Detailed Review Of The 1.20 Update

Alright, thank you! I will try and start fixing now.

 

Wait as I was checking I died and ended up in Lutho which is strange because when I did /kill it didn't do this. I still here the spider sound though.

________________________________

Off topic but I just recognized your profile pic as Mr. Mushroom. Great game and am really excited for Silksong. Thank you again for caring so much about this bug.

 

wait so can you click the restart thing then? (near where aledar would spawn when you start the quest) (also hyped af for silksong)

 

I just noticed it. Yes, it worked! Though I worry why it didn't take me back the first time I did /kill. I hope no one else was where I was hardlocked and can't get back. Either way I think everything is good now.

 

Good to hear!! I will still look into the bug though just to make sure it happens to no one else.

 

honestly, im gonna have to disagree here, i think realm of light has the best dialogue in the game by a very long shot, particularly starting from 3 and a lil bit of 2 (well i havent done 5 yet but im guessing and hoping its as good as finding the light, and worm holes serves as an introduction mostly so i think its fine if its below the others)
the story is, i think for the first time in wynncraft, actually meaningful through its development without having to rely on some big plot twist or strange scenario (im thinking of ahc and ponr in particular there but that doesnt make them any worse of course)
its the first time wynncraft quests have a real development with a "real" story. i dont know how to call it exactly, but its like in those other quests its mostly one or more big events that give them their true meaning while realm of light is a slow burn (that truly shines at the end of finding the light). i just did the first 4 quests again on live and honestly im surprised at how hard the dialogue between lari and the guardian hits, even though ive already read it a bunch of times. to me this quest ending is the highest point of the entire wynncraft story, just above all the weird expanse shenanigans. i cant thank selvut enough for making this possible while listening to feedback in such a short time

however something you havent mentioned and i think hasnt been talked about enough is how terrible the quests are gameplay-wise. i logged on right as the update dropped, and spent over an hour and a half doing the first 4 quests. i already did them 3 or 4 times, so im not reading the dialogue (well except for finding the light because i noticed some new things) and im rushing them, and it still took me almost 2 hours to complete, with more than half of that time being unskippable dialogue/cutscene. not only that but most of the gameplay stages are out of place/literally do not make any sense story-wise. individually, the stages are somewhat fun, but the questline as a whole is such a chore i had to stop playing before doing 5 because my brain was completely fried. its a big shame how disappointing the quests are in that regard, especially since people are going to run them A LOT to do the orphion raid to get soulbound tomes on all classes. honestly 4 in particular couldve been the best quest in the whole game if it had actually meaningful gameplay stages instead of lol snake parkour and lol funny drug parkour

anyways this post was way too long lol i just wanted to talk about it outside of the beta forums where its the same 3 people

 

That's totally fair, and yeah I think I the fact that you can't skip a lot of stuff is really bad, I only did it once so I didn't really notice the first time but running it back I'm starting to realize that it's an issue. Don't really know what they can do about it now but it still kind of sucks.

 

Worm Holes is decent storywise but did anyone take a single look at the balancing? The survive phase is way overtuned.

 

i agree with you a lot on the option to solo orphion's raid initially. i think it'd be a lot more fulfilling if you could just immediately do the raid after rol v, especially because of its abrupt ending.

 

I think there should also be an option to solo a raid by yourself. Of course it would be ridiculously difficult, but the option should still be there.

 

What if the solo version was easier but you just got lower quality or less rewards?

 

Oh? What were the changes aside from tomes, I'm interested.​

 

They reduced the XP requirements to leveling up in the early game, plus as I said in the post they added ingredients which give gathering xp bonus and you get an unknown gathering xp boost after running a dungeon.

 

Are the dungeon gathering xp boosts permanent or temporary? And how early game are we talking, because I have all my gathering professions around level 60-70.

 

Temporary but no idea on specifically how long it lasts. For the second part, you might be hitting the tail end of the boosts, but it was supposed to be early game re-balances so I wouldn't get your hopes up. Best bet for you is to run the colossus raid a bunch to try and get two gathering tomes which paired with hunted or gathering xp gear should get you about double xp (100% bonus). You'll also want to join a guild and visit some houses so you can actually use the tomes too.

 

Ah gee, all this sounds like more effort than it's worth tbh.

 

How so? I nerfed it very significantly, more than once, and I didn't hear any complaints about this during beta.

 

I read the entire thing and i started like a week ago lol also

hypixel skyblock devs: imma pretend i didnt see that

 

I almost died at Lv. 103 with full Morph (#MorphGang) as a Shaman.
Pretty dang hard
