are people will know the entire plot before I’m even done

cedar kernel
#

They’re called playtesters saltroll

frozen turtle
#

have u found anyone who can get the meeting room replay yet

#

i havent been able to level up that much cuz the game has been bugging out

dim plover
#

There’s like one person I know currently on it but they’re at like level 116 atm

keen field
#

Any chance of Croaquin the toad related to Professor Eih

#

they both wear a hat

split night
#

No

#

you can ask him about professor Eih, he really don't know or related to professor Eih xd

#

like this

keen field
#

since the discovery mentioned it, it must make some sense

#

but im not sure :I

split night
#

he's just

#

kinda a random frog

#

in fruma

frozen turtle
#

biggest ragebait when i learnt there was no relation

signal bough
#

they did the name wrong too

#

Croaquin would be pronounced 'Craw-keen'

#

it should be Croquin

dry drift
#

i say it like that

#

like joaquin

why cant we ask Two when the portals first opened and closed? She seems to have a good understanding of the timeline

hybrid gazelle
#

If Anathema do not know

#

I think Two also would not know

#

becaues I highly dbout Two would gatekept these info from Anathema

#

consider their goal

#

Two does not seems to know some of the things

#

such as old fruman

#

because if that the case

#

the queen would not need Gale to study the transcribe

#

so Two knowledge has its limit

#

can anybody here tell me what orphion says after you beat NOL for the first time in high gavellian?

dim plover
dim plover
#

Basically Orphion’s a lying piece of shit and I can’t believe we fell for it

#

Dammit

restive yacht
#

Lmao

mossy badge
#

Damnit

restive yacht
#

Soooooo what does this mean for NOL lore in the future? If the raid stays there and orphion is gonna be part of future narrative

dim plover
restive yacht
dim plover
#

Aren’t raids and dungeons like locked in a moment of time or something

#

It doesn’t feel like Anathema revives herself over and over so we can kill her again

restive yacht
#

Ok, but we're not gonna fight Anathema back another time tho

dim plover
#

Or it’s like the same logic as doing From the Mountains after DnD Part IV

Hey look Axelus is alive I thought he died pathetically to a stone

restive yacht
#

Does this mean we will also not get to fight orphion again?

dim plover
#

Basically NoL happened first in lore and that’s about it

#

Us doing the raid again after Apotheosis is just us going back in time or smth idk

restive yacht
#

Yea but if you put orphion in a quest, it will have to be weaker than a raid boss for gameplay no?

dim plover
#

We did tell Two about how we killed the parasite

#

The thing is we never really did fight Orphion

#

He wasn’t attacking us in the boss fight
Canonically, anyway

restive yacht
#

Which was controlled by a parasite, yes

dim plover
#

From what I know, in-universe Orphion is legit flailing around

#

All the attacks he generates in the battle is collateral damage

#
  • according to some CT I can’t remember who anymore
restive yacht
#

Yea so he must be stronger than what we saw

dim plover
#

Of course he is

#

We didn’t even scratch him

restive yacht
#

Yea

dim plover
#

All the health is the parasite’s

dim plover
dim plover
#

Like yeah there’s nothing wrong with that statement but like

#

It’s literally god

restive yacht
#

If he his way stronger, we can't have to fight it in a quest

dim plover
#

Would we even be able to realistically fight him

restive yacht
#

Idk we killed a semi war god

dim plover
#

If the game lets us kill Orphion, then DB would have to be in the same battle because killing just Orphion is a really bad idea

Even then how are we going to fight both of them lol

split night
#

Because hell if the Parasite have all the player's skill while controlling us, that might be very bullshit and strong xd

restive yacht
#

In the first section

#

Ah tbf mid attack is pretty clear

dim plover
#

That being said what would killing Orphion exactly achieve here

restive yacht
#

Sun - > black hole

dim plover
#

If our goal is to kill the Light we couldn’t even kill Corruption

#

Like, destroying the beasts don’t really like

#

What are we going to do lol

restive yacht
#

As much as Saphanis

split night
dim plover
#

If we are going to fight Orphion and DB the player literally has to acheieve some form of god status within the next few levels

