Hello everyone! For those you I've informed that VAGUE will be on June NextFest, unfortunately I have to delay and move to October NextFest instead.
As some of you guys know, VAGUE is developed by a single developer at the moment and the game is slowly turned into a big game over time. During development, I've seen several issues with the development pipeline especially when making new maps.
The solution is to change the game architecture to ensure the process to be less tedious and easy for solo dev to handle. But this takes a lot of time to migrate from the old to the new architecuture... Hence, I have to delay the release.
I'm truly sorry about this especially for anticipating fans from the socials. But I'm more worried about the current state of the game and don't want to disappoint players with a broken, messy and bugged game.
A new version of Magic Research 2, version 1.3.2, is now out for everyone. Version 1.3.2 has many big changes. The biggest change is the addition of a new game mode: "Classic Mode" (formerly known as "alternate Land"), where furniture no longer consumes land. After updating, as long as you haven't completed a certain specific late-game Storyline (Blessed Land), you should be getting a prompt after you retire to choose your game mode.
There are also a ton of other changes, from several quality of life / UI improvements, to sweeping balance changes to the early game and to some parts of the late / post-game.
Full patch notes below. They are very long this time!
New features and changes
Re-brand "Alternate Land" as "Classic Mode" (the default Land mechanic is now "Modern Mode"), and add a single-time prompt at game start to choose a mode
Change "Toggle all auto-purchase max" into two actions
Add press and hold ability for "Transmute Materials and Item"
Add ability to "favorite" Transmutation spells
Color-code spells in Perma-Cast spell list
Cross-over spell buttons when Max Mana is not enough
Change the Storyline hint unlocks: they will no longer require you to have a current Mind level, and instead will look at the maximum across all your retirements
Triggering a random Storyline event will now automatically reveal the full name of all the Storylines you get via it, as well as their hints, in Stats
Change event "Curse Issues" not to appear if Rituals are unlocked
Change Essence icons to match Element icons, to distinguish better between them
Change the default behavior to hide low quality items if unlocked
After a retirement, display the MPL next to each element choice
Event "An Offer of {Element}" will not be automatically triggered if another instance is ongoing
Event "An Offer of {Element}" will not trigger for maxed-out Elements
Add buttons in Perma-Cast spell list to remove spells from the list entirely
Make it easier to see in the Wizards screen that Wizards are paused
Add clarification to Help entry for "Storyline Hints"
Add one new Easter-Egg item: "Caliburn"
Add a "(Max)" when an item reaches its maximum quality
Add "Exit" button to menu
Remember pinned screens when resizing (mostly) or closing the game

Balance changes
Adjust Storyline pity system to trigger infinite times per run, but reset the pity timer if you find a random Storyline even outside of pity
Intended effect: Leaving a game idle 6-8 hours should always trigger at least one random Storyline if able
Increase likelihood of triggering early game random Storyline events by roughly 50%:
All the random Storyline events in the Training Towers
All the random Storyline events in the Sewers
Storyline "Wizard Leader"
However, random Storyline event chance will be 0 until Storyline "Posterity" is cleared
Try to increase the speed of early game (pre-Desert):
Increase Monstium drop rate of most Training Towers and Sewers enemies
Tweak Essence Catalysts: significantly increase base bonus (15% -> 18%), but reduce effect of spell Enchant Essence Catalysts (15% -> 10%) to try to quicken early game Essence production
Increase Mana Spout base Mana regen rate (+0.75/sec -> +1.00/sec) but remove Mana regen rate increase reward from Storyline "Advanced Mana Spouts"
Reduce cost of spells "Enchant Mana Spouts" (60 -> 40), "Enchant Essence Catalysts" (200 -> 120)
