I think im in love. i think the dev team has spent alot of HARD work and it is going to pay off! I want to be a pert of this!

That is a huge post!

The new map is pretty awesome "ye olde".

Preview of some new Sacrier spell-icons.

I can't actually see anything different about the inventory, except it has some new squiggles in the borders. I think the main problem that needs to be addressed is how the multiple bags pop-up. I'd suggest opening them all in a single box, with a clear border dividing each "section" (corresponding to each bag).

For professions, it seems like harvesters lost something. At the moment, their craft recipes take over during long breaks between actual harvestable resources. I think instead of taking that away, they could share basic recipes that other professions get. So a farmer and a baker, can turn seed into flour, but only a farmer can harvest the high-level stuff, and only the baker can make high-level bread. I know there's no longer a strict level you have to be in order to craft an item, but I hope we still have some guidelines as to success, ease, etc chances for each recipe.

They've finally got a Marketplace. Hopefully, they'll add to the cost of putting an item up for sale an additional cost to automatically repair the item, so that instead of having to wade through 100s of the same item in different states of repair, we can just pick up whichever is going for the lowest price. And it'd even allow people to ignore the Repair profession for a fee.

Whenever i read a new about wakfu i feel very happy and excited.Thanks guys

This looks absolutely amazing. Of course, with all the new stat-related stuff there'll probably be a server wipe, but it's worth it. The new map is looking stylish, the added characteristics look pretty cool. And, of course there's the new Haven Bag functions.

Now we just have to hope for a fix on the black tile glitch.

This is absolutely amazing but...

Date for this beta test release?

i dont know about all of u i have to say finaly i have not played in a long time.

There is actually no date for the Beta test, neither open nor closed. If there is an announcement, i'll relay the information to you guys!

Awsome updates, can't wait to try the game out.


Whats AC#4?

Ankama Convention number 4 (they've had one once every year, over the last 3 years, the 4th is this month)

Only thing I don't like is theres nothing about osa's.

They've said previously, that a number of classes aren't guaranteed to be in (Sadidas, Enutrofs and Osamosas) until a later date because they have tricky/unique mechanics (doll, capture/summon, prospecting/item use?)

This is excellent!

Although, I must admit, the chat interface (with its different channels), and the Combat/World interface (with its combined, switchable Item/Spell area) do seem like those used in Dofus.

Other than that, a great improvement over both, graphics, as well as the player's control over graphical options.

Good wowk, Dev team! Your fans are pwowd!

Hello there! So, after you read the devblog (actually received it), here are some point wich where added on the french forum by the devs/game tester.

As for the last one, I only left the information wich were really useful. if you have question, feel free to ask!

(P.S. : Sorry if the term I use are not necessarly correct…. ;) And please note that those are not always the same exact word used by the person, mostly the same information.)









Now, maybe you have noticed, maybe not, bu the copyright says 2008…. It was only a mistake it should have been 2009.

If some of you are curious about it, there is a big debate about the guild system (yeah, kindda like if you have set your option to display 40 post in the same page, it has 3 pages already!!! ) to make it harder or not…

Anyway.. that is all I can think of for now! Nice evening and if there is something else I shouldn’t be too far! ;)


Xianz : AC#4 is the Ankama Convention #4 wich is happening in France actually.. kindda like a Japan Expo i’d say but only of Ankama….

Ah the satisfaction... Well here we go:


"As well, tabs have been replaced by a pop-up menu that allows you to enter the name of a player directly to establish a private Chat with them."

This will certainly make things more simple and user-friendly. An odd thing to be excited about but hey, I like a perfectly idiot-proof system that is as streamlined as it could possibly be.


"Essentially, the latter has been promoted and has deserted its old position next to the ‘Report a bug’ button to better integrate the large group of permanent interfaces."

Ah more streamlining. It's the little things that make a good game become great. Yet another minor thing that I am pleased about.


"You’ll also notice that ‘Area Challenges’ have disappeared, taking a well-earned rest while awaiting a complete overhaul. "

lol they were used sparsely by myself while playing the Beta but their potential in the environment stability could be immense.


"Even if the display itself hasn’t changed, you’ll notice two new icons corresponding to two new features: current Climate and the Wakfu of the area."

Now if you mean the climate to refer to the Pollution or the Resource levels then I get it, if not then please explain.


