Ever found yourself screaming “Freeze!” at a goblin in Mage Arena, only for your character to just stand there looking baffled? If you’re from the UK and picked the British accent option, don’t worry, you’re not going crazy. The feature is just a total, hilarious mess!
Here’s the quick fix: Just hop into the pause menu, go to voice settings, and switch it back to the default American accent. Problem solved!
So, what’s the deal? For a game that’s all about dueling other mages by casting spells with your voice, it looks like the game’s voice recognition just can’t handle anyone from across the pond. And no, we’re not just pulling your leg! Forums and YouTube are blowing up with British players saying the game just straight up ignores them. Trying to cast simple spells like “Freeze” or “Shield”? Good luck, you might as well be speaking another language. The weirdest part? “Fireball” seems to work just fine. Go figure!
Everyone online pretty much agrees: the Mage Arena British accent feature feels like it was designed by someone who’s only ever heard a British accent in a cheesy movie. People are joking that their spells get lost in translation somewhere over the Atlantic. It’s not even about getting fancy regional dialects right it seems like if you don’t sound like you’re from California, the game just gives up!
So, what’s the bottom line? Until the devs roll out a patch for this bizarre bug, our advice is pretty simple: just go with the American accent for now. Yeah, it might feel a little weird, but hey, at least your spells will actually, you know, work! You can save the Queen’s English for your victory speech once you finally get to freeze that goblin.
