How do you aim spells?
« on: September 27, 2011, 01:53:22 am »
Just to chime in with the crowd ---- it looks great.  Just from the first screen, there's a feeling of a lot of depth to be plumbed.

But I'm confused by the controls already :(.  How do you aim spells like fireball and energy burst (I assume you can)?  I would have assumed they went in the direction of the cursor, but it seems like no matter where I have the cursor they go up at a 45-degree angle from the direction my character is facing.  Great for fighting up staircases, kinda useless for anything else.  Am I doing this wrong?

Yeah, guess so.  Kinda figured it must be my fault.

how are you casting things? if you press buttons on your mouse, it should go to your mouse cursor. if you are casting them from 1-5 on the keyboard, maybe something is wrong.

There are a few other control styles too, that might modifying stuff

Martyn, are you on a Mac? This seems to be a Mac issue that we're working on.

I was about to report this myself.  I'll go find the existing bug instead.