"The new map is no longer the simple overhead view you’re used to. Now it’s taken on a ‘genuine’ feel, and looks almost hand-drawn; as if you’ve sketched it yourself. You’ll still see available resources on it, and the ‘Locations’ and ‘Notes’ filters are still available to use, although they have a new look."

Oh my this one is a doozy. I am really proud of you guys for making this map alteration. It was something that didn't need to be done in the least but just the sheer doing of it shows how great this game is going to be. Bravo.


"There are lots of new things here as well. The Aptitudes and Mastery systems have been completely reorganised and this has led logically to the same thing happening to the characteristic page. For the time being, it’s still incomplete as there’s still some information to be added to it. We’re working hard to find a more ergonomic and better thought-out way of integrating this information. Missing at the moment, amongst other things, are the indispensable characteristics Prospecting, Mechanics and Willpower."

Another beautiful rendition of the current system. I was wondering how you guys were going to manage this with all the new aptitudes and am not disappointed. Detailed yet streamlined. Not too shabby at all.


"The branching spell tree has been abandoned for a more compact version, with a direct view of the contents of the three Elemental branches, as well as ‘Support Aptitudes’ (temporary name)."

Just gorgeous. We have seen this before but now it just seems the best time to comment on how much better it looks than the current system. Very much part of that "winning formula".


"Ladies and Gentlemen, here is…the Recycler! This little beast will allow you not only to get rid of all your unwanted items, but also to ‘de-pollute’ the area."

OH YES! Finally I get to see the instrument that I was most interested in. I am very happy to see that I can even get rid of my unwanted items in a way that will benefit the environment (and ofcourse myself in the process ).


"We’re still working on v2’s Option Menu. You can already see some improvements though, most obviously aesthetically."

And how. It seems that even above functionality, this overhaul is doing wonders for the beauty of the game. To me, a game that looks good (in it's own, original way) makes me more excited about playing it than just considering the gameplay alone.


"From now on, each class has its own background, like a diorama. You can also choose your starting nation from amongst several possibilities."

Yet again, a minor, simple but oh so very good addition. So far so good lol.


"But you’ll see for yourself that the Haven Bag has plenty of other promising secrets hidden away."

Ah so then I guess this means that we will have to discover this ourselves...no more descriptive updates explaining it thoroughly? Oh well, it's all good.


"There’s a notice board at the centre of each marketplace, listing all the merchandise available, provided that each merchant has paid their fee to the state. Once you’ve found the item of your dreams, all that’s left is for you to visit the owner’s Haven Bag and grab it."

BAM. Right here. This is THE best addition you guys could possibly make. How many hours did I spend just browsing hundreds of bags looking for the items I needed at a reasonable price. By far the biggest deterrent to playing the game (well except for the bugs ofcourse ). Holy smack, I am soooo relieved to hear about this.


"For concerns about security, and so that buyers and browsers don’t end up in the same open Haven Bag at the same time, the Amakna council has imposed a minimum distance between two bags across the Archipelago."

Alright, I have no clue what this means. Anybody care to explain?


"You must have had your fill of text by now, so to finish with something less wordy, and more beautiful, it’s our pleasure to present a small sample of the many different APS that have been created just for you!"

And how. Very pretty indeed. Yet another great example of a visual attraction.


"# Improving the soundtrack;
# one of our biggest tasks: we want to improve the AI of monsters, to make them more lifelike and convincing."

Both fantastic ideas.
A good soundtrack can really add to the gaming experience and would encourage people like myself from not pressing that oh-so-useful 'Mute' button.
Ah the AI...this is by far one of the most important updates to me (and well most people who play this game). I am very excited to see how this will be. Very excited indeed.

how exciting :] i loved everything in this post, and i'm glad the marketplace got changed, the lag that came from the red carpets was ridiculous.

This game has so much eye candy! I'm really happy that you can have your own garden in your haven sack now, since I really wanted that feature. <3

K yay this is like so awesome cant w8 to play it ... i just a tiny little thingy well maybe the osa may not be playable that cuz of the AI and all the other more complicated stuff oh well i wich they implement that class soon xD is my favorite but everything else looks great..
The feca spells looked awesome is prob one of the classes besides osa of course wich i wanna play the most in the v2 xD.

I think it is clearing up now. I suppose you are trying to prevent bag-to-bag scamming? I think this is one of those things that is exceedingly obvious to most but just a "blank spot" to me.
I will more than likely understand it fully when I play the game so till then I will glean any info on this from other descriptions, logs and answers.
