Here I am again,

We designed a few passives and changes for Ecaflip. We would be very interested to hear your feedback on the following changes :

Global changes

• Fleahopper's max range : 3 -> 4
• Each use of Feline Leap removes 1 use of the spell
  • Formerly : using the spell just once would reset the number of use at end of turn
  • Now : If you didn't use Feline Leap for 4 turns, at the start of your 5th turn you have 5 uses.
    • If you use it once -> next turn you'll have 4 uses
    • If you use it twice -> next turn you'll have 3 uses
  • Additional uses are still gained when passing the turn without using Feline Leap at all
• Innate : Each tarot card gives 7 Lucky day to Ecaflip (this is an addition to the innate 20 Lucky day at end of turn)

Passives

Weighted Dice becomes Fleassive (forgive my terrible english skills, a proper translator will find a great pun in due time)

• Removed former effects
• Direct heals are halved
• Each direct heal performed is also stored on the target
  • At the end of turn, fleas heal the target THEN are applied to the closest ally (3 cells away max)
    • At the end of turn of the closest ally, they are also healed and then fleas are applied to... etc.
• Fleas are unapplied at the start of Ecaflip's next turn

Misfortune

• If the Misfortune card is in hand, at end of turn:
  • 300% of the level in Lock on Ecaflip (1 turn)

Lucky Tarot

• Removed former effects
• Each tarot card improves Lucky Day and Critical hits : the value is determined by the numerical value of the card
  • This replaces the new innate effect (7 Lucky day per card played)

New - Card luck

• At the end of turn :
  • Per black card in hand : -15 Lucky day
  • Per white card in hand : 15 Lucky day

New - Feline impact

• At end of turn, if an enemy is in contact :
  • +2 Feline Leap uses
• Feline Leap doesn't increase for each turn passed without using the spell

New - Lucky Seven

• When 6 cards have been cast without Lucky Day :
  • 100 Lucky Day
  • The draw pile is emptied

New - The Universe

• Lucky Day gains are halved
• Unlocks The Universe (card) when Ecaflip reaches exactly 42 Lucky Day
• The Universe isn't in the draw pile
• Steals the following characteristics from the target :
  • -4 Range (1 turn)
  • -3 MP (FoW-dependent)
  • -2 AP (FoW-dependent)
  • -1 WP (Straight loss)
• If the card isn't played, at the end of turn :
  • Converts Lucky Day in % max HP in Armor
  • The card is lost

Please let us know what you think, we hope these changes will be satisfying for you.

You're sure to make waves with one of these, not to mention it'll shield you from rainy weather. Please welcome the 6 new Class Umbrella emotes with thunderous applause!

Sacriers, Foggernauts, Rogues, Sadidas, Cras, and Osamodas: Prepare to be showered with compliments!

TAKE THE PLUNGE!

These emotes will be available at a special price until 4 p.m. (Paris time) on Thursday, October 5. After that, they will be sold at their regular prices.

Hello,

We would like to provide an honest answer to your feedback on Rogue.

While we are satisfied with some of the class concepts, we acknowledge that part of the community is not in line with our vision. We think it may be necessary to improve these concepts before the release.

Bomb duration
We appreciate the fact that bombs explode the next turn. It is dynamic and a good answer to the "gardener" mode, the mode where you just summon bombs somewhere and don’t interact with the fight for 4-5 turns. However, the current duration forces a cyclical gameplay : Turn 1 summon, Turn 2 explode, Turn 3 summon…

Bomb level
Costly bombs are already at an advantage because of their bigger HP pool and the fact that they occupy less space on the field. One level 8 bomb is simpler to manage than four level 2 bombs.
In addition, the bomb level doubles when it is evolved, which means an even greater difference is created.
The level 2 bomb will become a level 4 bomb, while the level 8 bomb will become a level 16 bomb

Bomb interactivity and fun
Bombs are a unique, identitary mechanic of the Rouge. However, the feedback seems to address a lack of flavour and fun.

Bomber mode
Well it seems like it’s not that great.

Escapist and Sneaky
We force players to switch between modes, which isn't that great also.

---

So after giving it a lot of thought, here’s what we’d like to do on a macro level :

Bombs

• The spell and state Bomber don’t exist anymore (you can’t summon bombs or replicate your spells in a cross anymore).
• A new resource, Powder, allows you to summon bombs
  • Single-target spells summon a bomb when cast on a free cell AND you have enough Powder
  • The level of the bomb and the amount of Powder spent depends on the spell’s cost
  • If there isn’t enough Powder : the level of the bomb equals the amount of Powder left. The spell’s effects are still triggered.
• When summoning a bomb, the bomb is summoned and THEN the spell’s effects are processed.
• A variety of spells now have "when cast on a bomb" effects : in that case, the bomb is summoned, then the spell triggers its "when cast on a bomb" effect. Everything is instantaneous.
• Bombs don’t evolve and explode after 2 turns.
  • Instead, they gain levels.
  • When reaching the max level, they explode automatically at the end of turn.
• Bomber is replaced by Detonation

Powder

• Powder determines if a bomb can be summoned
• Rogue gains X Powder at start of turn
• Rogue cannot have more than Y Powder

Escapist and Sneaky

• Ammo and Blades are removed
• The two modes still carry their current uses :
  • Sneaky : Spells are cast in contact. Rogue gains 1 AP back after casting an elemental spell.
  • Escapist : Spells are cast at a distance. They deal additional damage.
  • These don’t need resources to function anymore. Ruse doesn’t change.
• Fusillade becomes an innate (3rd bar) spell : it allows you to consume Powder to get bonuses for Sneaky and Escapist

 

---

Next, a few changes on elemental spells :

