SPOILER What are your hopes and worries for Fruma?

I really hope some content team member leaks something “accidentally” soon!

 

Do not

 

I really hope the added levels have a decent amount of items of the corresponding levels.

So far that hasn't been the case with the levels over 100.

Currently there are only around 50 items for lvl101+, that's way too low considering the level cap was raised years ago.

So I wish we get plently of new items to shake up things.

Also, some 3-4 ability points wount't go amiss, specially since we dont get stat points after 101.

I don't think we will get a dugeon, but another raid is a safe bet, we need those tier III armour tomes after all.

Plently of quests would be nice, but considering how many we got in SE, I wouldn't expect more than 5-6.

 

SE had 5 quests and it was Lv. 100-105, and since Fruma is Lv. 105-120, we should expect like 10-15 or at most 20 quests

 

I’m sure the builds and quests will be fun. I only hope that, for a region that is priding itself on being endgame, it actually expands on endgame content in meaningful ways beyond just adding another cookie cutter raid or dungeon, by either changing or improving the formula. And it’s about time that the ability tree actually gets proper balancing

 

don't get hit?

 

what? you need actual skill for that. also warring

 

i guess you need them for warring but does anyone actually enjoy those it's just smacking a tower until it explodes

 

I need actual skill to not get hit

 

either have a combat mobility (warrior aero or assassin jh), high walk speed, or kill the enemy faster than they can attack (these tips are mostly for tna)

 

I do wonder, and hope that the CT will have an answer for this: what happens, lore-wise, after the end of the Fruma "questline"? If we kill the Queen of Fruma: does her heir, if she has one, succeed her and ascend to the throne? Do we establish a glorious democracy in place of the old tyranny, bringing liberation to the long-oppressed peoples of Fruma? Does Fruma collapse into civil war in the newly created power vacuum? And regardless of whether the Queen dies, assuming anything signficant happens to the state of Fruma: what happens to the recruits? Does Fruma keep on sending recruits to Wynn, or is Wynn now starved(ish) of soldiers to fight the corruption?

I honestly hope for the opposite because this would really be quite predictable. Oh, a big baddie? Of course, we must necessarily have a grand, heroic face-off with it. Unless the CT can pull this off in a compelling way, that is. I'd like Fruma to be novel, interesting, and refreshing.

 

Hope:
i hope it releases

having half expectation so I don't worry much

just have decent storyline is enough for me

builds will look amazing anyway

 

Oh no please don’t put a war in fruman walls

:o

 

Hopes:
New dialogue system used more
Expanded ability tree
New engame replayable content
Soul points get removed

Fears:
Lore gets retconned
Dern becomes the villain again
Linear plotline
Low quest density

 

The Gavel province also originally came out with clear content gaps, which we don't plan to do with Fruma. Our standards have gone up too much over the years to do that. We can't rule out that some areas will be more filled than others, but there won't be 20 levels of no content.

________________________________

Quoting Salted from the original Fruma post

 

Bran becomes king.
"Why do you think I came all this way"

 

In one of the teasers (I think the first one) they confirmed that Fruma would be an open province and not linear like SE.

 

hope:
no powercreep

worries:
powercreep

 

Here's to hoping that the gameplay doesn't require Mythics
Consider that both a hope and a fear
