Finalmente c'è un thread su Magicka Wizard Wars.

[alex9]

Da un po' di tempo volevo fare questo thread ma sono troppo pigro... :D

Meno male che qualcuno ci ha pensato :)

Sul gioco che dire se non che è davvero fantastico: praticamente padroneggiarlo DAVVERO richiede non meno dedizione (e dà non meno soddisfazione) di un moba tradizionale (stile dota 2). Per chi come me ha sempre sofferto il fatto che l'originale magicka fosse quasi deserto sul lato multiplayer, beh questa è la release migliore che ci potesse essere.

L'unica vera pecca attualmente risiede non nel gioco ma nella community: molto semplicemente una media di 1200 persone in game è davvero poco per creare sfide sempre equilibrate. Ciò si vede soprattutto nei duelli uno contro uno più che nella modalità 4vs4. Spero davvero che si cresca di numero ma, onestamente, a vedo assai dura...

Ultima cosa: non è assolutamente un pay to win. Conta solo la skill.

[UnicoPCMaster]

Se vuo ti cedo il thread. :asd:
Purtroppo erano un paio di mesi che non lo giocavo, da prima che passasse in openbeta e solo oggi ho visto che hanno modificato lo store con oggetti acquistabili in corone ed oggetti acquistabili con soldi reali, ma non ho approfondito molto la questione per ora. :D

[alex9]

Casomai spero di non essere l'unico avventore del thread :D

Per quanto riguarda lo store tutti gli items sono presenti in duplice copia: una variante la acquisti con valuta in-game l'altra con valuta reale. Ma gli oggetti hanno le stesse proprietà! Cambia solo il colore. Da segnalare che per comprare gli oggetti più avanzati con valuta in-game devi essere di un certo livello almeno (stabilito a seconda dell'item). Questa limitazione non c'è per gli acquisti con soldi veri: in teoria puoi essere livello 1 e comprarti equipaggiamento end game. Ma la cosa veramente importante è che l'equipaggiamento non fa sostanziale differenza: perchè è vero che aumentano una statistica ma parallelamente ne diminuiscono un'altra. Quindi l'equipaggiamento più pregiato può essere un'arma a doppio taglio: perchè ci sarà un elemento a cui sarai grandemente esposto.

[UnicoPCMaster]

Eh si, questo lo avevo notato, se escludiamo gli oggetti a pagamento con soldi reali ed una quantità di oggetti acquistabili maggiore (e l'aggiunta dei trinket), anche prima aveva più o meno questo funzionamento.
Però non sembra che tutti i vestiti abbiano una variabile acquistabile con le corone: ad esempio ho visto il bundle dell'estate (non sono sicuro del nome) in cui c'è un vestito che non è acquistabile singolarmente e non sembrano esserci varianti acquistabili con le corone.

Hai ragione: i bundle (almeno alcuni) sono acquistabili solo con soldi veri. Ma sono minuzie: e anzi penso sia pensato per permettere di aiutare gli sviluppatori e avere in cambio un qualcosa di esclusivo e tematico che lo mostri a tutti.
Ma ci tengo a precisare, soprattutto per chi magari entra in questo thread non sapendo nulla del gioco, che tutto ciò che compri nello store non è poi così influente: ogni oggetto ha i suoi pro e i contro e si può scegliere di giocare con l'abbigliamento base senza problemi. Anzi io tengo il base proprio perchè così posso variare di più le tattiche senza dover essere legato a un elemento in particolare.

[UnicoPCMaster]

E' vero, anche io ho sostanzialmente giocato sempre con la veste di base combinata con il bastone della velocità, solo recentemente ho aggiunti anelli di velocità ed utilizzato una veste diversa, sempre per la velocità. :D

Edit: sto provando la nuova mappa. :D

Edit 2: ma sai come si fa il balletto? l'ho visto in tutti i trailer... :D

Patchnotes for 25th June 2014
25 giugno - [Pdx] Escher
Hi folks,

Patch notes are below!

Big change number one was an overhaul to some of the network code with regards to hit-detection and general "smoothness" of play, please do feedback on how things feel now.

The second big change was a complete rework on how the matchmaker works, due to the sweeping changes we are very interested in you reporting how things are post-patch, we don't expect it to be perfect (although it should be a huge leap in the right direction) so really do appreciate your feedback!

Oh, big change number three, possibly the stand-out point for the entire patch....you can now switch region in the menu. ;)

We also made some changes to pricing in the store, if you have the grind version of a robe you will unlock discounts for the cash versions! There's also some more new store items, go take a peek.

This week's patch-notes were too big to fit into a Steam post, so please check the below link!

Oh, big change number three, possibly the stand-out point for the entire patch....you can now switch region in the menu.

We also made some changes to pricing in the store, if you have the grind version of a robe you will unlock discounts for the cash versions. There're also some new items, go take a peek!

Network
- Improved smoothness of networked players through a series of changes.
- Fix for administrators moving stuff in store offer catalogues and users not being able to log-in.
- Stability fixes for log-in server.
- Fixed issue where client could get stuck in a valid log-in server state even if connection was down.
- Fixed issue where client connection to log-in server could timeout when connected due to heartbeat.
- Changed log-in timeout (Slug) on client to 2 minutes.
- Split the Sasquatch error message into Sasquatch and Gorilla, for more detailed debugging.
- Fix for Perma-Slug on Steam enabled login and game servers.
- Optimized beam raycasts.
- Telemetry is now flushed every 60 seconds on the game server. This should stop the telemetry from overloading the server.
- Fixed a syntax error resulting in login server crashing when a connection was missing.
- When re-reading a users level details on the login server, we actualy store the stuff localy, not just discard it randomly! This will hopefully slay the Chicken errors.
- Fixed a logic issue on game server making it available to connect to even though it shouldn't be.
- Added local retries when receiving the "failed to retrieve server id" steam network error. Hopefully this should reduce Hagfish errors.
- Fixed an issue where the game server wouldn't unload accounts when removing players prematurely.
- No more store crashes when failing to retrieve offer.
- Fixes a login server crash when the player was not eligable for buying an item in the store.
- The assembly info dispatcher no longer magically assumes a player exists on the login server. This should prevent a bunch of crashes.
- Login server entry state will not try to register itself to the match maker status multiple times now.
- Added quit modal to Tutorial and Training Grounds when losing conection to the game server.
- Better timeouts for EAC to reduce false positives in the form of Saquatches and Dirty Rats.

