Wilderness update woes...

So, it was not many patches ago that the dev's, in a rare instance of sharing, informed us that they were working hard on the wilderness aspects of Salem. Insert the Argopelters. I was very excited that this was going to be the beginning of a slew of wilderness additions, but alas, this was really the only thing added to the wilderness. After their arrival, patches seemed to quickly divert to the alchemy system and many other things. Was this really the entirety of the wilderness additions that we can expect??? When can we expect more aspects of the wilderness to be added? More mundane animals, more plants herbs fruits and trees? More to do in the darkness???

They better be adding Timberwolves soon.

I'll have so much fun with searching for those.

Agropelters were the final addition to the PvE aspect of the game. What else were you expecting?

We're getting weekly updates. Since the claim about wilderness updates terrain has been updated, purity nodes implemented, well nodes made, churches and their magical darkness chasing powers. All things considered, I'm not disappointed. Each thing they implement needs to be tested, regardless of how much we'd like to test it. Everything is also still unfinished. Raiding is broken, agriculture is unfinished, production up to high purity agriculture is broken, skill values/abilities is unfinished, and on.

I would love a rare necklace made of squonk tears, an argo beak, and three Hide-Behind fingers that grants my character a special emote. And one day we'll be able to have nice things. Until then, though, I'm happy to test what I can to try and make the core of the game as functional as possible.

No.

Recently there was a thread where everyone was saying how Haven's crafting is much better than Salem's, Jorb asked why and the consensus was that it's because Haven has a developed quality system. I guess that might have rearranged their priorities.

And I guess a 'developed' quality system has to start somewhere...
