Dev Talk Special edition #1
For this week, the Dev Talk was held directly ingame, on Aerafal.
For this special edition, the two game designers
Scheik and
Fryou directly answered questions from the players, under the eyes of
Eskarina (French CCM)
and
WarWeak (Assistant CCM).
And since I know what your first question will be, let me answer it directly:
Yes, I’m working on organizing our very own Special Dev Talk on Remington! 
What’s your plan regarding the lack of Fire equipment?
Scheik: We will add new items as time goes along. At the moment there are as many fire items as others, but we are still balancing some items.
What about revaluating the Handyman profession, particularly concerning decoration item?
Scheik: In next patch we will work on Baker and Chef Professions. Handyman should be right after that: it’s one of our priorities. We can already tell you that when we’ll be done with it, this profession will be great!
Many players are waiting for Jellies for the Gelano, when will this be implemented?
Warweak: The island is being worked on, but we have no date to communicate for the moment.
When will you add more resources for trapper from level 40 to 60?
Scheik: This should come in the next patch.
What do you plan on doing for the Lunar Altar dungeon that doesn’t seem to have any boss?
Fryou: This dungeon is really particular. We will look into a solution, such as “kill the 3 Priestess” instead of “kill the boss”.
Should we expect new features concerning Ikiakits and Haven-Bags?
Scheik: Yes, we’re going to work on bags and give them passive bonuses for professions. We’re also working on increasing the space available in bags.
Will there be an exclusive Prespic family?
Fryou: Not yet.
Will the Moowolf become available in a dungeon or will it stay outside with a long spawn cooldown?
Scheik: We prefer the Moowolf to stay a Worldboss.
Do you plan on adding a special currency for non-subscribers?
Scheik: This is not planned.
What’s your plan concerning the issue with repeated aggressions?
Eskarina: We’re aware of this issue and are working on a fitting solution. We will communicate on this point in the next weeks: this will require work on many levels.
Concerning people that cannot subscribe with Euros, will you add a kama subscription?
Eskarina: No, so far we want to keep subscriptions the way they are.
Will outlaws get additional functions particularly when it comes to anti-politics?
WarWeak: This is being discussed indeed, but we cannot give you any details yet.
What’s your plan concerning the current state of the economy are rare items sold for 1 kama?
Scheik: Players sell their items for the cost they choose without always taking their rarity into account. The economy is in your hands, and you should take all these details into account. We cannot influence the economy.
Are you working on a new set providing a high prospecting buff?
Fryou: There already is one, the Mussly Set!
In the long run, do you plan on completely removing item drop in favor of craft?
Scheik: No, we consider the current system balanced enough.
Will you soon reopen the Drheller dungeon?
WarWeak: Not yet.
Will you re-balance the Cracklers? They’re too powerful for their level…
Fryou: Making these monsters powerful is intended on my side. I find it more interesting for everyone to have monsters providing a real challenge!
What do you plan on doing for sets not to take so much inventory space?
Scheik: We’re going to allow players to combine all items from a set so they only take one inventory slot. It will be possible to “uncombine” them when you want to wear them. However, for this to work, you will need to own all elements of a set!
Will you lower the Moowolf respawn time, or make several spawn in the same time?
WarWeak: We’re looking into a solution to make this respawn more random. But the Moowolf is a worldboss, which means that it must stay rare and only appear briefly on the lands of WAKFU. So we do not plan on making it appear more often.
Will you add more pets?
Fryou: Yes, we want to add some.
Will you remove the Black Crow items? Some were acquired illegally and are currently being sold…
Fryou,
Scheik: no, this is not planned.
Will there be a compensation for Haven-Bags and Kamas loss endured during the last hotfix?
Eskarina: We’re working on a solution and you’ll hear about it soon.
Who’s in charge concerning item description?
Scheik: That’s me! To this point I only worked on some of the latest items added to the game, but from now on I’m the one in charge. Only Books writing and some special elements are not part of my duties.
Will there be new Earth sets in game?
Scheik: There will be new sets based on elements balancing.
What’s your plan for characters level 100 that have nothing to do?
Fryou: We already implemented high level content with the Sadida Kingdom and Kelba Island. We will make sure to bring as much high level content as medium and low level content: everyone should have his share!
Will there be Mythical items?
Scheik: They’re already in; these are the orange mythical items additionally to the legendary yellow items.
Will we see the Trool Set again?
Scheik: It will be in next patch!
Will you add more low level items?
Fryou: Yes! Our objective is to offer as much content for high level as low levels, as we said earlier.
