Hi everyone! For those who aren’t familiar with my articles, I’ll be giving you an insider’s perspective on the major changes in the works for WAKFU. I’ll try to explain our choices, our constraints, the directions we’re taking, etc.
 

Remember, you saw an episode all about him in WAKFU the Series. Of course you remember... you trembled like a little Enutrofette when you saw him steal Evangelyne’s shadow!  Perhaps you’ve even come across him in game, on Forfut. Vampyro hasn’t uttered his last sluurp! (That’s the sound Vampyres make when they suck your blood.)

Much more than an optimization, the spell system is going to undergo a revamp that will spice up your fights and allow you to use some real strategy. By establishing a “deck” principle for active and passive spells, choice will once again be a central element in combat, making it possible to select weapons depending on the opponent!

In 2015, WAKFU will see the release of the Tormentator Knights that you are no doubt familiar with from other formats (DOFUS, manga, Krosmaster, etc.). Whereas these are accessible in DOFUS via the incarnation system, in WAKFU they’ll be available as Sidekicks. The five knights, called Flame, Cloud, Drop, Leaf and Darkness, will be released throughout the year. And the first to show up will be the Flame Knight! Want to find out more about these new arrivals? Then keep reading, as this should answer most of your questions. 

A shadow hangs over the peaks of Kelba. Could this be the Black Crow? Almost... the new threat seems far more sinister and is known as Steel Beak, the bird of misfortune. A figure who loves to pick on poor travelers, and only ever leaves a few traumatized survivors behind. But who is this dreaded… Steel Beak?

Cras have had trouble staying competitive compared to the other classes for some time now. When playing alone, Cras are penalized by the small size of the battlefield and the number of monsters that can easily reach them.
In group play, Cras inflicted less damage in comparison to other classes.

Although the Iop can properly deal damage, it has trouble keeping up in a fight due to its game mechanics and the fact that it only has close-quarter spells. This especially holds true in multi-player mode, where the monsters are often very tough melee fighters. Its movement spells are also somewhat costly. All in all, it isn't easy for an Iop to survive combat that goes on for a longer period of time.

Those who have ventured to Srambad know him as the one leading the chase on the Dimensional Voyagers. But who – or what is this dark being? Want to find out? Well, why not listen to a dishonest citizen of Srambad speaking about the leader of the Malicious Militia?

Despite his musky smell, the new Pandawa is far from being repulsive! Everything has been done to give the class a more enjoyable gameplay, while keeping the basic structure of the class! Ready for a taste?

Ask any game designers, they will tell you that the first few minutes of game-play are critical: that's when the player gets to discover the game, and decide whether it's worth their time or not. That's why we put a lot of care into Incarnam, Astub and the whole new player experience, but what happens before all that?

Starting from the next update, Nations will be able to take one another on in intense NvN combats. Players will now be able to choose to become Guards and defend their Nations, or join the fearsome Riktus rebels whose clan is about to hit the game. Read on to discover all the details of this new feature.

Hello everyone, it's been a while since I did not write a "Letter to the Community." I know some of you were asking for its return and it is now here!

Since the beginning of time, the Gods have influenced the World of Twelve. But it must be said that the faith of their disciple has fallen somewhat since Ogrest gave them a real good bashing from up there on Mount Zinit... So, to compensate for the decline of their divine dimensions, some of them have achieved the impossible: to unite!

Soon you'll be able to discover the Divine Dimensions and enter the heart of the subject! Accompany Pandora in her adventures beyond Astrub, the World of Twelve, and even time. Set foot on unknown lands. Discover Srambad, its murders, its plots, its corruption... and so much more!

Aaah, Saharash... Its wild and abundant nature, its fresh water sources and its friendly people... Do not make that face, Saharash has not always been a dry wasteland and desert like it is today! And for proof, here are some testimonials from former residents or passing adventurers who tells us of a time that whoever less than twenty years old may not know...

A new Sidekick will be arriving in-game with the upcoming March 18th game update: the Protoflex! Discover in this gameplay devblog, his spells, and much more!

The Protoflex is the new Sidekick that you can choose to have by your side starting with the next game update on March 18th... But who or what is this Protoflex? Where does he come from? This great robot of a new era…

You might have just finished Chillberg Island but you do not have the level you rub your shoulders with the Wabbits? Discover what awaits you on Saharash Island, the next new WAKFU adventure island available with the next game update on March 18th!

This devblog is going to give you more details on the Shustufft Crust Dimension which will arrive soon in WAKFU!

It’s been a long time coming for the craft system to have a "small" dusting done so that it becomes a really interesting piece of WAKFU. It has now been quite a while that the GD team planned to tackle it and the task is not easy, as there is much to do, since the current craft system is a pile of  gameplay layers, one on top of another. That is why, instead of trying to rebalance the current craft system and attempt to just fill the cracks, we preferred to break down the walls and rebuild based on new healthy strong foundations (hopefully you are understanding this metaphor). Forget the craft system as it is now: Our revamp will not only make a few changes, but will offer you a totally different concept!

   
The long-awaited revamp of the Feca will arrive with the next update, and today Grou want to share with you the planned changes! Discover later on more details on these modifications to continue to have an early dialogue and ensure that they are as close as possible to your expectations.

In this Devblog 3xited (aka Exi) will explain the experience revamp that will be implemented in WAKFU. Why this revamp? How does it work? What purpose does it serve? Find all the answers here!

A few weeks ago, we revealed the Multiman, and the Sidekick feature to be implemented on December 10 in WAKFU.

These Sidekicks will allow you to play up to three entities in a same time, on a single account. One of these entities will be your main character, while the other ones will be Sidekicks that can be added to your group.

Many questions were asked regarding this feature, and it is now time to shed some light.

Azael comes back with a new Letter to the Community. In this issue, he will talk about the November update, as well as the upcoming one in December.
