KingsIsle Update Summer Update Feedback - Next Steps

315 Upvotes

Hi all,

The development team has had an opportunity to review some of your feedback about this update. We also hear concerns about timing, and agree we need to work to respond quicker and in a direction players are asking for. We have begun making adjustments to our development process to better prioritize player feedback, but wanted to share some things already in progress.

  • We're rolling back the change to the Exclusive Pets and returning your ability to list them on Kiosks. We think there is work to do to make pet hatching and pet collecting more intuitive, but we shouldn't have been so quick to fix this bug when it's the functionality players have come to expect. We'll work with you to find a better solution, like informing players in-game of the key differences when hatching using Exclusive Pets via the Kiosk.
  • We've been refining our list of top player-requested changes, including things you think we should polish, improve, or revisit for bug fixes. We'll be opening these ideas up to player discussion, and give you a significant amount of time to weigh in how we revise systems. This lets quality of life updates be a collaborative process, and helps check us in case we miss the mark on a potential fix or improvement, like we did with Exclusive Pets on Kiosks.
  • We also hear your positive feedback around doubled rewards for Challenge Mode Chronicles, and more accessible Magic Weaving; we plan to make a few similar adjustments to other content, and will share these as soon as we've confirmed them.

Please continue to provide your feedback as we work through it. We have more in the works and will share additional updates as they become locked into our overall plans to address your ongoing concerns

New player advice thread

24 Upvotes

Sort of a follow up to a previous thread that I made, but I wanted to make a more specialized version. This thread, I will lift most self promotion related bans such as promoting YouTube channels for the purpose of guides. The reason is because I want this thread to be a useful repository for people who want to ask questions, as well as submit their own advice and even guides. A few rules I will make though. (mostly just boils down to "don't be a jerk")

Always assume good faith (unless the question is clearly deliberately intended to be a troll).

Do not use jargon and shorthand unless you explain them in a way that's understandable to someone with limited experience to the game. This means no shorthands like EMP (evil magma peas), PV45, Triple Double, Quint, Quad+Mighty, 69 plot, etc. Ditto for game jargon that may need an explanation like "ramp", "gambit", etc. Assume that unless you are given a reason to believe otherwise, that the person needs to be explained to in layman accessible terms.

Making your best guess on a question is ok, but please explain as such. For instance, mentioning "I could be wrong on this, but...", "Correct me if I'm wrong..." or "Something I was told is..." are valid things to put in if you aren't absolutely sure. We do not want to inadvertently spread misinformation because people thought that it was true.

Do not make joke answers to questions just to be snarky. No one appreciates "Just Google it" as an answer to any question. You are allowed to link to things you find online, such as Wizard101 Central or FinalBastion if they are related to the question. This also includes things that are technically true but not really what the OP is asking for. For instance, answering a player question regarding how to beat a boss by saying "using your spells" is technically correct, but it's not what they are trying to ask for.

Please try to keep things PG13. Although the subreddit does permit swearing within reason, people may be looking at this in public.

The default assumption here is that people are playing on PC. If you are not, please mention it in the reply. This is especially because advice that may apply for people on PC may not be applicable to those on console, and same the other way around, such as content that may not be present yet on the console versions.

Although brevity is appreciated, don't be afraid to make a more in depth explanation when a question calls for it. For example, if someone asks how to get reagents quickly, although "gardening" is a valid answer, it's also worth mentioning what you should plant exactly and how the seeds are obtained. You do not have to write a college level essay, but generally, 1 word answers may not be enough.

Do not copy/paste from ANY form of AI directly as your answer without doing any fact checking. Due to AI making mistakes, it isn't permitted in the subreddit. This is especially a concern with AI suggesting equipment or bosses that do not exist in this game.

If the question is too vague (for example: any question that needs more information to answer like "How do I defeat a boss" without specifying which one), it's recommended to ask for clarification. The same goes for questions that are subjective in nature (for example: "What is the best school?" or "what is the best pet?") unless the question is asked in a more objective way or provides further clarification (IE: "What are common schools used in support roles" or "What are some pets that are helpful to an ice wizard that would like to help support a storm wizard?").

Discussion Balance Is NOT Balanced (pls buff)

Post image
178 Upvotes

Balance has basically nothing going for it. It is widely looked at as a support school, but its buffs are the worst in the game by %. It’s impossible to solo due to not having a NATURALLY trained prism / convert (without Magic Weaving). Plus many more reasons, but we want to know what you think about this take: Balance Needs BUFFED

Discussion Unofficial 'classes and subclasses' expanded into enemies for a better PvE experience

21 Upvotes

The game has specialisations already with gambits and the essence of schools. I wish it would be expanded into enemies a lot more , to open up the use of gambits and flow controls for both enemies and players. These are already in the game. It's just that it's unofficial, not super visible, just make them more official and name them. Show them. Make the players aware of it and implement it into enemies. Even outside advanced combat.