#

Assuming that the true endgame level is relatively nearby and not like, level 150 or smth

split night
#

It's a dumb thing like
you can't really kill two god at the same time to stop the Corruption
killing one god might have insane result that may or may not lead to a calamity scenario

restive yacht
#

Man I still want that to happen as a server wide event

#

I want the 'Two' scenery to be real

split night
#

i mean if you can lure to gods together in an elaborate plan for them to fight and then kill them at their weakened state

split night
#

yeah that's the thing, banish them is a fine idea, i have no problem with that

#

xd

#

killing them however

dreamy acorn
#

but why do we believe anathema (that orphion is bad) and not orphion that he just wants to balance stuff?

mossy badge
#

Killed = gets banished

#

500 frumillion mythics

dreamy acorn
split night
#

it's trustworthy yeah
Two have her own agenda and plans, she don't really care about the crown that much

dreamy acorn
#

then next question: Didnt the player lorewise kill a part of the dern beast (the eye in the eldrith outlook)? I dont get why the imbalance still exist after the player killed it

split night
#

and beside, it's just weird to assume that Light good, dark bad after RoL4 and A hunter's Calling
with the morality thing

you'd expect CT to do follow up for Light and Dark to turn out to be on the same page in term of morality

split night
#

The parasite suck Orphion's juice for like, REALLY long

#

so the advantage is definitely here while Orphion heal

dim plover
#

DB is still powerful as hell

split night
#

that too

dreamy acorn
#

fine, but i once heard that the ??? character in front of the dern portal is there to try to prevent the player from entering the realm of dern because the player is now just on a killing spree

#

or was that just a theory?

split night
#

Saphanis just preventing us from entering the portal

dim plover
#

Why do you just rely on hearsay and not like, make your own judgement based on what the ??? character says to you

dreamy acorn
split night
dim plover
#

Btw have either of you done Ensemble of Hope yet

#

I’ve been trying to find someone who hasn’t

split night
#

I've finished Fruma

#

duh

dreamy acorn
#

same

dim plover
#

Do you plan on doing that quest again on another class anytime soon

split night
#

yeah

dreamy acorn
#

yes, im doing that atm

dim plover
#

I need Replay Mod/ Flashback Mod footage of the meeting room the Sovereigns appear in and I can’t get it post-quest

dim plover
#

Are you able to help I’ve been searching for someone for days lmao

dreamy acorn
#

next is blossom of balds part 1

dim plover
#

Just need like several seconds of RP/Flashback footage because I need a visual reference of the room

#

I want to do something wacky for a mini-project and I need the meeting room

untold warren

Any new wynn ships?

Like is that shit just grandma clothing

dim plover

@dreamy acorn You still there?

split night
#

I have no idea either, i just draw Grace with dress instead of like, copying Sui thing

narrow kestrel
#

yeah im not doing allat

#

bless your heart

#

fym 2/16

#

😭

#

i dont think anythings beating nesaak SDs

#

shit was peak

split night
#

xd

#

I do it in order of like, Content Progress so basically doing it along side the quests
I always imagine them as like, Secret Quests
cuz they behave just like normal quests except that they don't give you any instruction

narrow kestrel
#

so i couldnt sort it

#

i just followed recommended/recommended

split night
#

😔

#

so that mean you have a fucked up timeline of your questline then

#

xd

narrow kestrel
#

i only started doing SDs when i stumbled into an SD in almuj

#

and i was heading into nesaak by that time

#

so i started doing nesaak SDs before leaving the place entirely

#

then went back and cleaned almuj SDs

narrow kestrel
#

💀

#

for example i beat NOL before i saw the UD of light forest

#

i still dont have dark forest cleared btw

split night
#

I mean dw too much about it
Secret Discoveries are like, giving you important background lore contexts
if you haven't done all of it then you might not know a certain thing, but that's fine you can always like, chatting in here to know random stuff that other did

