whining

1. True, i know solo server is coming but as a long tern solo player it would be nice to have some team incentives
2. Honestly, tax seems fine
3. Yeah pets loosing HP when you die is kinda annoying, but then the whole pet system could be updated a bit after all this time. Dedarm is fine tho.
4. Yeah

The wakfu dev team is slowly improving the game... we just have to be patient. hopefully the 1c (1 character) server will solve a lot of these issues.

1. Yea I would like to see some multiplayer back into this MMO. But this means that there should also be content scaled to solo players in the event they can't find any other players. I would absolutely hate not being able to level or finish content because I so happen to not be able to find players for it. 

2. I think there should be a Kama sink for activating Steles instead of using resources to activate it. Sinking Kama on a frequently used mechanic which has beneficial AND optional function for players is the best way to do it imo. Idk just how much Kama is needed to activate one but it shouldn't be ridiculously expensive. 

3. NGL I hate Dedarm stacking, but Level 1 Dedarm is fine with me. Is that weird? Pet health loss for not feeding is fine with me, health loss on death is no no. Please remove it.

>dedarm is bearable but i just hate respawning outside of the dungeon with 1hp, no mmo does it anymore

I mean you did die from loosing all your HP, so respawning with 1 HP makes sense

But on the other hand, I wish they made the HP regen when sitting a % rate instead of flat, cause at endgame levels it takes ridiculously long to regen any of it

"Not being able to get stuff just because you don't have specific class in team is just bs "

This is what I hate most. Please buff weaker classes regularly. You have data on class and spell usage, just buff the numbers of the weaker classes every once in a while.

1.- The.Game.Needs.A.Party.Finder (Link). I don't honestly know how it is possible that in a game with literally over 100 dungeons and a community spreaded across 230 levels and classes Devs still believe that not having one is beneficial to the game when it has been proven across the years that it is not. I really believe that a party finder would solve that issue (players playing alone on an MMO) and create a constant flux of players at every level without the need of Heroes and I dare say that Heroes would've never been added into the game if we had such system from the start (well, I guess Heroes would speed up the queueing process because they'd cover a role on the team, so 1 player would count as 3)  but hey apparently spamming LFG on a multilanguage global channel for HOURS is more human and fun, craaazy. 

But I will say tho, I believe Heroes aren't the responsibles of 6-boxing. You have always been able to create your own full team of 6 for free since the beginning of the game by opening multiple clients, even devs are aware of that and even give you an official setting in the launcher to register your accounts and open them up instantly. All Heroes do is make that process of multiaccounting easier by reducing the needed accounts from 6 to just 2, they saw an opportunity there and turned into a service. I say this because I would hate seeing the removal of the Heroes because players will just say "ok, I will just transfer my characters or create a new account, no big deal" and continue playing alone, but for many of us having multiple clients open is annoying as heck specially if you don't have dual monitors or something

2.- Well, maybe an interesting kama sink would be adding a kama cost to the Enchanting system? Genshin, Destiny, some korean MMOs tend to use the game's currency among other materials to upgrade and improve your gear. Maybe by adding a Kama cost when using shards on a Socket or when putting a sublimation on an item would be a good Kama sink and, at the same time due to the new cost, Devs could reduce the amount of shards needed to Enchant an item at higher socket levels.

3.- I feel like Dedarm just adds salt to the injury. I'm not against spawning at 1hp but having to wait for dedarm to go away after healing up is kind of annoying ngl, specially if you use Heroes. The slow passive HP regen is punishing enough if you don't have bread on you, needing 2 different consumables per character to quickly get back into battle is ... ugh, please no.

4.- I think that issue should be solved once every class is reworked. But I'll admit I haven't been paying attention to the boards so idk if there have been an increase in Cras, Huppers, Elios or any other recently reworked class.

3.- yeah, weird lmao because why would you rush into battle with a debuff 

Trying to beat Competitive Enviros :p 

I agree with most of if not all of this, old rune system was a perfect Kama sink and was 10x better than the system we have now. The system we have now just added a ton of RNG that makes set building even more of a chore than it was before, you could make the argument that it allows for more specialized builds and higher player power but idk the whole system has rubbed me the wrong way since day 1.

I want the mono server to be good but they’re gonna have to fix a lot of this for it to be functional, I’m genuinely worried about clearing content when that server drops and the economy as well… it has a lot of potential but I don’t envy the work the devs are gonna have to put in to make it work well.

first of all thank you for the answer Siu , it gives some nice feeling that Devs answer some question sometimes and not just CMs (even if they do amazing work) .

ODDLY?

i was player at remmington server and i can tell with 80% confidence this is also because that particular international server was more civilized than the others , the mayority used kelba market or paid the taxes without whinning ,was the server with less corruption or at least there was pillar of alligned good paladin players(i was part of the people that busted and reported many scammers even LLane), seeking to help busted the corrupt players , even if whole riktus nation was corrupted at the time , was very normal and popular using the market even if the taxes was unbalanced ... perhaps there were same problems like kama sellers and dupers , this two variables striked back all the servers , please take in account that the behaviour of the playerbase towards the kama market was very different at the time .... very few players was unable or had troubles paying the boosters via cell codes or whatever ... now mayority want all free and on that mindset thing must worth less so the whole economy sinks ! 

Even if im spanish i rejected to played on elbor community due to the amount of tax evasion , toxicity and corrupted players that still play the game braking the efforts for a more healthy and fun economy ... now is not good because the time invest versus the low profit  kicks out many players . on this new server rubilax the kama sink have a strong variable and is that many ..really many super players use to sell kamas and thats something the game cant track because they evade that by using guild banks !

i find really odd why at remmington server the spanish community didnt harmed the server as the whole elbor server is doing to rubilax ? i guess remmnigton server was dollar and euro economy based playerbased versus elbor that was all latin america and just spain players currency... nowdays is not even clear if the support team care of the TOU when report a scammer or illegal behaviour .

