Community Update #2
After two long months without any tasty news to share, somewhat depriving you of clarity about progress on things we've been struggling with, we're finally coming up for some air…You know that moment when you want to tidy up a room… and you end up emptying everything onto the floor before you even get started? That's more or less what we did with WAVEN. The clock was ticking, and behind the scenes, we simplified, redesigned, trimmed, reimagined, and sometimes even daydreamed… Between two heated meetings and a number of admittedly heavy game design documents, we pulled ourselves together, keeping one clear idea in mind: How can we make WAVEN simpler without taking anything away from it? As much as we love complex systems, lengthy combos, and mind-blowing builds, there comes a time where even we lose sight of what we're actually doing. So we decided to pick our battles a bit better.SIMPLIFICATIONAs surprising as it may seem, simplifying a game isn't simple. Quite the opposite – it's a really convoluted task. The word "simplification" can be intimidating because it brings to mind losing depth, mechanics becoming bland, and fun being restricted. But that's absolutely not the goal. What we're aiming for is clarity. A game that makes you want to dive in head first, without wondering if you'll be out of your depth. Rereading a spell description six (or more) times to grasp what it does? We don't go in for that anymore. So, we gathered our courage and tackled several fundamental aspects of WAVEN:heroes and their spells,descriptions,the card system,companions,the AP reserve,and a few removed mechanics… Heroes and Their SpellsThose who followed our Ankama Live in April already got a glimpse of it… but let's lay things out plainly. In the new version of WAVEN, each hero has four unique spells and a passive that is unique to them. That's all there is to the character's identity. All other spells (some 150) are now shared by all heroes – no more class spells, no more impossible...Read full article on Community Announcements ([Sirna])Patch NotesOfficial

FAQ – Progress Reset
A new era is about to dawn for WAVEN and with it, there will be a major progress reset. Before that happens, we're explaining everything simply and openly. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44049144/78179552c75e3df93ed0e0cb7fe4de913027ea4b.png WHY A RESET? With the arrival of major changes in the game, this reset is needed to ensure a healthier and more balanced experience that is better prepared to welcome the upcoming new content and features. WAVEN's overall balance is going to undergo a structural change, and it is therefore crucial that accounts be wiped clean. Don't worry! Everything you've acquired that has lasting value will be kept or refunded. WHAT WILL BE RESET The reset concerns, above all, everything related to your in-game progress: World chapters, quest points, first-time rewards, and progress in Story Mode Characters Items: spells, companions, equipment, chests, etc. Soft currency: kamas, island tokens, Wakfu fragments, season tickets, runes, etc. Guilds Cosmetic items earned through account progress Boats Prisms WHAT WILL BE KEPT Some elements will be maintained, because they are linked to purchases or exceptional events: Cosmetic items purchased with gems (or refunded if they are not compatible with the new version of the game, such as guild haven skins, etc.) Cosmetic items won through community events: trophies, character customizations, etc. Gameplay comfort elements: character slots, deck slots, etc. (or refunded if they cannot be kept) Your gems, both bought and earned WHAT WILL BE REFUNDED AUTOMATICALLY We will refund everything that couldn't be kept and pertains to purchases or removed features: Guild haven skins Shop packs containing gameplay elements The automatic refund is separate from future compensations, which will be communicated later. USEFUL INFO Most of the elements that will be kept or refunded will be sent via an in-game message. You'll need to open the message and recover its contents to activate the elements in your account.

AnkamaLive: WAVEN in 2025 (recap)
Did you miss the latest Ankama Live on WAVEN's future? This article summarizes the big announcements and major changes to come in the game. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44049144/700813ddbdc2c7a0f35f67d9184e520584f4624e.png The game has not been abandoned in the slightest. WAVEN is an adventure that we dreamed of, designed, and built with passion. A license in which we deeply believe. We love it. It is a game that we want to be a worthy heir of everything that DOFUS and WAKFU are and have been for millions of players. We've carried this project for a long time and we still believe in it with conviction, even though recently the wind has been blowing much less in its sails… When the early access launched, the momentum was thunderous. The game found its audience, which was curious and enthusiastic. More than one million players came aboard, at least once, in this devastated World of Twelve. That's huge. Today, however, approximately seven thousand players log on daily. And, let's be honest, that's not a sign of good health. Not enough content, not enough diversity in gameplay modes, a vague promise about its positioning, hesitant management – examples are not lacking. We know, we see it, we're experiencing it with you. We need to stop the bleeding and stop patching leaks. We've taken a step back, dug deeper, examined the very essence of WAVEN and its structure and ambitions. Because if we want it to continue to exist, we need to give it a second wind. During this process, we fundamentally challenged our beliefs, following a clear objective: rebuild on solid foundations. CURRENT SITUATION Before talking about rebuilding, we needed a true diagnosis. Not some polished or embellished report. Instead, something clear, precise, sometimes difficult to hear, and yet necessary. Because to understand where WAVEN stumbled, we first needed to be willing to look reality in the face, head on without filters. The game is suffering from several clearly identified flaws. Some are structural,...Read full article on Community Announcements ([Sirna])