Sticky bomb

• 2 AP 1 WP, 3 to 4 Range
• Puts a sticky bomb on the target
• If the target dies or 3 turns come to pass :
  • Fire damage (circle size 2)
  • An explosion also triggers the sticky bomb
• When cast on a bomb :
  • Stabilizes the bomb
  • The bombs explodes when suffering damage
• 1/turn

Machine gun

• 3 AP, 3 to 4 Range in line
• Earth damage
• Caster : Mowes away 2 cells
• When cast on a bomb :
  • The bomb is teleported 2 cells away
  • Exchanges position if the cell is not free
• 3/turn

Blunderbuss

• 4 AP, 3 to 4 Range in line
• Earth damage
• Push back 2 cells
• When cast on a bomb :
  • The spell’s area of effect becomes a cross size 1
• 3/turn, 2/target

Encumbering Shot

• 5 AP, 3 to 5 Range in line
• Earth damage
• -4 MP
• When cast on a bomb :
  • The spell’s area of effect becomes a vertical line size 3
• 1/turn

Boomerang Dagger

• 4 AP, 3 to 5 Range in line without line of sight
• Sneaky :
  • ST Earth damage
  • Applies a state on the target
• Escapist :
  • Earth damage in a boomerang AOE
  • Triggers the states everywhere on the map :
    • Additional Earth damage in cross size 1 on state bearers
• 2/turn

Cheating

• 3 AP, 3 to 4 Range non modifiable
• Air damage
• Lifesteal
• When cast on a bomb :
  • Exchanges position with the bomb
• 2/turn

Longsword

• 4 AP, 3 to 4 Range
• Air damage
• Sneaky :
  • Applies a state
  • If Rogue ends their turn more than X cells away from the state bearer : X additional Air damage
• 2/target

We sincerely hope you'll find these changes amazing and we eagerly await your feedback on our new proposals.

See you soon,

Siu.

[i]"While this is awesome to better allow players to explore, you do realize that the major fall off points for most new players is the Lv 30-50 mark where the Nations Quest starts and ends?"[/i] It isn't. We stated so in the devblog : you don't have data like we do. The state of the tutorial was alarming. Plus guides are a very good feature that will help both newcomers and seasoned players in the long run. Reworking early game areas is definitely in our plans though ! Maybe sometime in the future ? Siu.

Hello,

I planned some more tweaks on Ecaflip following your feedback :

• Innate state
  • At end of turn :
  • WP regen : 1 -> 2 (actually removed)
  • Lucky Day : 15 -> 20
• Roll Again
  • 1/turn
• Three cards
  • Removed the three effects (1/card)
  • Ecaflip gains 30 resistance per target hit (1/target/turn) (1 turn)
• Fleeflee
  • Doesn't cost 1 WP anymore (lowered damage and heal)
• Yowling
  • Doesn't hit the Ecaflip anymore
  • Can be cast at 0 range

Lastly, I'll focus on passives to polish them before the release.

Thank you very much for your feedback.

Siu.

Who hasn't wished they could fly? Farfetched as it sounds, some say that thinking happy thoughts will launch you into the sky… That method has yet to be proven – unlike the Fairy Levitation emote, which really will make you lift off the ground! (Only a few inches, but that's better than nothing, right?) The emote is included in the Fairy Pack, which contains:

• A Fairy Costume
• A Navigator Fairy pet skin (linked to account)
• The Fairy Levitation emote (linked to account)

Available in the shop until Thursday, September 28!

Blown away?

  • To close it, you must wait 2 seconds after it is displayed, and be on the last page of the guide (if the guide has several pages);
  • Esc takes you to the next page ;
  • The interface can now use interface themes
• The default chat size has been increased slightly to accommodate the new channels.
• Right-clicking on a character's username to whom you have sent a message now correctly opens the pop-up menu.
• During an exchange, double-clicking to remove a stack of items that has already been partially removed no longer causes visual disappearances.
• Chat error messages have been improved.
• In the off-table enchantment interface, adding and then removing an enchantment on a socket no longer generates error messages and no longer prevents subsequent modifications.
• Sending a message in certain masked channels sends the message correctly instead of causing an error.
• Trying to open an already existing private chat opens it instead of writing an error message.
• Opening a private chat now takes priority over the active window.
• When a chat message ends with an item, the item no longer makes all the empty space following it clickable.
• The recipe counter is now correctly updated when other players craft items via secure crafting.
• Linking an item in the chat doesn't delete the last character

 

5. Miscellaneous

• The configuration of shortcuts is no longer overwritten with each update.
• A teleportation error that could cause loading to freeze has been corrected.
• The dust and paving stones' proportions in Astrub have been adjusted.
• Removed the initiative from all equipable items except pets.
• Reworked 186+ items : this relates to items having distance mastery, and items having melee mastery (previously melee/ST or melee/AOE).

 

6. Chat

Discussion channels are improved.

Community
A global Community channel (for recruitment or trade) has been added. It has the same rules as the other two global channels; it is unlocked at level 51, and there is a wait time to send another message.
There are four Community channels: FR Community, EN Community, ES Community, and PT Community.
To chat in one of these channels, you have to use the following shortcuts

• /c → used to chat in the channel of the player's main community (associated with the account)
• /cfr → used to chat in the FR community channel; requires the FR community to be visible and tagged (see Choosing a community)
• and so on.

Recruitment
There are four Recruitment channels (instead of just one): FR Recruitment, EN Recruitment, ES Recruitment, and PT Recruitment.
To chat in Recruitment, use the following shortcuts:

• /r → used to chat in the channel of the player's main community (associated with the account)
• /rfr → used to chat in the FR recruitment channel; requires the FR community to be visible and tagged (see Choosing a community)
• and so on.

Choosing a community
By default, every user has a community associated with their account, which they can't modify. Users can also choose one or more alternate languages; doing so will grant access to the corresponding Community and Recruitment channels. Please note: Not using the language spoken in a community or recruitment channel may result in a sanction.


