90% sure we'll get a proper lvl 120 with wastelands

frozen turtle
#

i think wasteland would work better as an offshoot to the mistwood questline but it could be that too

#

or maybe even spanning more levels

hybrid gazelle
#

eyah

frozen turtle
#

idk

hybrid gazelle
#

and the true colour seems to suggest so

frozen turtle
#

like we better be going into the prison to break out the people

#

like surely

hybrid gazelle
#

the lack of dungeon in Fruma really feel like Wasteland should be side content

#

and having it being splitter off from Mistwood would make the wasteland be on par the same leve as Highalnd

signal bough
#

I think we're gonna have Rurie say 'well there's only one active field army left in Fruma, let's go to Deraj!'

hybrid gazelle
#

which make it enjoyable for those who finish Fruma

hybrid gazelle
#

like looking at the story onward

#

having the end of the climax and jsut have

#

"Okay guys let's deal with wasteland"

#

just very weird pacing for the story

#

than to just has an epliogue

signal bough
#

there's gotta be something there tying in with Dern

hybrid gazelle
#

and we know there going to be epliogue as a quest

#

also it just weird to have 120 quests with no progression

#

that just

#

that just weird LOL

frozen turtle
#

there could potentially be a random epilogue type quest after apothesis similar-ish to AHC ig which doesnt progress the main story as much

#

idk

hybrid gazelle
#

there will be

#

CT said it

frozen turtle
#

oh yeah

hybrid gazelle
#

that epliogue will be a quest

#

or at least something similar to it

#

that why I skeptical about Wasteland to be epliogue thing

frozen turtle
#

so maybe it'll be apart of wasteland or at least, release at the asme time

hybrid gazelle
#

and just side story happen along side fruma main story

signal bough
#

also don't we know what's coming next? 'The Butterfly Effect'?

frozen turtle
#

i dont know hwy the epligue would be there

hybrid gazelle
#

Butterfly effect is the raid tiself

#

because ANathema theme is butterfly effect

#

also that been removed in release

#

which tbh I think that what they tryin to say

#

that Butterfly effect chapter is the raid itself

frozen turtle
#

unless the wasteland has more lore potential than we know and an epliogue would work idk

spring kernel
hybrid gazelle
#

ah I see

signal bough
frozen turtle
#

it may not even be in fruma but be in wynn potentially

signal bough
#

cause its 'a butterfly flapping its wings can cause a tornado on the other side of the world'

hybrid gazelle
#

it weird that they remove it and has Anathema theme being butterfly effect lOL

untold warren
#

What would Avos taste like?

hybrid gazelle
#

what the term mean yeah

#

the butterfly effect likely refering

#

to how Orphion and Saphanis will take action

#

after Anathema is out of the picture

signal bough
#

you could argue that the queen turning into an evil ass moth and opening a rift is consequences enough but I disagree

untold warren
#

what if Fruma is just consequences?

signal bough
#

Fruma 2

hybrid gazelle
#

The consequence of Fruma story is literally

#

that Orphion and Saphanis free to take action

#

which is set up for future story

#

again I highly dbout Wasteland will be that important because it seems to be more fruma side story

#

like according to what we know about wasteland

#

the story in the wasteland is not deemed imporant by CT to be part of Fruma update

untold warren
#

Theres a chance, but its ehhh

frozen turtle
#

consquences would be corruption may start acting weird, and light & dark stuff maybe

hybrid gazelle
#

the

frozen turtle
#

but idk if they'd put light and dark stuff into the game before dern is released

#

like

hybrid gazelle
#

the story spell it out

#

the consequence

#

of the story

#

Guys

untold warren
#

I'm not entirely listening to this conversation, sorry

spring kernel
#

Anathema says what the consequences would be of her not being around anymore

hybrid gazelle
#

like she said it

#

in every dialogue branch

frozen turtle
#

yeah that light and dark would be free to conquer and shit

#

i would also assume the realm of war would be affected in some way

signal bough
#

I hope deraj is like nova prospekt from hl2

#

shame the only explicit hl2 content we got sucked(airboat)

mossy widget
#

why does this gif kind of have mold on it

hybrid gazelle
#

the mold grow,,,

#

from content prespective

#

having wasteland as side content counterpart to Highalnd

#

would help a lot with level gap

#

and add more end game contents that coudl be enjoy by those who finish Fruma nad also by those who has not finish fruma

#

and also would open a space for Fruma dungeon

#

if that the case ofc

signal bough
#

the problem with leveling is almost entirely in mistwoods

hybrid gazelle
#

they probably add new quest like adasaur quest

#

just likely

#

not sure

hybrid gazelle
#

I am not ocunting on it

#

but it a lot more plausible

#

than them just adding new region without increasing level cap

#

also it just create a good split story

#

between Sui and Yusano

#

again most of my point explain in the doc

#

too lazy to say it

untold warren
#

I feel like at some point in time, they'll stop increasing the level cap

hybrid gazelle
#

do we know that this is max level

#

as come from the CT themselves

untold warren
#

Nah, its from an item drop in WTP

hybrid gazelle
#

that

#

I dont think that a good level indicator

untold warren
#

Charm of something something, combat experience between lvl 120 to 131

hybrid gazelle
#

what items

untold warren
untold warren
hybrid gazelle
#

oh that

#

at least it's an evidence

untold warren
#

it could be higher though, i dunno

signal bough
#

damn thought it would be 126

untold warren
#

But at what point are they gonna stop at a certain level cap? Because we're getting really close to needing 1B just for a single level

signal bough
#

10 delicious levels of dern 😍

untold warren
#

How much is xp needed to go from 119 to 120 again?

