Upcoming Update

A few days ago, Wynncraft posted that there is an endgame update coming this Summer (but not Fruma). Olinus10 made a great video about this and included some speculation, but I thought the same should exist on the forums.

For some reason, this message wasn't posted on the forums, and there have also been no threads made about it by the community, which I find sad. I love getting together with this community and speculating about stuff like this, so here's that thread now :)



Will the update be 2.0.3? Or is it bigger than that? (I don't think they'll make it 2.1, because there has been no hype built up, no trailers or teasers and apparently it's coming this Summer (meaning in under 3 months).

Could there be a lootrunning revamp? Client-side loot chests, loot balances and general mechanic changes around lootrunning seems like a popular idea.

Dungeon modifiers were teased back during the 2.0 development phase - so maybe we'll be getting them? Perhaps they could make dungeons harder, but increase the rewards (stacked with the forgery, this could be amazing! - This could mean having to beat all 8 corrupted dungeons with modifiers that make each dungeon harder, but double forgery chest rewards (or something like that)).

Raid revamps? Currently, Nest of Grootslangs is obviously the easiest raid and TNA is the hardest, but what if there was a system like in dungeons whereby the level and difficulty is matched to the players, so NoG, ONoL, TCC and TNA could all be endgame raids!

Professions are in dire need of a revamp. New mechanics would be welcomed by the community and I can see these changes being made in a smaller update rather than in a larger one. Maybe there could be a skill tree for professions like the ability tree for combat, maybe this could be the perfect way to tie profs into combat without forcing the payer to do them (e.g. every 10 prof levels, you get a point that you can spend, it could include upgrades like 2% faster gathering speed, +1/5 mana regen, +spell/melee damage, +walk speed, +loot bonus etc.) This could result in any style of player benefitting from completing professions, yet not having to rely on them. Maybe there could also be a new treasure finding mechanic too, e.g. there's a 1% chance to find Ancient X Wood/Paper, when gathering from trees, Glistening X Ingot/Gem from ores, Gourmet X meat/oil from fish and Valuable X grains/string (or something like that) and these could be sold for emeralds to a certain NPC.

Guilds have recently had guild housing added, wooo! But there's still plenty of levels with no rewards and plenty of gaps still to fill. Maybe rewards for unfilled guild levels could start to give exclusive guild cosmetics for housing or even 'blueprints' like a pre-built design for housing (if that's possible). Maybe shared weekly objectives could exist within guild that everyone has to work together to get, e.g. Complete 100 dungeons (for a guild with 10-15 player. By linking it to player count within a guild, it also discourages having guild with lots of inactive players.


These are obviously all just guesses and speculation, but I love this kinda stuff and would love to hear everyone elses' thoughts about it below :)

Have a great day!

 

Maybe we will get the finished clock mystery ?

 

I don’t think professions should really be revamped at this point because the problems people have with them are the selling points for others.

I do wish the crafting system was less random and allowed for more customization though. But that would also require an ingredient revamp which is non-starter.

 

clock mystery is not endgame. don't count on it.

 

A Profession revamp is definitely wanted by the players and the staff. Sure it can't change in it's core but changes are necessary.

yes please (sorry lex)

 

That doesn’t mean it can’t be included in the update as something for lower level players, or buffed to be made endgame. Personally I think they’re going to continue to hold off on it for a while longer though.

 

The only reasonable assumption is that all of Dern comes out in twenty minutes

 

Just get an AI to generate and build all of Dern smh

 

swarms coming back???

 

That'd be epic

 

This may sound pessimistic, but I don't want to get my hopes up for something too big. I remember back in 2018 where we were promised an extra 2000 hours of content and all we got were profs. That being said, a part of me wants some sort of actual pvp content, that would be good for the endgame honestly.

Personally, I'm expecting some non-fruma endgame content that probably would've been otherwise packaged with fruma.

 

I fully agree with you on the PvP content. PvP seems like something that could be really fun for endgame, but with the current state of Hunted and duels it kind of lacks in my opinion.

 

thank you we need to start setting these realistic expectations and stop putting so much pressure on the dev team to do major changes to the game

________________________________

i think a pvp based thing with decent rewards could be cool cus we need something that can take up time to be good at but isnt mind numbing like profs
i also want another tower of assecion/quira thing cus i think those are realy fun

 

sorry, not yet. hoping to find the time to finish it soon! ive been having lots of more important projects to work on, so i havent had the chance yet

 

Summer update will be Wybel plushie update. Seriously though, I assume it will be mostly bugfixes, with some minor stuff getting in.

honestly you probably got them

 

I feel like it's a lot more than bug fixes, there are new item leaks, crafted nerfs, and linny said "it is glorious"

 

bumping this bc the trailers gonna come out in 3 days

if I had to guess what was in it that isn't mentioned here yet:
- possibly some more content for mh, sky islands, and se
- cff
- refightable quest bosses

 

I think there should be a lesser grinding version of slayer in wynn since most of the players on wynncraft are already at endgame level and have nothing to do so a repeatable thing like slayers would really benefit the endgame zone rn like the bosses could add more wynncraft lore and maybe tease some new stuff and things like drops would add more endgame content

 

If there is ever anything similar to slayers in wynncraft thatd be terrible endgame content. It's pretty much at that point a left clicking simulator. Dungeons at least have more stuff to them than just beat up mobs for 10 minutes and then you beat up the more important mob.

 

The last one is technically already in the game in the form of LI.
