Update Ideas

FIrst, the race update: Multiple Races that you can choose, all with different advantages and disadvantages. Also, different size armours for different size races. I.E. Hobbits could only wear small armour whereas trolls could only wear big armour. Some race ideas are, Dragonborn, Dwarfs, Elves, Hobbits, Orcs, Humans, Demons, Gnomes, and Undead. Certain advantages of these might be that Undead can take more hits and zombies won't attack them, but they'll move slower.
Next update, the class update, some class ideas would be Paladin, who would be a healer/fighter. Monks who wouldn't use weapons but would still do a lot of damage. Warlocks, who would have more demonic spells. a Ranger who would have better stats depending on if they're in nature or not and could also control wildlife. Artificiers, who would be inventors and could have a mechanical companion. Beastmasters, who could control wild animals and have a few pets. Builders, who would use spells to construct walls and siege weapons using materials like wood, but everything they made would disappear. Spellstealers, who would have spell orbs that has every spell that exists in Wynncraft, however, to cast a spell, they have to be holding the orb and put in the relevant mouse clicks, each orb would also have a limited number of charges and would have to buy more orbs when they run out of charges. The spellstealer could also not use weapons and would have less mana than normal. And finally, Gunners, who would use guns. Some classes and races would work well together, like. Demons and Warlocks, and boost your stats.
Also, Events! Such as, Hardcore weekend, where Monsters are much harder to kill but they give much, much better Loot and XP. "That doesn't sound like hardcore weekend" you say, well fret not, because, during hardcore weekends, deaths would be permadeaths and you would never get your character back.
The base update, where you'll be able to buy land and use gathered materials to build bases and also buy materials to build it, you'll be able to do whatever to your land, and no one else can edit your land.
THe survival update, where you'll need to get food, water, and sleep. Wounds will also stay heal naturally on their own, but if you have wounds it brings down your max health until they heal. Wounds can be healed with healing tools such as bandages and then they will heal much more quickly. Wounds have a 5% chance of being inflicted everytime you're hit. You will be able to farm food and collect and purify water on your land. Different biomes require different things to survive, such as cold biomes requiring things to keep you warm.
General things that didn't merit their own paragraph. Weapon update, and one handed and two handed weapons and dual wielding. Shields would be one handed, and different types of ammo for different types of ranged weapons.
Anyway, these are my ideas. Hope you like them!

 

Lets rework the whole game

 

and make it just DnD in Minecraft

Balanace it. Pick 5 races, 6 and balance them. In detail describe EVERY aspect of them, how they would work and how do they fit.

 

Races are a terrible idea. They would ruin the entire story of the game. You are canonically a human. And Dragonborn? Way to get sued by Bethesda...
We don't need a class update. The 5 classes we have now are perfectly fine. I know we'll probably get another within the next 10 updates though..
To be honest I like the idea of events. Problem is, they already exist in some capacity. Double exp weekends, halloween and christmas events all exist already.
Housing has been suggested several times, the best by Novalescent.
Survival would not work in Wynncraft. Crafting already exists and you can make armor and healing items. I would find it weird if I were exploring some ruins to look for lore and some dude has converted it into a shack and is living there.
The weapon stuff just wouldn't work.

You tried to make good ideas, but I think you should get a deeper understanding of Wynn's core system before you make any more suggestions.
Also, this should be in the general suggestions forum.

 

Dragonborn are also in D&D, betheda does not own D&D

________________________________

You misspelled balance, but I have been making them more in depth, I just thought you guys would want some thing shorter

 

How

Not really. It just looks like you didn't thought it out.


Again, you could make your own game as well. These changes are too drastic and undetailed (if you won't improve it) to be accepted by either community or devs.

 

None of these ideas sound good.

 

I am no where near skilled enough to make my own game

________________________________

Aight, so there's this thing called constructive criticism

 

Are you aware of the fact that you would rework the whole game?

 

Yes, infact here's what the devs could do. Some people didn't like Minecraft 1.9, so they play on 1.8, I propose the same thing, you could turn off all these features while still getting the newest updates.

 

My criticism is to consider the core themes and elements of the existing gameplay before you go off making suggestions. While yes, a lot of these ideas could in fact be very cool on a more micromanagement, darker themed, heavy RPG aspect game / server, but typically Wynn tries to stay fairly simplistic, lighthearted and stay true to its core elements.

Many of the elements you suggested (like arbitrary races, armor sizes, numerous classes, and building) push away from this focus by convoluting existing gameplay while not adding much to the overall experience. This is ignoring the fact that they'd all take massive amounts of work and would require reworking almost all of the existing mechanics.

 

How exactly would the game be split? Wouldn’t this require a huge amount of work and time which the ct could be using making new content which builds upon and improves the already existing content. Wynncraft is not a standalone game made by a huge company. The team has limited time and personnel.

 

You are right, but some aspects would improve Wynncraft, like events

 

I do agree that suggestion is good although shallow.

 

Yes it would take time, but if they were implemented, maybe 1 feature per update, it would be much more manageable.

________________________________

I will go much more in depth on that then

 

Have you ever tried to programm something big? Or at least anything? It takes time. A long time. It is really not worth it.
Get the idea. Think about every single detail. All pros and cons. Programm it. Test it. Debug it. Test it again. Debug it again. Test it on the community. Balance and debug again. And you don't even know whetever they would like it.
Btw the dev team has likie 1 or 2 active members (Apollo and possibly Salted. Sorry if I missed somebody).

Also have you thought about how it would fit into the game?

Also you can't really split it into 2 versions running simultaneously, considering how it is now.

 

What's the point? The reason 1.8 is used more is because the 1.9 changes are bad. It's better to just not bother.

 

Not all changes

 

As @TrapinchO and @Theeef have said, you really need to think more about Wynncraft and how it functions. It's fairly obvious that you didn't put much thought into this.

It's really great that you want to help improve the game, but you need to take the time to really think about what you're doing, how you're doing it, and why. In Trapinch's signature is a thing in bright turquoise writing - give it a read.

So don't be discouraged, but try and put actual effort into suggesting rather than typing it all up in less than 10 minutes.

 

Okay, they were mostly shitty ideas? Happy?
