World Races

Hello everyone!
I recently joined Wynncraft about 3 weeks ago, and I was wondering. Wynncraft is a MMORPG, and a fantasy one at that. But I was thinking, most fantasy games have a variety of races. So why not do this? When you create a character, an additional option appears to choose a race, among Elf, Human, and Sprite. Each one would give additional bonuses, and if this is added, characters existing before the hypothetical update would get to select a race. The race would not change your character's appearance, but it would give some more stats. The main boosts are Agility and Defense.

Elf
Elves are graceful creatures, and would have boosted Agility stats. However, to be so graceful, they would need to have light bones. As such, Elves do not have as high a Defense stat.

Human
Humans are slightly graceful, but as a general rule, slightly ungainly at times. So Humans would have a decreased Agility stat. But Humans are resilient, and they have a high Defense stat.

Sprite
Sprites are little tiny fairies. They are light, and have a high Agility. They are small, and don't have a good Defense. But

 

Oh jolly, can I pick an Orc?

 

The problem is that would require a big lore rework, you are supposed to come as a fruma human, everyone refers to you as a human, and sometimes quest start because you are a human, and that wouldn't work if you were an elf...
If you want different playstyle, I recommend playing different classes, I definitevely don't think this will be added/be added anytime soon :/

 

Real talk now: you should change it to be more of a balanced system, like in DA:INQ(dragon age: inquisition) when every race had a 1+ for stuff. Elfs had bouns 25% range dmg resistance. Humans had an extra ability point when they start off. And so on.


Make more races, I recommend pulling out an old DnD book and flip to the races menu, trying to combine and/or making new races.

 

But the player comes from Fruma, which is a human province. If you wanted to add elves they would have to come from Aldorei which is much higher level.

 

Well you can make your skin looking like it, but they still say you human, because every npc in wynncraft is blind.

 

That would break the lore entirely.

- Explain how only specific members of each race would have immunity to corruption?
- Where would the new tutorial areas be? If there is none, why would a caravan driver from Fruma be carrier sprites and elves?
- Why would the king hire sprites and elves for his army?
- Why would sprites and elves even want to join the Ragni army?
- Elves have a hatred for the villagers' greed, so why would they choose to side with them?
- Much more questions.

 

And also do you actually know that how much stuff neede to be changed for that.

Quests, npc dialogie, builds, mobs, areas, gameplay, dungeons, items, armor, accesories, mob status, player stats, website, chat, puzzles, grinding, lvl, buildings, bosses, discoveries, spells, attacks, models, coding and finally make everything thing it can be complete of every race.

Jumla (and ohter admins, mods and Ct) would die for all that kind of work (at least you get three races and nothing like twelve thousand races).

 

so basically the same race?
Also, I suggest you play more of the quests and read the lore since different starting races would basically break the game
(at the point where wynncraft is right now)

 

I've wanted race to be implemented into the game for a long time (I'm a vet so); I agree that it would completely break the lore. They would basically have to change every quest that refers to you as 'Human' to whichever Race was selected. It would also need a HUGE lore fix.
I would love for this to happen but sadly it won't...and if it does, well it won't happen for a very long time.
I've personally stuck to having my skin as an Elf for a while to help with my own personal immersion.

 

Wynncraft says that we are humans. And just humans. Making different races would just trip up the lore really badly. Think of determining Wynncraft's lore as solving a 3x3 Rubix Cube. Now think of it with you can be different races, and now that Rubix Cube you have to solve is 21x21. It'll just mess up the lore.

 

confuses noobs

wont happen in the early game, and even in the later game, it creates a lot of problems

 

Breh there are way more races than that... As far as I can remember:
Elves
Humans
Villagers
"Spirite"
Orc
Heliolux
Corrupted Stuff?
Dwarves (I almost forgot them lol)
Hobbits
Random Types of "Angels" and stuff...
etc etc... TOO MANY FRIKING RACES...
Wait... all those mobs... do they have their own races? I mean some of them like um... you know...
If we were to add races to the game that would mean we would have to choose the top ones like maybe
Villagers (WHO WOULD CHOOSE THESE GREEDY DOODS?)
Human
period. yay

________________________________

All those excluded races are crying right now because they werent mentioned XD

 

I'm very sorry if this idea is against Wynncraft as an essence. I actually couldn't really look at the lore carefully enough. Now that I read a little bit I thought that it would have to be reworked, especially dialogue. And @Exalted_ even if different races were eventually added into the game as playable characters, doing three would be HARD work for the Devs. Doing as many as you said would be ridiculous and hard to even fathom the amount of work it is. Now that I think about it, even I think it's too much work at this point, even much later maybe too much work.

 

can i be a plant

 

Zerachia I was saying that if we added those three races there needs to be a reason for choosing them...

________________________________

those other two races dont make sense... those mobs are only seen in endgame... elves in aldorei, and sprites in light forest.
Also read my bottom part I said that If we were to add races it would be Villagers and Humans because they are the only main races of the game.

 

no
1. the lore would need a rewrite here
2. we are already humans, we literally do not need this
3. main boosts? more like only boosts.
4. sprite and elf are literally the same thing wtf
5. you already have changing defense it depends on the class you pick
6. this is not needed. like, at all. just have classes be the thing you choose
7. in the sprite description, you didn't put anything after the "but"

 

Please don't be like this. @??? Has every right to point out what's wrong with your thread. That being said, why are you suddenly offended by someone pointing out the flaws of your thread?

EVERYBODY is a player who can "just barge in and break down people's ideas", if you don't want to be criticised maybe you should consider not posting your ideas on a public forum. Your response is overly sensitive to something which is a completely valid argument.

What, do you expect them to count half of your flaws?

Point out mistakes I made? Yes. Do you expect people to just let it slide when you say or do something stupid? If your post a bad idea, you get criticised, that's the way it is.

By the way, you can't just tell someone to not post on your work.

 

Been suggested a lot.
Not really possible without pretty much completely remaking half the game.
We don't need to rework the lore, just create new starter lore and quests, a couple other MMORPG's did that.
(WoW - DK, Pandas. Tera - The Loli Reapers)

All that needs to be fixed is mentions of race, or customize based on race.
