Non-Disney Online Games (Wizard 101) Quest Tips & Help Thread!

[disvaclub92]

I appreciate the time we were given to advance as far as we could.

I know for me, I enjoyed the help of friend battling to help me, but most of the time I tried to battle alone to see how far it would take me. I still see some major bugs and have reported them. I do have to admit, I feel for the "no chat" crowd. The featured text has been useful, but I have seen some difficulty in communicating, so I have recommended some additional text.

Any other life people suffering from having so many pips but no spells showing active in your deck to use?

 

[TLinden16]

heh, I am looking forward to the official launch especially after seeing there are lots more in store for us. The special for the beta peeps is a very nice gesture as well.

I expect I will become a member of this game after launch as long as the cost is along lines with where the rumors are placing it. I really found I just enjoy the game.

I must have missed it, but what's the rumored price?

From the interview with Todd Coleman, Director of KingsIsle, on mmosite.com:

At launch, we'll be free-to-play with advanced gameplay for subscribers. We're looking at around 10 a month, with discounts for 6 month and annual subscribers. There will also be a micro-payment system to purchase customized accessories.

 

[Shandiss]

I should add, because I know there will be a lot of questions... Life Student, just using a Centaur spell.
Treasure cards stack with your normal spells. Prisms are fun.

Hey there, I had sent them this question:

Good Morning,

Just a quick note to ask if you will take into account that many families would like to play this game together as a team. I am hoping that for my family of 4 to continue playing together we will not need to buy 4 subsriptions. I am really excited about the game going live, but I am so hoping we won't need to choose who gets their own account.

Thanks for your time,
Cynthia

Hi there!

I wish I had more information for you, but unfortunately, I'm not entirely clear on how the family accounts are going to work. In any case, there will be a significant bit of the game that is free to play, so even in a worst case scenario there's room for all of you!

Keep an eye out on the site www.wizard101.com for news and more details on the free to play and pay to play features!

Regards,
Mr. Lincoln
Ravenwood School of Magical Arts

Not was I was hoping for, quite honestly. We will probably get two accounts and Hubby and the kids will have to share one... sad though.

I too try battles on my own and have run into this problem the further I go in game. Guess that could be why I have not played as much and was thinking of starting another. But I guess not if they are getting ready to go live.

I finished the main game, so I find myself joining battles to help others advance in their quests. I find that I enjoy fighting bosses with others, or just helping them fill their bad guy quotas.

But you're the only person I know that has that pip problem. I'm a life wizard and don't have that issue.

I have had the pip problem a few times, but not nearly as often as you.

You can still play for free! Check out what LittleWoodenHead quoted four posts above yours, from the interview with the Director of KingsIsle.

I read and they said you can't get to other worlds and level up past level one and do the storyline

I also have the pip problem a lot when fighting other life bad guys. Or no other cards will come up but life cards. I'll have several rounds of each that way.
I just make real sure I have someone other than life helping me with those. lol

I agree, the Beta test has been a blast!
Okay, about the mega pip issue. I have a Balance/Life girl who has the same issues. For some reason, all she can pull for the first two rounds are 3-4 pip spells, then fizzles them when she's able to actually cast one. After those big spells are depleted or discarded, all she's left with are shields and health cards. 8 pips is common, along with a circle of shields, blades and traps. Nothing she can do but keep trying to pull decent spells and hope they don't fizzle. And the fizzle rate starts another story... This whole pip/fizzle increase started after the big upgrade a few weeks ago.

Where did you read this? I couldn't find it anywhere in the interview.

 

[FlyingPegasus]

Just wanted to let you know, Mr Lincoln told me that the limit on treasure cards is 500.

I didn't think I had that many, but I did get carried away turning my storm sharks and meteor spells "Monstrous" and stuff.

MMOsite: Is there any sort of rough schedule for when CB and OB will be available for the players? And have you decided on the business model?

Todd Coleman: Closed beta is happening now, and we expect to move to open beta very, very soon. Anybody can go to www.Wizard101.com and sign up. New accounts are being let in very, very quickly.

At launch, we'll be free-to-play with advanced gameplay for subscribers. We're looking at around 10 a month, with discounts for 6 month and annual subscribers. There will also be a micro-payment system to purchase customized accessories. We expect our catalog of accessories to be extensive...but at the same time, we have to walk a fine line. We don't want to undermine the balance of the game or short-cut the advancement curve too much.

Post launch, we have a ton of new content scheduled (worlds, spells, accessories, even new classes of Magic) as well as new game systems (like housing and crafting and the tournament system, all of the stuff I mentioned earlier.)

It says advanced gameplay is for subscribers...which could be like WDIG Pirates (up to level 8)....of course that only gets you out of Unicorn Way.

The only attack was a treasure card Centaur, which IS below 500. What added to all that damage were all the +% stacking. Like, You can use a life blade and a life blade treasure card, and they will stack. Same with Life Trap, spirit blade, spirit trap, etc.

My character has been frozen because I have too many treasure cards in my backpack. I had asked them what the limit is on how many cards we can have in our backpack and they told me 500.

So I was talking about the number of cards we can have, not the amount of damage the cards can do.

That was an amazing spell you did by the way.
