Spells...how?

[ecbattle]

Holding the trigger and swiping from either side and nothing doing on the spells. What am I missing? The fact that it shows you how to draw your weapon and attack, how to pull apart a skeleton and then allows you to skip the spell tutorial is somewhat telling here...does this not always work?

I had a bit of trouble with spells on my g-2. They seemed to work randomly when i did the gestures

[MrMoo]

Also cannot complete the spell section of the tutorial on my Quest. The skip option seems to indicate they knew it didn't work and released anyway. Hopefully this gets patched.

Same problem here with a Vive Pro I got the first spell by swinging crazy left right.

But the second one to rise my arm doesn't do anything so far.
I came here to post about and found your post...


Now that I'm sure others are seeing this, I will select to skip the tutorial, seems to be a glitch right there and hopefully fixed soon.

For the first spell you have to use the staff (middle weapon) and swing from left to right.
For the second spell you have to use the mace (left weapon) and raise it above your head while holding the trigger, optionally pointing at the enemy after the weapon is charged overhead.
For the third spell you have to use the sword (right weapon) charge it and push it forward to dash.

Yep, and I did all but only the first one works with the staff.

To give an update to everyone, during normal gameplay the gestures work, The staff spell works alwasy, the mace spell works 50% of the times and the sword spell works 25% of the time.

Well at least it works in gameplay. I'll try skipping the tutorial, but I can't imagine releasing something that I knew was broken like that.

I had to refund. Are they being pushed by the publisher to release the game on a specific day? Doubt it.

Yet they still release the game with a broken tutorial. While the game is visually pleasing, the rest feels clunky. Instead of fixing the tutorial, they put the option to skip the spell tutorial witch tells me they knew it was broken and took the time to make the message but not fix the problem.

Huge bummer, was looking forward to this one.

Played the game for some hours last night, after the patch, and spells worked fine. Note than weapons charge, you can't use spells constantly. Using the Index. And Rift CV1.
Use the tutorial to see how the spells work.

I had the same issues on mine. I can do the Left to right one, I can do the Sword one but the chain lightning attack I managed to get it to work 2 times in like a couple hours. It straight up just doesn't register for me. Very frustrating. (Index if that matters)

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're currently working on improving casting spells to make them more intuitive for everyone. We hope that your experience with our game will be much more enjoyable after the upcoming patches.

Same issue. Trigger worked exatly ONCE, the first time in the tutorial. Then Oculus (Rift S) claimed it was too dark in the room to track my controllers (I've played in much darker and never had an issue, it's a daylight-lit room on a cloudy day with some extra lights on), after restarting the game, Trigger does not do anything regarding casting, in either hand. Button's not broken, since I can oprate the game's menus and all my other apps just fine. Last post here was a month ago, I really hope this will be addressed soon.

[verrath]

Addition. I can confirm that it works better once past the tutorial. (Where eventually I could finallly to the overhead attack) - but it still seems dodgy and unreliable.

[CarbonStudio]

As Verrath mentioned, the tutorial may prove to be helpful. We've made casting spells a lot easier in recent patches, but we're still open to suggestions and changes in this mechanic. We believe that with a little practice, casting spells will be easier and more clear - if not, be sure to let us know :) maybe the spellcasting system still needs a few adjustments.

I just tried this today and I was swinging wildly left and right, raising my fist in the air or whatever, nothing works (quest 2) most of the time. Very rarely it does. I have only seen the lightning that goes out in 3 rows or something in the tutorial, it worked there, but couldn't do it ever again, Sigmar must have left me. :(
Also, many of my hits seem to go right through the enemies and is there a toggle for gripping so I don't have to grip the controller constantly?

What's weird is just after this I tried the Wizards game from the same developer (I think) and that's a delight. Casting spells left and right and it works perfectly, makes you feel like a real mage pulling fireballs out of thin air or the bow gesture that turns into a blade is so awesome, along with the shield, very doctor strangey. :) So it's puzzling that they were able to create such a cool gesture based magic system in that game and it just doesn't work in this one.

This does not work for me on the Quest 2. I can't seem to cast any spells at all and the tutorial won't let me continue without doing so. Is this going to be fixed at some point? Thanks.
