Where is this holy divider to be found?
And can you go back and play a previous level, or do you have to start the campaign over?
Final question: when does the game ever actually ask for the Steam key?
And here's how I beat the Grimnir mind duel:
+ Show Spoiler +This was frustratingly hard until I discovered the personal shield also protects you from getting wet (and if that fails, there's the QE on self for a water shield). Then you just haste yourself if needed to dodge their beams and blast them all with rapid Thunderbolts (practise casting it fast, so they can barely do anything). If you are quick enough, you can at least kill one of the two druids (second platform) before they can do anything. Not using beams also eliminates the risk of your beam colliding with one of theirs for horrible explosions that knock you off a platform.
Before I discovered this, I died horrendously to both the druids and goblin shamans a dozen times. Then I figured this out, and did all remaining plateaus in one go. Not because I'm so great, but just because this method worked so well for me.

Lol mind duel was piss easy.
Just frost wall any enemy and blast em. In that case when stuff spawns in the centre of the area, throw one down and wham frozen enemies. They never had a chance..

5x Water AoE works really well there too. You can beat the third and forth levels with just one cast, knocking everyone else off the platform.

Played only single-player until last night, and went with two friends on an epic journey..
Never laughed so hard from a game in my LIFE!!
The hilarious ways of accidentally screwing up for your friends is awesome!
soo.. communication is key, but not as fun. 
Totally worth it if you get a friend or two to tag along.

played now the 2nd time through coop and one full arena and gotta say...this game is quite fun in a group!
i'm gonna go for some more games tonight! so if somebody from eu here (because of the ping) is in the mood to go for a coop, just pm me your steamadd 
maybe we get a small group of tl'ers together...

duno how i missed this thread. some friends told convinced me to buy it and i must say it is the greatest game ever made

Holy crap, this game is excellent! And for $10 it's the best bang for your buck out there. It's the only game that has pulled me off SC2 for a little while. Action, comedy, constantly something to do... zero grind, no waiting around for hp or mana, thank you! It's so fun finding out spells by accident, then realizing how you can use them. Tactical options are about limitless... and I haven't even tried coop or online stuff. Highly recommended to anybody that likes a challenging game that requires fast hands, fast thinking, and tactical sense.
And last but not least, it is THE most genius spell system in the gaming world. QWERASDF are your basic types, and you have to tap out combinations (up to 5) to get different spells. This means you need accuracy and speed to do it right... the kind of thing the competitive starcrafter desires.

Oh thank god. They added a filter to remove passworded games! u also have like <10 games left without the passworded? why are there like no not-passworded games? and i still cant host games ... Because people want to play with their friends? dude, we are talking about pretty much only passworded games. you cant tell me everyone has friends playing magicka. also the fact no one ever joins games i host, but public games i join are full within few seconds makes very obvious, that we are talking about poor programming here.
sounds more like you havent forwarded your ports?
that being said, i also look for some people to play with... my steamid is lordrogue.

I'm thinking of buying this game with my girlfriend. However her computer/laptop is really underpowered (like dual core or something). Does this game demand a lot of power?
Additionally, is there a lot of re-playability? I'm thinking L4D re-playability except not as redundant or dull.
Also, can it be played with two or do you need 4? VOIP in-game if we play with randoms?
Thanks!

magicka is not really a game which needs a lot of power, at least as far as i can tell...i played it ona an older laptop aswell as on a high-end pc and it worked both times quite smooth.
for the re-playability i would probably say yes. maybe not as much as l4d but i think it's a game you can always turn on for half an hour or an hour and have your fun.
you can also play only with 2 yeah and about the viop...haven't tried it yet so i don't know about that...
edit: forgot to answer the first question

I haven't looked at the game whatsoever (I intend to tonight). I'm looking for something fun and cooperative, yet easy to grasp and do (I'm a decent gamer, but my girlfriend, bless her heart, is not as quick to pick-up the gist of games or their strategies), can I assume Magicka is right up our ally?
Yeah... just trying to get a feel for the game.
I'm buying it sometime this week and will probably stream our adventures :3

i think both of you should be fine!
there are some spells that are quite tricky sometimes, especially if you wanna do an arena game and don't want to use the same spells all the time. but it's also not too hard to learn...the tutorial really let's you know the basic mechanics aswell the progressing story.

Actually the game is not very optimized, the MINIMUM system requirements are high as fuck for how it looks like, maybe because the spammable abilities can be demanding. I've even experienced slowdowns and I have a 955 BE and 9800gtx+... (only on max settings though, when you turn off some useless effects it doesnt slowdown)

She just played the demo and she got no lag. Is the demo representative to test one's pc?

If Demo runs fine, there should be no problem. Its not like the camera zooms out more in the final version and there are 10x more monsters on the screen
There is maybe 1-2 areas in the whole game which really have more monsters/effects at the same time as there are in the demo areas, and even if you get a bit lag there (which you probably won't), it would hardly break the experience.

Want to do up to +10k in damage in 1 hit?
(Q+R) (Q+R) (Q+R) (Q+R) (G) Power it up to full charge. Release. Enjoy 1 shoting just about every single boss in the game.
|
Or even better - get them wet first (foreplay is important) and do the old FQASA. 10k each time, and I actually raped the final boss the second time I was up against him
As for the game, awesome sense of humor! I had a lot of fun even playing single player only. Even the bugs in it made me laugh instead of rage, just because it sets up this goofy atmosphere. Best 10 bucks ever spent

I just bought it. I played the demo and sucked so much balls.
Is there a way possible to change the mouse controls? I like right to move and left to cast.
I also would like to make my two extra side mouse buttons for self-cast, not the middle ):
Is this possible.

Idk if it was the bugs or if they fucked up too hardcore when they "fixed" them but I picked the game back up a couple weeks ago after getting to fafnir within the first week of release and it was unplayable. Everything from the elementals in the death level up to fafnir (at which point I just ragequit) would oneshot me or burn me alive. While being faster than me. Fafnir was invulnerable from almost all sides, his fireballs became undodgeable and his death ray would randomly speed up becoming faster than my guy.
I was loving this game where most of the danger was purely collateral but patches turned it into a clusterfuck of unfair mechanics.

^ Lol, I think I actually killed Fafnir due to luck and probably a bug. You just cast haste, get behind him as fast as possible and while he's busy attacking in front of him (even though there's nothing there) you just spam QR cast QR cast like crazy. It usually takes three to five seconds :D