#

I'll just guess 115m

#

so by around lvl 142, we might need a billion xp just to get to lvl 143

signal bough
#

we are fine until it takes 2147483647 xp to get to the bonus level

untold warren
drifting aurora
#

it's a loot bonus charm that's 111 to 131 in order to not stack with the tcc charm

cedar kernel
#

Nah it’s up to 131 for future proofing

#

For when 131 content is added properly

drifting aurora
#

no

hybrid gazelle
#

omg what if Dern is like SE 2 where level cap become 125 with 3 quests in the entire expansion

stray karma
#

If it comes in 7... skull

formal bridge
#

17 years for 1 quest

#

AHC rekindled

#

Now it's 50 stages with even more esoteric places to trigger cutscenes

#

The corkus section is half the quest now

limber swan
#

why would dern need a shit ton of quests

#

I guess maybe it has like 5 quests and a ton of caves

#

I don't see how it could even have a town

#

the ROL doesn't have a town

#

why would Dern?

vestal sentinel
#

for wynn's story

hybrid gazelle
#

It's the end of War of the Realm story

#

but as MMORPG goes

#

it will continue

#

through different storyline

#

I think CT did say they have some open thread they can pull for new story

dim plover
#

There's going to be another two realms that's like, above the Light and Dark realms

#

Like, on the next universal existence above

drifting aurora
#

play jenga with the realms

dim plover
#

And they're going to be at war with each other as well

vestal sentinel
#

maybe they should branch over to sth like

dim plover
#

What should we call the realms

vestal sentinel
#

collecting wools and put them on monuments

dim plover
#

The Realms of Dight and Lark

hybrid gazelle
#

next storyline we going to have story about realm of good and evil

#

and we gonna have

#

good beast and evil beast

#

and there is no morality gray in this story at all,

#

it straight up just forward we gotta kill evil beast

golden flicker
#

imagine if the next story was one affected by the players in real time

#

that'd be the craziest thing

#

the fate of Wynn is in the playerbase's hands

hybrid gazelle
#

it already is

#

espically after Fruma

#

but having wynncraft react dynamically to what player does

#

is depend like

#

to what extend??

golden flicker
#

i mean it like a war scenaario

vestal sentinel
#

let's make guild war canon

golden flicker
#

LOL

vestal sentinel
hybrid gazelle
#

what you mean by war scenerios

golden flicker
#

like a civil war over

#

something

#

lmao

#

probably wouldnt make sense

#

but i think it'd be interesting

hybrid gazelle
#

I dont understand

golden flicker
#

i dont understand either tbh

hybrid gazelle
#

is not the whole story revovle around war to begin with?

golden flicker
#

im just throwing out ideas

vestal sentinel
#

maybe like after corruption and war of realms is somehow solved, conflicts between humans and/or villagers could rise again

golden flicker
#

^

hybrid gazelle
#

I mean yeah that could be plausible

#

but taht entirely depend if the story can be engaging as war of the realms to the next story of wynncraft story

golden flicker
dim plover
#

Is this falcon-looking thing supposed to be her crown or smth

#

It's a different red compared to the rest of the model

hybrid gazelle
#

maybe when they rework early game, you probably right

#

player mf be getting soldier title when they doing bare minimum of months of service for millitary

at least they take out important target I guess

#

if Charon that important

#

I guess

slim belfry
#

player is a rank just below private somehow

hybrid gazelle
#

they probably be in special unit but at the same time it not liek they ever do a lot of millitary operation

#

and even some of them that close to millitary operation, they just wander around randoml and people take them in

vestal sentinel
#

world renowned hero never got a promotion 😭

hybrid gazelle
#

yeah because

#

why would they get promotion

#

they dont even do anything for millitary itself

#

that just your own thing

vestal sentinel
#

perhaps

golden flicker
#

i mean

hybrid gazelle
#

that shit is like you should get promotion because you doing your own personal project

#

like no I am not fucking paying you extra

golden flicker
#

if we take world of warcraft as a comparison

hybrid gazelle
#

just becuase you decide to go to italy and do fuck all

golden flicker
#

the player is more or less

#

an adventurer

hybrid gazelle
#

they are

golden flicker
#

and a champion of wynn

dim plover
#

Is Anathema the most powerful thing in the Realm of War

golden flicker
#

so even without an official military designation

hybrid gazelle
#

I mean

#

yeah sure nothing suggest otherwise

vestal sentinel
#

if u dont do much for the military at which point would you just get kicked out

hybrid gazelle
#

Player probably should get kick out

#

but apperantly Tasim is the only one who deserted

#

and not player

vestal sentinel
#

fire

hybrid gazelle
#

but like to be fair Tasim left earlier than the player did

#

but like all of them should be deserter

#

which tbh I dont know how they allow to walk free in Wyn

#

but sure why not

#

mf don even parcipate in large scale battle like

#

they never do any of that

#

at all

slim belfry
vestal sentinel
#

did ragni king want to rid of wynn excavation again

hybrid gazelle
#

the closet thing is Charon stuff

#

Yes

#

Ragni King been fighting against wynnex

#

but that more war through politic

#

than actual fighting involve

vestal sentinel
#

well, we did fight for the nation's interest

hybrid gazelle
#

well there likely fighting involve

vestal sentinel
#

maybe that's why we havent been kicked out

hybrid gazelle
#

yeah we did but that does not mean you are part of millitary,

#

rank in millitary often measure how much you can lead people

#

becuase the higher you go, the more people you will lead

#

so like just because you take out cthullu does not mean you have a social skill and ability to lead 100 peoples or more

