Foggernauts I dont know about. Masqueraiders got added to dofus a good while later after wakfu was already in development. Does wakfu have the rogue class? The one that is sort of similar to srams but use guns and bombs instead of daggers and traps? I always sort of wanted to be maybe try playing as one.

Well after a bit of a rusty start, I've gotten back into the groove. The combat is just as enjoyable as I remembered. It's so much more satisfying to beat something using your brain.

And yes, there are bomby gunny rogues.

Also, I think we need player names, not character names to add people to the contact list. Maybe. Either that or you just can't add offline people for some reason.

Pretty sure you can only add people when they're online. I'm about to get on, so we'll see!

Edit: I just now tried to add you with Xirtani and it didn't work.

Just gotcha then, you do add character names. I think it adds the account, though, so you're friends cross character. May be wrong!

Wanted to play this since forever-ago, but the sub was offputting. Now that they've gone "freemium", just how pay-to-win is it? And do they have any kind of survey system in place for free players to earn premium currency?

It's a little too early to answer the second question (they changed their payment model literally two days ago, so I'd imagine it'd take a while to get deals and such written up just based on that), but to answer the first question, at least from stuff present in game now, it seems like they're going the "pay for convinience" route. So you can grind out a stat reset, or buy one. There are some items that can add rune types (runes are basically socketables), but it all seems fairly reasonable, runes are min maxer territory, in a game like this +5 more HP or whatever won't kill you in the vast majority of cases.

The one grey area is buying partners, which are units you can control. Now, I really have no idea how they stack up to player characters, and you get a free one in the tutorial with no strings attached which is about all you need to make, for instance, a pure support feca/enriprisa work, and from what I've seen of higher level players, I have no idea how they COULd make them more destructive then players.

In any case the game is very much built around having other people to play with, so that seems more like a concession for those people that don't want to interact with each other in an MMO.

Also, I'm 90% certain you can buy premium partners from players.

Of course, expect them to be hideously expensive.

And really, you only need partners if you're soloing a lot or only have one or two friends and/or don't want to go through the hassle of finding pubbies for stuff.

PLUS every month or whatever one premium partner goes into trial mode where anybody can use them. Which means you can always have your max of two partners. Although the trial one will probably be a low level.

Alright, I'm going to give this a try again. I'll post my name here later so we can stab gobs and tofus togheder and do whatever new things they implemented. I'll prob be either a rogue, a sacrier or an enu.

Is the Foggernaut premium only? It's always blanked out on character creation.

Or do you just have to unlock it in game somehow?

EDIT: I'm an idiot, they're robots, so no female gender version.


Wait. Too many consecutive consonants!? First time a games ever bitched about a name at me because of THAT. Guess it's just biased against German. Makes sense, being French and all. Schw can totally be a valid part of a name, game!

K, made a rogue named croverlord on nox, dont remember my player nickname off my head, might be amurika. Send me a friend invite sometime, I'll probably only be on again later tho. This is a game that is usualy great when played with friends but gets boring fast if you just solo it, even if you have one of the companions.

Btw, if anyone gets a weird "no proxy availiable" error, it prob means the server is down for maintenance or an update, according to the forums. ATM I couldn't log into nox because of that error.

This looks interesting, I really like non-standard class and stat design; I'll probably try it out.
