rollback helps finding them? how?

even so but is it worth it? I mean run around in the game a little, I don't want it to be this way but I think a lot of players have left, forfut, kelba and monk island is virtually empty, active guild member is less than half of normal. I'm not advertising but many people have been talking about D3 coming out, this rollback at this crucial time is not really helping the company financially.

@[MOD]Masama:

economical disaster, how? I didn't see a massive surge of vamp set items in market... those players probably keeps them for themselves. or is there something else causing it?

people are blaming Ankama because they allowed this to happen, people are unpredictable, yes THOSE PEOPLE are to be blamed for this, but Ankama more so because they should know that people are unpredictable, they should know that they will exploit the game if they can, and still they let it happen. what's probably causing a lot of heat is the fact that, Ankama decided to upset everyone on the server (personally I don't know anyone who's happy about the rollback), instead of pinpointing the abusive players and punish them accordingly. whether that is technically viable or not is not the concern of the players. it sounds mean but it's true, no one cares how difficult it is to only punish the ones who deserve it, it just seems the right thing to do and people expected it to be done.

however, the truth couldn't be further away from the right thing, that's why people blame Ankama, and in my opinion, they rightly so.

okay this is more bugged than I expected.

I lost a bag in the first bag slot, but the game seems to still think it's there, because when I buy / trade things, it doesn't appear in my other 2 bags, this leads me to think new items are still being added to the bag which is not there any more. I've the further tested by giving my character more and more different items, and eventually it started to appear in my other bags.

so now, I really really really expect this to be fix please!!!!

lol what else do you like?

people level spells to get elemental resist, attack damage and w/e other reasons quite frankly it's up to them and them alone, you have no right to call them "mindless". your definition of fair seems a little off to me, just because you don't spend time and effort to level spells, you're saying people who do are creating unfairness in gameplay. come on, where is the logic in that?

in fact I think it is fair either way (xp limitation or not), because in both cases, all players are restricted by the same rules. except with the implementation of xp limitation, people who have already maxed a few spells are suddenly at an unfair advantage.

this is just another trick to hinder our progress in the game, there have been many before, simply because Ankama want us to take sweet time to achieve certain things, the real purpose of this change, I suspect, is so that people don't already have maxed spells before they raise the level cap to 200. the entire Wakfu game and Ankama's way of challenging/entertaining us is the following:

Ankama: "I designed this game, it should keep you entertained and provide ample challenge. Now give me your money"

consumer: "okay fair enough. let me try this..." (power grind at wild gobs)

Ankama: "no no no, wait, you're supposed to struggle" (goes to increase mobs hp and lower global drop rate)

consumer: "okay... let me try something else" (exploit bosses)

Ankama: "how dare you take advantage of our flawed system, seriously, when you pay for a broken product you should be nice to the company and have patience, everyone knows that, com'on have some common sense." (punishes everyone and removes xp at level cap)

Ankama turns to developer: "that should buy you some more time, now crack on with the next content patch"

consumer: "okay... good luck with that... er... game"

I can't see any new class in that link you provided? Masq?

@hellbringer66765:

I think the potion is to compensate for lost items that players obtained through fair play in the 44hrs period before rollback, they never said "it's normal that you will lose things from before this time period".

plus, I can't even get the potion.

Problems caused by rollback (mainly items) Okay I have 2 problems with the rollback:

1. After collecting all the gifts, the +100 wisdom potion is no where to be found. I have 2 accounts and this happened to both of them. just to clarify, I was online yesterday and I have lost levels, items and kamas, so I should be eligible to obtain one. (the potion in the gift window did not have an icon, so at this point I don't even know what it looks like)

2. I lost a bag (The Charity) which was possibly obtained less than 44 hrs before rollback, this is fine. but I also lost everything in that bag, which includes mats and equipment items, I do not remember the exactly what though. many of those items have existed way longer than 44 hrs before rollback so I believe I shouldn't have lost them.

please, bring this to the attention of the people who can fix it. Thanks.

--------------------------------------------------------

Edit:

Just a follow-up, upon relogging, I lost my main bag (and everything inside, including my passport and gremlin).

I seriously hope they can fix this.

I agree that PvP is a great feature of the game, and also agree that Ankama doesn't seem to care about its customers.

but I look at it another way: to stop caring whether they care or not. ofc in your case it affected your delivery and it's hard to just "forget about it", it's a shame. I feel that you've made a right choice, but also going to miss out on a lot.

don't really know you particularly well, but seen you around a few time, so all the best.