#

peopel probably WILL respect you

#

but leadership is another skill

#

so no

#

yhol shit

#

mr beast

#

so no

vestal sentinel
#

mr beast pls give me 3 dollars

#

i need it

hybrid gazelle
#

just becuase you killing god-like beings without millitary's word

#

you aint getting promotion

#

unless SPECIFIC circumstance

vestal sentinel
#

just saying maybe that's why we dont get punished for kinda deserting

hybrid gazelle
#

also even more so player does not even live up their service

vestal sentinel
#

like a pardon or sth idk

hybrid gazelle
#

that would explain it

vestal sentinel
#

same with tasim

#

somehow

hybrid gazelle
#

nah Tasim got call out

#

Jenprest call him out on his deserting

#

but there probalby more pressing matter at hand

#

tho I pretty sure if he stay in Detlas any longer

#

admiral aegis probably jump him

slim belfry
#

it's sad given many recruits don't even wanna fight

hybrid gazelle
#

still tho pretty irresponsible thing for player to do

#

again

#

not saying that they own their life to Wynn

#

it just Wynn also has troubled with the undea

vestal sentinel
#

owe* now explode

hybrid gazelle
#

it's morally gray zone thing that Wynncraft never fukcing talk about despite have the whole quest about gray morality

hybrid gazelle
#

it's odd is not it that one of the most morally gray aspect of the game which is whatever Fruman recruits should be serve their service for province that they never know exist

#

never really talk about

vestal sentinel
#

wait did caid desert

#

like

#

tf was he doing

hybrid gazelle
#

0 idea

#

He probably transport stuff for wynn

#

but again 0 idea

#

but you can probalby come up with your own intereptation

drifting aurora
#

caid quit the war

vestal sentinel
#

like resign?

#

wait is he supposed to be old

hybrid gazelle
#

I dont think it ever specify when he get to Wynn

#

so I think that fine

#

he probably live out his service

vestal sentinel
#

what did tasim do in gavel again

golden flicker
#

he just adventured around there afaik

#

lol

hybrid gazelle
#

Orc War

#

we know he is part of orc war

#

and also wandering around

#

but beside that

#

we dont know

#

bujt he defintiely deserted

vestal sentinel
#

huh where is that mentioned

hybrid gazelle
#

Queen's recruit

#

and Festival

vestal sentinel
#

ic

golden flicker
#

and in dialogue during wynnter fest

hybrid gazelle
#

we will see what he do in orc war

#

but consider Jenprest reaction I dont think it that bad

#

so I highly dbout he help the orc

#

but probably butt head with Kymer

slim belfry
#

he and kymer's interaction

vestal sentinel
slim belfry
#

yeah

vestal sentinel
#

ooh

hybrid gazelle
vestal sentinel
#

so is current orc related stuff just not gonna be canon in the future

hybrid gazelle
#

depend

#

I am not sure

#

hard to say

#

the main meat likely going to stay the same but with Tasim

#

dont see anything else to change about orc war beside having them more connected

vestal sentinel
#

sounds nice

hybrid gazelle
#

there probalby more but we dont know

#

we also need to have Tasim interact with light and dark stuff

#

probably again in Gavel

vestal sentinel
hybrid gazelle
#

yes

#

imply at least

#

he does not seems to surpirse when he talk about how the queen talking about the war been Light and Dark

frozen turtle
#

it's basically confirmed

#

"Sovereign Tasim: Sigh... You remember what she said, don't you? A ceaseless, meaningless war, fought by forces beyond our power?
Sovereign Tasim: Haven't you seen the symptoms, the consequences? Light and Dark and the War they leave in their wake?
Sovereign Tasim: If one side wins, everything ends. Fruma, Wynn, Gavel- nothing will matter if they get what they want.
Sovereign Tasim: That's... what the tournament was for. She wanted someone powerful, who was from Fruma, but who had also seen... all of it."

#

She wanted someone powerful, who was from Fruma, but who had also seen... all of it.

#

..I guess that someone was me.

#

Though basically all the other tournament people i dont think have seen all of it

#

tbf Tasim hasn't really either, only the player has but oh well

narrow kestrel
#

he fucked off pretty early from Wynn so yea he didn't see much

#

though aledar and tasim together can probably match whatever Player has seen

split night
#

quest update should include us with Aledar or Tasim doing stupid fun little quest more often to build friendship

hybrid gazelle
#

the issue is that

#

there just no other quest that Tasim and Aledar can build a bond later

#

I can see them reunite again later down the line

#

but mannn they shot themselves in the foot with making Tasim left for Gavel

#

but IDK maye they have other plan

limber swan
#

like I know they can quit

#

but why

#

I feel like with a thing like the corruption War you would not be allowed to leave the army

frozen turtle
#

tasim sometimes feels like originally they were like "oh lets send him to gavel so we dont have to deal with him" and completely forgot that the player goes to gavel for like, like half the game

dim plover
#

I wonder if there’s a hard limit as to how much quest xp Wynncraft allows itself to give us per combat level

#

As in if someone plans to add a new questline in an already existing level range, like 80-90 for example

#

Then they’ll have to be careful about quest bloat

rustic nexus
# limber swan but why

it's not just soldiers that wynn would likely need to have a functioning society, so it could be that he sails to catch fish or transport goods, while only fighting if necessary

frozen turtle
#

my solution to quest bloat is to remove stupid quests

rustic nexus
frozen turtle
#

ultimate weapon

rustic nexus
#

no

#

free money

#

ultimate weapon should stay

frozen turtle
#

just make whatever quest u replace it with give more money

#

replace it with like, an actual good quest about the region which leads to free le

dim plover
#

Can someone theoretically add a new questline in 100-110 or will that plus Fruma quests be too much xp

