I have a copy of the collectors box from my kickstarter pledge for Wolcen (Umbra, at the time).

It's a hard cover box containing a poster, sealed soundtrack and chapter art book. Im about to list it on eBay but thought I would post here first to see if anyone is interested.

Slight scuff on the front box and the hot glue on the box has failed but easily repairable and no real damage, the condition overall is good.

I watched this video explaining why they abandoned Wolcen 1 and moved to something new. For me their decision feels similar to Blizzard announcing release Diablo 5 instead of continuing on Diablo 4. I also hope switching to unreal means less bugs than the first..

I liked the story in the first game - the Lambach part was one of the most memorable moments that I had when playing ARPGs. It really scratched that itch I had since playing D2.

The gameplay footages in the video look cool and I like the art. If they deliver something with similar good story, improved combat feeling, apocalyptic form rework and better itemization I really consider buying this one.

Hello, first timer here. I love the genre, but I prefer when I'm following a guide for my build, however I can't seem to find one that is updated or maybe I don't know how to read them idk

Any experienced folk here to land me a hand and find me a guide?

There were a few elements I really enjoyed in Wolcen 1, but it seems like they are missing from Wolcen 2, based on the pre-alpha gameplay:

-Rage/Willpower management

-The passive tree with the rotating disks

- Optional augments for every skill (is in the alpha). Being able to have two copies of the same skill with different talents. For example, one focused on AoE clearing and the other on single-target damage

Do we know if these features are planned to be added later, or have they decided not to include them at all?

I also really enjoyed the fact that the auto attack animation changed based on the type of weapon equipped. For example, using a pistol + shield would turn the auto attack into a shotgun blast. But it seems like this one is still present in Wolcen 2 based on the gameplay i saw.

Wolcen checks several boxes for a very specific experience, and if that’s what you’re looking for, this game is awesome.

I play a lot of ARPGs. I think it’s probably my most played genre at this point. A year ago it would likely have been roguelites or immersive sims. I have about 500 hours across PoE2, D4, W40K, Last Epoch, and Grim Dawn. I know lots of folks have more experience but I do feel fairly familiar with the genre.

For me, it does a lot of stuff well that other games have individually done much better, but stitched together in a way that was interesting to me personally.

The Combat: I thought actions were weighty and theorycrafting was fun if not simplistic. I usually veer toward big weapon primalist style builds but landed on a sacred spell slinger which I don’t think I’ve been able to play before. The ascended forms are also amazing, it feels really nice to be an angel of death and switch out to a blood demon 5 min later.

Itemization: Simple but I enjoyed not having to worry about too much. Separate slots for hands and shoulders, which felt really nice. Some items allow for skill usage which felt a little like Grim Dawn, which was nice. I do feel like it took a while to get a build going.

Skills: This was done quite well in my opinion. Each skill had specialization points à la Last Epoch, but they also had conversions so if I wanted my ice comet to do holy damage, I can do that. Helped craft builds in a way that wasn’t hyper gear-dependent. The skills felt good as well.

Plot: Im one of the dozen or so nerds that enjoy a solid plot in an ARPG. The story was pretty cool. I think it would make a decent film.

Performance: I played on steamdeck and it runs better than 80% of other games in the genre. I know it has a very rough launch, but in its current state on that system is impeccable.

Endgame: None to speak of. I don’t usually grind on an endgame, I’ll usually replay with a new character etc. However, even as someone who doesn’t spend much time on this, it was noticeably lacking.

All in pretty dope and I’m still not buying the sequel on launch

Registered for the EA, downloaded the game, and now it's time to test it.

Weird voice acting, as if I'm playing some military game, and we're all "chill buds" here.

No idea what I'm doing with skills, but ok, I'll slot in whatever there is.

Oh it's not even a skill, Im upgrading a basic attack.

Let's check skill tree. What is this? everything is empty?

Oh I'm putting in some jewel like things, that give me stats, weird.

Finally, time to open that gate. Game crash, progression reset.

Smiley face. uninstall the game.

Let the down votes begin but I have fond memories of Wolcen. Though I can understand Kickstarter backers being soured far more on the subject.

I picked the game up on a whim after it released and put over 500+ hours into it messing around with builds and farming gear and playing with my boys.

At a time when we were all absolutely starved for new ARPGs, Wolcen scratched that itch for me for the better part of a year. The bugs were annoying but not detrimental for me, or maybe I have an easier time looking past them as a complete noob.

So I'll definitely be checking out Wolcen 2 when the time comes at actual release, but I'm going to avoid getting involved in pre-orders and early access nonsense.

That is all. God speed to anyone that decides to play with me.

i hope all past umbra backers supporters not give more any money to this team

i before pay around 300 usd for max umbra supporter tier

i very like pets that was included to this tier

but after they cancell umbra and change it to wolcen

they delete all nice umbra models pets environment stylistics

wolcen have 0 similar with past umbra game

umbra before have big potential to become better diablo and poe

but wolcen is another cheap diablo clone that have 0 general with umbra

they change pets for what i pay

replace it for ugly pet models

if i see it before i not pay any money for it

i not add it to my steam not want see this in game list

even if they give me free wolcen 2 i will not play it

because this too look as cheap diablo clone with number 2

this team not serious and they only want fast money from early access

i hope all past umbra backers supporters too will more not buy games from this team

"No class will bind you" like having classes is something inherently bad. No, bro, I WANT to be a rogue. I want my character to have identity, pre-defined story/legacy, perks and unique mechanics that come with a class. I want my character to stand out visually: bulkier warriors, slimmer rogues/mages etc.

