    Very cool, hope the bug fixing is going well!

    But I'm kinda confused about that staff item
    Is it just a unique item, or is there some kind of "magic" that is being implemented that I haven't heard about?

    its possible if they create the staff with a similar? coding of a spear, which while making aiming easier (silly boy, real mean just shoot). I agree though i like the idea of the staffs gem aiming. But what is a staff without a Gandalf worthy raise and a cry of "DIE".

    Considering the whole "ore-sword" thing is a lame hack some overly-creative people came up with that's not a planned-for feature...

    Your mistake to pay for it tbh if you're not satisfied, it was kinda obvious that the game would still need optimization at this stage, because a lot of other indie games in development follow this pattern. Sure they optimize little things hand in hand with the new content from time to time, but the big optimizations usually happen later (I hope). Minecraft for instance did it like that as well, it's very playable nowadays while this wasn't the case a while back.

    They even said this _before_ the beta started.
    As for Minecraft being very playable.. From what i heard you need a highend machine for it to run sufficiently "good". On my Comp it definitely doesnt run great. (Playable though, but performance is horrible ;D)

    Well, I'm going to reinstall the game after not playing since Dec.
    I hope it is much better since then.

    Which is good, because it's super hard to make a good pause feature in a multiplayer game (here's looking at you, StarCraft).
    Sure, people are paying for this. Here's the thing though: Steam has the game under the section
    Early Access
    Honestly, all they are missing is a huge flashing neon sign. Personally I feel that if you jump into an early access game, having done no research on it at all, then you kind of deserve to get burned.
    A few minutes of research into Starbound's forum was all it took to find the updating schedule. A few more minutes of reading told me that the game is being managed by a competent staff, if a small one, and was being followed by a (mostly) good community. So, yes please, sign me up.

    Oh and by the way, being too lazy to translate to English on a site where they requested you write in English is only hurting your case.

    I'm very hyped about staves, since I was one of the magic-supporting dudes back when the forums where established. Omni, will those staves use the whole arsenal of projectiles that the game already has or are you guys working on new specific stuff?

    Acrond Yeah, You!

    Magic? I thought this was a space sci-fi game, magic will totally ruin the game for me