I don't think it's a terrible analogy, because:

driving over speed limit is not (at least usually) a desirable thing to do, people buy fast cars to assert their social status, not to ACTUALLY drive as fast as a car can go. of course not 100% but this is true with most super car owners. a kettle that prints cash on the other hand, would be something that most people want to have. plus, there are multiple reminders for a car owner to drive safely, e.g. car beeps, road signs, etc... those things are designed and implemented to prevent disaster, this world boss abuse thing, however, has no such barriers. therefore I still believe the fault lies with the developer.

I'm not saying all people are evil and will do bad things when they can, but most people will disregard the benefits of others for their own, that is why we have the law system. what I'm saying is: the law system in the Wakfu world is flawed, and in this specific case, people who write the lawbooks are responsible for the outcome, not us.



agreed.

the new vampiro dungeon is difficult, we tried a few times and didn't even get to the last room. it is frustrating but it's also a valid challenge which we failed. this world boss thing is not just frustrating, I mean we can't even try.

put them in dungeons, give everyone a chance.

I believe this was stated in the dev log released a few days ago, so one could argue it's your responsibility for not reading it.

Ankama doesn't want you to exhaust their new content (including the 5 levels above 100) too quickly, so I'm guessing this is their solution to it.

I don't know if they fixed this or not (cos I can't log on to check), but this existed before the patch:

1. Sram sometimes just can NOT use Guile on some opponents, for no apparent reason. at first I thought this was some kind of solution to prevent choking mobs (it happened mostly in Crow dungeon for me in narrow choke points), but then it happened everywhere else too. It is very occasional, but still, sometimes it ended up losing a fight for me. Quite annoying.

2. The hotkey for Contact and Inventory is reset every time I close the client, meaning I need to re-assign those hotkeys every time I run the game. It is a minor one, but still, they should fix it.

Again I have no idea if they already fixed them or not.

your post will probably get closed/moderated, if you want to criticize, talk to them like they're your boss (your best bet) or be really offensive (not recommended), otherwise you won't get a reply.

I said this in another post and I'll say it again:

it's easy to accuse other people for crossing the line, but the line is not presented to everyone. not half, but all except a very few will go kill world bosses if they could, whatever the methods. this is the developers mistake. I'll use the analogy again: if I buy a kettle that can print cash, I will print a lot of cash, and hurt the world economy by doing so, can I be blamed though?



I think the developers intended for the world bosses to be more difficult to kill, thus more difficult to get the loot, but their execution (game design abilities) have led this intention astray. exactly what happened with Nun dungeon, they wanted it to be hard to get, and as result no one except a very few people could even have a try.

they should concentrate on the bosses and make them more challenging to kill, and stop preventing most people on the servers the opportunity to just have a go.

guess I'll just have to make new Sram, max Shadow Master and try a backstab with fire/water spell, only 9 levels won't take very long.

so yea, with lvl17 Shadow Master all attempt of non-air back-stabbing with double reveals itself

I'm not so happy about this  

I sacrificed damage to get 2AP with stat points as Sram, and it's working out really well for me. you shouldn't underestimate the power to extra AP, borrow an AP amulet from a friend, try it out, you never know. just saying.

do you have maxed Shadow Master? if not then you can only stay invisible by backstabbing with air spells.



really? could you be more specific please? I mean Sram to the Bone is a passive ability, my double certain benefit from that (meaning it'd have more Perception and Dodge). also Reflex, my double has dodged melee attacks before, I think, point me out if I'm wrong.

so true, they're making DRASTIC changes to the game, so in a very real sense, we're still testing things out.

but I'm a sucker when it comes to 2D RPGs, so I kinda don't regret having paid for a game-in-testing for 3 months, however, after it runs out in a few weeks, imma wait for a few major content updates before subscribing again. so there' be enough content for me.

and I still strongly disagree with people who think it's an exploit to kill the BC, whatever the methods. because there is not a single person here who wouldn't solo kill a BC if they could, it's easy to accuse other people of crossing the line, but the line is presented to very few people, the rest are just staring in jealousy. Ankama made a mistake with their product, consumers have nothing to be blamed for. let's keep this crystal clear.

the real question is, do they have a smart plan in anything?



exactly, most people unhappy about something will likely find themselves speechless when Ankama brings out the small print. basically they put up a very nice shop front to lure you in, and once you're in they're the boss.

maybe double WP at the same time, there are classes who rely heavily on WP, drag a fight for too long means they have no chance of winning.
