How the fuck did Terraria nail it?

Only if you're playing indie shit.

remember that musicless trailer?

The game designed around playing on multiple worlds, m8. Ore types and Corruption/Crimson dichotomy was meant to emphasize that point.

I don't know what are you talking about mate.
Finished it on expert with a friend, pic related.

One thing is effort like, creating an arena and being creative around it.
Another thing is about fucking you in the ass so hard that everything in your world is useless because you have no knowledge of it.

Bosses being hard: Understandable
Things that appear out of the blue and fuck your world: Not okay

Creating a world may be fast, but then again, you have to re-do everything.
If Plantera got fucked for A or B reasons, you have to kill all the previous bosses again, build your house again and be on the run for corruption again.>10651421

Not counting open world litterboxes, ala anything Ubisoft puts out nowadays, the standard for a AAA singleplayer is 5 hours.

I didn't feel like using a wiki so I was done with the game in an hour.
Then I lurked some turbo-guides, tried again for another hour…
I was uninstalling later.
Nope, not for me.

But it's undeniable the game has some hardcore dedicated autist fanbase, so the question is: was it necesary to cut the userbase? Was the lack of, say, tutorial not an impedement but a requirement to get the userbase?

I'm a casual for minecraft and I only check some "recipe" for crafting stuff, but I always could just explore and spend whole days just walking around and building castles without worrying about dooming my game.

Let's Play Terraria Pt. 1 "Hello World"
Uploaded on Apr 19, 2011
Red and Blue playing Terraria Alpha

You don't have to redo shit.

You have one world with all your chests and shit, all your NPCs (who cannot, I will remind you, be permanently lost) and then all the others where you explore for more shit if you need it. Only a few enemies break blocks, and you can't lose shit in chests. So you empty your inventory, take a stack of TNT, build a new world and dynamite your way down to a a new cave system.

Maybe you redo a boss, but that get you money and other resources.

Unless you're literally saying that you build a new base in every single world you make, in which case, what the fuck is wrong with you?

The secret is super mysterious lore.

Sure thing, buckaroo.

but you have a tutorial fam, what do you think the guide is for?

also what the fuck happened to 1.3.3 wasnt it supposed to launch september 2?

By taking ideas from metroidvanias rather than just making a shitty empty sandbox.
Of course, you can just be a little builder shit but where's the fun in that? Eventually you get better gear, more health, find better ores and find out that to go further you need to fight shit and explore previously unavailable portions of map that were either guarded by something or just too tough to beat.
tl;dr terraria is way closer to metroidvanias than to sandboxes

2D, probably.

Jeez, user, you know the Guide is like, right there, correct? The game's not that hard, and I never played it until I picked it up on Expert one day.

Try Starbound, now it's worth it. The story is quite short but the exploration is quite comfy and enjoyable.
There is no burden of knowledge and you can find so many planets that you won't run of materials ever neither you will doom your main base or any world by doing something without you knowing.

There are no enemies that break blocks anymore, the house is safe.
I know about the NPC, how do you think I got to WoF without that? You have to sacrifice the guide after all.

Yes, every new world you are forced to kill the dungeon boss, WoF and make sure corruption doesnt destroy your jungle so you are not forced to make a third world because of Plantera.
Again, you would require a new base / house whatever you amy call it for the NPCs and you. But you know, even commie blocks takes a while to build.
Same, if you are looking for anklet or other kind of items (like the boots), you are again forced to create a new world to look for them. In this case, the boots just require to reach both ends of the world and is quite fast, however the other one requires a fucklot of time and exploration just for that shit.

And no, the different biomes for corruption is not to "push you" to make another world. Is so your other runs feel different with not only being procedually generated randomness.

That, my friend, is not a proper tutorial. That fucker just tells you what you can craft with those mats. It doesn't tell you jack shit. It's not even worth for that since you don't know how to pick up those mats.

Literally all the Guide does is tell you what shit makes what in the future, and give you tips on how to progress. What the fuck are you talking about?

Oh, nevermind, I see now.

Why?

You can visit them on home world. You can go back. You can't lose them, so why remake them on another world? Why? There's no point, it's a waste of time.

user, don't speak of matters you know little about. If you don't have the 'tism, then you'll never understand.