narrow kestrel
#

fym dw too much about it

#

😭

split night
#

it's just background lores xD

narrow kestrel
#

ice barrows make zero sense if you havent done SDs

#

and you wouldnt really have an idea of whats happening with orphion exactly if you dont do the SDs beforehand

frozen turtle
#

i only did SD's when i needed xp boosts

#

on my first play through

split night
#

I'm so glad that i play the game in Content Progress order on my first ever save
so i have a pretty good and coherent timeline for my Character

frozen turtle
#

SD aren't essential but they give a lot more context

split night
#

otherwise i would have been so fucked

narrow kestrel
#

since nesaak SDs are where most of the twain's story is

#

idk why they put everything there

frozen turtle
#

i mean kinda yeah

narrow kestrel
#

like. you wouldnt have an idea what the fuck the ice barrows boss is talking about

#

if you dont do the SD beforehand

frozen turtle
#

i mean you go have that single quest & the great bane but u dont understand them until SD's

narrow kestrel
#

whereas shit like infested pit/underworld crypt just requires a quest

frozen turtle
narrow kestrel
#

for you to know what you're doing there

frozen turtle
#

not an SD

narrow kestrel
#

but not much aside from "lol he was saving the village dw" but you would have no idea why it even got to that point

split night
#

Nesaak case is more like
you know the most important event in quest but it leave out so many holes and put those missing part in secret discoveries

narrow kestrel
#

gaping holes

#

i might add

split night
#

so you actually do have to do the secret discoveries to like, actually understand what's going on in nesaak and why it was frozen xd

narrow kestrel
#

i think i would have started skipping quest dialogue if i didnt do nesaak sd first

#

because the incomprehensible story would have put me off

#

until probably like. NOL

split night
#

never do quest in Recommended order 😔

narrow kestrel
#

yeah

#

100%

split night
#

i genuinely don't understand why they just not put the default as Content Progress

#

it's so weird

narrow kestrel
#

but i started playing back when wynntils fucked the wuestbook and you couldnt sort

frozen turtle
#

I mean you do understand it but the context behind it ig

#

cuz doesnt the quest show like

#

him fighting off corruption, entering portal and deciding he needed to freeze

narrow kestrel
#

they mention the twain siblings/family a lot too

#

and you would have zero idea who they were

#

if you didnt do SDs

split night
#

I mean you would literally not know that Theorick have sibling if you didn't do the library one

#

xd

narrow kestrel
#

the passage quest would also make no sense if you havent done nesaak SDs first

#

xd

#

crossing the bridge and some random hobo starts a bossfight

#

you know its significant because cutscene + warning but

#

#

you'd have no idea who it was

#

thankfully i did nesaak SDs so i was hyped when it happened

#

TCC feels undercooked so im starting to wonder if its the same case

#

they put bits and sprinkles of TCC starting to wake up in a few quests before it but

frozen turtle
#

i do strongly agree with TCC needing SD's

split night
#

no TCC is just like that

frozen turtle
#

on why its bad

narrow kestrel
#

no because like

#

canyon quests

#

i forgot what it was?? the quest where you escort someone

#

and earthquakes start happening for no reason

#

you'd think it was a gag until the canary calls

frozen turtle
#

annoying guy one

narrow kestrel
#

yes

split night
#

Recommended Quest order moment 😔

narrow kestrel
#

the villager who gets stranded

frozen turtle
#

u learn a lot more about TCC from canyon SD's

#

but also sky island SD's

narrow kestrel
#

you get to canary calls and ooooo spooky

frozen turtle
#

which is kinda annoying

narrow kestrel
#

you'd think it was just a fun experimental direction on side quest until it says "You are indeed the one who can kill the Colossus" and its ????

