What do you think the next major update will include?

Well, it's been over 8 months since 1.20 released, and we don't have any real clue what 1.21 will bring. I saw a bunch of threads where people discuss what they think the next update will be, but lets think realistically: what is the next update most likely to actually add? We don't have any real hints as to what comes next (except for bugfixes, I hope), so anything is possible.

Given that major teasers tend to be posted roughly 8-9 months after the last big update (purely going off of the announcements forum section), I feel like we might get some news soon, but who knows? In the meantime, lets speculate. Maybe we'll predict all of 1.21 somehow.


(i'd join in but since i was a mod for like 2 weeks post 1.21 im not really allowed to rip)

 

Fruma along with some endgame content most likely. Tasim will probably a main character in fruma.

Another thing, but probably not so likely is a huge class balance change to make classes like shaman more viable and make more legendary/mythic more viable

 

I'm kinda expecting the next update to be an Ocean or Wynn revamp. My guess is that some builds will be updated, some quests will be reworked to be more modern, while others will be mostly just replaced, and there will be some new secret discoveries in areas that don't have them. The update will probably not be on the level of the Gavel revamp (in terms of things changed), though. I think that the people expecting Dern of Fruma are going to find themselves disappointed in a few months.

 

Ocean revamp or Fruma

 

I will be optinistic and say (at least) one of the lore discord's lore reworks.
Actually, Jungle seems promising since iirc one of the CT was curious about it/what do we want to change.

 

The Skien Update:
+ more Skien
+ All RoL questline characters replaced with Skien
+ Skien is now a part of all lore (as opposed to 99%)

 

I'm about 70% sure we're getting an ocean revamp

 

Id like the Ocean revamp too, to be more realistic. I'd like them to increase the size of the ocean by aprox 100x, and increase seaskipper travel time by an extra 1.5 hours. In order to not bore the player, the Seaskipper will talk non-stop throughout.

 

i'm probably biased as i enjoy class building much more than the game but i would really like to see some FFN added

 

Ocean revamp, plus the second half of the Gavel update.
By the second half of the Gavel update, I mean a revamp to quest 75+ and re-adding the two quests they removed and stuff of that nature.

 

Memes

 

In that case, we're getting IKEA as a dungeon next update.

 

Would be really cool if they finally got wynncraft to work for 1.13+ instead of 1.12+. 1.13 swimming mechanics are what's needed for an ocean revamp imo. I also hope we're getting a map addition of some kind. Like how updates used to add small areas such as the mesa for 1.12 and lusuco/dernel jungle for 1.13. Perhaps and ocean expansion east of Corkus?

 

I guess either ocean rework/bits of fruma lore or
new corrupted dungeon/raid.

what I hope to see in the future are (long term)

on the world side:
realm of darkness (dern), nether/realm beyond the portal, dernel jungle lore and fruma itself.

on the mechanics side:
more mayor ids, skill point perks, overhaul of the soul point system and pvp balancing.

 

I've heard CT say that there isn't enough revampable content in the Ocean for it to warrant a major update, so I'll have to go with Fruma

 

I'd say the stuff that's the most likely for 1.21:
- Corrupted Galleon's Graveyard: 1.20 skipped out on a Corrupted Dungeon because Raids were added, which more than fine imo, and I'd definitely say that a Galleon's Graveyard Rework could come out of this as well, as it the worst mechanically unique dungeon (in other words, tries to stand out, but in very bad ways)

- Fruma: Considering 1.19 gave the Silent Expanse, I would say the next major region added would be Fruma, followed by Dern, and possibly the Nether. With that I kinda hope that there will be another dungeon, like Potatomancer did (iirc) to go alongside with CGG. I also feel that Tasim would be a major character in the Fruma arc.

- LOOOOOOOORE: Some lore is ridiculously outdated *cough* Bob *cough* so some lore reworks could be nice. (totally not biased but do wynntheory ones k thx bai)

- Wynn + Ocean (+ Maybe Corkus?) Reworks: This kinda ties in to outdated lore, the Ocean in particular does not feel like a major part of the story when I feel as if it should be, and it has a lot of potential but barely any shines through for me. Wynn also kinda ties in as well, some lore is a bit icky (Arakadicus, Charon, and also explain why the Player does not get corrupted for a lore reason other than 'you're the player'). I'd say also Corkus could be included, but it instead feels more unfinished rather than outdated (Cerid, why exactly does LI exist?, no ultimate).

- Early Game Revamp: I don't like that most quests in the early game are fetch quests. Sure, there are some cool ones (Sewers of Ragni, and Tunnel Trouble. Does Misadventure on the Sea count as an early game quest? I think it does.), but most tutorial quests lack substance to make them feel interesting (like Cook's Assistant), and some don't even teach the player anything useful (Elemental Exercise). I seriously think that Elemental Exercise needs a huge revamp to actually make sense to a new player on what elements are. I also think that maybe there could be a tutorial crafting quest (all Lv 1 requirements btw) located in Ragni or Maltic.

- SP Rework: Both abbreviations of SP (Soul and Skill Points). Soul Points are very discouraging towards new players, as they can die pretty easily on the Emerald Trail, and losing more and more items discourages exploration, as they can lose key parts of their build. I think at the very least that armor, accessories, and weapons can't be lost, so that way, newer players don't get discouraged as much. I'd even say that maybe for hunted, there could be items identical to current items, except there could be a new rule, Hunterbound, which means that they act like items on Ironman, they can't be transferred to another player or your bank. They can only be transferred upon death. idrk tbh but I think it could be a cool concept. Skill Points kind of lack the 'Skill Tree' feel, as all it just is, are simple bonuses in the stat. I definitely think there should be more individuality with Skill Points, (A Water skill tree perk could be that all spells have a balanced cost, which means that spells with a lot of added spell cost would not cost as much, and spells with a lot of casting reduction would cost more mana, keep in mind this is just a concept) so that way its not "better stats with no perks."

So that's kinda about it with all the major stuff I want.

 

I'm thinking it will be an Ocean and Jungle rework.

 

sry bug fixes have been canceled

 

Galleons Graveyard Rework and of course new Corrupted dungeon. As dungeon reward you can upgrade your White Horse to a maximum of 45. New Horse Tier Unicorn (50 lol).

Pots will get a major rework (exclusive pot items/ingrediants!)

Strati will get a Major ID. (or like a 5 hp buff)

Your offhand will be useful after the update (hopefully).

New Mythics/Fabled Items!

 

some sort of new/reworked region definitely