#

Or even 110-120

#

I guess we can only have 1 major location per level range I suppose

rustic nexus
#

I think if there's any quests planned for fruma/wastelands currently, the xp amounts already account for that

frozen turtle
rustic nexus
#

but for future additions I'd imagine it would depend

dim plover
#

I’m trying to figure out if I can slot in a set of quests into the already existing set of official quests

#

I remember back when I was rewriting WynnEx I did make a few new quests for like, level 101-108

frozen turtle
#

level 90 to 100 already struggles with some region-quest bloat

dim plover
#

If I were to add them in now I dunno if it will conflict with Fruma

#

xp-wise

frozen turtle
#

there is no lvl 82 quest

dim plover
#

Like, I assume Wynncraft doesn’t want the player to be able to level up only via quests?

#

Like, am I guessing correctly here

frozen turtle
#

ig? well

#

late game it seems like it

#

early game u get xp like crazy just by going through the questline

stray karma
#

You can just not kill a single mob outside of content book activity and reach 120

#

Well you may be able to use crafteds for massive negative xp so you don't get enough for the 1-time dungeon completion of content book... But you must be deranged to think about that

cinder cedar
#

Caid might have retired from active military fighting duty, but he is still part of the logistics

#

Im really wondering how good Wynn's logistics are

hybrid gazelle
#

4 quests at best

rustic nexus
#

4 feels too much for just the wastelands tbh

hybrid gazelle
#

3 also more plausible

#

DEFINITELY 2 mainline

#

1 prtobalby gonna feature Sohso cameo

#

depend on what Wasteland also come wityh

frozen turtle
#

i want 5 questline of just Sohso

dim plover
#

If it helps I made 1

limber swan
#

even the Mistwoods has 4

#

and its side content anyways

#

why not give it a bunch of sidequests

#

I'd love to see some more quests like olmic rune

#

especially a horror quest thats kinda similar to olmic rune

#

that would be awesome

warm flicker
#

secret dialogue unlocks if u talk to sohso while having completed ??? quest

#

source: trust me

full jackal
#

I think early-game gives wayyy too much xp

#

to the point where I'm at least 6 levels overlevel for any content

compact agate
#

67

full jackal
#

But late-game exp grinding even when you try to do as much content as possible is pretty insane

#

I mean I think secret discoveries shouldn't be so... necessary to level up since they're y'know, secret

#

and level grinding should only be left for those who don't do all the quests

indigo wedge
#

there are definitely a lot more quests up until around level 85-90

full jackal
#

i mean like i think doing all caves, some WEs and quests should be enough to get from one level to the next

indigo wedge
#

fruma is sparsely populated in the quest department

full jackal
#

Like Early-game exp reqs should be way higher

full jackal
indigo wedge
#

quantity-wise not quality wise

full jackal
#

every quest is so good

indigo wedge
#

yeah

#

well not every quest

full jackal
#

So like honestly i'd rather have 21 good quests than 50 mid quests

indigo wedge
#

20 out of 21 fruma quests are good

full jackal
#

I mean when I can't think of a bad fruma quest

indigo wedge
#

celebrations in smoke

full jackal
indigo wedge
#

i might’ve missed something but it feels like off the rails but worse

#

it’s an okay quest but fruma quests have raised the standard so much that it feels out of place

full jackal
#

That quest was nice, I always like a good mystery

#

I mean I wish there was a deduction mechanic like in ace attorney investigations

#

but that's a pretty big expectation and insanely hard to work out

full jackal
#

Off the rails is goated asf

indigo wedge
#

yeah

full jackal
#

Oh wait no

indigo wedge
#

celebrations in smoke is a copycat

full jackal
#

sorry i misread

full jackal
hybrid gazelle
#

feel liek celebration in smoke and off the rail only share one common thing is that they are more mystery solving genre of quest

full jackal
#

OtR is more of a puzzle thing

hybrid gazelle
#

but they definitely have different tone

#

they actually does pretty well to show how wynncraft quest writing are different from the past

#

as they become more consider to the region they are in to fit with the theme of said region

#

so despite these 2 quests sharing the same genre

#

they have different message and tone

#

so even if they are similar to some people, I still believe that they are pretty good demostration to the modern quest writing to capture each region tone that the quest take place in

full jackal
#

And I liked how you have to confront the suspects after gathering evidence

#

(though i wish there were actual "wrong" options)

#

I mean though like I do wish there were wrong options

#

Like I feel the "right" options make it a bit too easy y'know like make the player actually have to think about what they're saying and the logical conclusions of the evidence they've gathered

#

But uhh like yea other than that

#

It was a great quest imo

#

other than gathering the medallion fuck that shit

#

wait there's actually a middle finger emoji what

#

🖕

#

holy fucking shit

slender copper
#

👆

full jackal
#

this is the equivalent of a caveman discovering fire

#

but uhh without the implication of me analogizing myself as a caveman

#

healing the world with comedyyyyy making a literal difference metaphoricallyyyyyyyyy

#

Oh but uhhh is there actually any lore behind the guardians of the plains

#

and the construct stuff

#

like uhh wait

#

"What instructs the old constructs were given have long been forgotten, and now they attack all that comes across their path with indiscriminate hatred."

#

So like were these built by the olm?

#

But they look a bit like villagers...

#

huh

#

maybe they're like early prototypes of golems????