#

who the fuck is the colossus

#

the chief miner gives a few info afterwards but still

#

not much on WHAT the colossus IS

#

even dwarves and doguns didnt give much info

#

aside from doguns being the primary caretakers of it

frozen turtle
#

u kinda need both canyon & sky islands SD's to understand it

narrow kestrel
#

yeah

#

ill work on that after i unlock silent expanse

#

though i have a feeling i should do sky islands first before silent expanse

frozen turtle
#

like both their ultimate discoveries are literally The XXX Protector"

narrow kestrel
#

because the bean stalk SD gave too much info on The Fracturing or whatever

#

so im getting the sense that its the same case as nesaak

dim plover
#

I wonder if Wynncraft is slowly moving away from having "NPC" above the names of characters, even outside of the cinematic-styled cutscenes

unique jungle
#

i hope not because that'd be change and i am allergic to anything changing

dim plover
#

||Why is the Queen the same combat level as Majin||

vestal rivet
#

because it's her shell I'm guessing

#

as opposed to her actual self, which as we see in the raid is far stronger

vestal rivet
#

running around with one of these skins would be pretty funny

frozen turtle
narrow kestrel
#

havent seen this pookie in so long

#

waiting for the other one to show up

#

im gonna be pissed if he ends up being assdeep in fruma's questline

whole river
celest falcon
narrow kestrel
#

shit fr?

#

even the sd's?

#

😭

frozen turtle
#

i mean

celest falcon
#

Yeah? All the sky islands stuff is lower level than silent expanse

frozen turtle
#

do u need to do all of gavel

narrow kestrel
#

i mean

frozen turtle
#

or meant to

whole river
#

The sds have no real timeline since they’re both disconnected

narrow kestrel
#

im not fucking my story progression this time

#

💀

whole river
#

But yes you’re more meant to do gavel before

frozen turtle
#

some of the SD's are also kinda just

narrow kestrel
frozen turtle
#

nothing

narrow kestrel
#

SDs are supposed to be nice background info but

#

some of them

#

should just be quests

frozen turtle
#

SD's range from huge lore drops to "ohhhh" to ok?

narrow kestrel
#

light forest and nesaak SDs feels like they were cut off

#

from a planned quest

frozen turtle
#

Nesaak SD's kinda make sense because its all about history

Light forest just needs more lore content imo

narrow kestrel
#

nesaak can be argued to not be as important

#

but light forest UD is straight up just telling you to start the raid

#

😭

hybrid gazelle
#

Light Forest SD explainning why Orphion making a good blunt is lore relevant

#

(This literally does nothing for the lore)

narrow kestrel
hybrid gazelle
#

Fruma's Wellspring give more lore implication for the story than like some of these SD

frozen turtle
#

Light forest should be much more important but it feels forgettable ngl

narrow kestrel
#

and then the rest

frozen turtle
narrow kestrel
#

gets shoved into light forest SDs?

hybrid gazelle
#

ROL was made in a rush

#

so I highly dbout that

#

some SD just make as a filler

narrow kestrel
#

light forest UD should have been ROL part 6 or something

hybrid gazelle
#

nothing more

narrow kestrel
#

because it genuinely feels off to watch AFTER you've done the raid

frozen turtle
#

I just wish light forest was more

narrow kestrel
#

like the elfilim one

frozen turtle
#

considering it should be similar to the silent expanse lorewise

narrow kestrel
#

which would probably be more impactful if elfilim actually had a role to play

#

💀

hybrid gazelle
#

but it not

#

I think CT mention already that Light Forest is like SE

narrow kestrel
#

rn they exist as proof of elves being very divisive

hybrid gazelle
#

Messenger from beyond just comfirm Eih is real

#

and nothing else

#

like

#

this does nothing for the lore

#

it acutally make thing more questionable

frozen turtle
#

SE is just where Dern has kinda like "infected" or spread ot

hybrid gazelle
#

Temple of Light Exist

frozen turtle
#

and Light forest is where Light/orphion has

hybrid gazelle
#

like you could argue it's the elves try to spread influence of light but like

#

why is there only temple out here

#

ALdorei ahs no temple

#

Efilim has no temple

#

why is the only Light Temple in this entrie fucking world

#

left abanoned in some fuck off nowhere

whole river
#

Thinking on it it’s weird how insular religions are in wynncraft. Or just outright not existing

