MMORPG DOFUS :: Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game

Otkapodas the Great

Fri, 25 May 2012 17:19:48 +0100

Little by little, information about the Foggernaut culture is rising up from the deeps... but this is only the tip of the iceberg! Today, we will explore the intersection of the sacred and the secular in Fogger culture as we reveal their mysterious class symbol and statue.

You might remember that we discussed the Foggers' admiration for the god Osamodas in our previous Foggernaut preview video. In fact, they came to worship an aspect of Osamodas (known as Oktapodas) after they discovered a temple from an ancient civilization. The revelation of this temple and the traces of forgotten Technomagic artifacts found inside sparked a revolution of technology and ideas that would eventually lead to the Foggernauts re-emerging from the sea to join the nations on land.

Today, we reveal the Foggernaut Class Symbol and show you the magnificent statue of Oktapodas/Osamodas that will soon be constructed in Astrub...

We hope this prepares you further for the release of the Foggernaut class... keep your periscope up, we'll have even more exciting Foggernaut news for you next week!

Meet the Foggers!

Tue, 22 May 2012 20:02:14 +0100

Like ripples on the sea, the rumours are spreading: many adventurers believe the Foggernauts are returning, the ancient people who decided eons ago to dwell in the deep. And many adventurers have been convinced! Discover the look of the new Foggernauts today!

A new wave of Foggernauts mania is sweeping over the World of the Twelve! If this class has the wind in their sails, then that's probably because their origins are mysterious. But to date, there has been no evidence that they are seaworthy.

What's certain is that the number of adventurers ready to board the ship is growing! Disciples of the same god who also protects all ocean life (the great Osamodas), these Sufokians are impatient to cast off anchors.

Before you learn about the skills and characteristics of this new class, enjoy their "submarine" look!

[Contest] Dofus Movie Mayhem!

Tue, 22 May 2012 19:24:02 +0100

It's movie blockbuster season, and at DOFUS HQ, we're celebrating with contest where you share your favorite movie memories. Take a screenshot in-game of DOFUS characters recreating your favorite movie scenes, and you could win a rare set and a month of free subscription!

To enter the contest, you must create a screenshot of DOFUS characters re-enacting famous movie scenes in-game. Try to be as elaborate and accurate as possible - we want to really be in the scene, not just see a character saying a line from a movie!

Here's an example, can you guess which famous movie scene is portrayed below?

The five top entries will receive the full Empire Set, plus a Gupin pet, and a month of DOFUS subscription! We'll also have prizes for the top 10 runners-up, who will receive the complete Empire set. In order to encourage participation, this contest allows group entries. That's right, if you create a movie scene screenshot as a group and your screenshot is judged to be one of the winners, every member of the group will receive this prize (limit one prize per account). Appoint one person to submit the entry and make sure they include all the participent's names.

You have until 10 AM GMT (that's noon Dofus Time) on Tuesday, June 5th, 2012 to submit your entries right here in this thread!

Here's a more detailed list of the rules:

All valid entries must be in the form of an in-game screenshot. Some image-editing may be allowed to help combine multiple "takes" into a single screenshot if necessary, but editing or non in-game graphics should not be the focus of the entry.
Entries must attempt to portray a scene from a movie - not a television show, radio drama, webcomic, theater production, etc.
Entries must be in English.
Any entries that violate the Terms and Conditions of DOFUS will be disqualified without notification.
All rulings on what does and does not violate the Terms and Conditions of DOFUS will be at the sole discretion of Ankama. These ruling are not open for debate and may not be contested.
In the interest of time, only one entry per person is permitted.
Should players wish to participate as a group, they may all enter together. Should a group entry be named one of the winners, all members of the group will receive the associated prize.
If an account has already participated in a group entry, it will not be eligible to participate in any other entry, either as a member of a group, or individually.
Winning entries will be chosen by a panel of judges appointed by Ankama.
Entries will be judged based on how well the scene in question was recreated, as well as creativity and originality.
By submitting an entry to the Contest, each entrant agrees to comply with and be bound by these Official Rules and acknowledges that the decisions of Ankama shall be final and binding in all matters relating to the Contest.
The participants grant the organizer the right to use their entries for any promotional means (Publication in the Dofus Manga, Dofus Magazine, on their websites, etc.) without any financial or other reward.