#

Not sure honestly

slender copper
full jackal
#

I guess it's time to do architecture studies of wynn now

#

yay

#

(it's 10:48pm and i have school tomorrow)

full jackal
#

you know what FUCKING PISSES ME OFF

#

I took screenshots of the wynncraft cities

#

in minecraft and I'm trying to access the files

#

but it directly opens it in preview instead of directing me to the FUCKING FILE

#

why

split night
#

starwalker

full jackal
#

wait is zhiraok wearing a headdress or his his hair white

#

cuz i only ever seen it drawn as white hair

#

but he looks like he's wearing one of those head accessory things

full jackal
#

fuck i was doing research for wynnswap using google

#

and now they give ai answers for the "people also ask" section

#

who even asked for this

#

JUST READ THE WEBSITE GODDAMNIT

split night
#

wynnspin

full jackal
#

what?

cedar kernel
#

I meant

#

Beard

full jackal
#

... brown

#

but everyone draws his head thing as white

#

and as his hair

#

so like i'm genuinely confused

regal spire
#

Deraj alone could be 1-2 quests, and 2 side quests dedicated to changelings escaping, or helping prisoners, etc etc isn’t unreasonable to expect. And, if the wastelands extends to the underground, you could have even more tied to it

rustic nexus
#

I think deraj will be one quest

regal spire
#

Maybe it’ll just be a prisons server

#

It’s more so wondering what exactly could be under the wastelands. I keep feeling like there will be a huge af underground expansion

#

If not as an actually explorable expansion, as a dungeon of some sort

hybrid gazelle
#

1 quest is wasteland introduction

#

and then 2nd quest is deraj prison raid

#

where you prepping for deraj prison

#

and the quest only end after you complete the dungeon

#

or something along that line

#

or mayb just like aranhind ascend

#

where you get epliogue

regal spire
#

It’s crazy to me that Deraj has a train station

#

I wonder how far into the prison it will go

#

Also, I wonder if the wastelands will get a fog of its own

rustic nexus
#

I hope not

regal spire
#

I do saltroll

#

I like the fog

limber swan
rustic nexus
#

like

#

near the entrance probably

limber swan
rustic nexus
#

the player is

regal spire
wispy flicker
#

there

#

it exists

wispy flicker
limber swan
wispy flicker
#

I mean it would ruin the atmosphere

regal spire
#

I just think it’s really funny that a civilian train is also supposedly used to transport people (maybe even prisoners) to the wastelands

limber swan
#

I'm pretty sure

#

no clue what an electromagic train would look like though

hybrid gazelle
#

Dungeon rework for 2.3 please,,,

#

Like my baseless prediction rn

regal spire
#

2.3: Dungeons and Deraj

wispy flicker
hybrid gazelle
#

Is they going to updare the dungeon system but not update every single dungeon

wispy flicker
#

assasin will be the meta

#

in 2.3

regal spire
hybrid gazelle
#

It just gonna to be some dungeon getting rework for the new system

#

Yeah I don’t think underworld getting chanfe

#

Maybe later

wispy flicker
#

just update corrupted dungeons

#

and add new ones

regal spire
#

Charon needed a rework more than LS, in hindsight

wispy flicker
#

should be easier then fixing lutho quests

regal spire
#

The main problem with LS anyways was lore

hybrid gazelle
#

But I thinking that ds and ip will get updare to test out the new dungeon system

#

Because we already pass the point of tjose dungeon with the story rework

#

And tjose 2 dungeons are early game that probably be simple to rework

#

Compare to the rest

regal spire
hybrid gazelle
#

And deraj prison would be entirely new dungeon that build with new system in mind

regal spire
#

Charon just bugged for 1.5 years

hybrid gazelle
#

But idk depend the amount of content of 2.3 but this is just my prediction

#

Forgery idk how they gonna update it

regal spire
#

Idt I can go another dungeon related change update where UC stays the way it is rn, or SST still has Hashr

hybrid gazelle
#

I feel like forgery would be whwre all the work go into

#

I really want dungeon rewrok because it gojng to updare end game content

#

Cause rn frum has no dungeon

#

And dungeon system is pretty outfated

regal spire
#

If they do a dungeon system update, it means I can do another dungeon items only challenge run

hybrid gazelle
#

Updating dungeon would at least add some variety to end game than just raid and lootrun

regal spire
#

Grinding EO for tools would be more fun like

hybrid gazelle
#

I think core part of the dungeon will stay but idk

#

I still think having dungeon as exploration map with challenges in order to progress would be nice and keep the whole simplicity

golden flicker
#

bro

#

i feel sad for sui bro

#

i want to give her a hug

#

gotta say though, i like her sense of urgency despite the absolute tragedy going on rn

#

another tragedy is that i need to do world events again for a bit more xp before doing the other lvl 116 quest 🫠

low ether
#

Girlie needs a hug if she's fine with hugs, eesh

marble lantern
#

there are many people who need hugs in wynncraft

zenith coral
#

you guys think sui could 'loose herself' in her powers egodeathing into an elemental being? the whole natural manaweaver thing seems like unexplored territory and i am skeptical of her power cuz it seems to strong with no real drawback

whole river
#

I don’t think she has the potential to reach the heights of the strongest ngl.