Displaying communities
Another setting has been added. The tag [FR], [EN], [ES], or [PT] can now be displayed next to a player's nickname in the following cases :

• In the chat ;
• By pressing V ;
• In your friends list ; (Not for this beta)
• In your guild ; (Not for this beta)
• Hovering over in the marketplace (Not for this beta)

It will be possible to hide them completely, display only the player's default language, or display all the languages selected by the player.

Hi -Lekismon-#9818,

Can you please retry and let us know here if the problem still persists? Thank you!

Hello,

Thank you very much for your feedback.

After a lot of analysis of the results, we can confirm that the current characteristics of the items are as we intended in almost all cases. We did find a handful of items that had design flaws prior to the migration, but nothing major.

As an answer to your comments, we'd like to go into more detail on a number of points.

1) The case of dual-mastery items.

• Previously, a rule existed for certain mastery combos.
• The weight of these masteries was reduced by 33%. However, the maximum mastery reachable did not change.
• Only these mastery duos were affected:
  • Melee - single target
  • Melee - area of effect
  • Distance - single target
  • Distance - area of effect
• When we removed single target and area of effect, we realized that it would be a shame to lose this concept of dual specialization. That's why we've decided to make it a general rule: as soon as a secondary mastery (melee, distance, critical, rear, berserk or healing) is on an item, then the other secondary masteries cost around 20% less.
• This new rule may lead to some confusion. Certain melee/rear items, previously marginal, become much more interesting in the current state of the Beta.

 2) The case of distance mastery.

• A rule existed on distance, healing and critical mastery on 186+ items. This rule made these masteries more heavy. The goal was to limit the impact of distance characters (for example) through equipment.
• During the migration to remove single target and area of effect masteries, we decided to remove this rule and put, just like on the previous 185 levels, the same weight for both melee and distance masteries.
• On the other hand, the items had not been created with the same approach. When we design an item, we try to make sure it's consistent and usable: few distance items reach their maximum Lock for example. We were always aiming for the maximum reachable mastery at the cost of defensive options.

 3) Melee items that result from melee/single target or melee/area of effect

• As you may have noticed, some of these items have had a 20% reduction in mastery. In reality, such items become normal items... But just like with distance mastery, these items had been designed differently by the Game Designers. When creating a melee/single target item, we had to be very careful, otherwise we could quickly end up with gamebreaking characteristics.
• Since the conversion is completely fair and impartial, it has kept the cautious spirit we had when designing these items. This can result in much less powerful items. We would have designed these items differently (with fewer HP, for example) if we had wanted to use only melee mastery.

4) The case of Elemental mastery

• The case of converting single target or area of effect masteries into random masteries in 3 elements is problematic for several reasons.
• Elemental masteries have a deliberately lower maximum than secondary masteries.
• What if melee mastery has a weight of 300 and mastery in 2 elements has a weight of 278 ? If an item has a maximum of 100 Melee Mastery at a given level, then that same item can reach a maximum of around 70 Elemental Mastery.
• One option would have been to make the maximum mastery proportional to its weight: our item would then have had 100 * 278 / 300 = 93 maximum mastery in 2 elements. However, the tool doesn't work like that, and instead defines an arbitrary maximum for Elemental masteries (depending on rarity, type and level). As a result, an item with only critical mastery (more expensive) could reach the same maximum as an item with only melee mastery, but the weight allocated to masteries would be different, resulting in less weight allocated to defensive characteristics on the item with critical mastery.
• This aspect is crucial to the consistency of the item design, as it prevents an item with only elemental mastery from competing with one with secondary mastery (with a few exceptions).
• The massive conversion of single target and area of effect mastery to elemental mastery gave birth to items that bypass this threshold.
• The only way to keep the rule would have been to change the identity and spirit of certain items, which we didn't want to do. But as a result, some items have more elemental mastery than they're supposed to.

5) The case of resistances

• Many of you have posted screenshots of certain items. It is true that some items have very noticeable differences even though they're the same level, type and rarity. All the items in the game were created with a specific rule on resistances. Let's take the example of the Elemental resistance (in the 4 elements) and say it's worth 1000, i.e. a value of 250 per resistance point.
  • In our case, if I have one point of "elemental resistance" (in all elements), I'll have 1 point of fire resistance at 250, 1 point of earth resistance at 250, etc., up to a total of 1000;
  • If there are 3 resistances in the item, the resistance is 833, or. 278 per point;
  • If there are 2 resistances in the item, the resistance is 694, or 347 per point;
  • If there is 1 resistance in the item, then the resistance is 417, or 417 per point.
• In other words, the more specialized resistances an item offers, the lower the amount of actual resistance. The purpose of this rule was to limit the potential for exploits by having a very high amount of a single resistance.
• Since the enchantment and limitations on the maximum resistance attainable in combat (90% limit per item) were introduced, this rule is no longer interesting.
• As a result, it only causes a feeling of unfairness, as items with resistance in 4 elements are mathematically better.
• For the record, we try to have as many item types as possible in each tier. Let's take all the rear mastery items in a level bracket. For every rear mastery item that has resistance in 4 elements, there is usually another rear mastery item that has resistance in 3 elements and another that has resistance in 2 elements.

