World Ocean Overhaul

Ocean Overhaul
​

Of course, only when Wynncraft drops support for versions older than 1.15.x

Why would we need an Ocean Overhaul?
I feel we could use an Ocean Overhaul because we've been stuck with the same ocean for a long while now. (Not talking about the islands)
And using the blocks for when we drop support for earlier than 1.15, we could use the blocks from 1.13 to overhaul the ocean. Such as sea weed, coral blocks, sea pickles, fish, coral fans, kelp, dried kelp blocks (could be useful for floor tiles), etc.

Benefits of doing an Ocean Overhaul
- We no longer get a boring ocean
- The ocean will look more natural and detailed
- More places to explore in the ocean
- More quest opportunities

Cons of doing an Ocean Overhaul
- Potentially more lag

 

how would it cause more lag

 

more content is more lag ig also DOES THAT MEAN YOU WANT TO DO IT GAME MASTER CONFIRMED

 

more content != more lag

 

nonono u dont GET it maybe when they first add it lots of ppl join to experience update, and then more players is laggy. You dont GET it (I feel like maybe this is what op meant)

 

add content suggestion

 

In the infant stages of the overhaul, I trust the Wynn team will find a way to optimize it, if said lag occurs. But I'm just saying in its infant stages.

And I'm talking about server lag. Not FPS lag.

 

If you want the ocean to get attention (not just adding islands) when they drop support for 1.15 and older. Upvote this suggestion!

 

I get that the team is focusing on Fruma rn, but isn’t saying “add content suggestion” more something for #constructive_feedback on discord? This subforum is for general suggestions, not giving feedback on an existing feature or anything. Are we just not allowed to make suggestions for new content until Fruma is released now?

 

Really hope not, adding something to the game sometimes takes years, so I see no issue giving feedback and suggestions, even if the CT is focused on a particular task.

Let them check the ideas and see if something looks worthy, not like there is any rush.

 

yes please

 

thats the joke

You are, and this forum is literally called General Suggestions. However, when you suggest the focus of an entire update, it's very often going to be ignored, especially if you are suggesting stuff that we already have plans for (like the few suggestions on 'what to do for dern').
I primarily responded as we at the CT are aware of the state of the ocean, we are aware we can update the ocean, some of us have talked about our desire to do so, and it's always struck me a bit strange when there's suggestions like this that almost undermine our ability to come up ideas. When you spend years working and developing stuff and someone comes along and goes "well actually you should do this very basic and obvious thing" (or ESPECIALLY when its someone trying to tell us how to do something we've been planning and developing for years) it always comes off with the feeling that the poster thinks we're idiots.
But hey, that's just me. There's nothing stopping you from writing those posts, there's just loose guidelines and suggestions for posts here and not rules.

 

That’s true, and makes a lot of sense. Makes me wonder what the purposes of these suggestions are; if it’s so obvious that the CT already acknowledges these things, why did the thread even get created in the first place? Is it just there to remind the CT to update the ocean? That doesn’t seem much like a suggestion at all. There’s already a multitude of threads, both here and on the discord, about changing or updating the ocean, most of which have had at least some acknowledgment from the CT. I can definitely imagine how it could feel to see the same thing be suggested multiple times, even when it’s been made very clear that the CT knows about it.
Also, sorry if my first message was a bit harsh, I didn’t know it was a joke.

 

trust me no one could tell