Reduce Wizard Power requirement for "Air Blast" (10 -> 6)
Adjust cost of spell Channel Four (reduce by 50%)
Improve messaging / story after building the first Essence Catalyst to try to make it clearer that their effects stack with each other and that they are very important for Essence production, despite their hefty cost
Change several things related to Attack Delay and some related to Attack:
Reduce effect of Storyline "Agility of Gods" (-30% -> -25%)
Reduce duration of effect "Rush" (30 sec -> 5 sec)
Reduce effect of empowerment for Imbue Flames (8x -> 6x)
Reduce Attack Delay bonuses of late-game Air weapons (Vampiric Splitblades (-55% -> -50%; also increase spell power penalty to 10%), Divine Rippers (-55% -> -50%))
Attack Delay effect on equipment now scales slower, based on a square root divisor formula rather than a linear divisor formula
Reduce base effect of spell "Blinding Speed" (-50% -> -40%)
Reduce base effect of spell "Monstrous" (+600 -> +500)
Reduce effect of Boost Attack (+1% -> +0.75%) and Boost Attack Delay (1% -> 0.5%)
Effect of spell "Shapeshift Eagle" now scales the Attack Delay logarithmically
Reduce cost of Storage Expanders by 75% so they are purchasable without certain specific Storylines and in Classic Mode, but increase cost scaling significantly
Spell Last Burst now causes combat to be lost when effect runs out, rather than causing all HP to be lost
Slightly reduce negative effect of item Bangle of Critical Protection (-50% -> -40%)
Reduce likelihood that Death Pilgrimage boss will use Blood Attack (50% -> 35%)
Adjust cost of ultimate items so they are still Transmutable in the Primary Challenge
Adjust cost of Essence Storages and Monstruariums in Classic Mode (formerly known as Alternate Land)
Adjust Synchro effect Mind + Space: now also affects Familiar Exploration
Rebalance effect of Space spellcrafting
Change Frozen Protection, Stun Protection, and the secret boss's buffs to be undispellable
Adjust strategy of final boss to use Antidote more often
Slightly tweak accuracy and dodge of Satell Transformed (450 -> 480)
Tweak secret element item Ceremonial Knife: it will no longer have effect on undispellable buffs
Late-game enemy Undead Wizard can now drop Rare Robe at a very low chance
Reduce effect of late game Synchro bonuses: Death + Time (+50% -> +25%), Earth + Holy (+25% -> +10%)
Increase attack delay of boss Avian Elephant (3.6 sec -> 4.0 sec)
Reduce base duration of spell Petrification (10 sec -> 8 sec)
Rebalance post-game fight Ascended Headmaster in many ways: increase Defense 12K -> 30K, make Equip effects undispellable, tweak Attack Delay when using Silver Dagger, start battle with Flawless Appearance, and more
Tweak effect of Fire Spellcrafts: reduce their cooldown penalty to +15% / +35% for Prism and Jewel in that order
A new version of the launcher was published on Steam. This launcher will allow you to choose from our different servers showing which one is recommended for you and the ping value. All servers are displayed as “Fireborne” in-game, but the IP you will connect differs. We hope this reduces the lag and disconnection issues for players in SA and Asia.
Server files updated to increase “player idle time”. This should reduce some disconnections.
Server crashes were fixed some days ago. We were making sure of it until the announcement.
🛠️ Return to Suer
Return to Suer item fixed.
✅ PK System
PK system re-enabled (it was disabled by mistake).
🔁 Account Synchronization and Purchasing
Accounts (only) will be synced from the US server to the new SG server every 5 minutes.
Accounts will be created in both servers automatically now.
When purchasing something from the Item Mall now you will be able to select characters from both servers. Items will be sent to the character + server selected.
🆘 Sawa Server
Sawa server time fixed. This should fix the timed items. If it did not for you, open a support ticket.
🆙 Level Rewards are Back
Level rewards are back, but limited to potions this time. Check your Mailbox every 5 levels you reach.
That’s it for these latest weeks. We will continue to work on other issues not mentioned here. You can see the progress on our development board.