---

As we mentioned in the devblog and in some livestreams, the tool we use to create items is very complicated and it's not easy to go right by the players. Nevertheless, we tried to do an impartial and fair conversion. Alas, many players have found that certain items have strayed from their original spirit.We plan to implement the following changes:

• Distance items
  • We're going to rework by hand items of level 186 or higher with distance mastery.
  • The goal is, in extreme cases, to grant them more HP, dodge and resistance, at the expense of their mastery, in order to bring them closer to what is offered by equipment pieces designed naturally by GDs.
• Melee items resulting from melee/single target or melee/area of effect combos
  • We're going to rework by hand melee items of level 186 and above, which have melee mastery, formerly melee/single target or melee/area of effect mastery.
  • The goal is, for extreme cases, to grant them more melee mastery at the expense of their HP, dodge, lock and resistance, to bring them closer to what is offered by equipment pieces designed naturally by GDs.
• Elemental mastery
  • We're going to look at the problematic items in each bracket and rework them, once again, by hand. To do this, we'll take a look at the item that gives the most mastery cumulated for each level and type of item.
  • Then we'll look at the items with only elemental mastery of that level and type, and rework the problematic items, the ones that stand out too much.
• Resistances
  • We'll be introducing a new formula for resistances: an item with resistances in 1, 2 or 3 elements will no longer be at a disadvantage compared to an item with resistances in all 4 elements.
  • This means that all items with resistances in 1, 2 or 3 elements will have their resistances increased.
• Initiative
  • This topic probably comes out of nowhere for you, but we want to remove initiative from items. We think it will be easier for players to find groups and manage their compositions if their equipment doesn't include initiative.
  • Initiative will still be available from the following sources:
    • Skills ;
    • Enchantment ;
    • Consumables ;
    • Pets.
  • Removing the initiative will result in an increase in Lock and Dodge on all affected items.
    • If the item already has Lock and Dodge, the Initiative characteristic is divided between the 2;
    • If the item already has either Lock or Dodge, the Initiative characteristic is added to the specified characteristic;
    • If the item only has Initiative, the Initiative is divided into 2 and added to new Lock/Dodge characteristics.

Once again, please focus on the positive aspects of this update. Many items will change, that's true. We understand your past investment in the game, we understand the value your items carry. We've tried to respect your investment to the best of our ability.

Alas, in order to make stability changes to the game, we sometimes can't make modifications without having some more negative impacts.

However, as we've explained, this is a necessary project for the future of the game. Once this work has been completed, equipment will be designed on a much sounder and fairer basis for everyone:

• We're removing special cases such as berserk mastery which became more expensive with each passing level, or distance mastery, which cost 30% more after a certain level;
• We're extending the specialization advantage ("double mastery") to all mastery combos;
• We're giving bi- and tri-elemental resistances a fair proportional weight, the same as the resistances in all elements characteristic
• We're opening up the possibility for all characters to play all their spells, as restricting oneself to single target or area of effect spells no longer means you'll experience a drastic increase in the amount of mastery.

We wish to emphasize that last point. Our primary aim is to extend the choice and variety of decks. Variety will be all the more present as new possibilities open up to players on the spells side.

To conclude, we have a few final comments to make:

• We are aware that some items with elemental mastery have been significantly increased. However, there's nothing we can do about it - it's a consequence of our global change and we're fine with it. We will only rework problematic items.
• We will not rework items below level 186. Once again, this is by design. We will be taking special care of equipment above level 186, as the specific rules surrounding these items lead to more significant changes. Below this level, we'll be concentrating only on certain problematic items.
• We will also be taking a look at epic and relic items in order to readjust some of them, but we have no further information to share on this subject at the moment.

Please let us know what you think.

Once again, thank you for your feedback, and happy beta!

Siu

Hello Hoaqin#2354,

If you're stuck on an infinite loading screen, it's usually because the server is protecting your character and data. This can take around 3 to 30 minutes, or up to 3 hours in rare cases, before you can access your character again. If it's been more than 3 hours, please contact Ankama Support.

For more info, kindly check here.

• All In is also going to change, but so far we haven't decided on a concept

Thank you very much and please enjoy the Beta.

Siu.

I would argue that Purses are still around for now. But indeed, we want to remove the "I need to play Enutrof to loot more" kind of gameplay.

Like prospection and wisdom on items or pets, it makes little sense to us.

At some point Enutrof will indeed have a revamp, for now we don't want to let the prospecting bonus on the class, we think it's detrimental to the game, we don't need to wait for a rework to treat it.

"Seriously, I don't think that teams of 1 damager and 5 Enutrofs are that common as to apply such a harsh change. Right?"

You'd be surprised.

ACCESS THE BETA

To access the beta from the Ankama Launcher: Once the WAKFU page is open, open the dropdown menu above the PLAY button to show both versions of the game including the beta.

Please note: The beta server is not always available. It is only available when the WAKFU team needs to perform tests. When a beta version is available, a message is posted on the official website. It is generally accompanied by update notes (also known as a changelog) published here.

As always, we can't wait to hear your feedback on the forum and official Discord.

 

[u][i]"The post didn't mention whether or not Enchantment masteries would follow the same value changes as gear, except that Berserk and Healing masteries would be lowered to match the others (this does cause a 25% reduction in those masteries from Enchantment)."[/i][/u] Indeed, Berserk and Healing masteries will be the only masteries which are lowered in the enchantment process. Keep in mind the Berserk mastery should, in fact, be buffed on the items that are level >= 185, and the Healing Mastery will be tremendously buffed on lvl >= 200 items. Elemental masteries will also be buffed along the way, on every item. Time for some reassuring examples ! Take the Frightful Belt (230 leg) for example :[list][*]Before change :[list][*]200 AOE mastery[*]200 Berserk mastery[/list][*]After change :[list][*]478 Berserk mastery[/list][/list]And another one, Rushu Amulet (230 leg) :[list][*]Before change :[list][*]170 mastery of 2 random elements[*]350 Berserk mastery[/list][*]After change :[list][*]207 mastery of 2 random elements[*]417 Berserk mastery[/list][/list] It's all very complicated and confusing, I do regret we can't show you more explicit cases and details, but there are indeed thousands of items. It might be best to wait until the Beta opens (tomorrow !) to check things out. [u][i]"This leaves a possible interpretation that losing up to 30% of our total mastery would be considered acceptable by the devs."[/i][/u] Of course this wouldn't be acceptable and this won't be the case. We actually analyzed that it could be the case in a first draft, and proceeded to implement further changes to the formula to protect player builds better. Our goal was to bring a new balance and things a lot of things. A lot of unstability was piling up in the game's formulaes for many years, it wasn't very simple to solve without giving you an actual 100 pages book about all our conversations and analyzes, not even mentioning we kept PVP in mind so not to find ourselves with a horrendous meta after the update. But we're confident you'll still be able to run the same Stasis levels are before, and if that's not the case we'll gladly change the stasis curve or mob HP a bit. Have an excellent day as well, Siu.

