Cube World - Pre-orders & Alpha access

[Koh]

I was pretty distracted by my graphics card IMMEDIATELY jumping to crazy temperatures to pay much attention but I fought a turtle and it kind of did way too much damage (while, if i was reading it correctly, I was doing less than 1 damage per hit)

EXACTLY! Everything is so overpowered. The only way I've been able to get by so far is to fight easy things like Flies and Bats, and gather up a lot of Ginseng to make Ginseng Soup. You'll be doing this for quite some time...I reached Level 2 and am still having difficulty navigating the world without getting killed by something I'm unable to fight. The game has some serious balancing issues. At least exploring is actually rewarding though. I found a town today where you can rest in an inn and craft items. I got my hands on a nice new Iron Armor from the material I gathered and logged out.

There's also a serious problem with the respawn points. There are plenty of instances where you'll spawn, and there'll be enemies RIGHT THERE and spawn kill you. Also, if you take a single step into a new region and die there, it'll immediately put you at some spawn point in that region, even if you've never actually walked there before. I've got put in the middle of a lizardman territory so many times; fighting back is impossible, and you get utterly gangbanged. The only thing you can do is one in the direction of the nearest region and hope for the best. Once you get there and die, you'll spawn somewhere else in that same region. I can't even begin to count how many times my character has perished just from the sheer power from most of these enemies near the noob zones(?). Don't fuck with the Raccoons.
