WAKFU Update: Lard of Combat

Thu, 16 May 2013 16:00:01 +0100

Discover the new content that will be implemented with the update of May 21!

Today, we reveal the first part of the new content that will arrive on the game on May 21.

The complete changelog can be read here.

Enjoy!

Mortal Bacon: The Dragon Pig, New Ultimate Boss

You already met the Dragon Pig yesterday, and it goes without saying that you’re about to take a beating! Only a few days left before meeting him fist to fist!

You can already study your opponent by watching this teaser video, until we publish a Devblog dedicated to this Heavy Weight beast.

Ultimate Bosses rebalancing

After getting your face revamped a couple of times by the Dragon Pig, you may find it useful to practice on the easier ones.

All Ultimate Bosses will receive significant modifications. Their gameplay will still be the same, but the random aspect of many fights has been reduced, and even removed in some cases.

To compensate, we of course rebalanced some of their attributes. But overall you should be able to build much more reliable strategies.

And the collectors should also be happy since each UB will now have 4 achievements to unlock, granting you no less than 2 Titles and 1 Model per Boss.

Converting Tokens to Kamas

Tired of these tokens using space but serving no purpose? Barter them for Kamas!

As we communicated some time ago, we will now implement a machine allowing you to barter your tokens for Kamas.
You will find it where the Nation Gambling Joints used to be.

And here are the exact conversion rates available:

1 Bronze Token = 10 Kamas
1 Dungeon Token = Donjon level * 4 Kamas

Clan Members wishes

When we talked about the Kama revamp, we also announced that we’d like to implement a mechanic where CM wishes would impact the Kama gains.

It’ll now be the case. We now lowered the normal Kama gain but also added and modified some bonuses provided by the CMs.

Each area will now have a bonus linked to this area, additionally to the world bonus:

Kama gain bonus
Wisdom bonus
Prospecting bonus

If no wish is fulfilled, there will be no bonus. If at least one wish is fulfilled, there will be a minor bonus. If all wishes are fulfilled, the bonus will be stronger.

A main square around the Clan Members

In order to give better visual identity to all Nations, more visibility and better use to the CM areas, we will reorganize spaces with: Jonks, Tofus and Gobballs, as well as the first area hosting the monster of the Nation.

These locations will now have a main square around the CM, and include the main important elements (Drago-Express, specific Workshops, Trade areas, etc.).

Nation transports

We will modify the location of some transports in order to ease your travels.

Each region will now have a main Zaap, and Drago-Express will be moved next to the main elements of each area.

Hunters’ Camps in Nations

Many of you set foot on Chillberg Island and got to meet the Guild of Hunters.

Since this Guild will become more and more important along the next udpates, we decided to start implementing it right now. It will now settle in all Nations and will offer you daily quests for the moment.

You will first only have access to a single quest. Once you completed it several times, you will unlock another one, which will then unlock a third one. These quests will consist of resources/seeds gathering or killing the Boss of the Dungeon of the area.

Environmental Quests in the Shhhudoku’s Kingdom

For a better coherence between our islands, and because it’s just nicer this way, environmental quests will be added to Shhhudoku's Kingdom. They will of course offer an experience reward adapted to the level of the area.

Costume/Insignia slot

Still undecided between wearing this gorgeous Pumpkwin Costume or go for the Guild Insignia of Doom making you so much stronger?

You can now wear both! All cosmetic Insignias will be renamed Costumes and will have their own equipment slot. Insignias granting bonuses will still be called Insignia and use the Insignia slot.

Note that a Costume will always display over an Insignia.

Nation change

Not such a patriot after all and feeling like the other Nations would have more to offer?

As we explained in this Devblog, you will now have two options to find your right place in the World of Twelve.

First: A quest repeatable every 30 days. You will only have to visit Astrub and pay 25.000 Kamas to the Ambassador of the Nation you wish to join.

Second: As the Scroll of Absolution, you will also find a Scroll of Allegiance in the Boutique, available and usable once a week per account.

What will it be? Amakna, Bonta, Brakmar or Sufokia?

What about Dungeons?

Each week (or almost) we will open a new dungeon. We will announce them with our Dungeons sheets, as we have been doing for the past weeks.

But if you can’t wait and want to know directly, the ingame Gazette will reveal them in exclusivity!

Gazette

Don’t forget that a part of the Gazette is now here just for you! Have a small announcement to share? A slogan or false advertising for us? Send your ideas to your Community Manager, we will retain the funniest for publication in the next gazette.

