New Expansion: Forspoken!
We will be heading to Sharlayan to defeat another evil dragon and go head to head with Zenos once again!
The world map will still be covered with clouds.
Expansion Features:
Dungeons
Making 1 new dungeon every patch is too much work for our small team so we decided to only add 1 new dungeon every other patch. We will use the extra development time from this to instead improve upon the Diadem and make it more engaging and fun for botte-.. botanists and miners.
Male Viera/Female Hrothgar
We heard your pleas and we decided to not add the missing genders to these races because it will be too much work to make them be able to wear hats. Instead, we will make hats compatible with the current genders. Please know that since it is very very hard to do, we will only be adding a few hats every patch.
Character Customization
We cannot let WoW's new character creator outshine us. We will be adding more hairstyles for all races (except Hrothgar and Viera because that is very difficult to do, please understand).
Due to our spaghetti code, we will not be adding other customization options in this expansion, but someday in the future, we might. Please look forward to it.
Housing
Ishgard housing will be available in 6.1. We looked over our budget and decided against fixing the current housing conundrum as it would be too expensive and difficult to do (please understand).
Battle System
Job Changes!
Level cap increased to 90.
Tanks will be further homogenized and the only difference between them will be animations, so please choose which aesthetic you like the most!
Same with healers, but we removed all DPS capabilities from them apart from 1 DoT skill.
New Limited Jobs: Beast Master and Chemist
Beast Master
Beast Masters will use a whip and will be able to tame any monster on Hydaelyn. Level cap will be 50 at launch and will have the same restrictions as Blue Mage.
Chemist:
Chemists is a limited job that requires you to be level 90 on Alchemist before you are able to acquire the job crystal. Chemists will be able to mix potions to heal! Due to the nature of limited jobs, Chemists will only be able to heal Blue Mages and Beast Masters. Chemists will have the same restrictions and Blue Mage and beast Master.
Please look forward to it!!