This is the biggest thing about it. Most procedural generation is just random shit everywhere because the devs are too lazy to do any real design whatsoever. This leads to everything feeling homogenized, bland, and repetitive, see Nu Man's Sky and Starbound.

Even though Terraria is procedural, every area still feels unique and memorable. You can tell that there was a lot of thought put into how all the enemies and environmental hazards would work together. And even though most of the enemies are extremely similar, they have just enough small changes between all their different version to make a significant difference. Give a skeleton the ability to teleport, and the entire idea of where a player is safe changes. Enemy progression is also well matched to the player's item progression. You start getting with more aggressive flying enemies, or enemies with projectiles as soon as players start to get significant vertical mobility.

Not to mention the art direction and music manage to make the game more atmospheric than multi million dollar AAA titles that are backed by a full orchestra with skyboxes that took months to construct.

Basically this.

If you want actual autism fuel, you need wires.
To get wires you need to fucking progress the game at least past the fucking skeletron. Or even well into hardmode so you can get the fucking logic gates.

To be fair the craftin is a bit more straight forward than minecraft's system

and honestly I don't really see that as a negative, having to learn systems should be a part of any game really, if everything is handed to you, where is the challenge?

as for corruption/crimson spread, it telegraphs itself, especially in hard mode, so it's not that hard

I agree the bosses can be an issue, however they don't come ever night and even then you get 10 minutes of prep time to deal with them

Uh… I know?

...

OP: It has lots of content and keeps getting updated for free

The Eye of Cthulhu has a 30% chance of spawning if you have at least 200 HP. This is five heart containers, and you've probably got a set of metal armor, grenades, and several accessories by this point. This is trivial.

Corruption creep is disgustingly slow pre-hardmode, and doesn't overwrite stone and is blocked by sunflowers, which are easily purchased after killing the Eye of Cthulhu.

Terraria's is more flexible because you can choose the output item from a list of identical input items. With Minecraft, you had to actively reconfigure the shape which is tedious if you wanted something slightly different. Both games have an N:1 crafting system, though.

Does the guide tells you how to get fishron?
The guide is just for recipes, that is fucking all.

There's a guy, that is asking for casual fun while saying minecraft and I'm recommending something to him. Is it really hard for you to understand?

Why would I fucking move from world to world every single time I want something? If world 1 is fucked, I don't want to go there and waste time going there again and again and again just for the NPCs / chests / whatever is on the house.
It's even worse in multiplayer.

There is nothing negative in learning.
There is nothing bad in adapt.
There is a lot of wrong when there is so much shit hidden that will punish the player just because he never knew unless he goes and ask someone else.

That's the biggest selling point of Terraria.

Nigger please, come next time with an argument.

You need to be prepared for the Eye or you will die, period.
If you explore and hence grab the hearts, you use them since they are just permanent buffs to your HP, increasing it, you don't expect a punish out of that.
Sometimes by exploring, you dont have mats to craft yourself something nice or you got lucky with hearts before.
What's more, if the eye spawns and you don't have proper ranged weapons there is no way you can kill it. No newbie will use granades or stock them either.

Holy shit, I don't know how it's possible for someone to be so stupid that they never talked to the very first person in every new world created. I'm laughing so hard right now tears are coming out.

How does it get fucked?

You lose access to one boss? Makes sense to make a single fucking world for that boss, visit it to get the boss, and GO BACK TO YOUR OWN WHEN YOU NEED THE NPCS, which should be only rarely if you prepare properly! Let's go over what you need:

This, plus the stacks of potions, your weapon of choice, and so on, are /all you need/ to take on plantera. You don't need the Demolitionist - you can buy from him back home. You don't need the Nurse, unless you fuck up on some unimaginable level. You don't need your crafting station. You don't even need inventory space!

Just, fuck, you claim to understand the mechanics, but you clearly don't, if you for some reason think you /literally need to bring your npcs along to specific-purpose worlds/.

What the flying fuck, man?

Lads, I think DSP discovered terraria.

