New mono-account only server coming out on the 17th. Completely fresh, no transferring characters from the other servers allowed. Multiboxing completely banned. We're so hyped we're actually making a general. The /v/ thread is dying so I am quickly making this, more info will be added to the OP of the next threads.
Is it possible for a new player to just hop in or do you need the meta knowledge of 13 years to play the game?
Nolan Gutierrez
It's been forever for me, wonder if I should wait for new server to start or warm up and maybe ruin the fun
Lincoln Ortiz
Oh man I fucked up linking the thread just before it died, how embarassing.
Chase Mitchell
While some knowledge will get you a long way, you'll probably be fine since everyone has to start fresh.
Ayden Wright
I think there's some amount of knowledge that's way undershared (such as the correct way to level and do stat allocation, or build viability, etc.). Other than that it's fine.
Angel Wright
Reporting for duty
You can definitly jump in
Lucas Martinez
you can hope in, the meta change every few years anyway
Liam Thompson
So about this discord server, do we make one?
Fuck irc
Evan Gray
don't make one and don't bring this stupid fight here, if you make a discord, otherwise the general will die, if you have questions post them here
Logan Baker
If we do make one it will be after or jsut before the launch, making one now will just kill the hype by moving the posting to it instead of here.
Brody Harris
the only real meta knowledge imo is learning about maging. and that only becomes relevant at the very very late game.
Hudson Long
any way to force the game to use my gpu? i remember playing it a few months ago and it used it just fine, game was smooth, now my gpu is just idling and the framerate is worse than i remember, or i could be hallucinating
Joshua Baker
>maging what is that ?
Luis Clark
Yeah you re probably right.
Asher Rodriguez
No point in doing it now, wait for the new server to launch
Julian Butler
>multiboxing goes away >not enough players to form parties
Sounds real neat, ankama.
Grayson Cooper
Will there be a guild once server goes live?
Angel Sanders
Don't make one.
Leo Smith
4 player parties has always been superior anyway
Christopher Robinson
At the release of otomustam and ombre, there was enough player to make parties and you'll get invitation left and right
Sebastian Jones
Turns out when everyone plays alone there isn't anyone to group with. That will change.
William Kelly
You can try restarting the game a few times (with/without closing the launcher first). It's actually a GPU driver issue, they try to detect whether or not to unthrottle for graphical loads but they don't poll routinely, only "once". Thus if they find no load at the time they poll, they remain throttled.
This. I'll never understand how this surprises anyone though. It's a simple game-theoretical nash-equalibrium that you should group with yourself since you are always available when you are available, and the same cannot be said about others. By preventing this solution, you are moving the equilibrium toward the MMO ideal equilibrium, which is the correct approach (won't necessarily be perfect, we'll see).
Blake Parker
When you craft an item, it's a dice roll on the stats it gets. For example, you craft a hat and it can have 6-10 strength, and the one you crafted has 7 strength.
There's a profession that allows you to 'mage' the item. Basically it means you can alter the stats to whatever you desire. So you can change your 7 str hat to 10 str. You can 'over' mage something, meaning you mage the hat to 15 str. Then you can 'exo' mage something, meaning you add extra stats that don't come naturally on the item. So with the hat example again, you add 1 movement point to the hat.
Maging is all luck and chance. I've played 6 (nearly 7) subscription years worth of Dofus and I still don't fully understand it because there is some skill to it.
Jonathan Martin
Quite the contrary. I don't understand anything now, everything has changed.
Christian Fisher
you need level 120 miner to make a guildalogemme so it's gonna take at least a little while
Ian Garcia
forgot to mention maging is very expensive to get into. it's the most profitable, but also the most risky since you can spend millions on maging an item and still not get the exo mage (exo mage chances are much smaller).
Leo Campbell
Wakfu and Dofus, what's the difference between these two?
Eli White
P2W.
It's modifying gear stats, most importantly putting shit that doesn't belong there like AP, and MP, which gives you more actions a turn. The more powerful a stat is, the less likely it is to stick into a piece of gear. Failing to modify something will consume the rare consumable (the better the stat, the more rare the consumable), and make your gear WORSE. You can imagine how devastating it is to lose a piece of gear with multiple 0.001% drop rate components. The ones that succeed effectively have the most broken piece of shit gear, and no one else can compete til they buy gold to sink resources into trying to replicate the luck.
