The Next Update

I have an idea for the next Wynncraft update: The Class Update

We've had the same 4 classes for an extremely long time now, and I think adding a few more would be really cool! It would encourage people to finally start back from lvl 1, since a lot of players stick with their lvl 100 save.

I don't know how difficult it is to make an entirely new class in Wynncraft, but I imagine it's pretty challenging. But if we can get the Gavel Update and the Economy Update, new classes doesn't seem like a stretch.

I know it would be difficult to make new classes that are balanced and fun. The reason we have 4 in the first place is because of the stats: Damage, Defense, Range, and Spells. However, maybe these new classes can be like new alterations of existing classes. Maybe there can be a Paladin, which has extremely high damage, but his other stats are pretty bad. Similar to a warrior, but with different stats and spells.

Sidenote: I know we technically have the donor classes, which gives us 8 classes, but they don't change up the classes very much or even at all.

 

The next update is either going to be RtD or JP's guild update, whichever finishes first(or both if they finish together I think).
And yes, donor classes are only reskins of the regular classes as if they were new ones it would break the EULA I think
The problem with new classes is like literally everything has to be changed. New tutorials for the new classes, new quest rewards for class specific quest rewards, and a couple hundred weapons, balancing for those weapons, at this point probably new professions for them, etc. Just too much work for rn I think. Also, if you want "subclasses", or alterations of current classes, there is a thread about that: https://forums.wynncraft.com/threads/subclasses-version-1-2-30-supporters.243579/

 

class threads gonna be more common than housing and backpacks combined soon

 

I hope not

 

Here is an official answer:

Spoiler

Adding a new class would be cool and we had ideas for that for a while (i'll tell more later in this post), but keep in mind the challenge to add a single new class:

First, we'd have to, of course, code it and design it. By itself it's already a good amount. Then, we need to add 20 basic weapon models (which before we dropped 1.8, was impossible as we were missing space in the pack unless we made them 1.9+ only). We'd also need to make a new weapon type of every crate cosmetic weapon skins (at least 10 high quality models) Then, we need to make around 300+ weapons and balance them properly. Then, we need to update every quest reward that gives weapon as rewards, or use classes (like the new tutorial) in any way. Then, we need to add new materials/recipes or professions to allow crafting these weapons. And we gotta keep in mind the classes are very important to the story, even Bob's lore is linked to it. That'd be the easiest bit to update (ToL statues, armour stand in ragni castle, etc), but still worth mentionning.

And if we don't do all that in one go, it means we rushed the update from the player's point of view. Anyway I'm not sure which part of that we could drop without it hurting the new class significantly. Overally my point is that it's a shit ton of work that would require almost the whole team full time attention on this. It'd be rad as hell though, I agree! We might do it in the future, we got a lot of ideas.

TLDR: They might add a new class in the future (this doesn't mean that it will be add soon, it might take years to be added).
Thread

So yeah, we need to wait for a new class so there is no need to make a thread asking for a new class, but if you'll make a detailed thread go for it.

 

You know, just saying “add new classes” won’t even get your suggestion looked at by anyone that has choice over this matter

No detail about what this classes should be.