hybrid gazelle
#

Because direction back in the day

#

is very indecisive

#

which is no longer the case currently

#

which is good

whole river
#

Even in Fruma

hybrid gazelle
#

I think there still some idea of the queen treated as a god

#

it just do not have oppurnity to be brought up

#

but it did get brought up when it can

#

I think CT point it out that they accidentally shift away from the queen being treated god mostly due to the direction

narrow kestrel
hybrid gazelle
#

but like you can still see it

narrow kestrel
#

the plan flopped

#

so they didnt bother trying

hybrid gazelle
#

the plan flop yet the elves still worship the light so like

narrow kestrel
#

if your religion gets smothered by bovemists

hybrid gazelle
#

I kinda expected Light Temple somewhere

frozen turtle
whole river
#

Yeah but I mean like, there’s no missionaries for the queen. Or actual tenets. Bovemists hard carrying

narrow kestrel
#

it probably shouldnt edxist lol

frozen turtle
#

like if they tried to expand it, they would've built them further a field

hybrid gazelle
#

TBH I think we just missing that

narrow kestrel
#

is there actual lore for bovemist churches or

#

is it just a gag thing

hybrid gazelle
#

like people who enforce belief of the queen

#

Bovemist has actual lore

#

Bovemist is like

frozen turtle
#

i have lore ideas about bovemists

narrow kestrel
#

SHHHHH

hybrid gazelle
#

in a limbo between

narrow kestrel
#

I havent seen it yet

hybrid gazelle
#

serious lore

narrow kestrel
#

where i can see it

#

which SD

hybrid gazelle
#

and non serious lore

#

there is no SD

#

about bovemist

narrow kestrel
#

oh..

hybrid gazelle
#

that the problem

#

it's in limbo between meta joke and not meta joke

whole river
#

Just realized we have the lexdale church and we don’t even know their concrete faith

narrow kestrel
#

ngl i thought grook had a religion too because of how much they substitute grook for god

hybrid gazelle
narrow kestrel
#

but rn its just bovemists no?

hybrid gazelle
#

because they talk about how people believe in fath or whatever

#

and like

#

"what do they worship?"
"IDK lol"

whole river
#

Lmao

frozen turtle
#

i have a crackpot theory that it started when Wocs descended onto Earth and people mistook them as gods or smth

narrow kestrel
#

it had like

#

ONE fucking quest

#

???

#

and its somehow designated as a town?

whole river
#

They removed that bad quest a LONG time ago and then never added another substitute

hybrid gazelle
#

I guess it still funny but like

whole river
#

for the church

hybrid gazelle
#

wynncraft taken itself more seriously now

narrow kestrel
#

i have no idea why lexdale is even marked on the map

hybrid gazelle
#

so bovenmist just kinad exist

#

it's there

narrow kestrel
#

when its so irrelevant

formal bridge
#

Lexdale feels like it was supposed to be the original dark forest town but then you have gelibord too and they awkwardly coexist

hybrid gazelle
#

this is funny because

#

there implication that bovemist exist pre corruption war in Wynn

#

but we know there are 5 original fruman god

formal bridge
#

And both have barely any depth to them

hybrid gazelle
#

so IDK if bovemist has to do anything with those 5 gods

#

or it just wynn people just go "fuck it we just worship our own thing"

narrow kestrel
#

😭

#

fucking. have the villagers there chase lari with pitchforks or smth

#

to parallel dullahan

hybrid gazelle
#

Consider

frozen turtle
#

Lexdale has lore like it has um

hybrid gazelle
#

COnsider the fact that bovemist have evidence to originate in Wynn and exist before corruption war due to Nemract Catheral

frozen turtle
#

witch trials

hybrid gazelle
#

and how wynn was splitter off colonies from Fruma

#

it likely religion about agricultural

#

but then again I jsut find it odd it has nothing to do with the 5 rune gods

narrow kestrel
#

and it was just us chasing a parasite

hybrid gazelle
#

consider how Bak'al help Anathema build resonace weaver by raiding wynnic settlements during earlier time of Corruption War

narrow kestrel
#

nothing more after that!

hybrid gazelle
#

implying that wynn people back then know what runes are

#

so you would have though that Wynn people back then would also worship the 5 fruman gods

