SPOILER Everything we currently know about 2.0

Note: This thread is NOT for anything that's ambiguous, such as what areas are quests taken in, lore behind anything (as much as it pains me to say), and anything else that has not been confirmed by the CT. If you wanna do speculation about stuff that's unconfirmed, there are plenty of threads to check out instead (like the ones made by WithTheFish and Saya). Stuff that's implied by the teasers, however, will be on this thread.

So this thread here is pretty much just a collection of everything we already know about 2.0. This is just here for convenience sakes.

Honestly I'm a bit worried about how much content is being promised. If it's all done well then this would easily be the best update they've ever done, but balancing 350 new abilities/upgrades, a whole dungeon, 2 different challenge modes for that dungeon, a new version of swimming without 1.13, a whole raid, a bunch of other changes for the combat system, and redoing all the Corkus terrain, seems like a lot to promise for one update. I'm not saying it can't be done, I'm just hoping this doesn't end up like the original Gavel update, or the new one for that matter, except here instead of a new part of the server feeling a bit sparse until there's a patch, if the balancing of the spells in this update isn't spot on it'll mean the whole game being way too easy or way too hard for it to be enjoyable for most players.
I'm pretty optimistic about this update at the moment, but sometimes I remind myself of the fact that if this gets messed up the whole game gets messed up, and it makes me kind of worried. I don't want to ruin the hype with a bunch of doom and gloom but do control your expectations as hard as that can be.

 

Btw snake nest doesn't have a archetype, salted said.

Also it's confirmed all hive bosses including qira will have new spells.

"New Guild arenas: One for karoc, one for detlas."
What? How is it karoc and detlas?? It's corkus and cinfras, First one has pipes and corkus coloured balloon and a avos home. Cinfras has the blue homes with red banners and you can literally see cinfras's entrance build in the background.

 

Updated. The reasons I thought it was Karoc & Detlas is bc of the little structure to the side of the walls looking similar to the Harnort Mansion. Cinfras and Detlas have a similar build style, so I kinda got confused there. I forgot if Detlas has its own guild arena, but now looking back, I'm pretty sure it does.
