    I played this game for years and was very addicted, so there are definitely many, many great things about the gameplay and social aspects.

I eventually quit, however, because as you get into the very high levels of the game, there are only two ways to play: sub more accounts and play multiple characters simultaneously to build up your team and conquer dungons; or scrape the barrel and hope your friends have characters that are complementary and can help you finish the requisite dungeon. Since many rare drops are directly related to the zone and monster you fight your options for dropping good loot are limited. Having said that, there's more than one way to get yourself the gear you want. You can try to play the market or level some professions and then charge people for your services. However, all of this is slow, tedious, and plodding labour, ultimately deterring from the fun of the experience. My recommendation: play until you get tired of the grind then find something else :)… Expand

L'économie ingame et détenue en grande majoritée par des joueurs ayant abusé de failles, du commerce inter-serveur (qui est une belle connerie), utilisant des bot, ou hack.

    Ce qui génère de nombreux problèmes, aucune perspective de tournois pour la plupart des joueurs faute de moyen. Peu d'écoute de la part du support du jeu, et développement du jeu qui s'en fou royalement de votre avis.

    Il y a un pur focus sur l'agent, sur les classes (en jeu) qui pèsent dans la balance budgétaire de l'entreprise.
    Ce qui force et de constaté créer de nombreux écarts et déséquilibre toutes les classes en PVP.
    Et ça ne risque pas de changé, depuis la création du changement de classe, ankama ne fait que ça. Pousser les joueurs à payer un rerool pendant quelques mois, avant de revenir sur le personnage, et en un autre.
    Ainsi de suite.

    Le pvp de ce fait ce retrouve encore une fois totalement menée par les joueurs ayant les moyen de rerool, acheter des stuff pour s'adapter aux méta très rapidement, ou cancer. A l'image de la mise a jour des Prysmaradytes qui a intégrer de nouveau items très fort. Trop fort?, maintenant les joueurs sacrifie leurs dégat, volontairement, pour être tank, car en face ça fait pareil. résultat ? une perte en moyenne de deux tour de jeu, et des abus comme toujours :)

    Le pvm et très bon et c'est la raison principale de ma note. Avec la nouvelle refonte de Pandala de nouveaux monstre sont sortie. Les quêtes sont courte et ça me convient parfaitement. Un fois le jeu réellement compris vous le verrez différemment. Les iA sont simple a comprendre et répète en boucle les mêmes action. Les déplacement un très peu d'aléatoire, et dépendent du votre. N'importe quel boss peut se tomber en monocompte si peu que vous ayant le bon stuff et les bonnes actions quand il le faut.

    Game is fun, but ankama is banning legit players claiming them to be cheater/bot, without providing any proof. While real cheater and bots roam around freely. Almost as if ankama itself is using these bots for their own gain.

    This is not an easy MMO. Don't expect to have your handheld by the game much more than the tutorial. The early content won't put up too much of a fight. make it to even the mid levels while running content at the appropriate level and prepare yourself for a challenge.

    I like to rate things sensibly. So a 6 is by no means bad, but by no means is it any better than 'sort of good'. There's a lot to like about this game - the only implementation of strategy RPG mechanics in an online game, challenging PvP due to this, charming graphics, a multitude of careers, mounts and pets and 12 distinct classes.

There's a lot to like about this game - the only implementation of strategy RPG mechanics in an online game, challenging PvP due to this, charming graphics, a multitude of careers, mounts and pets and 12 distinct classes. The average rating comes from the unnecessarily cruel amount of grinding you have to do for levelling up, advancing careers and dropping items to craft equipment. That, and the developers seem a little confused and haven't expanded the game for a year. Overall it's well worth checking out if you're looking for something different.… Expand

    Great little game! Quaint, small download, easy to play, great social element, great battle mechanics. Gets tedious eventually but then all games do. Combat, to me, feels light years better than the vast majority of MMOs, as does the natural feel of the social element. Class! :)

    I have to say it's a really addicting game with very good social features and that's what differences the game from others. The game itself takes way to long and in order to get more powerful you'll have to start playing with simultaneous accs, wich is boring, because you loose that social touch the game has.

    If you have enough time to play it (I mean like 5 hours free a day minimun) you should at least give it a try, but if not don't bother at all, you'll get bored and end up quiting and playing a more rewarding game, because it will take you a couple of hours to get done only one dungeon, when in any other MMORPG you can do a lot of things in two hours.    … Expand

    People behind the game do not hold any respect towards the players.
    Game is flooded with bots for 10 years straight already, and only couple of actions had been taken against the plague. All those actions only made game harder for players, and not bots. Bot flood means that all encounters are being taken away from players, making certain areas unplayable, and some resources unavailable. It happens especially in 'free to play' zones.
    Players get no attention upon facing a problem, and are only rewarded for taking part in events that are run by marketing team. Moderation team is all but unexisting, leaving you with your problems and bugs alone.
    Beacuse of marketing-orientated development, ran by out-of-touch people, the game changes drastically every year, demolishing and turning useless any character builds you have been preparing for months, spending both of time and money. I witnessed many changes made to please "vox populi". Most of them were just making the game idiot-friendly, while leaving truly overpowered exploits and features untouched.
    Technical issues occur often, especially after untested updates. Ocasionally servers are unavailable for hours, with no reimbursement for lost "premium" time people pay for.
    From pleasant tactical game with a lot of versatility in crafts and combat about 12 years ago it slowly became dumbed down soulless atrocity.
    It keeps getting downgraded in almost every single possible area, especially in new implements.
    Stories, puns, humour, combat, crafts, pvp system, guilds, servers, areas, bosses, mobs - they all went down from well thought and joyful to bland.    … Expand

    I must admit that I was a bit full of trepidation when trying out Dofus for the first time, having liked Wakfu so much and being worried that its predecessor would turn out to be more basic or unpolished. I'm surprised and happy to report the exact opposite, and that I like Dofus' fun approach to traditional MMORPG gameplay even more than Wakfu's open-ended sandbox and social features, which is saying a lot.

    Purely as a game, it's one of those titles that takes a little time getting to grips with the controls and the basic plotlines, but it is time well spent that can result in hours of inside-out pant-wearing hilarity.
