Beta: Set Forth to Conquer Albuera!

It's here: the beta is online! But what you didn't know is that we've been working behind the scenes to create a rush server for you with rewards to be won…

SPANISH

First of all, you need to know that no characters have been imported for the first week of the beta. There's a good reason for this: We want you to create a completely new character on the beta server so that you can test the start of the game like a new player starting from scratch. 

But don't worry, you'll find your precious character again in the second week of the beta so you can test all the other new features with it!

"Conquering Albuera" Contest

To add more fun to this beta phase, we're offering a rush server!

The idea is as follows: Every day starting today, Monday, November 7, until Saturday, November 12, we will give a new objective, which amounts to six in total.

You have until 8:00 a.m. (Paris time) on Monday, November 14, to complete them.

This news post will be updated approximately every 24 hours to reveal a new objective.

 

Objective

  • Defeat Belladonna
 

Rewards

With 2 or more objectives completed: You earn the title "Albuera Initiate"

If you complete all 6 objectives: You earn the Galgarion's Helmet


Are you in the mood for conquering? Prove it!

 


Here is the full changelog for the changes made 

Goodbye Incarnam, Hello Albuera!

In an effort to offer an even more enjoyable and user-friendly gaming experience, we have decided to redesign the DOFUS Touch adventure from the very beginning. Update 1.57 is when we say goodbye to Incarnam and welcome a new area to replace the celestial island, which has witnessed so many adventurers being born there over the years! Check out Albuera now!

 

 

 

  • Incarnam-related quests and achievements have been removed from the game, causing a loss in achievement points and the number of quests completed for those who completed them.

Reworking Lairs

Given the change to Incarnam and the lairs' being moved to new areas, the lairs' role will have to change. It's also an opportunity for a new iteration of this system's objectives and rewards!

 

 

 

Interfaces

 
As part of the redesign of the start of the game, some out-of-game interfaces have been reworked, too! This is especially true for the character creation interface.
 
  • The World of Twelve map has been updated with Albuera being added.
  • Some available quests are now shown on the world map, especially for the Astrub area, to guide players on their way out of Albuera.
  • The default button order in the shortcut bar has changed.
  • The in-game encyclopedia has also been updated.
  • You can now save the "Public" status of your profession(s) between sessions.
  • The appearance of the counter for quests requiring you to kill several monsters has been fixed when the objective is achieved.
  • If a quest monster is in a group and the option "Display all the monsters in a group" is turned off, this monster's appearance will be the first one visible on the game map.
  • Guild ranks are now adapted to female characters.
  • Several spell descriptions have been reworked and corrected.
  • Several texts and descriptions have been corrected.
 

Server-Restricted Purchases

 
  • You can no longer buy an item in the shop on server A and receive it on server B.
  • Obviously, this does not affect Bonus Packs and goultines, which will remained linked to the account.
  • This change is being implemented to curb certain types of abuse and anticipate future changes in the shop.
 

Ceremonial Petsmounts on Dragoturkeys

 
  • You can now use ceremonial petsmounts on dragoturkeys! To do so, just move your ceremonial petsmount to the ceremonial petsmount slot that is already available for this purpose.
  • This does not apply to ceremonial pets.
 

Automatic Backup Optimization

 
  • Automatic backups, which are done four times a day (more information), could prevent access to some servers for more than 15 minutes.
  • We have done a first iteration to optimize this process; the waiting time should no longer exceed five minutes for the most heavily populated servers.

Changes to the Kolossium Preparation Phase


This topic was covered in a forum workshop. We decided to take it up a notch!

During the Kolossium fight preparation phase:
  • opponents' positions are no longer shown;
  • opponents remain visible in the timeline, but without their equipment;
  • players are no longer shown in order of Initiative in the timeline;
  • and you can no longer press and hold an opponent in the timeline.
 

Changes to Weapons and Equipment

We've made a number of changes to weapons and equipment in this new update. These changes affect two major aspects: recipes and effects.

