when do we get to feel powerful in the questline
By cawleerr#6893 - MEMBER - November 29, 2022, 05:58:33what do u guys think about the fact that we never get to actually do things that actively change the world.
like i wish fighting the sram god was an actual option in the end of the pandora questline, or we could beat up the eca demigod without the help of the crow man, or beat up kali 1 on 1 or actually fight the real count harebourg early on instead a ''copy'' . not killing ogrest or rushu ( gameplay choice)
our character feeling powerful is very important in most rpgs but i don't why we never get that feeling the wakfu quests. i understand that the wakfu quests don't take themselfs seriously but still

Respond to this thread
and i remember in the convo to the Forfut mayor that our characters did say we can now squash Vampyro in an instant and that he's kinda useless for us now. which made me giggle remembering how long time ago, it took me and my friends 3-4 tries to beat Vampyro XD
so in terms of story lore, i think we can sense that we actually are becoming well known and is a sort of a legend.
Also i remember a quest where we called all our old allies to fight Harebourg's portal in Brakmar, that was something else too!
I enjoy that the quest line of the game has you interact with and fight on the same level, even with help, as such powerful characters. We're not demigods! We are a minor character on the scale these divine characters operate on, but we can still fight them and inconvenience them and sometimes even fight them to a standstill. That we can even "beat" Kali in a dungeon is impressive enough to me.
It's the main story line of Dofus to collect all 6 eggs and become all powerful. Even in that game, when that happens, all does not go as expected! Wakfu seems to me to be a game that explores what happens to the world when that power goes unchecked and how regular people interact with a world shaped by destruction and power run amok. I like that break from the typical "your player character is the specialest boy in the whole wide world!!!!!" narrative.
almost nobody plays wakfu for the story they play it for the gameplay or the role playing elements , the story is often used to make the rpg elements shine and make us feel powerful and change etc
''specialest boy in the whole wide world'' funny that u say that because yugo is suppose to be just that , and in context the player character is suppose to have achieved much more than he did during the game i don't see why the show's characters cant be used to make us feel more powerful in quests when the game isn't even canon because they are ready to make us fight them (kali and ush ) but they are making artificial changes to make us seem less powerful (in the case of ush especially )
being a ''chosen one'' and being regular people are not the only 2 options, we are fighters / adventurers that are meant to fight ogrest and i am not sure why are u fighting the idea of beating ush or harebourg in the quest as if that isn't a good thing i?? it isn't good to fight an established character and beat it without strings attached ?? u CAN fight ush and u CAN fight harebourg and WE could have fought sram god but there is always a string attached that makes the player character artificially weaker and no i don't want to see ush or harebourg beaten i want to play against them and beat them just like we play against ogrest and rushu
That aside, fighting Sram in a score based fight would be fun and Wakfu has managed to let us fight things that literally shouldn't make any lore sense before (230 Shushus like Vaal'enthia), so why not? Sounds fun. I'm down. They could make it work.
i took a healer with me and i kept healing him and beating him up again. years of pent up rage now i feel peaceful again
