Announcement An Update Regarding 1.21

thanks for the transparency

 

As stated above, thank you for clarifying all of this! I personally don't mind the delay at all if it means the next update can be at the best quality it can be, all these reasons for the delay totally make sense and I'm happy with them.

 

:eyes:

since 1.20 came out on january 20th this year, and going by the info in the thread, i'm not sure when 1.21 would come out, maybe sometime around march 2022?

 

Epic transparency!!

Could you somehow notify people when fixes get pushed? Was a bit confused when the push a few days ago happened for 1k meters, cowfusion, etc. and the only way to verify was to go by word from people who did the quest -> took a bit for #questions to get back on track & still don't know the full extent of changes

 

so far seeing the frequency and transparency of the ct on this update already, I feel like this is going in a better direction than 1.20 :D
Great work guys

 

A certain former longtime CT whom I will not name brought up an interesting thing a few weeks back, in that Wynncraft updates often have a tendency to overfocus on Shiny New Tech and end up letting the fundamentals of the content produced using that tech suffer. Just look at every past update, you can see quests that look really cool at first glance because they show off scripting tools that haven't been available before, but ultimately suffer when placed under further scrutiny as the mechanics begin to be outdated (think - animated armor stands NPCs in Gameplay update quests, movable NPCs in Corkus quests, D&D, unskippable cutscenes, etc.). I bring this up mostly after seeing the little piece in point #2, out of concern that this may happen again.

That aside - it's great to hear that some measure of spreading out content and not forcing it unfinished into the update is a thing. It's long been pretty much the fatal flaw of Wynncraft's update cycle, and a contributor to most issues in the game.

 

This isn't our news letter this month is it? XD
I don't think it is, just asking! <3

 

oh epic news update

 

I very much hope that this comes to fruition and is not just another buggy mess, I look forward to this update cautiously.

As you say I'm one of those who'd prefer that you take the time to polish things rather than push them early, so take your time.

(also API update when)

 

Woah
A development team
that actually gives their playerbase an accurate idea of future patches?
impossible

 

Take your time, no rush

 

get you a man who says dome

 

I appreciate you guys going through and fixing and improving current content like the dialogue system and CCI which I'm sure will be revisited. Right? Please?

Snide comments aside I'm actually am really happy to see existing content being brought up to a better level.

 

(It absolutely was )

(They absolutely do)

 

Daddy .

 

OwO. Seeking this is really what peeps needed. Giving up little updates on how things are going on on the CT side is what we really need and I'm sure peeps appreciate the communication. :3

Honestly, the patches sound really neat! Instead of just waiting around and twiddling our thumbs for the next release, it's nice to see some new content here and there. Makes peeps still be interested in Wynn with updates and keeps it fresh. (So long as it doesn't create the feeling of CT missing something, or leaves holes that obviously need fixing if there was set up. I'm looking at you Aldorei's Secret Part 2.)

Also, yes pls. Bugfixes. I love 1.20's Realm of Light and Hero of Gavel but bugs really sucks out the enjoyment of doing quests or big updates on release. (Tho, the army of 10+ Lari in a cutscene is pretty funni.)

 

No way

Developer com unifications?

 

so its the sb 1.0 update in wynn?

 

Except the Wynn CT actually knows how to balance and won't fuck up their game
Inevitably the Sb admins are going to screw up a major focus of balance and fail to change it for 8 months, it becomes a part of regular gameplay, and its suddenly nerfed the ground and becomes unusable. Then a new piece of content arrives and the process repeats again.
