Ok in every other game I would call CSST out too. But the thing is that if I had to choose CSST over 10 levels of grinding and little content, I’d pick CSST in a heart beat.

True I'm honestly fine with csst except for the people who like do it at like level 71 and abuse the hell out of it since csst supports the server the most

The death system is fine as it is besides the spawn system being screwed up. If they made death harsher it would just discourage more players.

One of the worst things games do is wasting your time. When games make you redo an entire level, backtrack half way across the map, or lose everything you worked for the entire length of the game for, it’s not fun. It’s bad game design.

A common complaint of a Wynncraft is that it’s too easy, and I agree with this. Difficult games can be fun, but having a harsh death system doesn’t make a game difficult; it makes it punishing. Take Celeste for example, a 2D platformer. It will bust your balls, especially on its 16 bonus levels. But that game never dwells on dying, and instantly respawns you at the entrance or checkpoint of a room. This way the developers can always keep the player surprised and encourage the player to try different moves without them fearing losing most of their progress. As a result, it has some of the most creative levels I’ve seen in a platformer.

Now some games like Dark Souls can get away with a harsher death penalty. But that’s only because they are niche and have tight controls. In other words, death is mostly avoidable if you have the right skill.

Wynncraft, however, can never do that. I can’t tell you how many times I have died due to lag, not to mention to the countless bugs and glitches. There’s no real way to fix lag without going outside of Minecraft, which isn’t going to happen. It would be extremely unfair to players for something that was out of their control.

The simple reason Wynncraft isn’t what it used to be is that updates come way too slow to hold a large player base for long. There’s only so much you can do with a group of volunteers. Even if an update came out every month, Wynncraft would die eventually due to Minecraft’s fading popularity.

Either way, we’re both in agreement Wynn needs to be more difficult. Question is how.

I would just say to rework the combat, but that's never going to happen since the combat hasn't changed much since the Gavel update. The only major breakthroughs we got were type matchups and mobs using multiple spells.

Maybe having more higher-level grinding spots, in which the mobs actually pose a large threat of killing you

^^ you could always try with spot using an xp set. Way tougher than ice heights

whatever this sentence means, all threads are open to criticism.

Wynn is dying in the same way all MMOs "die" in between updates. There hasn't been a huge bomb of content dropped in a good while, meaning anyone who returns for updates or likes to play through the entirety of the game has left for the time being. Once Dern (or the road to it) drops, there will be another spike in playerbase, and same with the update after that, and so on.

New lategame content that's more variable and thus replayable would be good, but even then we'll still need to wait for the next update.

Right so Wynn will not be dead in... 2020