Votes are now open and the contest continues!

Thu, 16 May 2013 15:40:00 +0100

You can now vote for your favorite Photo and Video in the Frigostworld Challenge!

It’s now time to involve your networks! But watch out, new entries are still accepted!

Found your favorite picture? Vote for it, like it and share it!
The Frigostworld Challenge is now completely underway and there has to be the one entry that will receive your vote. Now is time to make it known!

Note however that you can only vote for one picture and one video. If you vote a second time, your first vote will be canceled!

If you didn’t send in your entry yet, you have until June 5^th to send us your Photos and Videos and try to win one of the Frigost Snowboards, subscription time, Krosmaster figurines, etc!

Discover the content of May and June in WAKFU!

Wed, 15 May 2013 17:40:01 +0100

Now that Count Harebourg is back to Chillberg Island, he’s getting ready to saw discord with his bunch of Villains. Today we come back to you with more information and details on the additions implemented in the next weeks…

May update

Save the date: on May 21st we will deploy the new WAKFU Update! We will reveal its content tomorrow.

Until then, we still wanted to introduce you to the Dragon Pig, implemented next week! This Ultimate Boss will be the most powerful in game (it was getting too easy, right?) and Count Harebourg will of course try to recruit him on his side. Curious about the beast? Discover this exclusive gameplay footage!

The Dragon Pig will also be in the next WAKFU Mag where the Game Designers will give you hints on how to defeat him… Or at least hints that should allow you to loose with style. This issue will also cover most of Chillberg Island and some secrets that you may have not yet unveiled.

But enough about May, let's talk about June!

June update

Haven Worlds, Guilds revamp, GvG… All of these will be explained in details in the next weeks.

Concerning the Guilds revamp, our goal is to give you better tools to play together. We want you to have a better view of the impact your group can have on the world, but also develop your guild as you like with a new bonus system. We wanted to remove the idea of sacrifice when one wants to help his guild evolve. With this update, you will no longer have to share your experience to help your guild. You will have to achieve specific group objectives like completing a dungeon, daily quests linked to your guild, defeating a Ultimate Boss with at least 2 members of the guild, etc. Your implication in the game will define the power of your Guild. This mechanic will also allow us to bring back interest for those who already had a max level guild. More soon…

Guild versus Guild will bring a real PvP aspect with specific rules and goals (but also impact the entire game). Completely integrated into the game and not limited to specific areas, it will be possible to perform GvG wherever you want, even in the Haven-Worlds! Our goal however is to allow everyone to contribute, no matter how powerful they are. We will therefore start a global PvP rebalancing with a modification of the PvP state.

We're also looking into the opportunity to organize a large scale testing of this content. We should be able to tell you more in a short future.

And finally, the level cap will be raised to 125!

Also

Additionally to these two updates, we have important information to communicate.
As we told you from the beginning, the 2013 Roadmap isn’t set in stone, and it could happen that we have to delay features.

Mounts

Mounts turned out to be a much tougher challenge than anticipated. This is why we will not be able to implement them in 2013.

We are currently looking into other potential “ultimate” rewards for the Almanax in order to reward all those who collected 360 Almokens. We will make sure that this reward allows you to “reserve” a mount, no matter what.

It’ll be a double reward:

A unique accessory with exclusive and powerful stats,
A guarantee that you’ll receive a mount the day they are implemented in WAKFU.

We deemed it essential to reward those who collected 360 Almokens in hope of receiving a Mount, and make sure that this reward would include a mount later down the road.

Since this was our first promise, we wanted to honor it even if it takes us longer.

We hope to be able to tell you more about this new reward soon.

Arenas revamp

First planned for May, it has to be postponed to a later date, not yet decided.

Arenas will stay closed until then.

Class revamp

Here’s another very sensible subject requiring a lot of thoughts, discussion with the community, and development.

We hoped that we could implement the complete revamps in just about 2 updates, and it turned out too optimistic. The production time of these revamps, additionally to other huge projects such as Haven-Worlds and GvG force us to postpone these changes.

Although the order should stay unchanged (Xelor, Eniripsa, Foggernaut, Pandawa, Sram and Feca), the implementation date are still in discussion.

We know that your gaming experience is directly impacted by these changes, and we want to make sure that they only improve your experience before implementing them. We hope to be able to inform you as soon as possible about the release dates.

That’s it for now. We’ll stay as attentive as ever to your feedback, and try to answer your questions the best we can!

Thank you for your passion and commitment!