#

Bob is just that different

whole river
#

If they’re going to go with dungeons being more narrative based they might as well make the bosses more unique again

zenith coral
golden flicker
#

i just want sui to remain as sui 😭

#

genuinely cannot handle losing another character to a bleak fate

zenith coral
#

atp im just stuck in the mindset that the rex and zhiraok death scene wasnt that good and was overdone (and not killing rex off cuz they didnt wanna kill off an interesting character made me wary) so i am just mentally awaiting an apology angst death. no, you dont get to make a new character for the purpose of killing them off thats a cop-out

abstract snow
#

yeah i didn’t love it either

#

realistically tasim could have cut rex’s arm off and not kill her and basically nothing would change except the nasin charm (which i don’t think should be a thing anyway lol) would still be charged

low ether
#

With Rex it could have been just her arm getting sliced off--fuck I got sniped

abstract snow
#

her “dying” and zhiraok “dying” does basically nothing at the end of the day except being a fake out

low ether
#

Zhi's third death though, I kinda do...sorta understand? Considering he overworked the fuck out of himself again, and it probably wasn't the first time he's worked himself to death post-blessing

abstract snow
#

i mean kinda but doesnt he have a revival blessing anyway

low ether
#

Though unless Soosu was able to get a leash on him, he went back to it after he took Rex to a medic

#

I dooont think the blessing is revival

abstract snow
#

self healing maybe

low ether
#

Doubt, it's more linked to some type of time manipulation
or just manipulation of something since he moves so damn quickly

abstract snow
#

possibly yeah

low ether
#

Which pairs uncomfortably well with how he feels like he has to constantly be on the move, if memory serves

#

need to check those diary entries again...

zenith coral
low ether
#

That only works if you know Japanese

zenith coral
#

i just respect the foreshadowing the minute he is introduced

low ether
#

Honestly fair, not gonna deny that after learning that bit of trivia

zenith coral
#

so yes i am looking forward to the death of a major character that is well-established (two doesnt count devs)

low ether
#

But yeah the charms probably on him as a result of overworking the breaks out of himself
repeatedly

zenith coral
#

i feel like i am owed a death

low ether
#

Revival from combat is a secondary

low ether
#

..suppose thats part of the fun tho

zenith coral
#

one of the steelworks brothers, yusanu or sui would be my bet

#

tasim is flag-free till dern happens

low ether
#

So at least three, cause im not sure they'd kill off Yuman thonk not saying they wont, just that the chances are lower with him

azure tangle
#

one of Zeph and Yuman are dead men walking

wintry sky
#

Kinda weird idea but I think some archetypes of classes can be traces to locations

#

Paladin - realm of light
Battlemonk - air temple and ravine area
Fallen - Silent Expanse

#

What would be other examples of that you think?

#

Like in a head canon way the character learns or masters the archetype in that area

azure tangle
#

Riftwalker feels Bantisu coded too

#

Lightbender is obvious

#

Trapper feels Dernal Jungle

wintry sky
#

Would acolyte be troms?

#

Seeing that the other shaman managed living sacrifices your player learns the value of blood but uses his own

zenith coral
#

fallen in se doesnt make any sense

#

i feel like acrobat is bantisu

low ether
#

Fallen has affinity for corruption, so at least realm of war adjascent

wintry sky
zenith coral
#

bak'al isnt a darkness person he is a corruption person

wintry sky
#

I would imagine after going through se the player gets corrupted by the horrors and hunters calling

low ether
#

Also Anathema recognizing when youre a Fallen

zenith coral
wintry sky
#

Would give explanation to why you can kill easily in fruma

zenith coral
#

frankly fallen could easily be headcanoned as 'controlled zombie virus'

#

it isnt like that but basically you get infected and can control it without going mad

#

in controlled bursts ofc

low ether
#

Getting a crunchy screenshot, hang on

zenith coral
#

theres no corruption in se

wintry sky
#

It doesnt have to match

#

Just thematically

zenith coral
#

well thematically fallen would be more like the corruption portal

wintry sky
low ether
#

She calls what a Fallen has 'mere embers'

zenith coral
#

i dont mean inside the portal

#

that would just be suicide

wintry sky
#

Yeah but were trying to headcanon archetype changes to the story

#

Hence why the trauma from se causes you to become fallen

low ether
#

So it's likely a warrior that got a wee bit cooked by said corruption, just not even close to the extent that Bak'al had to deal with

#

But theyre at least able to control it
Mostly anyway

zenith coral
#

i think riftwalker still fits into se more, theres literal rifts right there in se and your black hole literally has multiple eyes poking out

zenith coral
#

"uncontainable corruption", "beyond salvation" etc

low ether
#

💀 Before hitting those nodes then

zenith coral
#

even after were fine

wintry sky
#

I dont play assassin but would shadestepper fit almuj?

zenith coral
#

feels like a lore inconsistency but what do i know

zenith coral
#

fallen riftwalker and lightbender feel explicitly very "influency"

wintry sky
#

Oh ridtwalker is a mage archetype my bad 🙃

zenith coral
#

mage having 2 archetypes drawing from the realm of influence bodes well for their sanity and free will

wintry sky
#

Then where would arcanist fit?

low ether
wintry sky
#

Or the source of the power they are tapping into

zenith coral
#

the "normal" mage stuff

wintry sky
#

Order of the grook

zenith coral
#

but if we ever have a show with the mc having a defined personality the mage could very easily end up as an abomination and have to be put down in their epilogue

#

this is also what is balancing riftwalker (i heard its really stronk rn); a guaranteed bad ending

wintry sky
zenith coral
#

all this stuff about talents affinitys and the weave should have been lvl20 stuff lol

wintry sky
#

Learned magic from vibes and managed to reclaim rol, fix wars and fend of beasts

#

All in less than a year

#

Lari had a valid crashout

zenith coral
# wintry sky All in less than a year

actually canonically the storyline takes as long as you need to complete it. therefore in a speedrun case all of wynncraft canonically could take place in a day

zenith coral
wintry sky
#

Also whats the origin of the mc?