Hello there,

We're not able to repro your issue.

Have you been using Distorsion before using your spells, by any chance ?

Siu.

Hello River-Song, You're right, it's fair to say that, and I didn't try to take this opinion away from the author. However, saying 90% of players play exactly 100% Melee/ST or Melee/AOE is wrong. It's a complete exaggeration and I'm just pointing that out. Melee/ST is the most nerfed "dual mastery" combo with melee/AOE. Only these will actually be nerfed to [u]up to[/u] 20% maximum stat loss. I'm pretty sure the rest is either marginally nerfed or buffed. It takes a few items with elemental or crit mastery on your build to reduce that nerf. If you had one ST/crit or one ST/melee item for example, since these are buffed it would probably reduce the nerf a lot. Also, other builds will still not be stronger than yours. That's why we're pretty confident with how the vast majority will be impacted by this move. And the game's [b]overall [/b]population is far from being optimized to the extent you're speaking of. The dual mastery is very complicated to deal with. These items amount to a few hundreds, so to us, it's an edge case. Solving this edge case by guaranteeing a "no mastery loss" rule would have destroyed another part of the game. There was a lot of unbalance already in the game, I think we actually fixed a lot of that unbalance with our work here. Let me quote the devblog again : [i]"We're aware that this kind of change can lead to a sense of unfairness. But keep in mind that the rate of increase is [b]separate from the average.[/b] An item granting a high number of masteries will still grant a high number after the update. The project was designed and the values determined to make things as fair as possible."[/i] It's all about relativity, I guess. I hope my point will come across more clearly in the beta version. Anyway, thank you for posting. Have a good day, Siu.

[u][i]"There should not be any reduction in the first place of any kind enchants, abilities, sublims cause you are just taking out st/aoe mastery"[/i][/u] 100% agree [u][i]"and trying to push like is cool "it's only mastery obtanied through equipments" makes it worse being treated like that."[/i][/u] I didn't say that. I merely answered the author who was simply saying they would lose around 30% of their total damage. I was actually just speaking facts. What I meant to say is : I'm very positive that the global strength of characters will stay consistent / on par with what it was before. And just adding masteries like you suggested was a bad move for the future of the game. It was a lot more complicated than that because of some small rules in the item design tool. [i]"why suddenly [u]everyone will be forced to a nerf?[/u]"[/i] Not everyone will be forced to a nerf though ? Siu.

As stated in the devblog, it's unfortunately not that simple. It's a very tricky situation. Siu.

Hello, I can understand your point to some extent, but I want to say that it's kind of hard to take you seriously. We did come clean and gave numbers and stats, and it's a fact that "90% of the current builds" will NOT be nerfed. Siu.

Hello, [i]"From what I understand, the mastery on most optimized builds will be lowered by up to 30% " "In higher stasis, this "acceptable" 30% decrease in total mastery (which translates to a 30% decrease in our damage/heals) is going to sting quite a bit."[/i] First of all, I'm not sure where you took your values from. Here's the final curve for changes.[img]https://static.ankama.com/upload/backoffice/direct/2023-08-07/7f92a51915fe197f591e60f3b1724b9e.png[/img] As you can see :[list][*]A vast majority of the items experience a buff (6300 out of 8220)[*]Around 400 items have no change[*]Then there's a nerf from 1 to 20% on about 800 items[*]Around 300 items have a 20% nerf[*]Then the last ~400 items have a bigger nerf, but some of them are really exotic or very old items.[/list] As a result, yes, if you had an "ONLY Melee/ST" build, you may experience a reduction of your characteristics. I'm really not confident you will experience a 30% total reduction of your mastery. Keep in mind it's only the mastery obtained through equipments, not the enchantment, not the abilities, not the sublimations. Also, if you had any elemental mastery on your items, they will be buffed in elemental so that will compensate part of the nerf on Melee/ST items. I'll be willing to discuss the specific, detailed changes after the beta hits, but I want to be more positive on the overall outcome of the change. Have a good day, Siu.

We conducted two surveys on the enchantment system, and two more on broader questions such as gearing and loot in general. We're very satisfied with what it achieved and we're not planning to change it.

Hello, Alas, no such thing is planned for the next Beta. We won't update the character informations on Beta anymore. Siu.

The Final

We had the goal of removing single-target and area masteries, and so we got started on that project. During the concept phase, we realized we didn't like the rules governing how masteries were assigned to items. That's one of the reasons we decided to significantly alter items and masteries; now we'll describe the progress we've made on this project, plus offer specific elements that you'll see when Update 1.81 comes out.

Removal of Single-Target and Area Masteries

We've posted a devblog on our perception of this revamp, its potential benefit for players, and the avenues we can utilize. Let's go back to the following points:

"When we design items, characteristics have a weight. Currently, we've established a rule for all items that's intended to strengthen dual specializations. For example, a melee-only item will have 100 melee mastery, while a melee + single-target item will have 75 melee mastery and 75 single-target mastery for the same weight.

