Community predictions for wynncraft 2.0

As for the Nameless Anomaly raid, I've heard speculation on the lore discord that the anomaly might be a twisted version of the Realm of Light (similar to the Forgery's Corrupted Dungeons), in the event that the Parasite was able to fully leech off of Orphion and kill/darken/corrupt him. I don't 100% believe it but it's probably the most plausible theory I've heard so far, considering the very little information we have about the raid right now.

I've also heard that the boss of the raid (that weird dark being) could be the same being that we see in the Silent Expanse ultimate discovery, sitting on the throne and giving orders to Bak'al, because it too lacks legs (like seemingly the beast in the discovery) and its hands are similar. But idk, it looks too small, and it still has both of its eyes intact. Plus I still think the creature seated on the throne is the Dern Beast, and I strongly STRONGLY doubt that the raid boss is the Dern Beast.

 

Nvm I'm coming back

 

I'm pretty sure that the "Nameless Anomaly" (aka the Raid Boss) is just the entity that we talk to in A Hunter's Calling. That black floating skeleton thing that doesn't have a name.
The general appearance checks out, it could just be a remodel to make it look more interesting and fitting for being a Raid Boss. Also, it not having a name also checks out.. as well as it being in a high-level area within the Silent Expanse.

It's definitely not the Dern Beast.

 

I am SO hyped for wynncraft 2.0. I've been playing wynncraft for a long time now and have enjoyed all of it. I just can't fathom how a server this good has a staff of mostly unpaid volunteers but still makes the most fun minecrafting experience that exists in my opinion.

 

I don't think it's the Hunter's Calling NPC, they differ quite a lot not just in appearance but also in motives and "personality". The NPC doesn't have arms, eyes, or that weird blue core in its chest. And I don't think they'd just size an NPC up for dramatic effect, usually when a NPC is one size they remain that size unless they receive some kind of powering up (which, in the NPC's case, I don't see why that would happen). Besides, the AHC npc has obviously no interest to directly fight you, it just wants to guide you through a path and reach an end on your own. The whole point of Hunter's Calling is that it's a path that you, the player, take - why would the cryptic NPC in front of the portal just suddenly scrap that and go after you on its own? I'm pretty sure it knows that you want to go to Dern, so even if it did want to stop you from doing so, it'd have done so earlier. It doesn't really have any motive for just randomly going wild, moving to a raid area and trying to kill someone they were trying to lead.

It might be a member of that weird NPC's same ""species"", but it BEING the NPC? Doubt it.

 

Yes, I should've included this in my post.
You make some good points, so yeah, it's likely that it's just a member of their species.

It's interesting how both the Hunter's Calling NPC and this Nameless Anomaly thing have connections to portals in some way.
The Hunter's Calling NPC is positioned in front of the portal to Dern, and this Raid Boss is presumably found by jumping into that new portal we saw in the trailer. I'm guessing it's the entrance to the new raid, so

 

Untrue

________________________________

Raids are meant to be things the players have to do because the world is at risk.
Nest of The Grootslangs - Parasite-infested Worms will destroy the province of Gavel
Canyon Colossus - The Canyon of the Lost will become sky islands, the void tear will grow bigger, the Canyon will no longer have the property of shifting to keep Dernmites out and The Decay will spread to Molten Heights and Ahmsord
Nexus of Light - If the Parasite isn't destroyed it'll cause more issues + continue spread of decay both in Realm of Light and across Gavel, giving Dern an even greater advantage in The War of the Realms
The Gatekeeper/The Entity has no real reason to fight the player, nor does it seem to pose any desire to bring disaster or destruction, being overall incredibly neutral to the War, to the player's conquest, and even to the desires of The Realm of Darkness.

 

I really, really hope that boss isn't the Dern beast. Don't get me wrong, it looks cool and all but the Dern beast is probably like, the boss to end all bosses for this game, not only should is look way cooler but I would hope that it would be at the end of Dern and not just chilling in the SE.

As for the theory, that still feels like a pretty big stretch to me. Unless there's a pretty wild quest required to access the raid, I'm like, 99% sure it's just going to be like CC where there is lore but it's mainly just an inconsequential boss fight. Would be happy to see what would essentially be ROL VI but I don't think it's realistic.

 

the Realm Beasts are beast-like, as per the standard set by Orphion, so it would be weird if some floating humanoid torso was the Dern Beast

:))

 

Predicted

 

Read my comment above yours.

 

To be fair, it's not like this game hasn't done and doesn't continue to do weird things, let's not forget this is game where you can pray to a cow cult with your pet who is just a dude sitting in a minecart. Half a humanoid being called a beast really doesn't sound that weird in comparison lol

 

Doesn't change what I said?

________________________________

Oh wait. Yeah, i mean they could totally be related. The Entity is Dernic (says it in its dialogue), and with the raid being SE it would make sense that the boss is related to Dern or The Expanse in some fashion

 

strawman argument imo
i would assume critical lore is taken quite seriously

 

Archtype predictions or something

Archer
Sharpshooter: Long ranged damage dealer. (Seen in trailer)
Trapper Archer: Ranged supporter with focus on Crowd Control. (Seen in trailer)
Magic Hunter idk: Short-ranged, high risk, but more deadly. Like original Arrow Storm.

Mage
Arcane Mage: Combo damage dealer. Like concentration powder, it can pump up damage by casting more spells. (Seen in trailer)
Nature Mage: Healer & supporter. Like original playstyle. Heal with nature, heavy-hit with meteor.
Light Mage (?): Independent guy with high mobility.


Warrior:
Fallen Warrior: Damage dealer. Can use health for spells. (Seen in trailer?)
Paladin: Tanker. Can aggro mobs & buff allies.
Berserker?: Damage dealer but with more risks... like rage powder special


Assassin
Samurai: Generic Fighter. It has relatively low mobility.
Rogue: Hit-and-run style. Really high mobility
Trickster: uhhh something gimmicky I guess, like creating clones

Shaman
Druid: Heal-Tank. Utilizes Life Leech to deal damage to enemies and heal allies, including yourself.
Necromancer: Damage dealer with focus on CC. Like kills giving you damage bonus.

 

The dern beast looking like half a dude and not having lore were two separate points which is why I wrote about them separately they were responded to separately, I obviously can't comment on the lore in the follow up when the only response I got to the initial comment is ":))", clearly I'm off base there.

Also it's not a strawman, Deusphage said it would be strange if the described beast looked like a person and I said stranger things have happened. If I had tried to claim the boss is the Dern beast and won't have lore because there's a minecart pet that would be a non sequitur, but I didn't, I just made a point that there are already strange things in the game which there obviously are.

 

I think there is going to be at least one new bug, maybe even 2 new bugs

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I didn't spot anything in the trailer or website about the new dungeon amplifiers.
Personally, I think they'll be linked to the forgery chain in some way.

 

Why would forgery chain affect normal Galleon's Graveyard?

 

Ohhhh, had kinda assumed amplifiers were for corrupted dungeons.

Thanks for clearing that up :)