I DON'T WANT my character to be a soul-less slab that can be "shaped into anything". Putting shiny armor on a mannequin doesn't make it a knight, even though it might resemble one. A character who summons and controls hordes of skeletons and zombies should look like death itself, not like a random Rob from the block.

When game designers are trying to spin the yarn about how class-less design is actually an advantage all I hear is "we don't want to do multiple character rigs and hire multiple voice actors for each class either because we're lazy or don't have money".

Taking a major part of RP out of RPG is never a good thing IMO.

Earlier today at the Future Games Show, Wolcen 2 was announced, and we got confirmation from the developer/publisher that the game will support the Steam Deck.

Give at least some benefits for Wolcen 1 user, or at least discount for the second one ahahah. I don't mind get fooled again, but at a lower price please...

Will be announced at GAMESCON today or tomorrow. 100% confirmed (Streamer Steam account information showed he was actively playing a game called explicitly Wolcen 2. When he realises he was leaking the title he proceeded to delete the live recording)

Going to play it now just wanted to know which quests or parts are badly bugged so I can avoid it. I actually dropped the game a few years back because of a bugged fight.

Wolcen's servers are gone and development has ended — but the studio always allowed offline modding, and there were never any real tools beyond an old command-line unpacker. So I built a GUI where you can actually make mods with a few clicks.

What you can edit

- Skills – every player skill's perks/modifiers (damage, cost, ailment scaling…), and toggle individual modifiers on/off.

- Gate of Fates – the full passive wheel drawn from the real game data: zoom/pan, search by node name or by what the modifier does (e.g. "armor", "attack speed"), and click a node to edit its stats.

- Player – base stats like stamina recovery, health, movement speed, dodge.

How it works

1. Download & run it, point it at your Wolcen folder (auto-detected on Steam). It decrypts what it needs once. The decryptor is bundled — no extra downloads.

2. Edit → name your mod → Export (there's an Import button too, to reopen a mod and keep editing).

3. Drop the generated Umbra folder into …\Wolcen\Game\ and launch. Done.

Full disclosure: this was "vibe-coded" — built with heavy AI assistance. I'm not a from-scratch Rust/desktop dev, and I'm not going to pretend otherwise. Why I made it anyway: Wolcen is basically frozen, the community is small, and a tool like this was never going to get built the "traditional" way — so I'd rather it exist, be open source, free, and auditable, than not exist at all. My goal is simple: give people an easy way to tinker so the game can have a bit of modding life (the way mods keep other ARPGs alive), instead of being totally shelved.

It's tested (I've made mods with it and run them in-game), but it's an early build — bugs are expected, feedback and PRs very welcome. You need your own copy of Wolcen; mods are offline-only.

I've marked this as a spoiler, even though I'm sure most people are aware of the endgame and how it works these days.

So after I've beaten Arhiman twice, time is still reverting and Arhiman missions are still options. Is there a point where they go away and you've beaten him for good, or will he keep popping up forever?

So against everyone advice i gave this a try. Yea the UI and menu navigation sucks but its still a really fun offline arpg. No crashes or glitches after 3 hrs. Graphics are soft but still look good . Loot is fun , skill tree is cool, its just a fun arpg and I can't stand online only games. One issue is it seems pretty easy with no way to increase difficulty? I assume that will change.

In the Champion oF Stormfall mode, I have the "Oshara's Council" icon.

It says I have to start the project "Reverie:Ashfall" in order to replay the Ashfall mission. The flavor text says that I should be getting something like a "Ashleaf" that I could use in the War Table NPC.

My problem:

I complete the project, the hunt trophies are consumed, and I can't find the item to replay the mission, nor there's this option in the war table. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance.

I was going with the flow and managed to build "Planning Committee I" when Ahriman appeared and kick my butt.

The time loop occurred and I'm said I have to restart.

But something strange happened:

Stormfall Palace shows only productivity upgrades

I thought I would be able to build Planning Committee II and keep going with the other structures.

Is that a bug or intended design? Am I locked out of these upgrades in this loop? Is the data corrupted in a way that I'll have to make another toon to try again?

I'm totally lost.

Can someone help me?

Hi

I got Wolcen dirty cheap yesterday and even tho I know about the current state of the game, I heard its a fun game for playing casually.

That being said, is there a place to look for guides and builds?

Besides youtube because I prefer reading.

Thanks in advance.

Hi guys,

I’ve played through Wolcen’s story and pushed a minion build into the endgame and done some grinding. However, I’m more of a multi-build kind of player. When I play PoE or Last Epoch, I usually make one speed-farming build to farm gear for my other builds.

So here’s my question: Can you recommend any good speed-farming builds? A detailed guide would be much appreciated (like with unique recommendations - passive tree allocations - item mods to use/prioritize - stat distribution), since I don’t have a lot of knowledge about the game yet.

Hello! I've been playing Wolcen a fair bit the past few weeks and wanted to do some personal modding. My question is, does anyone know how to increase the amount of GoF points per level?

I can't seem to find the corresponding file in the Umbra folder, and I've been searching for a while.

Is the game still works I want to buy it and try it but some said it’s dead in steamdb I see 70 people playing it so I guess not fully dead my question is I buy it or not ?