 

 

 

Learn about all the changes

 

Miscellaneous

 
  • New ways to obtain pets from the game DOFUS Pets are available (which has not been accessible for several weeks now):
    • Ascension Island,
    • the Kolossium,
    • and the wandering merchant from Pandala.
  • Godron isn't available right now, but it will be in the future. The Moon pet can now feed on Rokoko Leaf and Ambusher Bud resources.

 

Spellmaster Seals and Level-200 Spell

 
  • The Summoning of Dopple spell, reworked in update 1.52, is disappearing completely and being replaced by a new spell.
  • As for class sets, the items in them will no longer grant bonuses and will instead become ceremonial items for cloaks and headgear, which will be credited to players who completed the content of Albuera. To replace this equipment, a new type of item will be introduced: Spellmaster Seals.

Opening the Bank from Anywhere

 

You can now open the bank interface from your inventory, from (almost) anywhere in the World of Twelve.

This is mainly so you will have to go back and forth less in the game, which is not suitable for mobile sessions. This mirrors the introduction of teleportation runes a few months earlier, which let you reach a workshop faster.

However, to avoid certain types of abuse, the tax will be different if it is opened "remotely" from the bank, with a base of 50 kamas and a doubled standard tax.

 

Class Balancing and Bug Fixes

 

Cra

Barricade Arrow:

  • Damage inflicted while the caster is in the Guardian state decreases with each level (on the second damage line).

Bat's Eye:

  • If you inflict a Critical Hit on a Tactical Beacon, the Critical Hit is now properly passed on to the other beacons.

Tactical Beacons:

  • Lord Crow's spells no longer allow a Cra to exceeed the Tactical Beacon limit.


Rogue

 

Overload:

  • The spell has been replaced by a spell that applies a shield to bombs in the area of effect and increases their combo bonus.

Countdown:
 
  • The spell has been replaced by a spell that moves bombs in a straight line and diagonally while increasing their combo bonus.

Powder:

  • Leaving a fight no longer makes the bombs in question explode nor lets the caster win.

The Countdown and Overload spells have not directly changed for the class. The modified version of the spell can be bought using a scroll from the NPC "Best-a-Tester".


Enutrof

 

Clumsiness:

  • The MP reduction at rank 6 has decreased: 3 → 2.
  • The number of casts per turn at rank 6 has increased: 3 → 4.
 

Blinding Shovel:

  • Damage triggered by a range reduction has increased at rank 6: 10–12 → 12–14.

    • Rank 5: 31–33 → 34–36
    • Rank 6: 35–37 → 38–41

  • The spell's maximum range has decreased: 2/3/4/5/6/7 → 2/3/3/4/4/5. This range is still modifiable.
 

Sacrier

 

Light Speed:

  • The damage bonus for each target traveled through has increased: 7 → 9.

Sacrifice:

  • How the Dopplesque Favouritism spell is used has changed for the Osamodas Temple Dopple.
  • The Kwismas Minotoball has been adapted to a four-player format.
  • Some unbewitchment effects cast by monsters have been replaced by a reduction in effect duration so as to limit their impact.
  • Monsters from Nolifis Island no longer drop resources, as the island will change at a later date. Resources can still be sold to NPCs.
  • Piwis found in the cities have been removed: Astrub, Amakna Village, Sufokia, Bonta, and Brakmar. You can now find them west of Astrub in a dedicated area.
  • The Kilibriss monster has been rebalanced; in particular, it will no make the player skip their turn and will instead apply the Pacifist state.
  • Ghosts that used to be found among the monsters in the Cemetery of the Tortured have been removed and now have their own area: the Desecrated Highlands. This area's previous selection of monsters has been removed, as they are available in other surrounding areas.

Miscellaneous

  • The beginner channel can now be accessed up to level 70.
  • Empty soul stones (containing monsters that were removed from the game) have been removed from the game. They were of no further use other than cluttering the Marketplace and causing latency in that interface.
  • An ornament has been added for obtaning 12,000 achievement points.
  • When creating a guild, the two-month waiting period to link a house or paddock has been removed.