[…]

The first point to bear in mind here is that we're committed to updating the formula and the abilities of all items in the game in a way that ensures that no one's total mastery will decrease. So that means rebalancing all items in the game on the same basis (via increases, in most cases).

1. If you had a '100% melee' build, you would see a large increase in your total mastery.
2. If you had an 'X% melee + Y% single-target' build, your masteries would stay the same, but you'd now be able to play area-of-effect spells (like Celestial Sword).

[…]

This will also be a fairly long-term project, even if the solution we've presented here looks like one that can be partially automated. We'd like to implement it with the release of the single-account server if the community reacts positively to our proposal. That's why we've prepared a new, very brief survey to better understand your feelings in response to this proposal."

Devblog: Single-Target and Area Masteries

The results of the survey were very positive. The community was receptive to our idea that single-target and area masteries be redistributed to the item's other masteries. Having explored a number of possibilities, the team also liked this option best. So this is the option we settled on.

Regarding the items to be modified, it has always been crucial to us that they maintain their role and identity. Beyond the massive amount of time a project like this would have required, the fact that certain items could dramatically change might have harmed players with past investments. We therefore decided not to change the identity of items, and so they'll have the same function as before.

For the sake of transparency, we're going to show part of the system used to create items in WAKFU. The values are non-binding and the full context is not given.

The Item Creation System

All items that grant masteries to equipment follow strict rules to ensure consistency. They specify a weight and a maximum associated with each characteristic. These values may vary, depending on certain factors. Each characteristic is related to one of the four fundamental types:

• OFFENSIVE: various masteries, % Critical Hit, and % Armor given
• DEFENSIVE: various resistances, HP, block, and % Armor received
• ANCILLARY: lock, dodge, and initiative
• MAJOR: AP, MP, WP, Range, and Control

Each type also has a maximum weight designed to regulate the item's power and allow for a greater amount of interesting, viable equipment items. Thus, each characteristic granted by the item increases the total of its type by its weight. To further boost the variety of possible items, the item has a maximum weight that must not be exceeded and that is below the sum of the fundamental types' maximums.

Additional Rules

Let's add a key element to the concept: to encourage specialization, we decided to reduce the weight of masteries when an item acquires more than one. To explain our thinking in relative terms, masteries' starting weight is equal to 300, and it goes down to 200 when this condition is met. This rule applies to melee, distance, single-target and area masteries. Therefore, if an item initially grants X melee mastery with a weight of Y, it could also grant X*300/200 = 1.5*X melee and single-target/area masteries, also with a weight of Y.

Meanwhile, the weight of critical, rear, healing, and berserk masteries works differently. Their weight depends on the item's level; it ranges from 133 for a level 5 item to 300 for a level 230 item, i.e. 1.88 times greater. A berserk mastery point is worth two times less than a melee mastery point at level 5, and is worth as much at level 230.

We therefore established rules whereby the revamp would operate on items that granted single-target or area mastery:

• If an item also granted another mastery, then the amount of single-target or area mastery would be converted at an equivalent weight and added to the latter (secondary masteries first).
• If an item didn't grant any other masteries, then the full amount of single-target or area mastery would be converted at an equivalent weight into mastery in 3 elements (you'll choose which ones when the update is released).
• All mounts now have 40 Elemental Mastery.
• Pets have been updated on a case-by-case basis.

Once the revamp was complete, it gave us the following evolution curve for masteries:

Other changes had to be made to certain game elements. These include updates to sublimations such as Brutality and Brazier, changes to class passives such as the Sram's Ambush and the Eniripsa's Mass Aid, and redesigned gameplay elements for bosses such as Drainacask, Rushu's vestiges, and Badgwitch the Furiox. We did everything we could to avoid impacting any particular play style. At any rate, you can see the full list of these in the changelog for Update 1.81.

More Extensive Changes

Once the initial work was done, we were still unhappy with certain changes. In particular, we thought the initial promise wouldn't have been kept if potential users of an item were to lose over 30% of total mastery with this revamp. Confirming this dissatisfaction, the evolution curve for weights of critical, rear, healing, and berserk masteries seemed superfluous and outdated. If we're to work hard going over 2,200 items, we might as well use the opportunity to start from a more solid foundation for the future of items by going over all the standards for mastery weights.

After thinking a lot about the issues of base weight, the impact we wanted specialization to have on weight, and the best way to keep our initial promise that players wouldn't lose mastery, we came to a few conclusions:

• Within the current paradigm, it is impossible to guarantee that no mastery will be lost. The only alternative would have been to apply a major overall improvement, and adjust player and monster HP accordingly – but this wouldn't have changed anything, as the relationship between the two would have stayed the same. The idea would therefore be to make it so players lose as little mastery as possible due to the update.
• We want to reduce the mastery gain from dual specialization.
• All mastery weights should have the same evolution and no longer be based on the item's level at all.
• We must reduce the difference between mastery weights as much as we can in order to increase the variety of items that can be used optimally.

We also decided to slightly lower the "base" weight of masteries; in this case we brought the baseline weight from 300 to 250, but we kept the reduction to 200 when an item has more than one mastery. Let's look at Cire Momore's Headgear as an example:

Single-target mastery cannot be converted into negative critical mastery, and we very much don't want this item to remain the same after the revamp. We're therefore acting as if the item only had single-target mastery, and applying a multiplier to negative critical mastery. Thus, single-target mastery will be 480*300/333 = 432 when single-target mastery is removed, then 432*333/283 = 508 Mastery in 3 elements when weights are updated. With the same approach applied to critical mastery, it has to be changed to -100*400/283 = -141.

This change produced the following curve, this time accounting for all items:

Most of them will see their masteries slightly increased, owing to the reduction in base weight. For some this will be a more significant increase, as distance and critical masteries had a base weight of 400 in some cases. Finally, note the more or less significant decrease for about 20% of items, explained by two key facts.

