Forum

Since the strongest monster family in the game is probably boowolfs or crows or something close (can't know for sure) you can figure why the drop rates are so low. In the future the drop rates of weak monsters are going to improve into something playable, but for now you have a lvl100 drop rate for lvl50 mobs and a lvl50 drop rate for starting lvl mobs.

Blah blah blah. If you think you are worth 1 hour of my day for this post you are mistaken.Write something we can read, something short and solid, so that any intelligent person will understand what you are trying to say in a couple of minutes. Write like a normal person. Making your readers spend their life over your text doesn't make you look any smarter.
(if you keep on an endless rambling you won't receive a reply)

Something tells me that all this mess actually advertises the kakamakas as something supposedly awesome. lol.

I still want them out though.

lol I knew I would see that... evil

Actually, this is a good thing. For the one who bought the weapon its like buying kamas with ogrines, we know this is possible in Dofus too and it doesn't seem to casue too much trouble. And since the makabrass are tradeable it means its possible to get one even if you don't pay cash. Its still not good they exist but at least its possible for everyone to have one.
Yup, good news for once.

Please try to read more into a sentence before posting. I didn't mean the f2p areas I mean the lack of interraction between p2p and f2p. They can't trade between each other or even join the same group. They can't share anything apart from chatting in the game.

I don't understand what you mean to say. I agree they were forced to release it and had a really hard time with the game. The difficulties they faced and the way they treat the customers are different things.
"Finishing the game" I mean "having it ready for release".

If you are happy with the way things are its cool. I am not. I made this thread because many people seem to share the same opinion with me. If you are here to show me and the others who think the same we are all wrong please don't. This isn't a thread to complain, Its all personal views and a proposition to make things better. Beats raging around the forum.

(Sorry for the second paragraph, it was on the edit. you were quick to reply)

Dear Ankama... This isn't a thread to complain. I think we have complained enough and even if you don't respond I'm sure you can hear us, not only the international but also the probably more loyal french community.
I write this as a personal message and any player can add their little part below if they want.
You have offered us a completely free game for many years, buggy, unstable and unbalanced but completely free, and let us have as much fun as we wished with it. All while paying the emploees that worked for it.
And suddenly, when no one expects it the game is out for a final release, when its clearly not ready, and some pretty rush steps are taken. The gemlin is disabled to make room for pets, that have the potential to bring a profit as it seems. You add the final boss, the ogre, to give the players the idea of a final goal when many bosses one would face before him are still missing. You attempt to balance the classes by making drastic changes in most of them only in a few weeks. And I could go on with many more, its clear that you never wished to finish the whole game in a month after 4 years of development, who would do that anyway.
And yes, you change policies against the players. You ask for subscriptions before the release and many pay, because they trust you, and you have offered years of fun after all. But right after the release you betray their trust by adding a cash shop that was never meant to be there and cover its actual function (selling ingame power) with cheap lies. As if no one would notice. All while in-game you separate f2p and p2p players in an attempt to force more players into subscribing. Its cheap of you, how wouldn't we notice that?
The result of course is the angry mob you have to deal with now. Its the players that used to love you for all you did for them. I was believing in you guys because your games are great, with sweet graphics even though 2d and smart, tactical systems. And all that followed by a cool flash series in anime style. I'm buying these DVDs no matter what, at least.
But look at the result. I can't be sure about it, only you know it. Many of us are pretty damn angry with your attitude and I think we have the right to be, while others just fall for your ways and pay. Just something tells me they are not that many. We were willing to pay because the game was going to be awesome and we wanted to keep playing. And instead we get a load of "smart" deals as pre-subscriptions, an uninvited cash shop and lies lies lies.
Please stop doing that. If our disappointment means something to you, even in money-count, try to have some trust to your old players and be nice as you have always been. Personally I will definitely subscribe and play if only you apologize for the lies and underhanded tactics you used the last months and remove the cash shop (I could even go without an apology but I would be relieved to see it). In short, if you just change back to the Ankama we all know. I also hope many more players will do the same.

My word doesn't mean a lot that's why I hope for the posts of other players too in this thread. Please don't use it to complain about ankama's attitude all over again here, or even doubt my silly hope that this thread might change anything. I'm full aware its stupid. Besides I have been raging pretty much against ankama in this forum the last days myself. Lets see if there are people willing to support Ankama if they treat them with respect.

You do have a point. Thanks for correcting me and i'll make sure I won't use such insignificant reasons to attack Ankama again. Lucky it was you to bring me back to order.

That's exactly what I am saying. Sooner or later people will have to buy things form the boutique, because that's how the cash shops work in any game. Difference is games with cash shop don't require subscribtion.
Since you failed to notice, I didn't mean to blame you I just pointed out your argument was false. You were speaking as if having the pet die is no trouble at all. I don't mind you not telling anyone about the crafted item, I mind you bringing that up to show... whatever you wanted to show by your first post. Perhaps that Ankama is not trying to rip out your pockets with their new cash shop? That despite all their lies and scemes they re good and nice to us? So there.

I'm sorry, I didn't have the chance to find about that item that "you can craft in 5 minutes" in the short time pets were in beta. But let me point 5 minutes and less is crafting time for any item. Getting the materials is another story.

Personally I found the pet dungeon in Dofus pretty fun, I don't know why you 're calling it bad and annoying but each one has their tastes i guess. Sucks for you.

And finally, are you trying to be smart here? I don't know the recipe for your 5 minute item but if having the pet die is something so insignificant why didn't you say that in the first place to those who spend their money to get mummifying candies? The could just let them die and resurrect them later, right?

I'm going to build a tent, put in fancy carpets and a crystal ball and offer predictions for the future. I had explained how exactly this would happen in the pre-subsciption thread... and it was one of the reasons I didn't subscribe of course.

By the way, do you honestly think its worth crafting your items now? If you wait a week you might find very large and fancy bags at the cash shop. Crafting just became 2nd-rate game mode.


PS I apologize for being so blunt. I honestly wish you guys the best, I am just trying to make a point against ankama's attitude here. Because this is also a reason the drop rates are so low.

Dofus: Leave your pet at the Bow Kennel and pay kamas for the time they kept it.

Wakfu: Pay real money or let it die.

You just got a first taste of the boutique.

I would also like to see how strong ingame lvl100 weapons are but I think that's not the point here. Even if the boutique items were weaker than the equivalent lvl100 of the game we will never know for sure that future items will not be overpowered.
Besides they are overpowered and so will be the future items. Otherwise why would anyone pay for them. Simple logic.

I want to say this to everyone, please don't buy anything from the boutique. They want us to be sheep and just buy whatever they put up there. They don't care about our game experience, they only care about the money we can give. Don't allow them to be like that, make them respect you as customers.
Don't give them any money till they remove that shop. They won't care unless they feel their mistake in the money they'll be missing.

+1 on that. Is Ankama trying to punish f2p players for not paying or something? And along with them also p2p are limited to play with other p2p. A mmorpg is supposed to encourage player interaction as much as possible.

Waiting for the pay to win items to be removed from the boutique

Waiting to be able to party with anyone i like, if and when I subscribe

Waiting to see if its really worth to give my money to a company I used to love and disappointed me so badly the very last moment...