Matchmaking
- MM connection keeper will now shut down unused socket connection with MM after registration is complete - This is in order to avoid resource exhaustion on MM side.
- Introduction of maximum rating span a player will accept to be matched within - New players will accept only a very narrow band of ratings. This means slower matchmaking, especially if you happen to be placed at the extremes of the scale.
- Slowing down the widening of the rating span containing acceptable players for a match. This means slower matchmaking across the board.
- Reciprocal accept introduced, meaning that you won't get sucked into someone's match just because they happened to have waited a long time. This means slower matchmaking, especially under low-usage periods.
- Downweighting of new players - New players will be, from an MM perspective, matched very lightly. For a time. This means slower matchmaking for experienced players as the new players are removed from their "area" of the rating spectrum.
- Removal of party strength bonus for sub-average players. It takes skilled players to exploit teamwork meaningfully, and should remove the strain of new players having to contend with strong players just because they happen to team up with their friends.

Sound
- Changed sound on the Scaffolding prop in Galdrhöll Halls, since it didn't match the visuals very well.
- Lowered volume on ambience sounds in Galdrhöll Halls level.

Menu
- Change region in menu, no need to restart client anymore.
- Adapted play button, store gui and magick gui to fit localized strings.

UI
- Engine fix calculating correct string width, fixes incorrect line breaks and overlapping strings.
- Use the average between engine caret position and correct string width for actual caret position.
- Corrected mouse position scaling.
- Corrected a colour issue on the Glowing version of the PLAY button.
- Extended PLAY button width and shrunk the wooden Dragon Heads.

HUD
- Correct positioning of match notifications for all aspect ratios.
- Tweaked the color tint of the dead state so that wards and robe colors can be more easily seen.

Weapons
Gungnir tweaks: (these were introduced last patch but the notes disappeared, so here you go!)
- Chain damage changed from 250 to 280.
- Charge time from 0.75sec to 1sec.
- Projectile damage from 462 to 500 (ergo it now shatters again).
- Projectile range shortened to fit approx. one screen.
Other
- Flintlock Pistol projectile range shortened to fit approx. one screen.
- Fixed the hit sounds for weapon projectiles, now every surface should produce some kind of sound.
- Moved Bearded Axe ability damage trigger from 0.35sec to 0.375sec to better match animation.
- Changed Rusty Knife's ability from Shank to Flourish, so it now the grind equivalent of the Sacrificial Dagger.
- Adjusted ability movement for Wrench to follow the animation better.

Localization
- Fixed wrong stat in description for Ring of Speed.
- Added some missing strings in all languages.
- Made "region" in the main menu localized.
- Made the game mode names be the same in setup and play button for German and Russian.
- Fixed typo in German for "Connecting..."
- Added string for redeeming content.
- Added strings for party and friends list to Brazilian Portuguese.
- Added missing string for Death (Grim Reaper) in kill log.
- Rewrote some strings for party functionality.
- Rewrote the Player Rank names.
- Localized damage number system. Uses English as placeholder for untranslated languages.
- Rewrote ability description for Exotic Blade to match updated animation, as it has no second attack.
- Fix for a typo in Polish when creating a new account.
- Fix for a typo for Lab Robe skin 2.
- Changed "pink" into "purple" for the Illusionist Robe skin 3 description. Did I mention I was color blind?
- Localized "assist" strings.

Spells
- Changed so that EDF isn't immune to Water damage. It now gets properly demolished by the essence of wetness.
- Removed arming timers from Bombs. These will have to be properly implemented before they're regarded as a proper mechanic. New testing process, ho!
- Mines and Elemental Storms now belong to separate batches, Barriers/Bombs and Shields still belong to one and the same.
- Beam damage interval changed from 0.3sec to 0.2sec for improved responsiveness. DPS remains the same.
- Earthquakes (!D) now trigger mines to be consistent with other AoEs.
- Knockdown now properly overrides melee attacks.
- Allow Sprays inside Dome Shields (the edge of the shield will still block the spray in both directions).
- Server controlled knockdown damage. This should prevent occasions where two players are able to knock down each other in close succession, as technically the first knockdown should cancel the other.
- Projectile overcharge fixes, the damage should now actually match the charge bar, regardless of affinity.

Magicks
- Meteor Shower effects tweaked to show what actually happens - where will the damage area be and how large was the explosion. For realz this time.
- We now clear the Spell Queue when casting Haste, this so that it is consistent with other Magicks.

Chat
- Moved chat off game-servers.

Store
- Make robe skin the highest priority in the store categories. This makes robe offers slightly less painful to make and display.

Bug/Crash Fixes
- Killed logging of resource packages so we don't spoil the surprises!
- Chill state now also accepts 0 chill damage.
- Fixed possible overflow exploit in sync data.
- Fixed floating damage numbers discrepancies on clients.
- Fixed a few occasions where the wizard would not move even though LMB was held down.
- Fixed an occasional crash in Duel game mode.
- Fixed the physics for the cart near the sheep pen in the default Wizard Warfare map, as it would behave badly when hit by projectiles.
- Speeding Imps fixed.
- Bubble shield overlap check crash fix.
- Fix for beams that sometimes appeared to be shorter than they really were.
- Fix for Weapon and Staff idle effects not triggering when displayed again after being hidden.
- Fixed so that when a weapon is hidden or displayed again (like in some weapon ability animations) the appear/disappear particles cannot be triggered twice in a row.
- Correct familiar now equipped again. Yay Founder Imp!
- The sound environment is now set when you enter a match as well as in game state menu and game state rewards. This means no more echo in the lobby or menu after playing in Galdrhöll Halls!
- Moved the error message in the lo-gin screen to the correct place.
- Correctly tagged textures so that they scale with the "texture quality" in video settings. Low will be really low, but medium will be a lot more performant than before.
- Fix for a crash occurring in Training Grounds when gibbing Timmy the training dummy.
- Made it harder to boost players on top of the logs of the default Wizard Warfare map.

