An odd Wakfu update.

I don't know if it's just me, but I specifically remember a time when I saw the Wakfu MMO having one of those weird eery updates.

I'm not sure if anyone can help me on this or if they even know what I'm talking about but a few years ago, I remember seeing an update from the Wakfu MMO that had the Brotherhood of the Tofu caught in a vegetative state. They were all stuck as humanoid trees rooted to the ground, but you were able to see some of their body parts intact from the vegetative process. Every single one of them looked like they had been zombified in a way except for Adamaï since he was nowhere to be seen.

The sight of them would've almost made me wonder if they just looked like that for a Halloween update. The only one who wasn't stuck to the ground in a zombified trance was Yugo. He had used the six eliatrope dofus and was in that same disheveled state from Season 2 when he was fighting Qilby.

I don't know how I came to remember this a few weeks ago, but I SWEAR I've seen that image somewhere, I just don't know where specifically. It was a real screenshot that had been taken by a player and shared it publicly. So yes, the image in question has been directly taken from the game.

I only saw that pic once, a few years ago, and my dumbass never bothered saving it. So I tried looking it up again only to find out I didn't remember where I even saw it in the first place.

I really don't want anyone to think that I'm making shit up because I'm really not.

@wakfu-weekly was generous enough to take the time out of their day to check the Wakfu MMO's update log history but found nothing that could have the same update I described.

It still bothers me how I am able to perfectly remember what I've seen about this off-putting screenshot, and yet I can't seem to find it anywhere 💀💀

Does anyone know something about this????

[corneille-moisie]

here's a bunch of my Palia predictions :

- new areas (im thinking the Elderwoods specifically)

- boats (maybe ran by Einar ?)

- honey (see these jars at Zeki's shop ?)

- pekis, which could also include animal husbandry, which means collecting eggs on your home plot

- same but with ormuus and milk :)

- mounts ! (stables, but no horse... i mean, riffrocs)

- shortcuts on the home plot, similar to the one to go to Bahari (im thinking one towards the elderwoods and one towards a boating area, and possibly one for the underground market 🤔)

- more body types (thats my wishful thinking here ngl 😂😭)

The new harvest house and building blocks have opened a new level of design. I LOVE it.

Devblog: Necroworld interview

A devblog was published talking about the newly added Necroworld dungeon to the mmo.

You should read it for yourself if you are curious, but here are the bits I found interesting (and my thoughts on it):

(Text taken from the article colored in purple)

"Why did you specifically choose to create a 3-person dungeon for Toross Mordal?

In the 3-person dungeons, we try as much as possible to go with bosses that have a transmedia presence. Basically, these are bosses that players who've had experience with the Krosmoz universe will be eager to fight. So we want to make them more accessible to players who are playing with one character or one account. (…)”

I didn’t know they had this approach. This explains a lot of the other design choices like it being a single room that just goes straight to the boss and the more straightforward wakfu drain mechanic. Making the mmo more accessible to other Krosmoz fans is often a tricky task, which is especially highlighted here since you have to be at least level 215 to even be allowed inside of the Necroworld. At this level bracket you are already deep into the mmo trenches, which could be why I’ve seen the sentiment of the Toross fight being too easy echoed from some players. This is meant to be a fun, simpler fight that was placed at the highest level bracket of the game where the most dedicated players reside.

Was it hard to maintain story consistency with WAKFU S4 with the addition of the Necroworld?

I wouldn't say it was hard, but it was definitely an important issue as we were developing the quest. We had to implement the player's discovery of the Necroworld in the timeline of WAKFU MMO while also justifying the shared discovery of the Necroworld by all Twelvians in Season 4 of the WAKFU animated series.

I worked with [Sly] and [Siu] to write the quest. The narrative goal was to get the player into the Necroworld while involving as few characters as possible. Ultimately, we had the idea to use a little trick with Otomai and his links to the Eliatropes' story. But I won't reveal any more here, so that people can discover the quest for themselves.

Okay, so there is a quest! I was left under the erroneous impression that there wasn’t (since I’m not the right level yet, I’ve only gotten footage and glimpses from watching another friend play it on release day. They didn’t get a quest related to it. A bug maybe?)

I was particularly wondering about the story here. Hearing that they wrote it with “as few characters as possible” makes sense to avoid the continuity nightmares but also. Uh oh. That sounds… Pretty telling? Alas since I haven’t actually played through the quest, I cannot comment on it.

I’ve been enjoying the quests and story from the newest updates so far, so I’m willing to trust them on this one.

Where'd you get your inspiration for this new boss's equipment?

The first source of inspiration was, of course, Toross and his army, the iconic characters from season 4 of WAKFU. What I like about these new monsters is the striking contrast between their desaturated colors and the pink Stasis, which allows us to establish a strong visual identity for the equipment.

they are right. The greys with the super saturated colors do go pretty hard.

I’ve been super inactive EVERYWHERE — but hi hello I’m alive! :’D

I have zero service at work and I’ve been a lil busy at home but I’ve got several things in the work rn!!

How’s the Palia update??? How’s the Stardew update??!

[bowithoutadaemon]

Maybe some other Palia player here knows if this is a bug or if I am just incredibly unlucky.

I now found the Jolly Ormuu rug 4 times and still don't have the recipe. Like, sure I don't plan on using a whole bunch of that rug. But I still want the recipe, ya know? For completion.

Is it a bug? Should I have gotten the recipe when I first got that rug? Or is it only a chance to get the recipe when you randomly get the item from the daily pile?