low ether
#

aaand thats another one

wintry sky
#

Iirc in recover the past it was said that the memories didnt exist

low ether
#

<@&268142859327242242> Got another one

zenith coral
#

again?

low ether
#

right as i send enter fml

wintry sky
#

Hence ur like an anomaly?

zenith coral
wintry sky
#

… oh god no

zenith coral
#

canon lore.

low ether
#

oh i hate it

wintry sky
#

But does that mean there another unknown force that got us in an area that would be least conspicuous

#

Would explain why mc is built diff

wintry sky
#

If there are no memories to recover

#

Player didnt exist in fruma

#

So how did u end up in the cart

zenith coral
#

yeah we dont have much canon lore but we do seem to have connections to the yellow resistance guys from fruma

#

they invented the class system apparentley

#

which is prolly a MASSIVELEY IMPORTANT clue

wintry sky
#

Bob must be a wanted criminal to them

zenith coral
#

one of my hc was that (based on the final moments of the yellow guys where they curse anathema and my jjk like) we were a literal and physical manifestation of a curse to kill anathema that got caught and whose memories got erased (the erasure process was harder cuz they were basically erasing the fundamental reason the curse exists [knowledge of the queen]) so now the player is left with all this destructive impulse but no outlet whatsoever. cue our general assholery and thuggishness in quests and otherwise

wintry sky
#

I can see that

#

The mc is very prone to violence

#

Although mc is only sometimes an asshole

zenith coral
#

a number of caves we raid are probably not something we should raid

#

also the citizen damage test thing

wintry sky
#

But on the other hand you stop generational wars and create peace

#

Help ppl solve their day to day problems

#

While also robbing banks

zenith coral
#

i think we just help anyone who asks

#

cant sit still

wintry sky
#

What if someone really evil asked

zenith coral
#

but no we dont have such an example i think

#

or maybe we do idk

wintry sky
#

Nah hes just…. Sick

wintry sky
#

I think the warrior logs from the soundtracks fit best

#

Mc is just a simpleton with too much power

#

Try to do good but get tricked or resort to violence cause you dont fully get the task

hushed zinc
# wintry sky Also whats the origin of the mc?

it's pretty ambiguous but likely something relating to the void considering the one anathema dialogue about her seeing something familar buried by emptiness and nothing where there should be something?

zenith coral
#

honestly at this point even if we disregard my joke theory about tasim birthing us in the cart the chances we popped into existence in the cart or a short while before and our 'benefactors' (see anathema dialogue, someone helped hide our hidden stuff) integrated us by integrating false memories are fairly high

#

or maybe tasim had a miscarriage and something breathed new life into the corpse and that void is the original us

hushed zinc
#

yeah the player kinda just popped in and someone hid whatever that familar spark but also got us into the recruit program probably?

#

or atleast made it look like we were

wintry sky
zenith coral
wintry sky
#

If you would be popped into existence the gates of ragni are perfect

zenith coral
#

cuz the class system is a big deal lore-wise apparentley

wintry sky
#

Fruman soldiers are exiles so no one cares about them and you dont remember anything

zenith coral
wintry sky
#

Probably in the transport train then

zenith coral
#

we just gotta fit in why we have access to such power that we really shouldnt have

wintry sky
#

Smuggled out of the province

#

Yeah why do fruman recruits have classes

zenith coral
#

they dont

#

we do

wintry sky
#

Tasim and aledar do?

zenith coral
#

more on that in that one fruma discovery in auburn

#

no they dont

#

thats the thing

wintry sky
#

Havent done any discoveries in fruma so idk

wintry sky
zenith coral
#

atleast not like us

wintry sky
#

Dont they also enter with a weapon in hand

#

Even in a journey home they had class weapons when you would hide from them

zenith coral
#

anyways the class system appears to be a huge deal and we are directed by yellow rebel people who dont speak to the discovery

#

who seem unnaturally friendly given everyone else mistakes us for a guard

wintry sky
#

Hmm

zenith coral
#

like this is probably a huge deal

wintry sky
#

I guess we have to wait for fruma 2

zenith coral
#

and while it is possible (maybe probable) that the queen then just made this knowledge known for recruits specifically (given that soldiers in fruma dont use it) our interactions with the yellow guys should be studied

#

the whole brainwash process should shed light on this

wintry sky
#

Yeah it doesnt make sense how youre able to just shoot magic from a stick when you come from a province where magic is illegal

mellow bone
#

Guardian Of The Forest shouldnt have stopped me from killing Lari

#

I could have ended this all

zenith coral
wintry sky
zenith coral
#

so a furry

wintry sky
zenith coral
wintry sky
mellow bone
#

My Uppercut + warscream can end all this f

hushed zinc
#

like you pop into existence, become a recruit with them none the wiser of the hidden spark due to whatever/whoever made you pop into existence

zenith coral
#

they just direct you into their secret hideout

#

then they vanish

hushed zinc
#

we have a class and that's familar to them so they try to have us learn more about them? makes sense to me

#

like their whole class thing was rediscovered which meant it was undiscovered for a time, so they see us with it and we appear as one of their own to that past rebel due to it

cinder cedar
#

ages of progress and work, just to create us

#

not that they did

#

but it is what we are

hushed zinc
#

200AP is when the Queen becomes Monarch and starts RA as a timing, the revolt happens in 200 RA so 400 AP, it has been 600+ years since the revolution seen in remains of the cursed, I think it's completely understandable to lose and regain the class sytem in that time and if you're something familiar to them it makes sense for whatever rebel's ghost/spirit to try and point towards their history

#

it still makes sense to have something/someone (probably related to the void? who knows) have you pop into Fruma as your existence, you become a recruit which is why you get a class, Fruma recruit program wipes the memories of which you didn't really even have any in the first place, thrown together with Aledar and Tasim and the rest is history

cinder cedar
#

what if salted is the realm beast of plane of influence aka wynn world?