Direi che la cosa più interessante è il "nuovo" matchmaking: finalmente si sono accorti che è meglio aspettare 40 secondi in più a trovare una partita se in cambio si ha un assortimento di giocatori più equilibrato. Evidentemente si sono accorti che i neofiti diventano troppo spesso solo carne da macello: col nuovo sistema all'inizi i nuovi giocatori giocheranno solo fra di loro.

Incrociamo le dita per la tenuta e l'ampliamento della community: davvero non mi spiego il perchè dello scarso successo del titolo finora. Va anche detto che l'advertising su questo gioco è stato davvero minimo: io stesso, grande fan di magicka, l'ho scoperto solo pochi mesi fa...

[UnicoPCMaster]

Si, ma come funzionerà questo sistema? Spero non semplicemente in base al livello.

Per quanto riguarda la community/numero utenti, so solo che ogni volta che ne ho voglia riesco trovare partite senza problemi. :asd:

[alex9]

Non funziona con il livello ma come in tutti i moba (dota 2, league of legends...) con un parametro chiamato ELO. Si tratta di un numero, e più alto è e più dovresti essere forte. Se vinci partite aumenta se le perdi cala ma non sempre della stessa somma: se vinci contro squadre fatte da giocatori con un ELO alto, allora il tuo ELO salirà tanto. Se batti una squadra di gicoatori con ELO basso, il tuo ELO salirà poco. Quindi non è un semplice rapporto fra vittorie e sconfitte totali. Un buon giocatore ha un ELO di 2000 circa in magicka. Il mio è di 1600 :cry:

Quante delle partite che cominci durano più di tre-quattro minuti? ;) Se la player base fosse più ampia potrebbero venire fuori dei match belli tirati, senza una squadra che asfalta l'altra...

Downtime Today at 13:00 CEST - ELO Reset
26 giugno - [Pdx] Escher
Hi all.

We will take the servers down at 13:00 today to apply a mass ELO reset to all players. Looking at the stats we have available it seems this is the best way of getting good results from the new matchmaker's settings.

Taking into account the changes that were made in yesterday's patch, players should now form a traditional bell-curve on the ELO scale as opposed to the strange muddle we had as a result of the prior matchmaking system. This issue was caused by a bug in the system that allowed you to make ELO gains by chewing up players that were far lower ranked than yourself.

The result of us resetting people's ELO should immediately resolve long queue time issues, and in the long term ensure that people are where they should be in terms of their rating.

Edit: oggi mi è crashato ben tre volte. :asd:

[Dantor]

Ciao,
finalmente qualcuno ha aperto un thread su questo gioco, io avevo partecipato alla versione Alpha e ultimamente ho ricominciato a giocare con questa ultima versione (purtroppo ho poco tempo da dedicargli).

Ma sbaglio ho in questa ultima versione i cristalli (per sbloccare le magie), si ottengono solo quando si passa di livello? Nella versione Alpha ricordo che bastava vincere un torneo o un match con un punteggio persolare superiore a 1500 punti....

giochi con un gameplay come questo ne esistono sempre meno, l'abilità della persona fa proprio tanto, e si ha un perfetto equilibri tra le capacità fisiche (ovvero nel eseguire velocemente le magie) e abilità mentali (reagire velocemente e correttamente agli attacchi nemici).

Spero non diventi troppo p2w in futuro, perchè così comè è già un perfetto passatempo.....

[UnicoPCMaster]

Sui cristalli non ho notato quando si ottengono, però ho notato che si ottengono molto più raramente, infatti dall'ultimo aggiornamento non ho sbloccato ancora nessun magick.
Inoltre nelle vecchie versioni in caso di vittoria l'esperienza ottenuta veniva moltiplicata per 1.5, cosa che ora non c'è, invce ora a parità di punteggio vittoria o sconfitta non fa differenza.

Edit: Poco fa avviando il gioco il sistema mi ha chiesto se volevo associare la warlock's robe al mio account, sapete cosa ho fatto per ottenerla? :D

[maxsy]

ciao;

sembra interessante, ma e' solo pvp?

[UnicoPCMaster]

Si, 4v4 e modalità duello.

[maxsy]

Si, 4v4 e modalità duello.

azz peccato. avrei preferito pve+pvp.

magicka invece e' single player?

[UnicoPCMaster]

Magicka è singleplayer, coop ed anche pvp.

[Carlyle]

Magicka in single player mi è piaciuto, ora provo a vedere anche questo qui.

New Goodies in the In-Game Store!

Vedere che questo fantastico e innovativo gioco sta lentamente morendo è una di quelle cose che tolgono, per l'ennesima volta, un po' di fiducia nel genere umano.
Vabbè, beati i giocatori di dota (un gioco vecchio di quindici anni concettualmente): loro saranno sempre tanti...

Today's Update - Gold Crown Prices Lowered Dramaticlly!
12 agosto - [Pdx] Escher
Hi all,

Today's patch was just a small one as we get into the swing of things now the full team is here after the summer vacations.

Changes are as follows:

* Crown prices will be reduced between 25-40%.

* Level Locks for Staffs/Robes tweaked or removed from Tier 1 items. (Depending on how this works we'll evaluate the other level locks.)

* Ingame Starter Packs.
We'll test to sell a version of the starter packs ingame. There's also the opportunity to upgrade between the starter packs. The Archmage pack will not have a giftable apprentice pack nor the ability to name an Imp, and the price

Patch Notes for 19th August 2014
19 agosto - [Pdx] Escher
Hi!

Today brings you our first "proper" patch since we left for vacation. The development team have had their batteries recharged and are ready to start bringing you awesome content again! The main changes this week were the addition of the new "Treasure chest" feature (unlock one each day for a chance at Gold Crowns, Crystals or extra-special exclusive robes) and some big changes in terms of information in the pre-game/lobby screen. You can now see in full detail what your opposition have equipped, even their Magicks!

Full patch notes:

Gameplay
- Speed modifier system rewritten, primarily to deal with problems concerning permanent slowdown/speed up.
- Gear now properly calculates speed bonuses by adding/subtracting their bonuses instead of multiplying, ie two separate modifiers of +4% and +10% provide a 14% boost instead of 1.04 x 1.10 = 14.4% boost.
- Movement speed is now presented in all stat screens as a percentage of the default base speed.
- Movement slowdown when charging projectiles is now removed upon release and not projectile impact. This indirectly dealt with one cause of permanent slowdown.
- "IMMUNE" GUI popup when resisting knockdowns for any reason.
- Partial earth armor now protects correctly against ice.

