In the game, you can play as one of four distinct classes. Each class has access to three different types of weapons:
- Warrior: Great weapons, dual-wielded one-handed weapons, shield + one-handed weapons
- Rogue: Daggers, fist weapons, longswords
- Spirit Mage: Staffs, wands, bracelets
- Ranger: Bows, crossbows, boomerangs
With procedurally generated worlds, random adventuring parties wandering around like the player, and scaled difficulty levels, Cube World will definitely scratch that adventurer's itch! Be sure to check out the Cube World wiki for all the latest game info!
Anyway, it's just a minor advertisment why do you guys keep making it such a huge de-
I forgot, that I'm on the internet.
Now my first response was that "hmm, that's a fairly silly thing to post as Minecraft news. No biggie, it's a pretty cool game and it's not surprising that games inspired by Minecraft might be mentioned here, like with Terraria".
But reading the responses- holy crap. I can't believe the sheer ignorance and lack of cohesive arguments that people come up with- "It's minecraft forums so it should only be about minecraft". Even a "Minecraft News" item doesn't have that rule. The news has to be Minecraft related, and this is Minecraft related because Cube World is inspired by Minecraft. The reason it is provided as a news item here is because it's likely that players of Minecraft may like the game.
I don't know when you became able to decide what belongs here and what doesn't. You can always start your own website devoted to Minecraft; with an Iron Fist you can make sure all content is related to Minecraft.
You don't need to have permission to create content about a game. Anybody can do it.
What is your point? If you want news about Microsoft, do you have to go to Microsoft.com? Do news websites not have "affiliation" with Microsoft and therefore are they not allowed to write anything about it? No, of course not. The advantage of a wiki or other resource that isn't directly affiliated with the game is that they have no need to suck up to the creators. Criticisms can be unabashed. On the other hand, of course, it also means that they will be less likely to learn more about upcoming features through direct dev communication.
Following your very own argument, this site should not have Mojang news either.
That doesn't mean it's different. Cobalt is published by Mojang, but the affiliation ends there. It's also a much different game from Minecraft than Cubeworld is. The chances of a given Minecraft player enjoying Cobalt is less, simply because it's really a completely different game.
Games are not mutually exclusive and therefore "competition" is hardly the appropriate term. Thankfully, the vendors of both games (Mojang and Picroma) are more enlightened and have had pleasant discourse through twitter and other channels. (Wolfram is even giving all Mojang employees a free copy of the game, to my understanding). I think not mentioning the game would be worse; "Here is this game similar to Minecraft, let's cover it up and not tell anybody because it's our 'competition'. Being open about similar games and what they do differently is better than pretending they don't exist.
Indeed. However what you are asking the MC Forums to do is effectively sensor non MC related content. That never ends well because it creates an environment that eventually degrades to not only not allowing non Minecraft content, but disallowing all non MC-related discourse, and eventually disallowing any discourse negative to Minecraft at all.
Actually I think this shows the people that are on the Minecraft forums are not in fact the same as other forums but a bunch of entitled pricks who are still teens living under their parents roof. This is not a MOJANG forum idiots, this is a CURSE forum, and therefore CURSE can do whatever they want with it. If they choose to promote another wiki that they are in fact running then they can do so, and will do so. There was a hell of a lot less flack even when Terraria was mentioned on these forums, and that game caused endless discussions about supposedly "stealing" from minecraft. Curse also owns that forum too.
The crap about how Cobalt never got any flack because its a Mojang game is hilarious. Again, this is not a Mojang forum therefore Cobalt would belong here even less then Cubeworld, which was at least inspired by Minecraft.
Made it just for you guys.
Don't think it will beat Minecraft for ME though, since its not really a full sandbox game.
But its still awesome!
And stop your complaining some of you saying that this is a forum JUST for minecraft stuff... :/
True, it is a MINECRAFT forum... That doesn't mean they can't post other stuff as well though.
I only say this because I hope that this will shock Minecraft back into developing that good ol' sandbox and adventure gameplay, because I doubt their attempts at delivering RPG and PvP elements will deliver the same amount of fun that I can see in Cube World. Making a turn around like that would definitely convince the old Beta 1.7.3 players to come back.
(especially that beautiful 404 permission error)
(I'm not going to join in the rage... I try to stay out of stuff like that.)
