SPOILER Is The Corruption Rapidly Spreading?

It seems that every update, more and more corruption spreads throughout wynn.
Here are some pictures of some new corruption scars:

Coordinates: X 532/Z -1279


Location: Dernel Jungle

Of course, we know that the corruption is activly spreading, and is being warred against, but this is some solid evindence that it is indeed spreading.
If you know of any places in Wynn that has new Corruption mark, post a picture down below!

 

well the entire detlas warfront is ridden with corruption, many characters in game are corrupted so i mean \o/

 

There’s one near the almuj Wall and one like south of nemract

 

Hype for the campaign? Lol no

 

One thing I'm really not sure about in this update is how heavily the Corruption is used and how almost everything (particularly dungeons) is made to link in somehow. The Lost Sanctuary used to just be a creeper hideout taken over by a pyromaniac lizard. Now we find out that Garoth is actually a scientist who got infected by corruption. The Ice Barrows were the lair of the estranged ice mage who turned on the Twains and cursed an entire area (but seriously @Imaxelius, that guy had the potential to be a really interesting and unique character who highlighted the flaw in the Twains indiscriminately training anyone who had powers they liked. I was really disappointed that it got replaced with another heroic sacrifice story), and Undergrowth Ruins had nothing tangible to do with corruption either.

 

Theoricks story is one of the best characters in the game as of now :)

 

Let me put it this way: Would you rather have a force that is mentioned everywhere and is actually important, or a force that only applies to part of the game that becomes insignificant after a while? I am, of course, comparing the corruption to the decay. Let's talk about the decay real quick, shall we? The Decay is supposedly the main issue in Gavel, but it only applies to a few areas in Gavel, specifically Olux, Gelibord, and Lexdale. Once you move farther east of Gavel, the Decay becomes irrelevant as you move towards Cinfras, CoTL, Molten Heights, and Sky Islands. One could argue that Gavel has more issues than the Decay, such as the Sky Islands being fractured and the Dogun/Dwarf war, but my point is that the Decay is advertised as the main issue in Gavel, so it should appear everywhere. It shouldn't completely cover the map, but we should see a dead or withering tree here and there, just like with the recently added corruption spikes around Wynn. It makes you wonder why Gavel is even worried about the Decay since it only covers less than one-third of the province, and they could just tell the people living in those cities to move to Llevigar or Cinfras. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate Gavel. Wynncraft would not be the same if Gavel was never released, but my point is, unless some of gavel gets revamped, at this rate of revamping Wynn, Wynn will be far more interesting than Gavel.

Furthermore, I don't get your logic for saying that the corruption makes everything less interesting. We knew nothing about garoth before the update, other than he was some pyromaniac lizard who had some sort of vendetta against creepers. Now, we actually have some lore about how he came to be. Same thing goes for theorick. Finally, you are directly contradicting yourself with the last sentence. You say that incorporating everything with corruption is/was disappointing, yet you say your disappointed that undergrowth ruins had nothing to do with corruption?(unless I misinterpreted what you meant in your last sentence.) Speaking of that, let's look at Slykaar real quick. Before the update, we didn't know anything about Slykaar, other than the fact he was a shaman who was banished by his own tribe. Now, we know about his dark experiments and why he was banished.

 

Theriok didn't "curse" the area
he froze it to protect it of it's corruption
then asked the player to kill him in the future

 

oh god
that's a huge wall of text.

I guess you could say I agree, because really, the corruption really fleshed out more pieces of the puzzle, with the puzzle being Wynncraft's lore.

One thing I will also say, is that corruption is a huge part of Wynncraft currently. To wipe the whole idea out would be like dropping a bomb on the Wynncraft lore puzzle. (Also, this doesn't relate to any of your posts really don't get mad at me ._.) Same with removing Decay from Gavel.

However, there's one area (calling it area because Idk if it's a province) that we never really mentioned, which is Corkus.
To be honest, Corkus doesn't seem to have all this corruption/decay major problems. But Corkus does have something else. Im assuming the largest flaw of Corkus is the mechanical domination. Remember Fallen Factory? Caused by robots, mechanical stuff, etc. But how is this similar to the Decay and Corruption? There's one thing that is not the same. For one, Corkus is not really known for it's artificial domination (as in the problem), because it is trying to be hidden. It's just known for it's inventions and mechanics. However, the corruption and decay is nearly impossible to be hidden.

Please don't get mad at me for making a really bad explanation. I'm not good at lore explanation and I'm not like SPYROHAWK.

 

Yeah, because they actively try to hide it from people (IE the Envoy 1 and 2)

 

ah

 

I think I the final Wynn update they'll have a super event, where we beat the corruption and the province is peaceful again

The corruption is probably spreading. Salted said it was intentional that they used the old ragni in the final discovery. This means that the updates follow time. Another piece of evidence is that VIP town used to exist in a previous update, it is now rubble, and there is a discovery that shows it's destruction. Knowing this, it is possible that the new placement of roots across the province was intentional, to illustrate the spreading of corruption to long term players.

 

did anyone else catch the fact that the corruption is of a dark monster's influence who lives in the nether's basement?

 

I am literally putting together a theory about that :p
so hold your horses

Spoiler

holy shit, I just heard today hold your horses means 'be stable'
AHHHHHHH

 

So a dynamic world? So how will new players experience the story in a way as meaningful as older ones, if at all?

 

I'm just repeating what I've heard in other threads, but in terms of wynncraft, it's 1000 AP. It's always and always will be 1000 AP. Events being moved earlier isn't the timeline progressing, it's retcons.
