Looking now I also see that buff spells dont require a certain weapon... obviously this might change as the game progresses... but I like that you can cast fireballs with a massive hammer. you need to be able to focus on the spell.
And for those that want to run around with a massive hammer and cast spells youll need a talent such as battle mage... ability to cast magic while heavily armed.
@Gothix said in Requisite for casting magic:
I can see devs implementing "small cooldown" on weapon switching, so players could just use keybinding to switch weapon all the time and cast everything in succession and hit the target as well.
Realistically, having certain spells "require certain weapon equipped" makes no sense if weapons can be switches in combat and without a CD.
Well most of the higher tier spells seem to have a cooldown, which I imagine is universal... so even if they swap weapons without cooldown they won't be able to cast everything quick.
I just wondered if there is a reason for unarmed, say that hand gestures are required and one handed applies to focusing items. it makes sense since the shout based spells dont have weapon requirements... you say them and thus can have a two handed sword and not have to worry. however skills that require you to focus and aim you need either your hand or a 1handed weapon to point and "shoot
Not sure if this has been answered yet, I've unfortunately missed both alphas due to work and pc issues.
I see some spells have been added to the wiki and some say nothing is required whiles other says unarmed or 1handed
Does this mean certain spells can only be cast with these weapons and spells like that are disabled while you are holding say a bow or spear?
@Meiki I wonder as well, or is syndesia the only place they will be able to be...
I wonder how you will tell if a player has evil or good alignment...
Demons will obviously be more centred on evil, but as one seeks redemption will they be able to play more on syndesia or visit it for longer than say an evil demon?
Humans can be either so you won't know their alignment at first blush...
Would be sick if divination has a sense alignment spell, probably not crucial but a good tool to sense if a player has intentions on attacking you.
@lan96512 definitely best anime for me is hunter X hunter...
Have enjoyed the anime based on mmorpgs like log horizon, no game no life and sword art online..
Best old school anime movie... Ninja scroll!!
@Roccandil Not sure, would also be epic if the new race changes your attributes with bonuses and negatives.
Think they mentioned for instance that Lich would get higher intelligence but lower charisma and constitution. For human who have no affinity it would not impact greatly, apart from allowing you to have INT at 20 with no knowledge points to raise it. obviously you wouldnt want your charisma to be on 6... then you would have say 5 charisma (guess? 
) so there is risk reward.
I can only guess what angels and abominations will have as stat bonuses/negatives... but if say you play infernal and have 21 score with strength and then the race change bumps it more... that would be mad cool.
Will have to wait and see how this is implemented.
Well first off as a demon to Angel you will need to change your alignment. That means no more killing the innocent! You'll also need to try get your alignment score up which I imagine won't be easy.
Then the long process of quests and ingredients for the change...
Definitely the goal of my first character... But your rewarded with a brand new race, wonder how this will affect stats.
And what racial skills will be based on demon race.
Anyway... Super excited for the game!!
Isometric adventure hack and slash... Mmorpg
Don't forget the game will have survival elements like water, food and maybe weather.
I love these game types all, and this game offers them all together
@Prometheus I think there has been quite a few instances of bad outcomes with early pledges.
Sure everyone know about the fallout 76 early packs, I myself bought archeage pledge and then the game was shipped completely different and pay to win.
Also backed everquest next which went belly up. Which was a shame given the toolkit and ambition for the game. We also see games like ashes of creation and crowfall who have huge pledge packs but don't seem to be near complete.
So I would imagine a lot of people are hesitant to back games there days. I myself have become jaded.
However what your game is leaning towards is everything I enjoy in a game. So I've definitely backed it because of that.
What I would look for beyond the amazing pledges you had is reassurance that the game no matter how big it gets will remain true to the original vision.
Does anyone know how long the test is for?