Blake Bell
Is mining profitable? Could I become rich by mining my way to 120?
Nolan Gutierrez
Wakfu is dead, devoid of content and overall shit.
Isaac Peterson
Okay, thanks user ! This is quite shameful to be teached this when I'm forgemage level 100 on my main, I'll gave to learn all the english slangs
it's not pay to win you dumb fuck
Leo Allen
Wakfu is a shitty prototype.
Dofus is EU WoW (ton of content added over the years, and still adding new content for end game)
Leo Kelly
Different games gameplay-wise.
Story-wise, they're in the same world but wakfu is 1000 after dofus
Tyler Sanders
Wakfu sucks more and also it's completely dead because ankama is retards. Plus ankama only cares about dofus, not wakfu, because dofus is more profitable and $ > *.
Anthony Stewart
10 times the content and playerbase. Wakfu is just shit Dofus with more animated backgrounds basically. Also, Dofus has more intricate combat due to more builds and spells.
Joseph Miller
i'm afraid i don't know much about mining, but just about everything is gonna be in demand since the server will be just starting out
Julian Richardson
I'm so fucking hyped for this, but why did they make the professions like Runecape? I think having access to three made your character more unique.
Matthew Thomas
It s going to take a fucking long time, and mining isn't adviced desu
Jace Wilson
Yes. The only problem with mining is the ressources are more rare. Also bots.
Cameron Roberts
It wasn't back when I used to play, but with the introduction of ogrines, and making kama buying legal, anyone can just sink thousands to get the best maged gear.
Jordan Torres
Wakfu have better graphics, and is free. Gameplay differences here and there. Populations is alright, server merge on 2018 have many people excited.
Up to you user, Dofus players will shit it up to oblivion to make you pay for Dofus and the doomed single player server.
Ian Young
Fishing level?
Carter Anderson
Should I play Xelor or Huppermage?
Isaac Lopez
Wakfu population is dead as fuck user. And Wakfu combat is terrible in comparison to Dofus.
Dylan Wood
>the general have been made 23minutes ago and there's already wakfu/dofus war This is why we can't have nice things
Adam Roberts
>Dofus >doomed Dofus has over a decade of sunken cost fallacy to fall back on, its population is going nowhere. Either way, Wakfu is actually shit outside of graphics, it turned to shit the moment they made it dofus with a fraction of the content.
Hudson Kelly
>this whole post
William Wood
Nah honestly, wakfu is dead af and I like both
Dominic Jenkins
Xelor is for nuclear scientist, Huppermage is for people who know how to exploit theses damn portal Test each of them and take the one you enjoy the more
Samuel Ross
That's eliotrope user, huppermage is an elementalist, no portals
Ryder Thompson
These are the more advanced classes. Unless you plan on sticking to PvE, stay away.
damn you're right, huppermage put element on people and when they hit with another spell it makes funny things Still test each of them and choose
Sebastian Gutierrez
Can't decide between going mask for shields and damage or feca for shields and buffs. Which one would be better to go as?
Noah Ward
They got reworked not so long ago so can't say, but they should be, every rework has been positive overall
Logan Nelson
yes
Hudson Roberts
Feca is better unless you're constantly playing in a group, solely because Masqueraider is pure pain to play alone.
Andrew Mitchell
they used to be top tier in pvp but useless in end game pve.
now they're okay in pvp. dunno about pve (still seem useless in pve to me).
Xavier Thomas
XP grinding sucks because you're always hurt and you will need to heal up after every combat. They are very good though. Hands down the best "tank", not fun to play againt as they have insane amounts of health.
Ryan Lewis
That was the plan user I was in a hurry that's all.
Elijah Adams
See what I mean? Like a fucking clock. And I wasn't talking about Dofus on general, but the single player one that have most of these guys around here. It never, ever works. Don't be delusional.
---------------------
Wakfu population is fine, is not amazing, but is way better than most F2P MMO's out there.
These guys don't get it at all, but there are people that will NEVER, EVER pay for a MMO no matter how good everyone will say it is, so the better option for these players is to try Wakfu.
This was also named the goddamn Ankama games general. The fuck is wrong with you? Will sperging bring out more players here?
To end it up, both games are vastly different gameplay/resource wise. One is Tactics Ogre, the other is Final Fantasy Tactics. One is Heroes of Might and Magic, the other is Disciples. Stop being a fucking idiot and learn to love videogames. Sheesh.
