I was getting all ready for criticism until i realised it was from yesterday XD

Its a nice idea to allow blending of the classes similar to guild wars 1 but the method is horrible, its just a whole different level of grind. It would almost be like they wanted you to live and WORK in Wakfu :p

Hahaha, I just find this hilarious. I keep coming back to check it out XD

Were they seriously expecting positive feedback? Talk about delusional... I played two characters up to lvl 50 and got bored very fast. I'm not even going to bother coming back because Its going to take months if not years to get this game up to standard and even then it'll probably still focus heavily around a horrible grind. Grinds are sssoooo last decade ;p

Aye, my PK guild on shadowbane was specialized in taking down the big dominative (but generally weak) guilds like Lion Hearts. Mainly because we were true pvpers and loved the challenge (we even killed each other in celebration after each city we destroyed). We were always outnumbered and only made alliances if things got out of hand. Heh, our reputation still echoes quite a bit throughout other games... good times, good times.

Funny thing is that it was an english speaking russian guild. I did wonder if there was some HoE in LH but from the way they're acting I doubt it now. Save for a few exceptions ...not everyone shared the same guild ideal.

Whats this all got to do with the price of fish? Isn't that what sufokian politics is all about? :p

I'm sorry but I guess you're just another hopeless case. You're operating off other peoples opinions that you've heard, allowing the human instinct to fear the unknown to weave the worst possible idea of other cultures without actually knowing all the facts. Yes, there is some injustice within other cultures but not to the same scale you're thinking. There's bad within every culture, we just don't see it as clearly in our own because when we hear of it we think 'I don't think or act like that, it doesn't represent my culture... its just a minority'. I can even step outside myself and quite clearly see why one would look at capitalism with disgust considering what I said about American government earlier. Anyway, Russia has as much a democracy as other countries, its just run by a more overt and conventional criminal than others. I wonder if you've ever heard of Goldman Sachs? No? They're just a financial firm you say? Well, no surprise there... is there?

People should learn to start dealing with their own problems before pointing their finger at others. Lion Hearts may be primarily russian but they're not representative of their nation. They're just a group of anti-social hardcore gamers like you get in any other game or country. I've played in russian guilds before and not encountered the same problem. Besides, LH seem to be behaving as governor for now... even if i still think they need to work on their attitudes.

Until you step outside the confines of your own mind I'm afraid you represent the worst thing about the human race

Of course, I'm not saying I'm perfect, we're all human after all. Though at least I understand my hatred and I can step back and rationalize it when I need to. The only thing one should allow themselves to hate is hate itself.

Maybe you should rethink taking up such a stance. I'm heavily involved in staying up to date on world politics and take part in online campaigns (Click here, check it out) aswell as the occasional rl protest/demonstration. I don't watch much TV but when I do its always RT (Russia Today) which is by far the most reliable news station out there. Before you say anything, they also cover the corruption in the Russian government.

America is a country ruled by propaganda and bought out by the rich and influential. I mean, just check out Fox News, Americas most popular news show and by far most warped idea of news I've ever seen. Politics is for sale there, for example two of the republican candidates are pretty much bought and owned by greedy bankers who pay themselves roughly a billion dollars a year. Then there's the tea party movement... the more overt take over by the rich and powerful that's currently in progress. They label their movement as 'a vote for freedom' which is really quite easy to sell to the brain dead masses (not that all americans are dumb). I live in the UK and the situation is almost the same... we're pretty much an island for rich people to live on quite comfortably without having to worry about as much tax as in other countries (most of it is regressive). I'm currently following the Scottish Independence movement with keen interest though... still weighing the risks and my trust in Alex Salmond, although it probably won't happen either way thanks to the Tory fear mongering.

But yeah, this is all off topic... I just hope you start to take a closer look at things before making such an arguement. The whole world is corrupt and its senseless to argue that one nation is more corrupt than another.

I'd probably stop giving them labels like that. They're children, they'll probably start thinking it makes them cool or something . Then again, sadly, they're probably even the types to take any kind of attention and twist it into some kind of delusional pro for themselves *sigh*

Ok dude, chill. You may aswell be saying that about any country. Democracy doesn't exist in any country, not yet anyway... besides, LH act more like your stereotypical American than anything else.

Heh, you need only look at member join dates and what they say (mine should be older but I don't remember my older account details). I'm from the days of the wisdom xelor and the roulette ecaflip, perhaps even the first to come up with the builds (of which they utterly destroyed and never gave the option to fix until much later... when I had already quit).

The people who have been around the longest don't show much faith in ankama whilst the younger players are trying they're damned hardest to protest. Its kind of a strange mirror reflection of real life. Although, since I cannot simply change which world I live in I hope I never fall into the same resignation out here :p

Other game developers understand how to make a game both absorbing and fun. Ankama sadly still hold onto the outdated belief that its the grind that keeps players going. That or they lack the ability to come up with an alternative. In actuality the thing that maintains a player base is providing the players with a sense of achievement and there's many ways of doing that without making it pain stakingly boring for them.

Jeebus people, you're acting as if this is not the same people who worked on Dofus. They're only the same dopey b*****ds, of course they're not capable of making a wholly enjoyable game without screwing up, lol :p. This time round it just seems like they want to fill their pockets, although I'm not sure whether its pure greed or circumstance that's made them do it. They've spent so much time faffing around in beta that they've probably been forced to make people start paying for what is clearly still a beta. Its like they cant just pick a direction and stick with it... whoever their lead game designer is I think needs to be fired tbh. The game has so much potential that its just being wasted on them.