Spells
- Fix for sprays being blocked by storms.
- Always knockdown both players when their beams collide.
- Self-cast now buffers the input like forward cast.
- Healing is now applied after damage from combined spells such as AWW, to prevent taking damage from a net heal at full health.
- Spell-casting speed now doesn't affect channeling tick rate(would cause self heal to be slower when chilled).
- Magicks can now be selected and queued during spell-casting, this should make it easier to reliably cast Magicks quickly.
- Reduced Death damage on low charged ice projectiles. Reduced charge up time elemental affinity bonus for ice projectiles (i.e speccing into Cold affinity doesn't ramp-up the cast time quite so much).

Localisation
- Added more new strings to all languages, plus some re-translations overall.
- New Amulet of Nullification description.
- Updated Teddy Bear error message.
- Fix for chat commands info string in German referring to SHIFT as CTRL.

Bugfixes
- You can no-longer hit yourself with your own Conflagration.
- Halt key now works as expected when holding down LMB.
- Fixed issue with items not appearing in the store.
- Fixed rare condition which could put login server in closed_for_players state.
- Some rare case UI bug fixes.
- Fire Longsword+1 charge effect now despawns properly when player is killed and/or gibbed.
- Rusty Dagger now has its proper damage template, doing 3 attacks instead of 4.
- Fixed not being able to join training grounds.
- Fix for crash if client eula was accepted but LS was in wrong state.
- Crashfix when dying during extreme lag.
- Fixed broken resolution behavior.
- Don't try to pathfind on the navmesh when in air.
- Fixed potential crash when player is knocked down
- Beam crash fix.
- Projectile charge effect glitch fix.
- Server now destroys all broken connections, should deal with some persistent slugs.
- No longer allow several players to spawn simultaneously at the exact same spawn point, clipping into one another.

Sound
- Bearded Axe impact sound tweaks.
- Some new sounds for Steam spells.
- Fixed distortion issue with Play and Join sounds.
- Changed Gungnir ability sound so it doesn't loop after it's been charged up.
- Weapons can now trigger unique equipment sounds in the menu.
- Fix for the Sacred Beast Horn weapon ability charge sound.

GUI
- Bundle packs offer icons.
- Fixed GUI shader causing visual artifacts.
- Correct calculation of word wrapped text extents.
- Replaced a lot of old GUI with new GUI.

Wizard Warfare has a new map for you to explore, featuring teleportation pads and a few extra sneaky surprises for those who are particularly observant. Oh...and beavers.

The new map features all you could want in a battlefield! Teleportation pads (handy to get from point-to-point fast, 100% success rate, only 60% of wizards experience long term injury!), a tower, wooden wildlife! Who could ask for more?!



Grab three friends, or hop in the queue alone. However you like to play, Displacement Ridge is sure to add a new (4th?) dimension to your Wizard Warfare matches!

Ma, non ho ben capito, è solo una nuova mappa (con qualche feature in più)?
O hanno aggiunto anche una nuova modalità di gioco?

Ad ogni modo è sempre piacevole vedere che il gioco continua ad avere aggiornamenti...

[UnicoPCMaster]

Non saprei, ieri ho fatto solo una partita con la nuova mappa, non ho ancora controllato altro.

Non saprei, ieri ho fatto solo una partita con la nuova mappa, non ho ancora controllato altro.

Ieri ho provato la nuova mappa, carina, molto dinamica e con l' introduzione del teletrasporto lascia spazio a altre tattiche...
Niente nuova modalità di gioco, ma ho visto solo adesso che hanno aggiunto un premio giornaliero da poter richiedere.

[UnicoPCMaster]

Ieri ho fatto qualche partita ed ho notato che alla morte compare un messaggio in cui ti segnala la combinazione con cui sei stato ucciso e suggerisce una combinazione che si sarebbe potuta usare per evitare quella morte.

Mmm ottima cosa in effetti a volte succede di trovarti contro delle combo talmente veloci che non riesci a capire come abbiano fatto a ucciderti cosi velocemente.

Con i gift giornalieri qualcuno è riuscito a ottenere qualcosa che non siano monete? Per quanto mi riguarda solo la prima volta mi hanno regalato una veste... nulla di che...

[UnicoPCMaster]

La daily chest l'ho usata solo 3 volte ed ho sempre beccato un cristallo (e mai uno che potesse servirmi per il magick che sto cercando di risbloccare dall'ultimo reset :asd:).
A proposito, ho visto che sotto il baule c'è una barra con valori x2, x3, ecc.. ho pensato fossero dei moltiplicatori ma posso solo dire che aprendolo ben oltre le 15 ore circa del conteggio (penso un paio di giorni) quella barra era vuota, boh.

Quella barra si riempe con le vittorie giornaliere, non ricordo se solo nel walfare o anche nellla modalità duel. In pratica prima uno gioca cercando di ottenere più vittore possibili poi a fine giornata tenta la fortuna con la daily chest.
Adesso però non saprei dirti se per ogni vittoria corrisponde un nuovo moltiplicatore, ma non credo...

Mi sembra un modo intelligente per invogliare le persone a giocare :)

[UnicoPCMaster]

Cioè con con le vittorie accorcio tempi di attesa per l'apertura del baule?

Comunque poco fa per la prima volta ho vinto 3000 corone.

No con le vittorie dovresti aumentare il moltiplicatore, ogni volta che si apre il baule si dovrebbe avere un piccolissima percentuale di probabilità di ottenere un oggetto raro o di valore... il moltiplicatore dovrebbe aumentare questa percentuale..

