Mjolnerd posted:that actually looks... good? Did you buy into the early access? I didn't kickstart it, but I have bought the EA version on Steam. I enjoyed it a lot and plan to go back to it when the story mode is complete (and when all five classes are in, but they are now). You can do some mindbendingly kick-rear end things in it. Boardman21 on YouTube is a good starting place both for gameplay and teaching.

Last Epoch is pretty good for a traditional arpg. It really needs multiplayer to take off and even though they've promised it, they have no timetable for when it's actually coming. Magic Legends is structured a lot more like Destiny. Missions are broken up by overworld activities that include a decent bit of grinding. There's also already way too many currencies which is a cryptic hallmark.

Just popping in to say this is looking really good. The devs just released a video on their equipment system, in short gear has swappable mods, if you find a duplicate piece of gear instead of having a dupe piece in your inventory you can swap the mods, there’s different rarities to the gear and the gear is cosmetic. Looking good so far, but then I thought the same about Wolcen too.

This being cryptic, what is the catch / requirements in using this feature? I just picture there being a currency that requires grinding and is limited.

eonwe posted:how MMO-y is this gonna be It's more like destiny than a full mmo. There are several overworld maps with public objectives to do broken up by individual missions that can be que'd for individually or with a group. The missions scale up in difficulty as your gear and deck improves. Some of the missions are straight forward diablo rift style missions with a boss arena at the end. Others are sort of timed objective score based maps where you capture points or defend objectives.

If you're familiar with Cryptic's other MMO based on a Wizards of the Coast property, Neverwinter, it's almost certainly going to be the same fundamentals.

But if Hubert Waddlefarb grinds for 16 hours, that doesn't put money in Cryptic/Perfect World's pockets, unless... A dude posted:If you're familiar with Cryptic's other MMO based on a Wizards of the Coast property, Neverwinter, it's almost certainly going to be the same fundamentals. Exactly. When you hit top level at Neverwinter after a week, progress from then on is 100% gear-based. You can run raids for gear, but the very top gear is crafted. And if the very top gear is +17 platemail, you'll find that crafting it requires 56 units of adamantine, and you also need a Flawless Hammer to craft it, and the hammer must be forged of pure Aspergium, and soaked for a week in gamer girl bathwater, and so forth. All these things cost Astral Diamonds, and all ways to get them are very strictly timegated, except for paying real money. So, at the very top level, the best build for the Magic MMO will require at least three colors, and those will require rare lands to function consistently, and 'binding' the rare lands requires a handwritten note from Urza and a lock of Chandra's pub^H^H^Hhair, and all those require Black Lotuses to buy, and all ways to grind Lotuses are timegated, leaving Hubert with no choice but to reach for his credit card.

eonwe posted:how MMO-y is this gonna be it reminds me more of Diablo 3, with a bunch of swappable Build Components and a kind of actiony battlefield to deploy your moves on Gynovore posted:speculation about crafting, plus a weird reference to Chandra Nalaar's pubic hair for some reason? gross dude they have talked about the crafting/gear/drops in various videos, you can see the grooves they've made for themselves:
so my speculation is that accumulating a library of most of the spells will be pretty easy, and gear will probably be pretty interchangeable, but artifacts will be purchasable in lockbox form, and the various upgrade currencies will all be economized to push you towards various lockboxes and cash-shop bundles there's also the thing where you get one character class for free, and have to buy the others later, that part will probably be another funnel towards money-paying EDIT: there's plainly enough mechanical clicky-bits that I'm gonna be loving with this for a while at least LordSaturn fucked around with this message at 20:42 on Feb 21, 2021 |

In order to upgrade your spells and gear you need refined Aether. You can only refine 10,000 aether per day. You can however buy refined aether with real money currency (zen) from other players. F2P players can sell aether for zen to other players. That's your time gate / pay to win function in Magic Legends.

I guess I might have missed this but have they actually talked about the game structure at all? Having all these currency exchanges and sinks is great and all but I feel like I have no idea what you're actually doing hour to hour. Also unless I missed it in that article having a battle pass that does not fully refund itself seems like a bad move.

Is there a campaign? Is there a D3 adventure mode analogue? It's an MMO that seems focused around grinding perpetually better versions of the spells so what's the carry on/post-game mission structure? Go do this one adventure/map/mission over and over for these four drops? Just that kind of stuff in general honestly, if it's easier to just point me at VODs that's fine too.

seems like Destiny-style - a hub world with instanced combat trials i.e. quests. beat the combat, proceed to the next quest. don't know if they've talked about post-game yet here's the VODs https://twitch.tv/beamagiclegend

Polygon — Hands-on with Magic: Legends, entering beta on PC March 23quote:So how much content is available at launch? The game’s developers told Polygon to expect about 30 hours out of the gate, with somewhat less required to unlock all the basic spells for the game’s five planeswalker classes. Beyond that, repetition is the name of the game. You’ll be able to team up with other players to tackle particularly challenging difficulty levels, and get rewarded with all the building blocks you’ll need to craft new cards and improve old ones.

Watching the official Twitch stream today, Cryptic has done a lot of work on the presentation. Visually much more interesting game. Just a question of whether or not it will be fun to play. I last played the prep-alpha and was not impressed at all, but that was a long time ago at this point. Am really hoping this ends up a good game. Cryptic MMOs tend to be pretty basic at the start, but really grow overtime and get better.

Every piece of D4 footage has looked very bad, which granted the game is apparently still trying to figure out what it wants to be even after it got refactored like four times before being announced and D2 rerelease is not a meaningful thing to other new ARPGs existing. Mind you I don't think this game is gonna be super great irrespective of these things. E: To clarify on the D2 point, the people that have been playing D2 this whole time are going to keep playing D2, the people who are nostalgic are going to go back for a few weeks or a couple months and then things'll continue on as they always do, all of us thirsting for the next ARPG disappointment.

The ARPG of most interest right now is Last Epoch. I've not played in a few iterations, but it definitely recaptured the D2 feel. E: and I already mentioned it last month, sorry.

I mean, Blizzard is regressing to DoNt U hAvE pHoNeS?? so as long as Magic Legends is better than that, they're probably doing alright, it pretty much just has to compete with the D2 remaster, unless d4 turns out to be actually good. Also some people are still boycotting blizzard because of their stance on hong kong.

Don't wait on Diablo 4 either, Magic Legends is beating it to market by 2 to 3 years, it's not coming out anytime soon. Diablo 2 Remake is maybe releasing this year, but then it's finished, the dev team is moving on after launch. Last Epoch, and Path of Exile 2 right now are the other action RPGs to be excited about currently.