Reminder: We want to standardize the weights of all masteries; in the case of critical, rear, healing, and berserk masteries, they had a very low weight in the lowest level brackets. Rebalancing these weights on a constant leads to a decrease in total masteries.

In the case of items that had multiple masteries at once and, to that end, enjoyed a weight reduction: If they had X Single-Target Mastery and Y Melee Mastery, for example, it would give (X+Y)*200/300*300/250 = (X+Y)*4/5, which is always less than X+Y. Let's look at Ghast's Belt as an example:

The item is dual-specialized, granting both 275 Melee Mastery and 275 Single-Target Mastery, i.e. a total of 550 Mastery. When single-target mastery is removed, it will be 275*2*200/300 = 367 Melee Mastery; and when weights are updated, it will amount to 367*300/250 = 440 Melee Mastery.

We're aware that this kind of change can lead to a sense of unfairness. But keep in mind that the rate of increase is separate from the average. An item granting a high number of masteries will still grant a high number after the update. The project was designed and the values determined to make things as fair as possible.

At the same time, we seized the opportunity to make it so berserk and healing masteries would follow the same curve in enchantment bonuses as the other masteries. This change is important to us, and we'd been wanting to implement it for some time. We think that combining it with the removal of single-target and area masteries is a positive change. In addition, out of all our changes, we removed the gain in single-target and area masteries from abilities and unlocked the maximum applied to melee and distance masteries at 40. We still want to see abilities evolve in the future, but for now we want to focus on this evolution of masteries.

Since our early announcements about single-target and area masteries, we have read so many discussions and debates on this topic. A lot of players have made compelling arguments, and we understand this is a sensitive subject. We'd like to thank you for participating on Discord and the forums, as this has been a useful source of reflection for us. We did our best to trim things fairly and equitably, but we know that this represents a big shift in your play habits. We hope that the change will accomplish its initial goal: to make the game more accessible and more fun.

FAQ

1) Why has this change had such a severe impact on berserk mastery?

The results of the survey from the last devblog show that a majority of the community considers this mastery unfair and overpowered compared to other masteries. We therefore decided to make sure it would be of equal power.

2) What's happening to sublimations like Brutality and Brazier?

All will be detailed in the changelog for Update 1.81.

3) What will happen to sockets containing single-target or area masteries?

Once again, you'll have to read the Update 1.81 changelog for details on the changes.

4) How will my set be affected?

Here is a sample of items and how their levels and specializations will change due to the update; note that you'll be able to choose the equipment's element when the update comes out:

3.6. Rouges

We decided to revamp Rouges for a number of reasons. Conceptually speaking, the class has multiple strong identities that are all very different and fairly incompatible: bombs, daggers, and guns. It lacks coherence and consistency. In terms of balancing, bombs are very niche but overpowered; either the Rogue is a match for the content and therefore better than other classes, or they aren't and then suffer in relation to other classes. Also, it was very difficult, if not impossible, to effectively combine the class's various aspects, since their orientations are all very different, which made bomb-related gameplay very passive.

The class has therefore been fully revamped. We decided to focus on its gunslinging and dagger-wielding dimensions. Its elemental spells are no longer split into the "Pistol" and "Dagger" themes. Rogues have two modes: Runaway and Sneaky. By going between the two, a Rouge can utilize all their spells in one of two ways: with their guns from a distance, or using their daggers in close combat. They are encouraged to regularly switch between states to stack Ammo or Blades, boosting each of these modes. The bomb system, meanwhile, is now more organic and naturally interacts with all the Rogue's other mechanics; in Bomber form, the Rogue will transform any of their elemental spells into a bomb. This way they can place bombs of varying power on free cells, or instead throw them directly at enemies. Moreover, their bombs reach peak power much faster; this is intended to make gameplay more dynamic.

General Mechanics

• Rogues have two modes: Runaway and Sneaky.
• Rogues can switch between the modes for free at the end of the turn, or during their turn for a certain price.
• These modes make use of the Rogue's daggers and pistols, respectively.
• Rogues also have a Bomber mode, which lets them use their bombs with any elemental spell.

Wakfu Points

• The Rogue's tactical tools cost WP.
• Rogues regain WP when their bombs go off.
• Rogues regain 1 WP at the end of the turn.

Sneaky

• The Rogue's Distance Mastery is converted into Melee Mastery.
• The Rogue uses their daggers.
  • All their elemental spells can only be cast in melee.
  • As long as they still have blades, all their elemental spells cost 1 AP less.
• The Rogue generates ammo for each spell cast.
• This ammo is used in Runaway mode.

Runaway

• The Rogue's Melee Mastery is converted into Distance Mastery.
• The Rogue uses their pistols.
  • All their elemental spells become ranged only.
  • As long as they have ammo left, all their elemental spells deal 50% extra damage.
• The Rogue generates blades for each spell cast.
• These blades are used in Sneaky mode.

Bombs

• The Rogue can switch to Bomber mode using a third spell bar.
  • This turns all their elemental spells into bombs.
    • They can throw the bombs directly on targets to make them explode in an area of effect.
    • Or they can set them on an empty cell.
• Bombs explode at the end of the second turn on the field.
  • Restores 1 WP on explosion (2 WP at level 2).