La faccenda non mi è molto chiara ma sembra che oggi (o da oggi? boh) gli utenti che hanno già Magicka ottengono "Magicka: Wizard Wars - Paradox Magicka Collection", è una cosa che ho letto poco fa (ed è comparso tra i dlc) ma non ho ben capito cosa comporta, forse è quel vestito che questa mattina mi ha fatto riscattare (Holy qualcosa, diversa da quella ottenuta tramite indiegala, questa qui da +200 vita riducendo la velocità).
Poi questa mattina ho giocato alla grande mentre ora non mi fa accedere (code: cucumber).
Infine segnalo un altro giveaway, questa volta sembra un'arma:

http://www.razerzone.com/cortex/magicka-wizard-wars-giveaway

Però oltre a registrarsi bisogna installare razer cortex, in realtà mi è bastato fare login con quel programma ementre caricava e già nella pagina di prima accedendo mi ha dato il seriale per riscattare l'oggetto, però per il problema d'accesso non ho visto com'è.

La finisco qui segnalando che stando al steamdb presumo ci saranno altri giveaway:

Magicka: Wizard Wars Celebrates a Year of Severely Tested Friendships!
15 ottobre - [Pdx] Escher
STOCKHOLM — October 15, 2014 — Paradox Interactive and Paradox North today celebrated the one-year anniversary of Magicka: Wizard Wars, the game where bad spelling is finally punishable by death. Released in Early Access one year ago today, Magicka: Wizard Wars now has a community of close to 1 million registered users, all of whom (along with anyone else brave enough to play) will receive the gift of a special Imp skin for their helpful in-game monstrosities. In addition, all players who supported Magicka: Wizard Wars early on with the purchase of a Founder’s Pack will receive color versions of the Imp skin to match their Founder Robes in the near future. There will also be a special gift for all players who participated in the Alpha.

Since the game’s debut in 2013, the community has grown significantly, closing in on 1 million players, and the following milestones have been achieved (measured both by magic and science):

25,000 matches of Magicka: Wizard Wars now played on an average day (average of 17 matches per minute)
Over 300 items now available via in-game store (almost one new item per day since the game’s public release)
Over 1,400 bugs annihilated thanks to player feedback, not including updates made for game balance

“The Wizard Wars community never ceases to amaze us, and it’s not just because they can shoot fiery death beams on command,” grins David Nisshagen, Game Director. “When we launched last year, we wanted to give the Magicka fans a game as fun and unique as the original, but with a balanced PvP and a stronger game engine. Now, after one full year of weekly updates, there's a new match of Wizard Wars starting every five seconds. Every added feature, robe, map, or Magick sinceis better than the last, thanks to the constant improvements our players I know you can’t see our faces through those mysterious wizard robes, but believe me when I say we’re all beaming with grateful pride right now.”

Players who log in to Magicka: Wizard Wars between , will receive a special anniversary Imp Skin, available from the in-game store for only one crown.

Magicka: Wizard Wars, which is free to download and play immediately in Early Access, is a spellcasting action (PvP) game where two teams of four wizards each . Warring Wizards combine elements to attack, defend, and generate total confusion in hundreds of ways.


Edit:
Ora ho due Imp: l'alpha imp (già disponibile direttamente in gear) ed il beta imp (acquistato con una corona nel negozio).

http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/images/14/oct/rpsrobe1.jpg

We like Magicka: Wizard Wars a bit, which is why Jim, Adam and Jim again have all written to profess their love. Yesterday was the game’s one-year anniversary, and we’ve consequently got a special RPS-themed in-game robe to give away.

It lets you hurl rocks harder and faster than others, fittingly.

What is any of this?

Wizard Wars takes the frenetic, slapstick violence of Magicka, clarifies the spell system a tad so there’s thousands instead of tens of thousands of element combinations, and then puts it towards creating a free-to-play multiplayer game. It’s technically still in beta, though that’s been open beta since back in May.

This robe, pictured in full below, provides a boost to the wearer’s earth stats, which as mentioned above determines how fine you are at flinging rocks. (It also comes with the “cower” emote, which is equally fitting.)

Alright, how do I get it?

Are you an RPS Supporter and therefore one of our favourite people? You’ve already got it. Log in to the Humble account you used to sign up and you should now be able to redeem a Magicka: Wizard Wars key from the same page you received your lovely Team Fortress 2 Horace Hat. IMPORTANT: new gifts – which we’ll add regularly throughout the year – appear automatically on all active accounts (so if you signed up previously, you’ve got this), but are provided on a first-come, first-served basis to future Supporters and are not guaranteed due to limited numbers.

Are you not an RPS Supporter, and therefore one of our second-favourite people? Then scroll below this dapper image for another chance at getting a key.

Immagine della veste: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/images/14/oct/rpsrobe2.jpg

While we’ll make sure RPS Supporters get free gifts first where possible, we don’t want anyone to feel left out unnecessarily. So here’s another batch of keys distributed via godankey.com. Enter your email address below and a code should be emailed to you shortly – unless they’re all gone, in which case the widget below will deactivate.

Have at it, luvvies.


I have a key! But where do I enter it?

A fine question. This code is a Steam key, which means you redeem it just like any Steam game or DLC – even if you already have the game installed, the process is the same.

1. Launch Steam (or download and install Steam if you’ve not got it already)
2. Click “Games” from the menu bar at the top of the Steam client, then select “Activate a product on Steam”
3. Follow on-screen instructions to redeem Steam key
4. After redemption, Steam will automatically download and install the RPS Robe as a piece of DLC (and if you don’t have the game, it’ll download and install that first)

That’s it. Any questions, email someone.

I’ve no more questions.

Thank goodness. Let us ask you one: how do you feel about us giving away gifts like this – with Supporters taken care of first, but other people able to grab one if quick enough as before? Let us know in the comments. We are, as ever, working out how to do this as we go.

Remember remember the 4th of November! Patch - 10:15 CET
4 novembre - [Pdx] Escher
Hi all,

Changes in today's patch are listed below! Patching will begin at 10:15 CET.

Again, it's a pretty slim-line patch today, we'll let you know soon what we have sketched out in the way of "big things" coming up in the future.

Regarding chest key refunds, I'll try and chase you an update today, thanks for the continued patience!

NPC
- New Amnesiac Imp to remember the 5th of November.

Graphics Settings
- Window will no longer re-size when applying settings.
- Better explanation of aspect ratio.
- Aspect ratio choice now works in all display modes.

Tutorial
- Only the Training Ground game-mode will be available until Magicks tutorial is finished.

