Pros and cons of 1.4 as the latest Huanglong patch

Stormy waves has managed to captivate the open world gacha community since its launch in May. Even half a year later, the mysterious planet Solaris-3 still holds many secrets, especially within its various nations. While many players are attracted Stormy wavesThe complex combat system, its rich history and story are equally impressive.

A post-apocalyptic world Stormy waves takes place on Solaris-3, the third planet from the Sun, divided into six different nations. Only three of them are known so far: Huanglong, New Federation and Rinascita. Notably, Shorekeeper, one of the newest 5-star Spectro Resonators, mentions Rinascit, with other mentions scattered throughout NPC dialogue and stingray sightings throughout the game. Although it is not confirmed if Rinascita will be the next nation introduced in 2.0, there are pros and cons to 1.4 being the final Huanglong patch.

Wuthering Waves 1.4 seems to be the last patch before version 2.0

Storm waves targeting the new nation could be huge for the game's story

When Kuro Games released the 1.4 plan for Stormy wavesFans were quick to note that the Japanese patch, now edited, mentions that Resonator Lumi will be removed from the Afterglow Coral Store in version 2.0. Although patch 1.4 is the last update before the developers focus on the next nation, it has a few drawbacks, but it's an exciting prospect. So far, players have spent all their time in Huanglong, and after six months, it seems appropriate for the narrative to take a bigger step forward.

Additionally, fans are excited to see how Rinascita or the New Federation will match up to the established region after many easter eggs. The lore and background hints suggest that the New Federation is an extremely technologically advanced society, but they may have resorted to questionable methods in their pursuit of progress, including the creation of the first artificial resonator. Currently playable Resonators from the New Federation include, but are not necessarily limited to:

• Aalto
• Calcharo
• Addendum
• Mortef
• Verina

Alternatively, little is known about Rinascita, but if Kuro Games is exploring this nation in version 2.0, it is important to note that the story Stormy waves based on Chinese mythology. Rinascita is said to be a version of Atlantis influenced by Greek architecture Stormy waves and Genshin ImpactYouTuber Sidneymar. It is also confirmed that there is a “field of flowers” with daisies and violets as mentioned by the Shorekeeper. There may even be an underwater section, although this remains speculative.

Rinascita was called Sepunia during Wuthering Waves' CBT1.

Regardless, an official introduction of the New Federation or Rinascita would solve one of the remaining mysteries after months of anticipation from the player base. It would also likely introduce players to new major plot enemies, such as Phrol, who is one of the Wardens of Fractsidus. The idea of ​​new World Bosses, materials and mechanics is also quite exciting.

Stormy waves might divert their attention too soon

On the other hand, with 1.4 confirmed to last nearly 50 days, a long period without major updates could leave some players unsatisfied. While Stormy waves Version 1.3 was similarly lengthy at 46 days, with fewer details shared with the player base, making it harder to stay excited. For example, while some are speculating that the New Year's event could be in line with version 2.0, nothing has been officially confirmed by Kuro Games.

In addition, some players who have become accustomed to Huanglong or those who joined the game later may not feel ready to move to the new region. While no one is forced to complete quests or tasks, many of them can still be overwhelming. further Stormy waves it has its shaky moments, especially at launch, and diving into a new nation without being fully prepared could result in a less-than-polished gaming experience. There's also the possibility that some players just won't enjoy it.

“Dive into a new nation without being fully prepared could result in a less than polished gaming experience.”

Overall, despite the potential downsides, it's progressing to another major chapter Stormy waves is an ambitious step and an important milestone in the game's progression. At the end of the day, this is a necessary step if Kuro Games wants to continue the story of Solaris-3. Moving across all six nations and eventually reaching the Celestial Dimension, said to be a level above the mortal realm, will open up new opportunities for both narrative depth and gameplay expansion, keeping the experience fresh and engaging for an ever-growing player base.