It's very important to note that the corruption/crimson spreading issue mostly comes down to an aesthetic thing. It doesn't cause you to lose the game or be unable to progress. Anything destroyed by spread can be reverted by the clentaminator with the exception of the jungle. Even the UG jungle is now resistant to spread thanks to the new chlorophyte mechanic, and even if you were to lose your entire jungle you can build an artificial one.

Just because your retard ass didn't use them doesn't mean no-one else did

You don't even need the clement to build your own jungle! JUST TNT, MUD, AND SEEDS! FUCK!

okay maybe some slime for sticky tnt.

I'm guessing it's TLGamer.

No Plantera = No Golem. You know the rest like invasions and such. So, yeah, World 1 is fucked because of this.
Again, the most extreme case of fuck ups on Terraria is Plantera and all surrounding it.

If you fuck up the fights, you can keep looking for it and build another arena, however, corruption fucking the jungle won't let Planetera spawn.

Ask that to someone that is starting the game.

Again, all of you are assuming that everyone has knowledge of the game when that is the main point that I'm bringing. Terraria is good as long as you know what you're doing, but when you go blind is a piece of shit that punishes you "randomly" because you have no idea what is going on. I did complete the game on expert and I have been in other worlds with new players and I have seen what has happened when people that knew said nothing.

The game has a fuckton of flaws and is by no means user friendly at all.
It's a shit game unless you know what you're doing, then it's enjoyable.

You can even just add mud to an existing glowing mushroom biome then turn it green when it's expanded enough.

You know the jungle biome happens when there's like 50 jungle grass blocks nearby, right? You can reclaim it just fine.

...

mfw I mined the dungeon and now can't get those weird cultists to spawn

I don't understand how you're losing Plantera.

You can make a jungle anywhere with mud and seeds and the plantera bulb can grow on it.

If you're saying that a player can mess it up on their first playthough that is amazingly unlikely. You would have to take days and days and days of not progressing for the corruption to take it over.

I think most people arguing with you are assuming the player isn't a complete retard.

If it was a shit game when I didn't know anything, I wouldn't have ended up putting as much time as I have into it.

This should be the rule

What a valiant defense of casualization and appealing to the lowest denominator. Quite excellent, but you forgot to mention any problematic elements, so you'll need a bit more work before you're accepted into NeoGAF.

It's still THERE, though. You can use it for storage, for NPCs, hell, it might even be a bit better for it because you don't have to worry about shit. After all, if you've lost the jungle (And don't seem to want to/know to reclaim it) you can just not make it hardmode and do that on another world.

In fact, that's what I actually did - I heard hardmode made a whole world hard to use, so I just did it to another world. It got solidly Hollow/Corrupt, so I made a third once I found out about plantera and Golem.

One base. Three worlds. Zero issues. Yes, I had to look some of this up, but it wasn't the end of the world and it was endgame shit. Literally the last third of the game.

It. Wasn't. That. Bad.

But that's the point, chlorophyte ore protects the UG jungle automatically whether you know about it or not. And jungle is immune to spread pre-hardmode. AND the spread slows down after you beat all three mech's. The only thing you're going to lose is the above ground jungle but that doesn't give you anything special other than mahogany.

Literally the best thing Terraria has over Minecraft is that you don't need the wiki at all. In Minecraft there is pretty much NO WAY to figure the recipes or what you need to do to ""progress"", with the little amount of progress in the game that is.
I played Terraria without looking at the wiki and could figure out 99% of the things on my own with the in game guide, the only one I couldn't figure out was what demon altars were supposed to be, and when I looked it up I felt retarded.
The only thing I believe needs a bigger clue is what are you supposed to do with the dolls, considering 2/3 of the game are gated behind one of them, I believe I was not lucky enough to accidentally kill a demon and let the doll fall in the lava.
The game has flaws but it is definitely nowhere near as bad as you put it, most of the fun is in figuring those things out.

>tfw still can't beat The Twins, even on a large world with a minecart track spanning the world

Use Ichor if you're on a Crimson world.

What if I'm not? Crimson items are so far behind the power curve, I can't think of a single one that would help in that fight.

i dont see the issue with this.