Spero abbiano risolto il problema che mi costringeva a giocare in modalità finestra senza bordi, dato che a schermo interno ogni volta che riducevo ad icona il gioco cambiava leggermente la risoluzione costringendomi a riapplicarla nelle opzioni.

Edit: Voglio l'amensiac imp! :D


Edit 2: Finalmente ho beccato qualcosa di non comune dal baule

http://steamcommunity.com/id/PCM4st3r/screenshot/37479739566060189
Ironico che lo abbia beccato oggico con il moltiplicatore x2 (1 vittoria) e ieri con x10 (mi pare una ventina di vittorie) abbia beccato un trinket comune. :asd:

Servers will come down at 10:30 UTC, down-time should be minimal. Changes are below:

First implementation of a "ping system", communicate with team members by clicking the mini-map directly or alt-clicking anywhere on screen. This is just the first version, so very simple, expect changes to come.
New imp on the log-in screen.
Patched a memory leak that was causing issues for players that were logged in for long periods of time.
New "Charm" Magick.

Today we introduced the much-requested ping feature to Magicka: Wizard Wars. You can summon friends to your assistance by simply clicking the minimap or alt-clicking where you stand. Snazzy!

On the theme of friendship, we also added a new Magick today! Use the Tier 2 Magick "Brain Wash" to take control of any previously aggressive NPC unit (yes, this includes Death!), they will follow you around and do your bidding until they meet their grisly end.

Magicka: Wizard Wars Officially Launches on April 28!

New Trailer Celebrates Shift from Early Access to On-Time Access

STOCKHOLM – April 9, 2015 — Paradox Interactive, a publisher of games with intent to conjure, today announced that Magicka: Wizard Wars will be officially released on April 28, 2015. Magicka: Wizard Wars, the free-to-play PvP action game based around the iconicMagicka spellcasting system, has long allowed the launching of flaming boulders, electrified death beams, and hapless imps, but April 28 will mark the official launch of the game itself. The launch will include an all-new game mode and new maps, while several new features will be added to the Early Access version on Tuesday, April 14 in an update that provides players with a sneak peek of what perils await them at the end of the month.

Wizards: watch what waits when Wizard Wars wields wackiness within the world:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=shxoBgtvKTA

As of Tuesday, April 14, Magicka: Wizard Wars will conjure up:
Transgress to Progress: An all-new progression system has been added to the game, allowing players to earn tokens at each level earned, redeemable on the new Masteries Screen for new Magicks, items, and more in a much more customizable fashion. Fashions can also be mastered if Wizards are stylish enough.
Try Before You Die: New Magick Scrolls allow players to sample powerful Magicks before unlocking them, including all-new Magicks like the Frost Bomb and Stasis spells. Decide ahead of time if a brutal sub-zero death is really right for you!
Our Crowning Achievement: A fully revamped in-game economy allowing all items to be purchased for crowns, earnable via gameplay or available for in-game purchase. New Starter Packs are also available, containing big fat piles of Crowns, Mastery Tokens, and Treasure Keys!
For more information on what will be added to Magicka: Wizard Wars next week, combine the elements of “point” and “click” on the upcoming patch notes here:

A new “Soul Harvest” game mode will also be added to the game when it moves from Early Access to regular access on April 28, challenging Wizards to handle new maps, longer rounds, and several new accidental team-based immolations. Magicka: Wizard Wars will remain free to download and play on Steam (the game platform, not the scalding jet of vapor).

“Building this game from scratch together with our great community has been amazing” said David Nisshagen, Game Director for Magicka: Wizard Wars. “We developers owe a huge debt of gratitude to our community for participating in our Early Access campaign—the feedback and ideas are crucial in helping us shape what the game has become and will become in the future as we continue to support the title beyond its initial launch. Now, we can't wait to actually release Magicka: Wizard Wars to the masses!”

Feast your eyes on this smorgasbord of game-play treats that have been whipped up by our Swedish game development chefs!

New Mastery Progression Tree

We've completely reworked how a Wizard progresses in their pursuit of battleground domination. In addition to the store format we have now we have implemented a "Mastery" tree.

Simply put, it's a great big beast of a tree that allows you to choose where you want to specialise your Wizard, you can choose to build along a particular element specialisation, or work on many at the same time. The choice is yours.

Mastery Tokens will be awarded at the end of round, so those unscrupulous Wizards who tend to flee from battle will wish to re-think their decisions.

Important Note: Any existing items you own, regardless where they may appear in the Mastery tree are still owned and useable by you. Anything you owned/could use before theses changes remains the same.


Random Loot at Round End

On the subject of reasons to stick around until the end of a round, random free stuff!

Now at the end of round you can be gifted with any number of goodies, it may be crowns, it could be Mastery Tokens, it could be a robe. Who doesn't like extra chances at shiny stuff? :)

Level Locks Removed, All Items Purchased With Crowns

This one is a biggie. All level locks have been removed from items, as have real-money prices. From here on out all purchases will be made with Gold Crowns.

We heard your feedback about the progression system and decided to do this big overhaul in conjunction with the new Mastery system. Now it is possible to get any item you could wish for in the game at any point you wish (Mastery tree unlocks excluded), just be prepared to put in some effort to earn it!

For those of you sitting on a big Crown stockpile...congrats!


Revamped Magicks Screen

In combination with the Mastery/store rework we've removed crystals as a purchasing currency on the Magicks screen.

NOTE: Although your crystals will no longer be shown in the UI your current total is recorded.

Got a tonne of crystals? The next point is for you.


Crafting Button
You will notice the ominous appearance of a crafting button on the UI. This is not immediately in use yet, but preparation for the crafting system. Expect to see a use for those crystals here.


Stasis Magick

Does the thrill of battle sometimes get a little TOO thrilling? Fancy a break now and then?

If so, the new "Stasis" Magick is for you! You know the little yellow bubble from the start of Duel Mode? You get one of those, whenever you like! Beware: Whatever intended to kill you when you popped your stasis Magick could well still be there to kill you when it wears of...


Frostbomb Magick

This Tier 2 Magick does exactly what it says on the tin, it's a bomb...of frost. Call down a frozen bomb that after a few seconds will explode, dealing Cold damage in an AOE.


Consumable Magicks

Would you rather try-before-you-buy? Like to save your mastery points for something else other than Magicks?