Adam Miller
sac's don't get the hp bonus anymore my friend. they were completely reworked.
Matthew Nelson
They're pain until you get the damage mask spell
Chase Cook
i'd honestly rather play free to play Runescape than Wakfu.
Elijah Cooper
so I just put everything in Vitality if I play Sacrier then?
Luis Scott
>doomsaying the reason this thread even exists >wooooooooooooooooooooooooow see what i mean????
David Sullivan
see
Josiah James
Yeah pretty much
Andrew Powell
Is Dofus still played in Java?
I asked about endgame content in the other thread, and a few people replied. But no one mentioned any GvG or anything of the kind. Is there? Is there more to do with your guild aside from playing house and circle jerking?
Levi Hernandez
so what does this mean then? am noob
John Robinson
means you don't put all your points into vitality anymore. sacrier stats act just like every other character now.
Dylan Brown
There is guild vs guild but it's cancer You either join the 2 or 3 biggest guild aliances on the servers or you go fuck yourself
Asher Barnes
Well yeah, the idea is that the server is new, so that wouldn't be a problem.
Sebastian Price
actually if you're in the biggest alliances the gvg is really interesting and attacking percepters is fun
Thomas Nelson
I'm not saying that Dofus is a bad game, I'm saying that the single player server is going to die a failure. The only people that will populate it is the hardcore, and that is never a good environment for new players, or sustainable on the long run. Just play the main game ffs.
But then... even Krosmaster Arena is still online, the game have like 12 players online max, so who knows.
Not if you are interested on the Ankama universe at all. Or... if you actually have taste and aren't a dirty millennial tbqh senpai.
Jackson Cooper
Still in Java
Now there is alliances, with a guild groups, and you can control portions of the map with your alliance and even locking some portions to your map, which might includes some rares ressources
Control the rice and I can guarentee you will be insanly rich
Anthony Brown
I think the next OP should linked to a pastebin with shared knowledge
Levi Ward
What? Aren't sacriers supposed to receive dmg all the time? What about the huge health pools ?
Caleb Johnson
>try out dofus >roll foggernaut >harpooner attacks allies and enemies alike
But why?
James Martin
I'll probably stick to PVE. I don't care for the PVP in Wakfu at all, so I doubt I'll enjoy it in Dofus.
William Long
Don't stay in the way nigga
Thomas Ramirez
Uhhh, Wakfu is fucking awesome. It's like the Final Fantasy Tactics MMO i've always dreamed of. It's only "dead" because Square Enix dropped publishing at the very last second for some reason and thus the game got like no advertisement.
Juan Fisher
Its 2017, haven't you heard about diversity?
Carter Rivera
>Just play the main game ffs. ???? people are only excited for this because it won't have the multiboxers that plagues the current servers >and that is never a good environment for new players, who is saying that this is gonna bring in new players? the only people excited about this are people who have played the game before, i don't think anyone has said otherwise >or sustainable on the long run. according to what?
Nolan King
You get a spell that prevents this at higher level
Joshua Adams
because it force you to use your brain and maintain distance while sending your ennemy in the harpooner range with your spells and not just put your turret and stay hidden behind
Ethan Hall
>calling it a single player server when it's exact purpose is to prevent a single player from just multiboxing a full party
Special kind of retard.
Cooper Rogers
that's because it's how OP called it, it's called the monoaccount server
Josiah Murphy
It isn't really dead, don't believe or spread the meme user. Go see Remington, or see it next year when Phaeris and Nox get merged into it. Ouginaks are in on the next update, should be really fun to awooo the Krosmos.
How many of you play Krosmaga? The game is on an amazing place right now, you could see how much development power they have put into it.
Connor Hill
I do, it s alright but you gotta admit every update is sick
Jeremiah Long
I'm playing it, I suck balls but I'm still getting at least rank 10 per season so I'll keep trying
Ian Barnes
I'm on the fence of going Osa or Fogger
Which would bring more value and color to a group?
Benjamin Green
I'm going to play a masqueraider
Nolan Edwards
Osa can revive his allies, buff them and debuff the ennemy, Fogger can hit really hard, put the ennemy where he wants to put him and almost kill all his allies because he's retarded
Carter Sanchez
Are Enripsas still the best healers, or are the options a bit more balanced now?