You actually can get them back and in fact they don't even need dungeon to spawn them. Just go to where the dungeon was and flatten it out. Then just add a flat row of blocks at a time and then walk a screen or two away until they respawn.

Crimson hardmode items are actually fairly useful. Golden Shower, ichor-based bullets/arrows, etc are pretty solid.

The simple answer was that it wasn't made by retarded people - something really, really rare in [the current year]'s videogame industry.

Frostburn nigga! Or better yet frostburn + shadowflame. Frost armor is easy to get and the goblins are just as easy to summon in hardmode as pre-hardmode.

Oh right, hardmode items exist.
I had good luck and got Daedalus and Holy Arrows against the other bosses

well technically to a new player it IS all hidden, and thus must be learned

also there are hints that plantera is fightable when you kill all 3 bosses, it's a way of telling the player something is new without outright telling them where and what

also the guide has come a bit of ways and does help newbies get some shit together, I agree with the RNG of world spawning items, but then again Terraria is a game that tries to encourage multiple worlds

Yeah, kill Plantera in that small room, which needs to be underground as well. Your only way of killing it is with exploits with self damage and abusing the i-frames when hit.

I am not, learn to read. I'm using examples on newbies.

Please. That is not a challenge.
A challenge is a boss fight or invasion, a challenge is not needing to use a wiki to go on. Where is the challenge in needing "walkthroughs" ?

Does that really happen?
I know that you could fuck up the water and thus fuck up fishron but I didn't think about that.
Most probably can be fixed with dungeon blocks wherever you took it.

Not as effective as holy water, chloro will not let you have enough room for the boss fight.

Finally you're saying that I'm right, and this is the entire point.

My point is not "waa, I can't do it" when I already did it without a problem.
My point is not "waa, the game is hard" when that is actually good
My point is, and was, since the beginning that the game didn't nailed it since it has flaws, which ones? Burden of knowledge, when you don't know jack shit you are doomed to do trial and error with a strong autism so you don't jump into another game.

That, is the main problem, if you can't hold it because lack of autism you are going to drop the game. I have seen this far too many times with far too many people about Terraria. I have seen their points, I have seen the problems. To understand an argument, you need to see their PoV even if you never had a problem to begin with.

A new player don't know about it and sometimes the mats needed to fix the shit is actually quite important

Ofcourse I can jerk off and go on about how great I am and how shit other players are, but that is hollow that only works for people that lack self-steem so they can feel better with themselves.

ranger is fucking OP

Then the new player must learn.

DSP please

Did you know that clicking on the screen will swing your sword?
Like, comment, and subscribe for more hot tips the Guide doesn't want you to know!

I'm not saying you're correct, I'm saying your 'point' is meaningless. While some of this stuff is indeed obscure, /it doesn't matter in the long run/.

If you could not make new worlds, you'd have a point. If you could not rebuild the jungle, you would have a point. If it took more than fifteen minutes from spawn on world to plantera fight to actually get to her when prepped, you would have a fucking point.

But you don't. You can make new worlds. You can rebuild the jungle.

AND NONE, I REPEAT, NONE OF YOUR ISSUES ARE EVEN PRE-HARDMODE.

Lots of "little victories" that you had to earn.

Want to build a castle? Find your materials and build it. Work out what a hammer does to it.

Want to get a nice set of armor? Find the materials and forge it. Now your armor has a bonus, maybe a new kind of bonus.

Want to beat that boss? Work it out shitlord. Get some potions, build an arena, and think where you screw up. And look- you got sick ass drops for it.

And every victory fed you the next one.
How can I improve what I built?
What will the next tier of armor do?
What does the boss' gear do, and what will the next boss do?

In terms of difficulty progression, it's almost perfect.
You are getting a sense of achievement, in an era where games praise you for doing basic shit, and at a baby level of difficulty.

No, your point is "Waa, I can't figure any shit on my own I need people to explicitly tell me what to do in a game" which is why you are DSP tier cancer and nobody likes your posts.
If this was Minecraft I would have agreed with you, since there is absolutely no way whatsoever to figure most of the shit on your own. But on Terraria given enough time you can put 2 + 2 and figure out everything, mostly since the guide can tell you exactly how to craft an item, and you can use that information to progress correctly even if you can't craft said item yet.