You can now purchase consumable Magick scrolls to enable you to use Magicks you don't yet own for a limited number of charges.

Note: This doesn't change the mechanics of Magicks in any way, or give access to "exclusive" Magicks. It merely allows those who have not unlocked Magicks yet a method of having access to them, they function the same as if you owned the Magick.


Crown Packs/Starter Packs

In order to complement the new store set-up and progression system we have added new Crown packs and Starter packs. Starter Packs will contain a mixture of Crowns, Magick Scrolls and Mastery points.


Netcode Stuff!

Our network coding Wizard is starting to show the fruits of his efforts, the focus so far has been primarily on beams. The new changes should be particularly apparent to those with higher latency.

Note: We have noticed some weird behavior from the Teleport Magick. We are on it.


New Game Mode Button

More news to come on that on Thursday!

Big new patch is rolling out now!
14 aprile - TotalyMoo
Hi Folks!

PLEASE NOTE: Servers are down for maintenance. We expect them to be up and running some time this afternoon (CET). Thank you for your patience.

We really wanted to get some bigger balance changes in before we patched, unfortunately though some extra-thorough last-minute QA meant we didn't have the resources needed. As such please see what we DID fit in below:

[Magicks] Geyser and tornado now has longer telegraphs, tornados speed increased, both magicks now have shorter duration, shorter air time for caught players and longer cast-animation (from 0.8sec to 2sec).

[Magicks] Fixed proper teleport settings (3 years in the making), changed max distance from 10 to 7.5m, min from 2 to 1m.

[Spells] Lightning is now blocked by storms and not barriers, initial arc width reduced from 37.5 to 30 degrees.

As I said, we DID have some other changes on the cards, I'll try and get NDKarlsson to pop onto the forums with a post and we can have a proper chat about them. :)

Additionally, these are the changes you will see rolling out today.

New Mastery Progression Tree
We've completely reworked how a Wizard progresses in their pursuit of battleground domination. In addition to the store format we have now we have implemented a "Mastery" tree.


Simply put, it's a great big beast of a tree that allows you to choose where you want to specialise your Wizard, you can choose to build along a particular element specialisation, or work on many at the same time. The choice is yours.


Mastery Tokens will be awarded at the end of round, so those unscrupulous Wizards who tend to flee from battle will wish to re-think their decisions.

Important Note: Any existing items you own, regardless where they may appear in the Mastery tree are still owned and useable by you. Anything you owned/could use before theses changes remains the same.

Random Loot at Round End
On the subject of reasons to stick around until the end of a round, random free stuff!

Now at the end of round you can be gifted with any number of goodies, it may be crowns, it could be Mastery Tokens, it could be a robe. Who doesn't like extra chances at shiny stuff? :)

Level Locks Removed, All Items Purchased With Crowns
This one is a biggie. All level locks have been removed from items, as have real-money prices. From here on out all purchases will be made with Gold Crowns.

We heard your feedback about the progression system and decided to do this big overhaul in conjunction with the new Mastery system. Now it is possible to get any item you could wish for in the game at any point you wish (Mastery tree unlocks excluded), just be prepared to put in some effort to earn it!

For those of you sitting on a big Crown stockpile...congrats!

Revamped Magicks Screen
In combination with the Mastery/store rework we've removed crystals as a purchasing currency on the Magicks screen.

NOTE: Although your crystals will no longer be shown in the UI your current total is recorded.

Got a tonne of crystals? The next point is for you.

Crafting Button
You will notice the ominous appearance of a crafting button on the UI. This is not immediately in use yet, but preparation for the crafting system. Expect to see a use for those crystals here.

Stasis Magick
Does the thrill of battle sometimes get a little TOO thrilling? Fancy a break now and then?

If so, the new "Stasis" Magick is for you! You know the little yellow bubble from the start of Duel Mode? You get one of those, whenever you like! Beware: Whatever intended to kill you when you popped your stasis Magick could well still be there to kill you when it wears of...

Frostbomb Magick
This Tier 2 Magick does exactly what it says on the tin, it's a bomb...of frost. Call down a frozen bomb that after a few seconds will explode, dealing Cold damage in an AOE.

Consumable Magicks
Would you rather try-before-you-buy? Like to save your mastery points for something else other than Magicks?

You can now purchase consumable Magick scrolls to enable you to use Magicks you don't yet own for a limited number of charges.

Note: This doesn't change the mechanics of Magicks in any way, or give access to "exclusive" Magicks. It merely allows those who have not unlocked Magicks yet a method of having access to them, they function the same as if you owned the Magick.

Crown Packs/Starter Packs
In order to complement the new store set-up and progression system we have added new Crown packs and Starter packs. Starter Packs will contain a mixture of Crowns, Magick Scrolls and Mastery points.

Netcode Stuff!
Our network coding Wizard is starting to show the fruits of his efforts, the focus so far has been primarily on beams. The new changes should be particularly apparent to those with higher latency.

Note: We have noticed some weird behavior from the Teleport Magick. We are on it.

La nuova modalità di gioco Soul Harvest è disponibile.

Paradox Interactive Officially Declares Magicka: Wizard Wars Upon the World

https://res.cloudinary.com/hcuyhhorh/image/upload/c_limit,w_670/v1430226366/chaardaacge6wi0cmyzg.jpg
STOCKHOLM – April 28, 2015 — Paradox Interactive, a publisher of games that loves the spell of napalm, today announced that Magicka: Wizard Wars has officially launched worldwide on PC. Magicka: Wizard Wars, the free-to-play player-versus-player (PvP) action game based around the iconic Magicka spellcasting system, has finished its Steam Early Access period and is now available as a general release. Today’s launch includes an all-new game mode, “Soul Harvest,” for the more strategically-minded sorcerer, where Wizards will have to worry about fighting AI creatures and monsters in addition to their opponents, all while dodging the always-on friendly fire of their own well-meaning teammates. Magicka: Wizard Wars is free to download and play at www.wizardwars.com/.