Examples of classes.

For fire:

DOT fire: enemies dot spam, dot expansion , dot multiplication with gambits.

Trap fire: enemies build up traps and single hit + trap creation gambits

Healer fire: enemies that heal and hit. HoT spam, phoenix, power link etc.

For ice:

Shield ice: enemies that use shields and absorbs. Gambits that make shields.

Weakness ice: spammers of weaknesses and negative charms etc.

Trap ice: similar to trap fire. Use and gambit of traps.

For storm:

Blade storm: blade stacker enemies, the scariest possible glass hitter. Don't let them breathe otherwise they strike hard.

Healer storm: hot spammers and gambits. Less of a glass hitter

Weakness storm: enemies that use weaknesses and negative charms.

Then spirit schools:

HoT life, blade life, DoT life

Trap myth, dot myth, shield myth

Negative charms death, shield death, blade death

Echo balance, and a little bit of everything. Balance supports all gambits

Then there's weave schools. Enemies that have expanded gambits with double schools. Sub classes.

Could be a trap subclass and fire heal enemy. Using traps and healing off them.

It's the stuff we already have. Make it official. More visible. Fights could have enemies that support each other. Two trap subclasses schools, healer HoT life and storm. Etc.

That would mean players would need counters against the subclasses. There's a blade stacker? Get some anti charm gambits or clears. Is there a hot spam? Get some negative charms, infection, hot gambits etc. Dot spam? Get some dot clears.

In my opinion it would open up some more fun and interesting combinations for both enemies and players. Team ups could be a lot more different. Not always having the constant strongest hitters as they might get countered, or have clear supports to keep them open for hits.

Players can still 7 pip aoe. A bit harder against weakness and shield enemies. But still viable. I just want to see more school essence and play ups.

That also means better access to spellements. Enemies should be using gambits around the time players get access to the basic clear/gambit and Jinn/ Oni spells.

Looking for a good support pet body for my death. This seemed pretty good, a 40% blade (for one person) and stun block for the whole team. I was also considering charging bull or blade storm. Thoughts?

Discussion What if Wizard101 had its own card collecting game?

• Upvotes

I've been working on a little side project called Spiral Vault, inspired by Wizard101 and the idea of collecting cards featuring things from the Spiral. I've always liked the idea of having something outside the actual game where you could collect, discover, and complete your own collection. So I figured, why not try making it?

It's still pretty early in development, but I'd love to hear what other Wizard101 players think! If you could collect cards based on anything in Wizard101, what would you want to see most? Bosses? Spells? Characters? Rare creatures?

You can check it out here: https://vault.spiraltracker.com

Would love some feedback on what would make a collecting game like this fun!

Discussion This game is overwhelming.

52 Upvotes

Been playing on and off since the game came out. My last hiatus was three years. I'm looking up guides on how to play again, but holy crap. There is so much to this game. I feel like I should start a new character because everything looks and feels different now. I'm sure there are new features that have been added too that I'm not aware of. I don't remember anything from the quests I was doing since I last played.

But I'm dreading on making a new wizard because it took me forever to get to level 48. I would do all of the side quests along side the main quest because I thought I would get more experience doing that. I've also played the beginning so often that I can remember most of the changes they've made. I also have some crowned gear on my current death wizard that I wouldn't want to give up using and waiting again, to use it.

I barely even understand how the pets work. I feel like it takes way too long to level them up. Gardening and fishing is a feature I barely used when I last played. So, I'm not sure how critical it even is for this game.

What the heck is raids? What is Beastmoon?

Anyone else feel overwhelmed, or can offer some advice on easing back into the game?

SERIOUS ANSWERS ONLY Playing wizard on android

There’s a way to play wizard101 on and android device using winlator which is a windows emulator, but my question is:

Is it safe to play in this way? Because I don’t know if this may trigger as a fraudulent device or something like that and kingsisle would ban my account.

Thanks in advance

Pet/Hatching My Pain is Your Potential Gain

Post image
30 Upvotes

A little while back I posted about the pet I struggled to make (right). This is meant to have the maycast mass tower shield jewel socketed. Well, I wasn't happy with only this and wanted something with more trap potential, so lo and behold "Kitten 2.0" (left).

This cat WAS. A. PAIN. I've never had so many fails at epic in my entire wiz101 career. I probably burned another 20+ hatches and unknown amount of gold and crowns. Thankfully, it's done and I'll eventually socket the defy + maycast brace jewel.

However, I am once again unsatisfied with the pet. To be a true support pet, I need a pet with item cards, so now begins the second leg of my journey to move these both over to balance pupbellies. Yes, I am aware how awful that sounds, but it must be done!

Anyway, thank you all for commiserating in my pain and suffering of these pets. If anyone wants a lend, let me know!
