  • If I could go back in time, I'd give myself one hint: Walls are the background, hammers destroy it. I'd then warn myself not to talk to anyone who had played the game until I was well into it.

    My first generated world now has a giant golden tower shaped like a penis in it.
  • See! You're having fun! :P
  • My reading of the wiki was just to satiate my "Want it now!" attitude since I couldn't actually play the game. The recipes automatically populate if you have the mats and are standing near the correct workstation so it's not too bad. I lol'd when I sat the game had "phaseswords".
  • Why do I feel I made a terrible mistake choosing a large world? This bitch is massive. i've been digging for HOURS and I have seen no lava or skeletons or anything!

    You should be seeing skeletons, but if you dig straight down in a 2 tile wide tunnel there won't be enough space for skeletons to spawn. Lava is just really deep down.

    This. Also I'd say it's better to seek out caverns on the groundlevel that will lead you to the depths, all the fun stuff is in the caverns, enemies, chests and you get deeper faster.
  • so after ~29 hours in the same small world I think I've done everything in Terraria.

    Not bad for $10

    There was a new patch. You can change the resolution now.

    Also, I just learned that Terraria NPCs are a stubborn bunch. I wanted my Merchant to move from his little cottage out in the boondocks to a more centralized, well defended loft in my castle. He obviously wouldn't move voluntarily, so to persuade him, I ripped all the furniture out of his house. Unfortunately, that didn't seem to do the trick, as he continued to huddle inside instead of pursuing my much more sensible alternative. With few options available, I opted to burn the cottage down and pulverize the rubble until nothing was left. Ever obstinate, he chose to wander around, homeless, braving the hordes of zombies and demons in the night rather than move into my goddamn castle.

    It wasn't until I wedged him into a box, built a huge elaborate tunnel underneath the box leading to his room in my castle, and then shoved him down into it, herding him the entire way until dropping him into his room, and sealing the doors from any potential escape, that he finally "agreed" to live where I wanted him to.

  • So I finally found lava and a mob named Tim. I had to smash him and take his hat.
  • Does someone have a server of this up? It's pretty fun. Laura and I have been playing.
  • Omar and I beat the game a while back. There's no reason to return. After you craft the best armor and weapons, there is no reason to use them.
  • If you are done the game, why are you in it right now Jason..

    Realized there were several items I hadn't looted yet. So I got them. There's still nothing to use them on.

    Also, I took down Skeletron real quick on a new map for funsies.
  • I need to find more shadow orbs for more meteorite. Stupid bastards are hiding from me. I really want in to the damned dungeon so I can beat this friggin game.

    Have you cleaned out the underground jungle and hell yet? you get way better stuff there.
  • To directly answer your question, no. I'm trying to get a full suit of meteor armor so I can shoot things endlessly with my Space Gun

    That will last you like 5 min until you discover the phoenix blaster or the star cannon.

    Orbs are at the bottom of corruption pits. Just drop down every one you find. Getting back up is a lot easier if you head to the underground jungle first and get the ivy whip.
  • I'm on a large map so finding anything special like the jungle is a BITCH. In fact, I haven't found it yet. I am, though, happy to report I've got enough Hellstone and obsidian to craft everything you can make out of those materials.
  • The underground jungle is typically directly under the corruption -- so if you go the edge of the corruption and dig down at an angle, you'll probably hit it.
  • Good to know. I'm really well equipped now that I have Molten everything. Now to Pokemon all the other items...

    Patch 1.0.4 today. The big addition is with vanity slots, where you can adjust your appearance without adjusting the bonus you get from equipment, as well as a bunch of "vanity items" which provide no benefit other than appearance. Also a new NPC, the Clothier.

    There are some other minor adjustments. Full log here.

  • Omar and I beat everything on a brand new map with the update, except for the two new minibosses. No sign of them yet.
  • I keep playing through it with new characters just because I end up having a new person to play through it with on multiplayer each time. Even that's getting old now, though. However, I will say that the introduction of bunnies helped to rejuvenate the game for me. Bunnies help everything. Although I was sad I couldn't pilfer their corpses for a bunny ears vanity item.

    Also, note from my latest character: fuck bats.
  • Currently running a FRCForums Terraria server - the game is way better if you've got people to play with.

    It's up now, people are playing, come join!
  • Skeletron's down. Enjoy raiding the dungeon.

  • Terraria is about to get "150% more difficult." Some of the new features look pretty awesome (grapple hotkey, anyone?).
  • I don't have Terraria, but when people say things like that I always wonder if they actually mean what they said (i.e. 2.5x as hard), or if they actually mean only 1.5x as hard.
  • Yeah, 2.5x does seem like a bit of a stretch; I think "more difficult" would have sufficed. We'll see, though.
