Magicka anyone?

[Morden Tral]

Yeah prophet, i think we should just consider summon elemental and zombie as a banned spell for the time being. Games a lot more fun without it.

[Jekate]

Yeah. Let's just quad beam all the enemies.

[#zx.pr0jk]

Just so everyone knows, when any of the weather effects are happening,

(weather element)+shield -> selfcast

So if it's raining, and you're wet, cast water+shield->selfcast and you will be dry, and can't get wet until the water immunity is gone. Same goes for all the other elements. No more, "can't res you, it's raining"

This works really well with blizzard. Use cold immunity(cold+shield->selfcast) then cast blizzard and you won't suffer any of the slow effects.

Obviously this can be extended to thunderbolts and thunderstorms with lightning immunity.

Meteorshower... I'm guessing you use earth+fire shield for physical and fire immunity.

Opposing elements can't be defended against at the same time, but you can defend against any amount of elements that fit in the same bar with shield. duplicates of the same element affects the range of the immunity aura. That's what the swirling glyphs on the ground are.

----------------------


Beholders are best taken care of by defending their first volley, then hitting them with a cold beam, or cold spray to freeze them. They sweat after their first volley, maybe during it.

[Morden Tral]

Oh..and WUT


Summon Phoenix      

 Summons a Phoenix at the casters location, dealing fire damage to everyone nearby and reviving all fallen wizards.

Awe yea

So far i've beaten two bosses by stooping them with shields and then placing mines behind them.
This casues them to fly out of the level, past any walls, and die.
Got stuck in a well too

Pretty fun though. I'm having a hard time giving up the M60 for another weapon.

[#zx.pr0jk]

M60 is useless against armored targets. Eventually, most of the enemies become armored, including the goblins.

When/if you get thunderbolt, practice casting it until you've memorized it. One shot kill on most enemies, including the armored ones.

I'm modding the xml files for wave spawning and making a super hard challenge map. The default is just way too easy.

Also it'll be useful because if I add 10 waves and we actually complete the damn thing we'll be top of the ladder. Because all these faggots massing zombies and elementals to beat the stock game don't deserve to be there.

Last night me and jekate and two randoms took on a variation that added a beholder to every level and three to the first wave and 3 to the finals and beholder only waves.

It was much harder and enjoyable then default, you just had to remember to lightning immune at the start of every level. One of the play throughs though I found a staff of lightning immune and it was kind of cheap.

[Morden Tral]

Hmmm after posting about it in the steam forums I seem to have insulted some child that feels that increasing the difficulty is the worst thing ever because I can be top of the ladder because of it.

He seems to have missed the point.

[Morden Tral]

Pathc it out, and most of the major crashes should be gone...gogogogogo

[philliyxx]

woot

can you upload it here?

[Morden Tral]

It goes in: C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\magicka\Content\Levels\Challenges

Just make a backup of the same file and use this one.

Oh yeah and only the host needs it. It's just adding extra beholders to every level but if we ever beat it i'll make an even harder on, right now we got raped on level 19 twice and never got to 19 besides that.

[Jekate]

Another patch is out. One fix being shield sync'ing. YEAH!

[Morden Tral]

Whoooot