Foggernauts are bringing the pressure!

Mon, 14 May 2012 17:00:00 +0100

They’ve spent centuries at the bottom of the ocean… but the truth always rises to the surface! These people of the sea are coming to add a new flavor to the characters classes in the World of Twelve: exotic poise, mysterious submarines and an innovative gameplay style that will be revealed soon…

Who are the Foggernauts? Why have they decided to return to the surface?
What are their intentions towards the land-bound nations?
These aquatic deep-sea dwellers still hold many secrets, but soon you’ll have a chance to personify their class in-game and make some serious waves!

A new class is surfacing…

Thu, 10 May 2012 17:00:00 +0100

It all went down on the shore of the Asse Sea. Archaeologists and scientists stormed the beaches to study a new phenomenon! Wading out into the ebbing tide on stilts, they scanned the surf, sand and, escarpments. Elsewhere, the militia was interrogating a trembling witness, the sailor known as Booper. What did he see?

The facts revealed the following: in the middle of the night, as Maysial 9th was fading into the morning of Maysial 10. At approximately 3:33 am, Booper (a sailor of stout figure, but no fainting flounder) was loading up his boat for a day of fishing. Then, things got… odd.
“The atmosphere was strange… there was no wind. The sea was like a mirror, flat, smooth, almost no waves. Then, I heard a rustle. I turned around, but saw nothing. Then, I heard a splash in the water, like the sound of a Snapper hunting a Moskito… But that wasn’t the source…"

The unnerved sailor went on to say that he had seen the unthinkable: humanoid silhouettes emerging from the water! Silently they surfaced, dressed so strangely that he could not be certain if they were men or machines… all he knows is that one of them spotted him and flashed him a stare so hard and cold that his heart nearly stopped on the spot! And then, overcome by the memory, Blooper swooned dead away, leaving the puzzled militia to try to make sense of his story…

Monster Mash: Rise of the Runner-Up

Sat, 28 Apr 2012 02:03:27 +0100

You suggested monster! Then, you voted! Now it's time to outfox some foxies!! Amakna will be full of KITSOUS from now until 7:30 AM (GMT+1) on Tuesday morning!

It's a server-wide invitation to PARTY!

For the last three months, we have been running polls on Dofus.com, and one on our Official Facebook Page to ask YOU which of three monsters that were suggested by players on the forums you wanted to hunt. And out of the 9 monsters that have been available to choose during that time, only four ever got to be in the spotlight... of pain.

But THIS month, we gave the monsters that came in second a chance to shine. The choices this month were Kitsous, Treecklers and Kwaks - all monsters that came in second on previous MM polls. And this time, you chose to elevate Kitsous! That means this weekend you can pluck the silvery hairs off the fluffy tails of the hordes of flighty foxies all around the Amakna area!

And, we've even hidden an extra special set of monsters somewhere in the Amakna realm. That's right, this month, we've added Kitsou Archmonsters! But you'll have search tirelessly and fight your hardest to capture them. Here's a little hint:

Don't forget, the Monster Mash is also an occassion for the entire EN community to come together and hunt some awesome monsters for everyone's benefit! So while you're out there in Amakna this weekend, invite someone you don't know yet to join your group, help a newbie get a level, or just say "hi" to the other people you run into. There'll be plenty of monsters for everyone, it's ok to relax and share!

These monsters will be spawning in and around Amakna on Rushu, Rosal, Shika, Solar, Zatoishwan and Dark Vlad until the maintenance hits at about 7:30 AM on Tuesday morning. As you know, Kitsous are too sly and sneaky to make the first move, so they won't aggress you.

Don't forget, the Monster Mash is a community event where you suggest the monsters, then you get to pick the ones we spawn! If you have an idea for a monster you'd like to see on a future Monster Mash poll, suggest it on the forums!
