Magic: Legends Open Beta Overview

Magic: Legends allows longtime fans of Magic: The Gathering to explore the Multiverse like never before. After selecting from one of five Planeswalker starter classes, players will travel to different regions made famous by the celebrated card game, including Innistrad, Tazeem, Benalia and more. While exploring these planes, players will collect Artifacts, Equipment and mana-based spells, which will be used to help them build a deck of powerful, randomized attacks. A full list of the game’s key features includes:

• A New ‘Magic’ Story – Ancient forces move in the darkness, and it’s up to players to gather the power needed to fight this evil. Magic: Legends features noteworthy characters from the iconic franchise across various storylines, eventually culminating in conflict with a powerful villain from the Multiverse.

• Become a Planeswalker – Magic: Legends allows players to harness the power of mana through five diverse starter classes and switch between these classes on the fly – with additional classes available later on.

• Walk Your Own Path – Planeswalkers will need to cross various planes to save the Magic Multiverse, but how they weave their path is up to them.

• Control the Chaos –  Players will make fast, tactical decisions on the battlefield in real-time, while strategically building a deck of spells from the spell library, which will be drawn at random during combat. Whether they wield the power of White, Blue, Black, Red, or Green mana – their choices determine how they navigate the battlefield.

• Collect and Upgrade – Magic: Legends offers a myriad of spells and spell pages that can be collected to make each spell more powerful. Players will acquire and utilize Equipment and Artifacts to synergize with their decks in order to craft their desired playstyles.

• Fight Together – The planes in Magic: Legends can be traversed alone or with up to two other Planeswalkers. Players can prepare unique loadouts to build on their teammates’ strengths or test their mettle in 1v1 PvP Duels.

Magic: Legends Classes 

Open Beta for Magic: Legends introduces five unique starter classes of Planeswalkers, with additional classes available later on:

• The Geomancer draws upon the power of the Earth to pummel enemies in close quarters with devastating stone and lava attacks. They are capable of absorbing blows that would otherwise incapacitate other Planeswalkers with their rock shield. Geomancers prefer to call upon creatures like goblins, kavu and earth elementals.

• The Mind Mage personifies cool intellect. As a Planeswalker that focuses on psychic powers, they can battle enemies from a safe distance, controlling projectiles with telekinetic powers, and lock down dangerous foes with spells that put them to sleep or turn them against their allies.

• The Beastcaller is the embodiment of primal might and savagery. They can vanquish hordes of foes on the battlefield with crushing blows from a massive spirit axe while coordinating attacks with an Aether Fox companion and other summoned beasts.

• The Sanctifier is equally adept at smiting foes with searing bolts of light as they are with mending the wounds of fallen comrades. This class can summon forth angels, paladins and those dedicated to order for protection in battle while laying waste to enemies with righteous light.

• The Necromancer uses deathly rituals to devastate enemies and raise undead hordes for their own purposes. This class utilizes its unique connection with death to tear the life from the living and sap enemies’ strength with terrible curses.

Magic: Legends Regions

n addition, players will explore five diverse regions across four planes, lifted directly from the Magic: The Gathering card sets:

• Shiv – A volcanic island on the plane of Dominaria – inhabited by Ghitu tribes, goblins, ogres, and dragons.

• Benalia – A church-state city on the plane of Dominaria, where rolling plains meet dark swamps. The Benalish people are at war with the Cabal fanatics and their demons.

• Tazeem – The jungle continent on the plane of Zendikar, featuring mystical Hedron stones, massive trees, and lush rivers – inhabited by merfolk, elves, and a host of wild creatures.

• Tolaria – A tropical academy on the plane of Dominaria – teeming with aspiring wizards, Homarid beasts, and artifact constructs.

• Gavony – A province on the plane of Innistrad, where the settlements and townsfolk are constantly under attack by the likes of werewolves and undead.

Guild Wars 2 Champions Chapter 3: Balance

The third Chapter, Balance, is set to drop this month according to ArenaNet’s road map, and we’re expecting more Dragon Response Missions, unique Masteries and much more. The next chapter is set for March 2021, but no exact date has yet to be announced.

Magic: Legends Open Beta

On March 23rd, Cryptic’s ARPG Magic: Legends will enter open beta, and we’re excited. This is the first ARPG co-op titled that uses the Magic the Gathering IP, and the gameplay looks very fun for those who enjoy the card game with familiar spells, and more making appearances. While the open beta is free and accessible to everyone interested, the catch is that it will take place exclusively on the Epic Games Store.

1. Corepunk

With an art style that will appease many, its steampunk setting and clever features like a fog of war system, Corepunk is shaping up to be the next big MMORPG to hit the global market. The game let’s players pick Characters as classes, and the gameplay from the trailer previews look solid enough, with a little gore too which not many other MMORPGs out there tolerate. While the beta is apparently happening in 2020, we may have to wait a little longer for the full release.

2. Magic: Legends

Magic The Gathering fans and players are pretty excited about Magic: Legends. Why? It’s an MMO that will have a virtual world brought to life with authentic source material, classes and more that isn’t a card-game. Earlier this year we got the news that it isn’t technically a full scale MMORPG, but rather an Action RPG in the mold of Diablo with less skills and an RNG card type mechanic for battles, but that won’t stop fans of the IP from jumping into a beta later this year.

3. Mad World

Arguably the most unique MMO on the list is an indie title known as Mad World. Aesthetically, it’s a 2.5D world with fun, vibrant and colorful graphics. In Mad World, players are treated to a semi-sandbox MMORPG with both PvE and PvP available. There will also be huge guild battles and a pet taming system to boot, which sounds interesting for a game like this. While it has been silent for over a year, the developers are finally coming out with more information and hopefully we’ll see a release pretty soon.

The post Highly Anticipated ARPG MMOS of 2020 appeared first on Mmos World.

Tazeem Details

Tazeem is a lush jungle continent located on the plane of Zendikar, and is the third official region that Cryptic has developed for Magic: Legends. Tazeem is covered in dense foliage, the composition of which creates a thick jungle canopy that obscures the ground below. According to the developers, they wanted to give the feeling of your character view being obscured by the dense tree canopies, and that was a challenge they had to overcome.

Gorgeous Vista

One thing Planewalkers can definitely expect is the gorgeous vistas in Tazeem. The team rediscovered the use of negative spaces to show off these vistas, and one can look down at the environments and view the atmospheric fog that thickens or thins based upon the perceived distance of an object.

Lighting The Way

The lighting in Tazeem spans a wider array of colors than Benalia and Shiv. Scenery shifts from sunny days under a humid jungle canopy to dark areas filled with bioluminescent light. In addition to that, Tazeem features aquatic areas that house Zendikar’s Merfolk. In order to bring the continent to life, the dev team needed to embrace the vastly different lighting needs of these areas. That meant they had to assess each area and ensure the shifts in lighting properly guide players along the many defining trails and paths of Tazeem. Extra time was taken to make sure the thickness of the canopy was conveyed by the dappled lighting, which darkens as the canopy grows and players delve deeper. From there, lights emitted from the surrounding area must be sparse enough to preserve the darkness while also giving enough of a visual trail for players to follow.
