I believe that there's always been complaints about overpowered classes. Just do a search on these forums and you can find post all the way back to 2006 and read about which classes people complained. When i started playing, Sadidas and Ecaflips were the hated classes. Everyone scremaed OP nerf nerf. After that, Fecas were getting everyones nerves. After that Enis, then Xelors, then Sacriers... and now Osas and Iops... and it will never end.

Yes. But never in such an extent. There was a nerf topic here, and maybe one there... and not dozens of nerf topics on a heap, as well as dozens of anti-nerf topics, and stuff. The only thing that comes close to this was the bluff madness back then.

Or just look at int iops. Has there ever been an "int iops are overpowered" topic before 1.27? No... and nothing changed about int iops with 1.27 except that suddenly these topics pop up. And the same with agi xelors, and so on. It all wasn't an issue until 1.27 when grinding little noobs using an alt became a major part of the game.

I do have to agree with that. Its escalating. And i still don't understand all this rage against int iops. It was never an issue before, but now its like the overpowered class build nobody never knew about ._. It's just like back in day playing my sacrier. I remembered when nobody wanted to waste ap buffing me, until things changed/evolved to the point where buffing me was crucial. If players hadnt come up with a way to make the sacrier useful like that, we would still have the same kinda spells. Everyone made the best of what was there and is what people still do. Ankama introduces changes, updates, new content through the years but isnt able to foresee the impact it will have on the game. This is why i think things will never change. No matter what changes they make to all classes, there will always be a few that will rise above the rest. Which after a while will be nerfed. Spells and tactics will change and players will adapt. Some will even come up with some new OP build and there we go again.

I foresee a major Cra spells update/buff and then some time later i foresee dozens of "Cras are Overpowerd" topics, much in the same way it is now with Osas

And you'll probably hear about people having fun 5x more often. At least on Shika you will.


Guess you're new to the real world.

Most game companies are out to profit. Ankama are a maverick company more interested in fulfilling the egos of the owners.

I totally agree with you but that in itself doesn't change anything.


Awaiting a visa from IND I believe - blame the UK Govt.

I think things have improved. We no longer have the strongest class being buffed, or the weakest class nerfed. They're clearly working on 2.0. Wakfu 0.2 is finally out.

As for nerf threads, who cares? Just don't read them. It's like listening to a irritating CD in a shop, complaining that it's irritating and then listening to another one.
