Hey all,
I noticed @Mithmarr talking about Magic: Legends in his intro and since it's a game I'm also waiting, it would be nice to have a topic where we talk about it since the beta is coming on the 23rd of March.
On my side I've bought the Planeswalker pack (as it was 50% off so I thought why not).
Let's use this topic to talk about the game and share experience 😀

I've just registered for the beta! 😎 Noticed the developer is the same one behind Neverwinter and Star Trek Online btw 🧐
Which class would you choose? 😄
- Geomancer
- Mind Mage
- Beastcaller
- Sanctifier
- Necromancer
-
14-03-21Elixor
Yeah it's made by Cryptic studios, I really liked their work on Neverwinter (which I'm playing a bit since the release of MOD20 a couple of weeks ago).
Any chance @Marion we can change the title of the thread to "Magic: Legends topic" (or something like that?) -
14-03-21Mithmarr
@Marion The classes look very well designed and very unique compared to a lot of other games. I can't make up my mind so I think I just have to play around and see which one I like 🙂 Have you guys decided on a class?
-
14-03-21Elixor
I really don't know yet, I haven't looked "enough" into the gameplay of each of them. But if I understand correctly, there is a key concept in the game about "Class switching" so you wouldn't want to pick a "permanent" class it seems (they are more like loadout I believe). Again I really haven't done much research about that game 😁 -

As we are getting closer to the open beta, I'm reading more about the game, and while I always thought about the game to be an MMO, the official website says:
Quote:
Embark on your journey solo or in a group, traversing the planes alone or with up to two other Planeswalkers.
What do you think it means, it that the size of groups/dungeons (3) or simply it's like Diablo 3, MMO where we all play together but each games would have limits to 3 players? -

14-03-21Mithmarr
@Elixor I think it's going to be something like Diablo 3 or Path of Exile
-
14-03-21Elixor
I really hope it will be more like the MMO side of PoE but I think the system will be more like Diablo 3 👹
-
15-03-21Mithmarr
Yeah, I guess we'll just have to wait a few more days and see. I'm guessing it won't be a game that I will be dedicating too much time too but looks like it might be good for a couple of hours here and there with a group of friends. Who knows :)
-
15-03-21Elixor
Definitely the same (unless it is that good!)
We should have a MMORPG megathread @Mithmarr to discuss upcoming releases (although there isn't much happening haha) -
15-03-21Mithmarr
@Elixor Cool yeah I went ahead and made one :)

I quite like this concept of "public quests" where people on the map work together on filling the event bar to 100% to spawn a world boss!

5 days to go and no wipe will be happening once the open beta starts!
Here is the latest trailer "What to expect from the beta"

download.jpg/a>
If you don't have a fast connection, you can now pre-download the game on Arc and Epic Store.
Here is the link I used: https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/magic-legends
I can't see the exact size of the download but based on the % and what I have downloaded so far I would say about 15Gb -

19-03-21MoriMoonpaw
@Elixor Whereee I can't find it. 😭 15 gig doesn't sound like a lot or am I just imagining?
-
20-03-21Elixor
-
20-03-21Elixor
BTW 15Gb isn't much for a fast broadband but if you have a 20Mb broadband it would take about 1 hour and 40 min. (And then the slowest your broadband would be the longest it would take obviously)
-
20-03-21Elixor
Less than 3 day to go. I've checked the details and the release will be:
- 10am PST
- 5pm GMT
- 6pm CET
It seems that some streamers will be able to play a preview version on the 22nd. I've tried to get myself in, let's see haha 😁😁😁 -
21-03-21Elixor
And 2 days to go 😁
I've been checking the news but nothing new it seems.
Only found an "older" strawpoll on which class people want to start with:

Apparently we will be able to "win" a pre-release access tomorrow (22nd) by watching the official stream:
https://www.twitch.tv/beamagiclegend
What "annoys" me is this kind of things:
Quote:
This event is taking place on the live game server, so if you receive a Pre-Release key, your progress will NOT be wiped once the server opens for all players at 10am Pacific on March 23rd.
I feel this is not right, I know it's not a competition or a race, but it creates a "day one" difference between players already. (And I don't have access obviously, would I be able to access the game tomorrow, would I complain? 🤣) (I still would btw) -

I managed to get a key, but I still can't connect to the game 🤣 -

Working this morning (if you had a key last night).

Unfortunately I have to work today, but so far so good. I reached level 4 and here is my feedback so far:
- Maps can have many people in, I was in a starting town and there were about 6 of us at least
- 3 people in an event is the limit at the moment (Instance type of event)
- The battlepass for season is full of skins and there are 50 levels. You can get 15 level "free" for 2400z (which is about 20€ I think, although the pack with 2400z will not be enough you'll need the next one)
- There are some odd framerates issues in Ultra mode, but works fine for me in High
- You can disable shadows with "/shadows 0" in the chat, which helps a lot
- There is a new class accessible via a lootbox (booster) which is pretty odd decision from the devs here
- I see many necromancer (black) and Mind Mage (blue) and Sanctifier (white) but not that many Beastmaster (green) like meme 😁
- The game is definitely free to play, but there will be many reasons you'll want to spend some money (but doesn't feel pay to win so far apart from the new class, but I haven't really look into it enough)
This is me so far after a couple of hours of playing. -

Magic Legends premiere today :-)
You don't have to thank me for reminding you :-)
Have fun, guys! -
24-03-21Elixor
@OhBabyBaby @cyrusnimda @Mithmarr how has the launch been for you?
-
27-03-21Elixor
4 days after launch there has been a couple of patches already with (I think so far) great listening from the dev team.
The main note for me is this:
Quote:
The Dimir Assassin class unlock (and the Nightveil Stalker spell) will now also be unlocked at level 50 of both the Free and Premium Battlepass tracks, so that all players can access this class entirely through gameplay.
This is key to be honest and I'm glad they changed it. Now I wonder what they will do for people who spent quite a lot of try to unlock it through boosters? (I haven't but I feel a bit bad for them)
Here is the full article with all the details:

Great update today and a blog post about changes the future is on the blog here:
https://www.arcgames.com/fr/games/ma...etail/11486433
Important note on the battle pass:
Quote:
the entire community will be granted Battlepass XP equal to 7 daily Battlepass quests plus one Weekly quest.
This is exciting an entire week worth of free XP 😍 -

Thanks, I'm having a lot of fun too, although the controls are more suited to consoles than PC

28-06-21MoriMoonpaw
Guys @Mithmarr @Elixor @cyrusnimda @OhBabyBaby Are you still playing Magic Legends? 😄 I just started this weekend in the open beta, just to get through the tutorial to start with. Playing Necromancer which I'm quite enjoying. Controls are a little strange but could be because I'm not used to it properly yet. Moving around results in accidental spells sometimes 🤣
Maps so far = beautiful! Kinda like LoL it bothers me that I can't see much ahead but one of those things you get used to I guess! (Coming from the more open/wider world games to this one) -
29-06-21Elixor
I just saw the announcement, Magic Legends is closing down on the 31st of October!
https://www.playmagiclegends.com/en/...ticle/11490313
I knew the game didn't do so well but with the support of Wizards of the Coast I did expect the dev team to be able to turn it around. It's a shame but it happens. -
01-07-21MoriMoonpaw
@Elixor I just read this too! How sad! I had just gotten into it 😥
