(this rant is about mouse+keyboard usage in magicka 2 not controllers)
1. why the hell are steam and ice not there own elements in Magicka 2 like Magicka 1
2. AOE and standard lightning range and damage feels way to small and useless
3. why no spell recipes under wizard when scrolling with mouse wheel
4. control scheme for using AOE magic and attacking/enchanting with the sword on a mouse is just annoying and concentration breaking it should be attacking with the sword is shift + mouse button 1 and AOE is shift + mouse button 2
5. seriously arcane lightning rather than lightning beam when combining lightning + death who's the genius who thought that was a good change it may have worked well like that in wizard wars but in Magicka 2 it's stupid and pointless
6. seriously needs a big reduction in the charge time for charging spells like the earth ones
7. cool-down's on magicks really this isn't wizard wars it's a single-player/co-op game not PVP
frankly the sneak peek feels like they took wizard wars and gave it a Magicka 1 coat of paint with updated graphics and nerfing damage and AOE into the ground seriously the spell/magic usage from a Magicka 1 players perspective feels dubbed down
the reason that Magicka 1 was so good was that you could use only 1 op spell to through out the game or you could experiment and approach each fight using different spells and tactics rather than having to stick to hit and run as your primary tactic
this doesn't feel like a sequel to Magicka 1 this feels like a single-player sequel to wizard wars and that's not a good thing
i.e. i'm extremely disappointed with how this has turned out at this point Magicka 1 feels like the superior game even with its bugs at this point and Magicka 2 is not even out yet yes this feedback does seem critical and i am probably going to get flack for this but this is the truth