#

but like

#

no they worship bovemist apperantly???

frozen turtle
#

are there cows in Fruma

narrow kestrel
#

there will be when i get there

#

🐄

#

the cow disguise is so cute

#

oml

#

i just wish it wasnt so clunky to use on assassin

#

i cant see wtf im doing

hybrid gazelle
#

Like you would though wynn people would worship Tolos

#

but oh well

narrow kestrel
#

it probably goes hard on mage/archer tho

hybrid gazelle
#

I mean

#

I feel like they could remake bovemist into remnant of religion that once worship Tolos

#

like the corruption war has wipe so much record

#

that only Tolos left and people only have that to worship

#

but the issue is

frozen turtle
#

i kinda think (this is probably just smth im making up and retroactively connecting) is that when the Woc's were sent to earth, early Wynn people (with little knowledge of magic or anything), seeing cows literally come from the sky/heavens would probably make you think they are some sort of higher power

hybrid gazelle
#

Tolos is a stag

#

it's not a cow

#

it's a stag

#

so most plausible explaination

#

is that corruption war fucked up shit so bad

mossy badge
hybrid gazelle
#

and only thing they can piece together

#

the people mistaken Tolos for being a cow

frozen turtle
mossy badge
#

Like most quests

hybrid gazelle
frozen turtle
#

ah yeah and it has been updated since then

hybrid gazelle
#

and we odntk now WHEN they crash landed

#

but I imagine it WAYYYY after corruption war

frozen turtle
#

did they land in Gavel?

hybrid gazelle
#

yes?

frozen turtle
#

didnt Drale travel from Wynn to Corkus to Gavel

hybrid gazelle
#

I mean they literally building base in Gavel

frozen turtle
#

to set up base

hybrid gazelle
#

well

#

that come with many question

#

so like where did other Wocs came from

#

if he did set up base AFTER Tunnel Trouble

#

that even more so of how the fuck do you build this base under 1 year span

frozen turtle
#

im pretty sure they did land in Wynn first

hybrid gazelle
#

where tho

#

like

#

what hte reason

shy hemlock
#

not sure if it is exactly “lore” but what is the relevance of the “Hero” motif? Like i have only noticed it in two themes so far (them being Orphion and Syndra battles), and saw mentions of it in other themes too but couldnt find them

frozen turtle
#

it may of not been in 1 exact location

uneven basin
#

There's a timeline in drale's diary and it's very short for what he accomplishes

frozen turtle
#

but im assuming at least a good few were from Wynn cuz of the diary

frozen turtle
mossy badge
#

Cowfusing

hybrid gazelle
#

Drale lore in weird

#

again

#

old gavel lore

#

it just what it is

frozen turtle
#

cuz we first see him in Woc form right? but later it says it was only after tunnel trouble im assuming did cows be able to turn back into Wocs

#

who knows

#

cowfusing

hybrid gazelle
#

there suppose to be something deep with Drale

#

but I geniunely forogt what it alla bout

#

about expectation and burden to help his peopel escape and return home

#

or something

#

they all are exiles so like

frozen turtle
#

yeah they're all exiles

hybrid gazelle
#

apperantly exiles are turn into normal ass cow

#

that

frozen turtle
#

tho im assuming Drale somehow wasnt turned into a cow

hybrid gazelle
#

that is a lot of weird implication

uneven basin
hybrid gazelle
#

I dont think their arrival in wynncraft world would be recent

#

because the thing is that

frozen turtle
#
  • updated in 2.0
#

like completely revamped

hybrid gazelle
#

I highly dbout any of them would still left alive if it go for like 10 years LOL

#

most of them probably get fucking butcher before Drale can save anyone

frozen turtle
#

maybe there were multiples "waves" of exiles

#

like groups got exiled

#

over periods of time

#

idk

#

i guess you could say its, cowfusing

hybrid gazelle
#

yeah no not really a fan of wocs to begin with

#

so whatever

#

they exist

uneven basin
#

I really don't understand the decision of adding them honestly