#

because we have cow churches in all providences and silverbull

whole river
#

the recruits were never meant to get their memories back so for all they know they just had magic in Fruma and then hopefully they never dig deeper

slender copper
frozen turtle
#

i mean there is a theory that the player isnt actually from Fruma

#

i thin kthe evidence is just the lack of player-connection to Fruma, Recover the Past & the Caravan Driver/3 recruits coming together

zenith coral
frozen turtle
#

our parents are aledar and tasim yeah

zenith coral
slender copper
paper wyvern
#

and they obviously arent going to go into what the player was doing in fruma before getting sent away cause that should be up to however you want to interpret it

slender copper
#

Yeah, our wynn character is basically summed up by the quote "a character that is up to the player's interpretation however is seperate from the player"

So they are from Fruma, you are just allowed to decide what they were doing.

slim belfry
#

homeless player vs rich player

slender copper
slim belfry
#

I meant before

wintry sky
#

This is why i think there is more to the players origin than just a recruit

#

Personally i imagine the player is sent to restore balance to the world

exotic bough

wintry sky
exotic bough

wintry sky
#

Bruh

#

I just used the first url

paper wyvern
#

the wording is slightly different (same meaning though)

wintry sky
#

Anyways

#

To add to my point

#

Of all the provinces the ragni fruma gate is the most perfect area to sneak in and give opportunity to restore balance

#

Cause no one will notice if there is an additional recruit on the ragni side since they just accept whoever comes and from the fruman side they dont care

#

And being a soldier gives a lore wise justification to go around fixing stuff and fighting the corruption

wintry sky
slim belfry
#

I think this is more about the music no longer being used anymore

wintry sky
#

That makes much more sense

slender copper
hybrid gazelle
#

Ngl I hope every mount got their own quest

#

Would be nice world building and stuff

slender copper
drifting aurora
#

it probably will happen at some point in the future

golden flicker
#

the player is the harbinger of war /j

frozen turtle
#

So using the lack of history of the player as evidence the player didnt exist, is a bit counterinuitive

#

However saying that the memories "didnt exist" by Dr Picard + the fact that in all other recruits they came into Wynn as pairs, however we came as a Trio

#

I do not know what they are planning, if they wanted to have Player be from Fruma but have no other lore, in Recover the Past could've they of made the prison/mind erasing part be from our memory instead of Tasim?

hybrid gazelle
#

Stable story really need to be updare cause while mount tutorial exist

#

It just not very detailed and very surface level

slim belfry
#

stable story implying that mounts can fight

regal spire
hybrid gazelle
#

Thst made back in those day

#

Coukd be better but it okay as what it is

#

But definitely can be bettr with modern quest writing

#

The thing is that while stable story is okay I still feel like the quest could be use for world building to the world

#

Instead of

#

Whatever these cow people are

#

Cause in more modern quest writing like fruma quest for example

#

Even side quests actually go out of its way to explore and expand the region or even the world that the quest is in

#

So I want to see that mentality in future remake quest

regal spire
# hybrid gazelle Thst made back in those day

Stable story seems to really like maintaining the Woc aspect of itself, and idk if any of it will ever truly be narratively important or not, considering how much of a joke stable story is intended to be

hybrid gazelle
#

I will be real I just do not think woc should be introduce that early in the story

#

Especially when most of them are just joke

#

Just not a fan of how they implement in the story

#

Because it feel like they just relic of the past that they feel obligated to be included in

#

Like yeah as a joke it fine but like

#

You telling me people will fucking remember drale from tunnel trouble to cowfusion

#

But like thst fine

#

But not stable story I just

#

Are they even woc?

#

Drale don’t even mention them or anything

#

They just crazy cow people

golden flicker

everything just happening in the wynn province 😭

regal spire

Everything that has to do with the Woc’s is so fucking weird

hybrid gazelle

I think that the point theu jsut meant to be a joke

regal spire
hybrid gazelle
#

I guess??? I just

#

Feel like there otjer intresting you can focus on in the quest

Than

#

Funny cow people

Especially for stable story

Ternaves never stood out as a place where Woc’s would even exist, anyways

Sabotage a ranch in Ragni

you just kill CoW

they'll never know

It’s so funny to me that they actively went out of their way to update the location, but going through with said effort just ended up making the cutscene look stupid

does anyone remember the 2014 halloween masqurade quest

And even more so since now the ranch have loss all of their cows

golden flicker

those were the days

We all remember what was taken from me specifically

It would take more time to repopulate and replace all the missing cows

golden flicker

what was taken from you

regal spire

They could’ve just made it a cave 😔

lmfao

And even more so that ranch would be unable to produce milk and beef for a long time

regal spire

MY quest

golden flicker
#

OH?

Same with Craftsmas

This would mean more ration loss for the soldiers that likely go for months

hm

So yeah

split night
#

Ragni fort have like a field of wheat, judging the amount of cows in that ranch

#

i can say that it should be close

hybrid gazelle
#

Ragni likely responsible for majority of food production in Wynn

#

Also cow in basement coukd make sense for Wynn province

#

To prevent cow from being attack by undead

I find it funny that details like this is dismissable for early CT making Wynn quest without thinking the potential problem and the bigger picture
