Beta: Time to Duel!

The beta for the next DOFUS Touch update is now available in-game! After all the teasing on Twitch streams and our social media, it's time to see what's in there!

A new version of DOFUS Touch is available in beta mode!

Update 1.61 offers a tempting selection of features:

• Xelor revamp
• Kolossium 1v1
• and many more surprises to discover!

 

To find out more about using the beta and to learn how and where to report issues, please refer to this article.

Here's the full changelog with the changes in this update:

Kolossium

1v1 Mode

 

• The 1v1 Kolossium arrives in DOFUS Touch! Use the Kolossium interface, now fully revamped, to access this new game mode.
• With faster, less balanced battles, this mode doesn't offer as many rewards as 3v3 mode.
• You can search for a 1v1 and a 3v3 match at the same time (also while using the dungeon search for dungeons).

 

Rewards

 

• The base rewards in Kolossokens, kamas, and experience points have been reduced.
• From one week to the next, the rewards earned from Kolossium battles will be doubled in 1v1 mode, and then in 3v3 (Kolossokens, kamas, and XP). A visual indicator is available in the Kolossium interface.
• New rewards connected to the Kolossium have been added to the NPC Glad Yator:
  • Godron pets
  • 5 new ceremonial sets

 

Matchmaking

Since we can't rework the rating system at this time, changes have been made to Kolossium matchmaking.

Some of these rules will undergo a "relaxation". That is, the rules are relaxed if it's taking the player too long to find a match.
 

3v3 Mode

 

• There is a maximum of 20 levels difference between the lowest-level and highest-level character in a match. This difference is calculated from the six players in the two teams. Relaxation: no
• We try to match players with similar ratings. Relaxation: yes
• Class duplicates are prohibited within a single team, whether formed through matchmaking or at players' initiative. Relaxation: no
• The system won't match a player with a team if the player is on the enemy or ignored list of one of the team members. Relaxation: yes

 

1v1 Mode

 

• There is a maximum of 10 levels difference between the two players. Relaxation: no
• We try to match players with similar ratings. Relaxation: yes
• We try to avoid mirror matches: ones that pit characters of the same class against each other. Relaxation: yes
• We try to avoid having two matches in a row against the same race. Relaxation: yes
• We try not to match up two players that just fought. Relaxation: no

For both game modes and insofar as possible, the system will avoid having consecutive battles on the same map.

Rankings accessible in-game

Rankings will be available directly in the game, both for 1v1 and 3v3 Kolossium matches. New rewards related to them have been added! Discover more in this devblog.
 

Miscellaneous

 

• Only the 9 maps from the game's tournament zone (Hall of the Valiant) will now be used for the Kolossium. We plan to eventually add new maps with starting positions specific to each game mode.
• Added a window presenting the Kolossium when the character hits level 50.
• In order to avoid ties in the rankings, we will now use decimals to break ties between players. Naturally, you won't see this on the rankings interface, but you'll be able to view it in detail by tapping and holding on the rating.
• Kolossokens and kamas obtained after a victory in the Kolossium will now take a character's level into account.
