AFK Transcript

AFK is a monthly video in French created for the community.

In order to make sure that the International community receives the same information as the French one, I took the time to write down all the information about WAKFU that are revealed in this video.

If your French is good enough, you can find the video here (there's some Troyle in there): Click here

WAKFU News

The new update will be released next week and will include:

• A revamp of the challenge system. No more challenges, they will become quests that start automatically upon entering the area.
• Hordes: when you fulfill the Clan Member wishes, a horde will appear with a leader. This leader can drop mythical items.
• The update will include more than 150 new items.

Another update will be release in November, and will include:

• A rebalancing of all the areas, dungeons and islands in conquest territories.

We will have an Al Howin event on WAKFU (NT: but you already know about that, more on this later!).

Players’ questions

Will you revamp the ecology?

Yes, it’s part of the improvements implemented in the next update. All monsters families have been reviewed based on the wishes of the Clam Members, and respecting these wishes will provide nice rewards like the appearance of herds with mythical loots.

Will you improve combat, notably the possibility to use consumable before the fight?

Indeed, everything that surrounds fights is being worked on, like the possibility to use consumables before the fight, or even changing your equipment during the placement phase but also the possibility to kick members that joined the fight. This should be implemented alongside features surrounding the territory conquest.

What about incarnam? It currently lacks of immersion. Will you do something about it?

Absolutely. The first part of incarnam is being changed to become more flowing and intuitive. You will also be able to skip the tutorial if you already completed it before. This should be implemented in the next update.

Talk with Azael

Why do we have to pay the tax before selling, in the market?

The purpose is to limit storing in the markets. If the tax was only paid after the purchase, players would be able to store as many items as they want in the markets. However we had a lot of feedback stating that the tax was too high so we decided to lower it to 5%. It’s still up to governments, but it should help a bit.

About storing space, why limit it so much?

It’s not really a design intention, but more of a technical limitation. Each item has a weight in the database and some are heavier than others, which force us to limit storing space. For example a pet is much heavier than 10 resources. The problem is also that chests allow you to store anything you want and we don’t want to limit what can be stored in the chest.

What are the solutions then?

We’re thinking about it. The first solution would be to separate the type of items. However, as simple as it sounds, it’s really not that simple in terms of development and would force us to review the complete storing system. This cannot be done in short term, since we have an update approximately every month that brings new content and we want to keep on favoring content.However, we’re looking into other solutions. You noticed already the appearance of dummies and libraries lately, which should help freeing space in the inventories. We have other ideas, like when the Haven-Worlds will come. And down the road, we know that some professions have a lot of problems with resources storage, like the handyman, and we’re trying to fix it for good, this is not intended on our side.