As an example i remember on remmington server that some monopoly grinders used to choose a niche ,for example the guy that just sells experience potions or some kind of bread : normally when you tried to sell for less the same seller buys your product and then he monopolize the price making a standard, away from the ogrine/kama/euros  rates so at the end some resources and items was selling using that standard and the market full of this monopoly sellers that at the end helped protected the economy for many years on that server .... hope this help to understand few facts .

i want to ask you personally if is possible to give us at least or just evaluate the actual situation about population , because is a fact that the mayority around 50-70% of remmington players left the game ...many because the language barrier and cultural distance... is not possible to separate chat by language ?
 
World is changing to unify humanity for transparency as you said  ... how come is possible the team didnt warn the community about all this massive changes for log into game before the update ...and i mean by testing the  beta so people decide when to pay for their booster i myself looses 20 days due to the new " old " mac  log troubles that suposed to be solved in several weeks ... svereal weeks ? 

best regards 

fellow player GOUG

thanks for the great work even if few of us seem not happy is just that is hard to swallow some changes and some others feel nonesense...
just saying but did  ankama ever thought about kama being a cryptocurrency or something that validates the pirates in game to trade more legal ..maybe that way the full game can balance the economy someday .

this reminded me...i knew ingame names of most of resellers and was avoiding buying anything from them, my motivation for that was to deny speculants getting even richer. Those were fun times

talking about transparency ...SIU it is possible to give to the playerbase some calendar to know when this game will be finished?

is a game not finished and seems still at alpha / beta status when need to rework in small periods of time is because the said changes didnt work at all ... is frustrating 

------please

Finally, I'm not the only one who feels like death penalties are an outdated mechanic from old world MMORPG's, hell, even Aion ditched those

first of all hello,
i want to share some my opinion maybe lot of player dont like it maybe like it lets discuss in this reply
i played tons of games and a being part of game industry but that doesnt mean what i write here acceptable.

 Nowadays in our world everything give us fast consumable dopamin, wakfu turn based game not a action or like that, so players (mostly new ones) get boring fast (in my opinion). They want try something new, explore the world and being part of the game but todays system not let them what they want. They need good items to being part of party, they need strong items to being part of pvp list
but they need to grind very much (usually i like grind but when its overgrindy or rng im going to burnout) and some of dont want pay.

And my ideas are;

I- Less level. Thats mean new player shouldnt fear the high numbers.
II- Less grind for everyting (i know grind is the best friends for mmorpg's but we can see other games loses players when grind is high (also rng)
III- Party system difficulty. I want to see diffculty scales for party members which 2-4-6 group size not everyone find ppl to talk or be team or just want to play with close friends.
IV- There should be fun end game contents but as i said less grind for try new things.
Actually i cant try new things because items are over priced and no time for craft my own gear over and over again for acceptable rune combination. Actually i love to buy cosmetics and being social.




 

"6 players teams are not existing in this game now"

Well, before the hero system I, a player not yet in the end game, couldn't find group for anything. I'm glad they implemented the hero system. Also, when you have a support character, like a Feca Protector or a Tanker which you have absolute s**t damage and a lot of resistance/HP, how are you supposed to level up alone compared to people which only play as Damage Dealer (DD)? If you're saying something against the Hero System, you better consider those points before going against it.

"No kama sinks"

As Siu pointed out, the kama sink right now is already being looked upon and I think it's already fine as it is. The only way for it to get better is if they made consumables a more common thing. I never seen someone using/buying consumables other than bread and I guess the Chef profession is in a bad state right now (I might be wrong, tho, but at my current level I don't see why I should waste 40k on a consumable which will be wasted on a single fight and won't make a huge difference). Too many resources for too little benefit. They should use less resources in recipes or increase the amount of product you get form it.

"Death penalties"

You can buy consumables to compensate, which is part of the kama sink.

"Not being able to get stuff just because you don't have specific class in team is just bs"

Totally agree with that. Lately I'm not playing with classes which I like, I'm playing with classes required to do the game content. The balance is non-existent here. Some branches/elements/builds for some classes are totally useless and the punishment for using some passives are way higher than the benefits of using them and there are a lot of bad mechanics and bs right now. Like, what's the point in creating a tanker and investing in a lot of lock if almost every mob have a jump/push.

Well the thing about wakfu is that unlike most MMOs where getting to max level is basicaly a grind gate before you get to the fun stuff, in wakfu getting to max lvl is the core gameplay.
There is nothing to do at the max level because when you get there you finished the game, aside from lowering your level to do low lvl stuff again.

Well, basically logged to ask this. I guess there's still no point playing this if I actually want to interact with people and most content below 200 is abandoned outside of the odd ALS run?

 

MiniMikeh#4687|2023-05-05 20:24:31

There are 3 man dungeons that you can do with heroes as well as rifts. But to answer your question more directly yeah, if you aren't interested in ALS content it's a hard sell... 

Welp, probably for the best, I'll just keep touching grass I guess, peace.

Um no, most content below 200 isn't abandoned since 90% of players are below lvl 200. It's just sometimes tricky finding a group if you aren't in a big guild.

Not having people to play with was always a problem any time I attempt to poke my head into the game. And while some people will praise the system; I just found the idea of sidekicks ESPCIALLY Heroes as selling a bandaid to the problem. And then upselling you on the actively good ones. 

With the new game coming out; I ask why SHOULD I play with others when I can just throw money at the problem and play solo the entire way through it seems.
