Wakfu is starting to get more and more interesting. Hope they one day get out of Beta...

How nice. Watch Everfaust's video(s) to get another take.

@NotRaPoSa0CiNzEnTa Lag? All european servers are in the same place.

Language barriers? Isn't that up to the players to decide? You probably haven't realized but I'm Spanish. And it upsets me that I'm not allowed to play in the international servers despite being perfectly capable and willing to speak English.

Sorry, there is absolutely no excuse for these server restrictions, and they're a deal breaker for me unless they are dealt with.

[NotRaPoSa0CiNzEnTa]

@falcord What about lag? And language barriers?

[falcord]

Yes, you wanted to create the game around the player freedom. Sure.

That's exactly why you've implemented absurd server restrictions even among europeans, which have no basis on a distribution agreement like what you did with Nox (which was already hard to tolerate).

Seriously, if you want to keep saying "building a game around the players" with a straight face, get rid of region restrictions. Nobody likes that.

I just found out their was a show to this game I'm up to episode 15 it's just as amazing as the game. :)

OMFG zidrune is fat ._. no offense tough...

@SolarsPoet You actually need 1000 points to run. Unfortunately the only way to even attempt to come close to this is to see to the wishes of the clan members in the area. Usually you can find some sort of crop and exploit it, which is what most people did (like the governor of brakmar, to reach 1000 Cit points within a day) by cutting it and replanting, or planting and stomping.

Other than the awful way the nations are being handled right now, it's a decent game. Hopefully bugs are fixed soon.

The ecosystem, economics, and politics control really add so much more depth to the game.

Wakfu's turning into a great game. ^_^

[Ostin364]

...economics, politics, ecosistem, politics, economics... I want tactical MMORPG!

[coolgyownsyou]

Yea i wish there were bigger incentives to grouping outside of dungeons.... battles take longer and offer no real benefit outside of being able to kill higher level creatures -_-
