I haven't seen anyone give a compelling argument for bows and I haven't really tried using them in depth yet to see if they're decent or not. Initial impressions suggest no.

The compelling argument is finding a blue or purple one that way outclasses everything else you've got. They're serviceable. They're the between weapon as far as speed/damage, combo generation, and length of time necessary to aim your special.

I think the big thing boomerangs have going for them is that you can throw and immediately dodge while the boomerang continues to do damage.

Sprint the ranger skill, users chosing to exit game while connected, instead of going back to the start menu.

I wonder why Cubeworld got super-slammed by DDOSes and still doesn't have a functioning store days out while Starbound managed to sell like two million dollars worth of preorders problem-free. I would think that idiot reddit/4chan hate of VIRAL MARKETING would apply to Starbound too.

Well they already went through the release of Terraria right? I'd imagine the experience from that helped a bit.

Starbound and Terraria are not related at all outside of having one shared artist. They are made by different companies.

Also, Starbound has nothing to download yet, its just a paypal page for pre-order.

I'm still convinced it is one of the youtube super stars that is throwing a fit that they didn't get an early review copy so they can make that sweet ad-revenue. :v:

^^ Starbound has nothing to download yet but by the same token you literally can't even register on wollay's site 99.9% of the time due to server outages from DDOS, nevermind buy/download the game. ^^

In addition to what Enzer said, Terraria was also released through Steam rather than on an indie sales thing or through Amazon.

What do you other water mages like using as your weapon? Staff or Wand? The AoE tornadoes are pretty great but I just switched over to a wand and having AoE healing on the ground for a few seconds while I deal like 34 damage a shot is pretty nice too

I prefer Bracelets, although I'm not sure what the best weapon for water mages is.

It's just fun throwing fireballs like Goku I guess :shobon:

Yeah, I don't know either, but bracelets look best. I'm on a Wand at the moment and sad that I had to sacrifice coolness for stat points. No idea what's actually best.

I know when fighting NPC mages the weapon I hate most is the staff. That tornado can be painful.

As a water mage, I am liking the wands the best. The LMB attack still gets faster and faster as the combo counter goes up, it's just a little slower in the beginning since its only 1 weapon not 2. The RMB is also a nice 3 shot burst that not only can knock down multiple enemies at once, but also builds your combo counter to get the LMB attacking fast right off the bat. Bracelets were nice, but I really didnt like their RMB attack compared to the LMB RMB combo on the wand. Of course for some harder boss battles the bracelets may be better since I save just about all my mana for healing stream.

I'm running wands too, because of the aforementioned multiple hits and it also has a huge distance. I'm running fire, primarily since I play alone and I don't know how to switch to water. With fire at least, I have beat the hell out of almost everything I've come across outside of the giant ogre and bulls, and maybe some red bug dude I ran into when I was level 1.

I was lamenting the lack of things to kill and then tripped over a large set of ruins full of skeletons, zombies, and ghosts, and I'm having a blast now.

Yup, point it to Cube.exe and not CubeLauncher.exe and it works almost perfectly with the steam overlay.

When you're level 1, you can do it for free in the Skills menu. After that, you have to stand next to your class trainer - you're a mage, so it's the guy in purple with a staff on his back standing on a purple-and-white patterned floor in a pavilion - in the Adventuring District, and go into the Skills menu and pay a few silver.

There are class trainers?!

Also, can I only have one pet, and do they level up? So would it be best just to find one you can ride and then just stick with it?

There are class trainer, they are the guys standing in the arena-styled housings or the firing range, you can change sub class there.

Pets level up and you can have as many of them as your inventory allows, they take up one inventory slot in the pet-tab when not in use.

Yes, my pets always revert to their original level eventually. Their XP resets a lot for me, so getting them to level can be hard enough sometimes, but then getting them to keep that level seems impossible to me.

The server.cfg only has 1 option currently, and that is world seed. Just put the seed you want in that file using notepad.

Pets do not keep their experience on MP servers, need to play offline to level your pets.

Ya.. Warriors and Rogues can do it as well I believe. Pretty sure it's a bug.

First you equip the wand, then you middle click on the bracer you want to equip and it will go into your offhand. My dude has 212% tempo because of this :v:
