Magicka

I really like the game, but it seems to have a lot of missed potential. There are so many combos but anything that isn't a laser sucks since the range is too short, earth combos need too much charge time to travel any significant distance and deal noticeable damage. Also getting stunlocked in single player is really annoying since there's nothing you can do except spam self heal and pray they kill each other and allow you to break free.

Still multiplayer is a blast and we should try to get some games going since a lot of people seem to have this game.

yep got it as well

The lazer beam of death steam+lightning+arcane is awesome also rock+water then rock+ice = very slow wet objects for your LBOD or if you are moving from a blob mob then self AOE water and ice.

Also shield+selfcast and heals will boost the shield strength as it weakens + rebound any laser beams Grin

On stun locking if you shield yourself, you wont need to spam heals as much and can do a rock+fire selfcast AOE for knock down and stun. Quick freeze and knock them down again. Can shatter them if they are armoured.

I learned today that self shield was the main reason I got stunlocked, when self shielded any attack will knock you down so while you take no damage you can't do anything.

I've reached Khan and he's the biggest asshole in the game, took me ages to beat him.

Wait til you fight Grimnir - thunderbolts instakill.

That doesn't sound too bad, you can just self lightning shield, there's no shield that blocks a giant asshole from ramming you into a corner and repeatedly bash your head while you're helpless.

Buggiest game I've ever bought, got a bluescreen because of it today.
Still fun though Grin

I love my ents. Beat Khan in 5 sec with my pet tree as tank.

Here's a little clip from some other fight:

I played the demo a bit. It's a very good game, too bad my mouse (Logitech G500) doesn't want to middle click without brute force. Last time I'm buying expensive mouses from Logitech.

cant connect to friends game and he cant connect to mine.
It seems hamachi is required for this.

edit: we could do one game, it crashed when falling to the hole, then we could not see each others games.

Finished the game, was a pretty good ride. I'm now doing new game+ where I'm restricting myself to not use any murderbeams and it's a lot more interesting. Summoning an army of elementals or sheilding myself and casting both thunder storm and meteor storm is a lot more satisfying.

Oh and fuck yetis.

Try changing the port to a open one that is used by other public software.

My recommendation would be in the range of 6995-7000. When me and Tom played I used 6998, and whenever I've hosted a game, that is the port I've used.

I thought that they disabled the port specification because it was redundant i.e. it will always use the same port regardless?