Personally, the only reason I'm playing this is as a filler while I upgrade my PC and wait until Guild Wars 2 comes out (now, those guys really know what they're doing). I already know fine well what Ankama are capable of doing after my experience with Dofus. I'm not foolish enough to think that they've suddenly changed and im definitely not foolish enough to invest too much time in this game only to see everything get tossed up in the air again.

I will say though, its a shame that such a great concept as a turn based mmorpg lies almost sololy in the hands of ankama. I just hope one day I'll be able to bring an alternative around, for now though I'll just watch and learn from their mistakes and the occasional good they produce. To be honest they're just trying too hard without a particular plan or direction, something that they so desperately need. But at least they've got you all hooked, I guess that's what they're counting on for now at least.

(Edit: I've since gone on to find out that the lead programmer is in fact one of the co-founders of Ankama... LOL. Ah well, Kudos on the base concept.)

Like I've said, I'd respect Lion Heart if they stayed out of politics or were in one of the under populated nations (then we'd have alot more fun). I've played alongside russians in many games and have been in PvP/RPK guilds so I have no problem with such people, its more the fact that LH are wanting to stack everything in their favour and dominate. That kind of thing kills games by discouraging new players into the game and gradually making others quit. It also makes for very bad PvP.

The fact is that they've lied and acted like complete children towards other players in the game. You need only look at their attitude on the forums and their argument against Wimbie, who albeit being far from a good governor did not deserve to be killed repetitively and bullied to the point where he just gave up leveling. LH take great pride in what they did, you can see it all over the forum. That alone speaks volumes.

Imagine if you were doing some mining and had one kill you so he could have more to himself? Then you argued your case only to have the whole guild come down on you for it? Apparently this behavior is quite common and I've even witnessed it myself on a few occasions. Sure you might be able to avoid them for so long but what if it were eventually you? Would you really just cower and accept it?

They speak alot about being strong and nonsense like that. It takes alot more strength to oppose them rather than join them and play under their heel. I could imagine being in their guild being something akin to always playing a game on easy mode, self gratifyingly boring.

People note voting is exactly how people like this get into power  

Sounds like LH, lol.

Go to sleep children, go to sleep... nothings wrong here. Go back to sleep. Ignore the rebels out protesting on the streets, they're poison. They don't care about you like we do.

*sings* Oh, we're the puppet people... yes we are...

You'll come to regret only noticing his nice words and his charming smile spam and not the undertones of what hes actually saying.

Balls you did, you did it for yourselves and would've done it either way. I won't go down the usual route and diss you for it but just because you grind away alot more than other folks who have lives away from their computers doesn't make you any better than anyone else. I think if anything it shows a general lack in interest in other people which is quite evident from your guilds general attitude.

Jannet is an accomplished player and knows the game well, she cares about other people too. Just because the rest of her guild don't devote as great a deal of time to grinding away in numbers as Lion Hearts doesn't make her any less worthy. It probably makes her more worthy because she's willing to slow down for her friends, she's not completely focused on her own goals.

We really want this attitude running things? :/

Theres plenty more experience out there that isn't lionheart I believe I know of one particular future candidate that will easily qualify for a good governor without being an ass. I won't say their name yet to avoid another launch of propaganda and shit against them though.

I think most of us who voted wimbie are only holding positive votes till we're ready to vote another candidate. Not sure right now since I've been travelling the past few days but we may have started switching to negative votes now.

I'd respect Lionheart if they stayed out of politics. Its always good to have a faction like them to pvp against. Its not good when such a faction gain some control over a large portion of the game world though.

I'm sorry but Lion heart don't deserve any kind of responsibility with the way they act. They constantly lie and manipulate just to get their votes. Who you need is someone experienced and not likely to shit all over any freedom you might have. You can't say anything they don't like without being harassed by them. Take Wimbie for example, a simple beginner to the whole thing. He said a few words Lion heart didn't like and so they sent a team of power leveled characters to constantly hunt him down and rape him. I mean, sure he said something bad and wasn't a particularly good governor, but terrorizing him for it like that? Jeebus, talk about a bunch of delicate social rejects. I'm all for finding any excuse to PvP but I don't like piling the odds against the opposition or killing an easy target repetitively, its just purely spiteful and no fun at all. If you value your freedom then just stay clear of em, they're better off as rabid dogs to PvP against and let loose upon other nations rather than leaders who will ruin so much of the game for others. I mean, whenever a guild like this tends to grasp power you notice a gradual decline in server population and activity... don't let the same happen to Wakfu!

There will be other worthwhile candidates, ones that have both experience and respect. That I can ensure you of. Vote for them, not Lionhearts.

I've not been a target of theirs yet, merely an outside observer who has seen it all happen and talked to a few of the key figures on each side to get an idea of exactly whats going on. I guarantee you that I will probably be a target now simply because I share my honest opinion that counters their interests.

Actually, totem is about the best skill in the game in my opinion. You can use it to double up your aoe spells, kill monsters that use aoe themselves and help the group kill a mob without even being near it. It has some extreme potential for tactical gameplay.

I myself have totem level 5 and constantly play the tactic of totem, doll seed (thankfully the AI is pretty dumb and converts your seed for you). Quite simply you hide behind the doll while hitting the totem and hardly get damaged yourself. Im only level 32 and I've already been able to do over 100+ damage to a single mob in a turn just with these 2 non-aggressive spells (I love scaras fire attack!).
