  It was put on steam a month ago, the population seems to have soared quite a bit since then because of publicity. Astrub is almost always packed full of people, and it's free now to. There was also a big revamp in terms of combat, so everything is generally a lot easier than before.

  any detail on combat revamp?

  
  
  As far as I can tell, it's mostly a difference of stat-distribution and gear bonuses.
  
  It seems like many "sets" either had their bonuses taken out of reduced in favor of players mixing and matching based on individual gear pieces' stats.
  Seems to be a lot more gear boosting general damage % instead of just individual elemental damages as well as more things raising crit and whatnot.
  
  Seems like because of the fact that you don't really have to strive for set bonuses that much anymore, crafted gear seems more useful.
  Always nice to have crafting not be useless.
  
  Stat distribution got changed too, in a little complicated, but sort of not really, sort of way.
  You have 4 categories of stats, let's say A, B, C, and D.
  
  You get one point in one for each level, then you get a point in the next for the next level.
  Like...
  
  Level 1 (you begin here, so no point)
  
  Level 2 You get 1 point to spend in category A
  
  Level 3 You get 1 point to spend in cat. B
  
  Level 4 Cat. C
  
  Level 5 Cat. D
  
  Level 6 point for Cat A again
  
  and so on in that order
  
  There's another category for special bonuses like raising your AP/MP/etc, but that one gets points sparingly (first point to spend in that category comes at level 25)
  
  
  Each category has its own choices of what to spend that point on.
  
  Category A is Intelligence with bonuses like
  
  1. +% Max HP
  2. +all resists
  3. +regen based on lost HP
  4. +bonus to heals received
  5. Life steal
  
  
  I think Category B (Strength) gives you choices of either:
  1. ~ 4. Individual Earth/Fire/Wind/Water Resist + General Damage
  5. ~ 8 Individual elemental resist + Flat Bonus to Max HP
  
  Cat C (agility) is stuff like
  Dodge/Lock/Lock&Dodge/etc
  
  Cat D (Chance) is like
  Crit Chance/Crit Damage/Heal Bonus/Back Attack Damage/Back attack resist
  
  
  
  The combat itself seems mostly unchanged. Still grid-based turn-based strategy rpg.
  Although I have noticed that dungeons now also have Normal Modes and Easy Modes.
  
  Not sure on the exact differences between them, though.
  (blah blah blah i ended up writing a lot...)

  Basically, the stat revision works like this:
  
  At cap or 160 currently you get 40 stats in each category except the special category where you get 1 point at 25, 75, 125, 175.
  
  At level 200 eventually, you will have 50 stats and 4 in special.
  
  The last category gives special stats like An extra Ap, movement + 20% general damage, Range + 40% damage, +2 Wakfu points, +2 Control +40% damage, final resistance, final damage, and +10 kit skill.
  
  
  It adds a lot of diversity than before where you had to budget a minimal amount of points into stats.
  
  
  It is easier to grind, however some mobs have been modernised to the new revamp. Shhhudoku is bullshit hard, and will whale away on you.

  I was hoping they'd go back to dofus system. I love the stat and skill system in that game.

  Well, is it any good? I have seen the show. it's... okay I guess. Kinda boring and predictable but the art and lore are both interesting.

  They did change lock in favor for the target getting locked. Instead of having a % of getting locked, now the game gives you an ap and/or mp penalty (or none with high enough dodge) for escaping a lock. Since its easier to get dodge now, a higher with a moderate amount of dodge can escape quite easily by having excess ap and mp.

  In the case of having a good amount of dodge...
  It can be pretty funny.
  
  I'm playing a Cra, and they have a skill that escapes lock by backing up...
  And currently, it'd cost more to use that skill than to just manually walk away from the enemy. xD
  
  In most cases, anyways. That skill's not levelled up, so it's not at its minimum cost yet.
  
  But still, kinda funny.