Take a look at all the new features Magicka: Wizard Wars has to offer in the brand new release trailer here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWLENZk-TyM

In Soul Harvest, player-Wizards play a 4v4 match where each team must reach and destroy a magical effigy possessed by the opposing team. In order to destroy the effigy’s defenses and reach the target, players must collect souls by casting deadly spells upon AI monsters roaming the map – or upon enemy Wizards. True to the on-the-fly strategies and action of Magicka,there are no lanes, last-hitting, or levels in Soul Harvest – only pure skill at spellcasting and picking the right magic for the right moment. It’s never too late for a comeback!

“Obviously the launch of a game is a momentous occasion, and it’s definitely a relief to have it officially out there after two years,” said David Nisshagen, Game Director for Magicka: Wizard Wars. “Our job is certainly not over yet, however. Our players have been with us every step of the way, supporting us, giving us crucial feedback, and helping us make a Magicka PvP experience that feels right. We couldn’t have gotten to this point without them, and now that we’ve launched, we’re going to stick by them to keep the game growing, evolving, and repeatedly setting everybody on fire in new and unexpected ways.”

Magicka: Wizard Wars, which is free to download and play on PC, challenges two teams of four Wizards each to go head-to-head in intense PvP action. Utilizing the celebrated spellcasting system – and the chaotic friendly fire – of Magicka, Wizards combine elements to attack, defend, and generate total confusion in hundreds of ways in multiple game modes: Wizard Warfare, Duel Mode, and today’s new addition, Soul Harvest.

Aggiornamento di circa 374mb che aggiunge una nuova mappa per la modalità Soul Harvest:
http://steamcommunity.com/games/202090/announcements/detail/155715702517053388

New Map for Soul Harvest Released!
5 maggio - [Pdx] Escher
Read below for the full patch notes:

SOUL HARVEST MAP 2

A brand new map for the Soul Harvest game mode. It's a smaller and more intense map, with some new timed activities and a different disposition of NPC's. Twice the trolling so to speak. ;)
The biggest issue the dev team sees with the current Soul Harvest is that the rounds take too long time - players quit and it's incredibly annoying for everybody.
We will begin tracking quitters and are working on a "cooldown" system that makes quitters cool down before they can play again.



SOUL HARVEST TWEAKS AND BUGFIXES

Lowered Required Souls to 200, from current 300. This should reduce the match length towards the target of 12-15 minutes.
Removed an exploit where players could become immune to Effigy sentry damage. Please play nice, k?
Magic Missiles are now correctly stopping their sounds, also removed 2 turret loops, so only 1 is played per base.
Lowered volumes for Effigy and Magic Missiles.
Trolls and Orcs now break through barriers visually.
Remaining Effigy Sentries are destroyed on Win.
Mortar Goblins are now immune to their elements and related status effects, and weak to the opposite element.
Announcement text added for Focus pick-up.
Gamemode timer synced with log and UI.
Proper post mortem UI text spacing.


XP BOOSTERS

We are testing our new Achievement system and celebrate this by using it to give you a free 24h booster! Oh, and we have great plans for the boosters in the near future. If you have one, you won't be disappointed!



SCORING

Lower XP reward for killing NPC's, more XP reward for Soul pickups.
Made it easier to do an "assist" (changed the damage tracking duration to 15 seconds instead of 5 seconds).


MAGICKS

If a player selects a Magick to cast and then switches to another Magick in the same category, the placement indicator of the first Magick will no longer be displayed on the ground.
It's now possible to change Magicks with caps-lock enabled.
The Geyser Magick now applies the wet status effect as intended.


TUTORIAL/TRAINING GROUND

PLAY button glow is now removed if you join a party during tutorial.
PLAY button no longer stroboscoping when joining/leaving party during tutorial.
Custom match button disabled during tutorial.
Crowns/boost buttons disabled during tutorial.
Added "back to menu" button in training grounds.


SPECTATOR MODE

Hide mouse cursor if not moving it.
Improved kill log color coding for spectator mode.
Brightened red color, should be more friendly for video compression.


SETTINGS SCREENS

Graphics settings quality presets now works as intended.
Quality setting for lighting no longer interferes with anti aliasing.
Keybindings reset to default.
Changes discarded when exiting settings without acceping changes.
Arrow buttons now make sound when you click them.
Audio settings mute sound now also mutes music.

Grazie per i continui aggiornamenti, è un po che non ci gioco, anche per il fatto che ho cambiato pc e mi tocca reinstallare tutto.
Ma almeno qui posso trovare tutte le modifiche apportate senza dovermele andare a cercare in giro per il web :D

Tu che lo segui di più, secondo te è migliorato negli ultimi mesi? Dopo il rilascio ufficiale la community aumentata o peggiorata?

[UnicoPCMaster]

A me tutto sommato sembra migliorato, cioé anche io per un bel pò non ci ho giocato ed in certo senso non riesco più a giocare efficacemente come una volta ed in questi giorno sto provano un bel pò la nuova modalità soul harvest, in fin dei conti è una versione base del gameplay di magicka e becco sempre gente, non mi basta altro per svagarmi. :D

Important Update Regarding Magicka: Wizard Wars
21 aprile - [Pdx] Escher

It’s with regret that we have to announce that we will be closing down our servers for Magicka: Wizard Wars as of July 21st 2016.

When the decision came to halt development on the game we left the servers open so that our small but passionate player base could still continue to enjoy the game as it was, we hope that this has been a fun time for you all (the odd server gremlin aside)! Unfortunately though we have reached the point where we can’t economically justify to continue running the costly server infrastructure. To make things clear, these last 9 months haven’t been a money-making exercise for us (for the most part server costs weren’t covered) we simply wanted to let those of you who loved the game play for as long as was possible.


Wizard Wars was a project close to our hearts, and although the original Dev team are now working on other projects within the Paradox organization We still have fond memories!


How will the shutdown work?


Servers will remain open for a period of 3 months from today.

Shortly before this post all items/bundles with a real-money cost have been removed or converted to be purchased with in-game crowns only.

We will do our best to introduce any old content we have collecting dust in our archives, so you may see some new bits and pieces appearing (Not 100%, depends on work needed, we will try though!).


Should you have boosters active that expire AFTER 21st July 2016 please contact our support (www.paradoxplaza.com/support) and we can look into refunds where appropriate.

Finally a big thanks from all of us who’ve worked on the project, to you, the fans. The passion and feedback from you throughout the whole development of the game has been nothing short of awesome!