Third-Bar Spells

• Bomb
  • 2 AP, 0 Range
  • The Rogue enters Bomber mode.
    • Elemental spells change:
      • When cast on a target, they cost 1 extra WP and apply effects in an area of effect (1-cell cross).
        • If a bomb is in the area, it explodes.
      • Cast on an empty cell, they place a bomb.
    • Recasting the spell on yourself is free and turns off bomb mode.
    • When a bomb is placed:
      • 1 level per AP of the base spell (7 levels max)
      • Has 4% of the Rogue's max HP per level
      • Damage based on the level
      • The bomb explodes when destroyed or at the end of the next turn.
      • On explosion, it does damage in an area of effect (2-cell circle), and the Rogue gains 1 WP.
      • At the start of the Rogue's turn, the bomb evolves: When the bomb explodes, it deals more damage and the Rogue gains 2 WP.
  • 2 uses per turn

 

• Ruse
  • 0 AP, 0 to 7 Range (non-modifiable), no line of sight

• Selecting look #2 for the female Rogue and then selecting male no longer causes the character creation interface to crash.
• The setting "Level of detail" has been removed. It is now permanently set to the highest level. Through various tests, we discovered there was no difference in performance between these levels of detail.
• The setting "Combat quality level" has also been removed as it was no longer in use.
• You can invite another player to join your guild from the friends list, the pop-up menu that appears after right-clicking their name in the chat, or by right-clicking on the character.
• It is now possible to attach a price when listing an item for sale in the marketplace or in your Haven Bag.

2	x1 → x1	x3
3	x1 → x2	x3 → x4
4	x1 → x3	x3 → x5
5 and up	x1 → x4	x3 → x6

[*](not testable) We decided to change the experience and loot bonuses. We noticed that the highest reachable amount of bonus (through the stack of different bonuses) caused a snowball effect, making them way more important than they were supposed to be.
This snowball effect widened the gap between players.
Different experience and loot bonuses are now mixed into a single multiplicator on base values. The affected bonuses are :
• Loot Potion / Experience Potion
• Stasis / Dimensional rift bonuses
• Demonic pacts
[*]The new formula then becomes (simplified) :
With LootBonus = PotionBonus + StasisBonus + PactBonus, we have the following loot rate : LootRate * BoosterPackBonus * (1 + (Prospection / 100)) * LootBonus
In concrete terms, the maximum amount of loot and experience is reduced when stacking too many bonuses. These bonuses stay very important.
• The duration of a character change has been significantly reduced.
• It is possible to drag and drop an item from your inventory into the chat. It will now be displayed in the receiving user's client language.
• Hovering items in the chat is improved. It now works like the marketplace hover. It immediately displays informations, and possesses informations like enchantment, sublimations, and the item level if it's a pet or mount.

This Early Access is the culmination of several years of development, gallons of coffee and tea, and an uncountable number of hairs lost in battle by our devs, constructive discussions with the community, a few steps backward and more steps forward to take things further and step up our ambitions for the game… It is a wonderful project that is on display today, thanks to a devoted production team and a loyal and passionate community. We can never thank you enough for your unflagging support!

We are more than ready and very eager to set sail on this adventure by your side. WAVEN's history will be written with your adventures and will shine thanks to your feats. What comes next depends on you!

Ready to come aboard?

Dungeon Infinite is an international PvM (Player versus Monster) event in the WAKFU MMORPG organized by Kaïdo.

Xelor is feuding with Osamodas, and he needs your help!
He wants you to weaken Osamodas in record time by battling his creatures!

The perfect excuse to rush like never before!
Complete as many dungeons as you can and earn tons of points!

 

Dates and Registration

The event will take place on the Pandora and Rubilax servers from Friday, September 1, 2023, at 9 p.m. (Paris time) through Friday, September 8, 2023, at 9 p.m. (Paris time).

Registration is open until Tuesday, August 29, 2023, at 11 p.m. (Paris time).

Visit the Discord for the event, go to the channel "Registration", and fill out the form. Each group of players registering for the event must select a group leader, who must provide the following information for each character on the team:

• team name
• Ankama account nickname (nickname#1234)
• full Discord username
• character class

 

A Few Rules

For one week, participating teams will have to finish as many dungeons and collect as many points as they can. Each dungeon completed will earn the team a certain number of points (see SCORING CRITERIA in the RULES).

• The event will be held simultaneously on the Pandora and Rubilax servers. Therefore, there will be two distinct leaderboards: one on Pandora and one on Rubilax.
• The dungeons must be completed as a team of 3 characters at level 50 or higher (no account sharing, duplicate classes, or nickname/class changes mid-competition allowed; see RULES).
• Dungeons must be completed at a minimum of Stasis 2, except for the dungeons in level group 9 to 65, which must be completed at Stasis level 3 or higher.
• Any existing consumables in the game may be used.
• Pacts are prohibited.
• To verify a completed dungeon and earn the points, you must provide an unedited in-game screenshot containing the following:
  • The end-of-fight screen (where the drop is shown) must appear in its entirety, or the dungeon cannot be verified. The organizers reserve the right to reject a dungeon if this screen does not appear.
  • The in-game chat is displayed on-screen, with the /time and /whois "nickname" commands. The /whois "nickname" command must be run for all participating accounts.
  • The dungeon leaderboard (press D on your keyboard).

Once all three of these are displayed, take your screenshot (Print Screen key or Win+Shift+S shortcut) and post it in your assigned channel on the event Discord server.

Hello Bluhen,

Do you encounter this issue in other parts of the forum or just for this specific thread? Can you tell us which thread is this?

Hello everyone, In order to address several inquiries, we would like to provide some clarifications regarding the participation guidelines:[list][*]It is allowed to take screenshots of existing in-game pictograms and trim or crop them for use in your participation. However, integrating entire sections of existing maps is not permitted.[*]We kindly ask that you ensure your maps fit within the provided isometric grid. It's okay if your maps are smaller than the grid, but they shouldn't go beyond it.[*]Adding monsters or characters to the submissions is allowed, but we will only consider the elements directly constituting the maps for evaluating these submissions.[/list]

Unbelievably soft and plush. A 3-inch (8-cm) ball of pure love.

Rogues, Osamodas and Eniripsas have joined the collection of Creatures stuffed toys, small enough to bring with you everywhere!