This tbh fam

How is the 3DS version of the game?

That is the whole point and the ordeal of the game.
However the tools for this are poor and thus making the inexperience frustrated, making the player leave and never come back. One thing is being able with autism to keep going, or because you are seeking a challenge, but we both know that most players will just give up.

The best way in Terraria to learn, is to play with someone that knows or using a wiki constantly (or a walkthrough even)

Yes you did say I am correct and keep saying it.
That is why it's called burden of knowledge boy. In the long run, if you keep at it somehow, you finally learn it and know how to fix it. However, someone that lacks patience? They'll just leave because they don't know.

200HP 33% chance of appear Eye of Cthulhu at night.
Arguably Skelly on the dungeon since it's a "surprise get fucked" arguably since it's only one death, no big deal except if your autism can't handle the money loss
Arguably Skelly on Expert since you need to be really prepared with potions up your ass arguably because its expert, you are suppossed to know

Again
You are seeing this from a high position and not thinking in what can easily improve the game.
Neither I did have any problem, but it's quite stupid to not have warnings for the player in these cases.

Expert has a pass since it's suppossed to be expert and thus the game can stay as it is here.

Unmoddable

...

Alright, if the game is so reliant on my knowing shit, what are some basic things to keep in mind while I play?

I have a bunch of infographs on how to make comfy buildings already, but I'm talking about the actual gameplay and objectives.

Know how to read.
Have basic situational awareness.
Don't be shit at video games like 17078b.

Talk to the guide
There you have it, a playthrough devoid of wooooows

sure fam

Literally nothing you just said is true unless you're shit at games in general. Going in blind, I never had any problems.

Not to be a shit like the other two: Progress carefully. Armor first, then weapons, then health and mana. Don't be afraid to make multiple small worlds. Make your first one HUGE. Don't worry overmuch about world-specific things like dungeon color and ore types. DON'T kill the cultist at first blush. Dynamite mining is FANTASTIC and fast.

ROPE IS HELLA USEFUL HOLY SHIT EARLY GAME ROPE IS YOUR BEST FUCKING FRIEND

i would recommend starting on expert, you get a much better loot from bosses and it is as hard as it sounds

it isnt as hard as it sounds*

It actually has gameplay. Minecraft is about the building, first and foremost, the combat and survival shit is clearly an afterthought.

It also helps not to have retarded devs like Starbound did.

Bad.

Listen to what all the NPC's have to say, not just the guide.
Read the tool tips on the items and materials you get.
Any time you get a new item, material, or block take to th Guide and have him identify if it can be crafted into something new.
Buff potions are your friend. So are buff stations.
Mind your reforges on your accessories.
Don't move stars around your inventories during the day.
GET RID OF THAT FUCKING COPPER SHORT SWORD AND MAKE A WOOD OR CACTUS BROADSWORD.
If you want Pinkie Pie around keep her safely away from all the monsters trying to rape her to death.
Get a fishing pole and net.

Also echoing that is a moron. You don't need a wiki to play Terraria, thanks to the guide.

Jesus christ, what?

sup neo/v/

nigger

Yes, no one that goes on Holla Forums has (or should) have any problems with it because we have a culture of keep going and improving in games.

All of these points started being visible the more I saw people play that had no idea about the game.

This except the Huge (I'll explain below) and remember to collect the stars that drop at night for maximum mana and arrows.
Do not spend all your life crystals like they are candy, stop at 180 and start stacking the rest so you don't get an unpleasant surprise if you are not ready. A bow with the proper arrows and boots with double jump should suffice, hooks are helpful as well
Expert gives you more shit but it is a challenge for those who lack knowledge, however you should give it a try. If you can't, go back to normal.
About the HUGE world: When you have a huge world, you have the same resources than a small one, they are just distributed in a bigger world. You're better off making a small world, however, having a huge world has some advantages like arenas for bosses being more comfy and having more room for trial and error. It is your choice: easier and faster to obtain resources - small, easier arenas - huge. I don't know if the latest patches changed that though

The lead dev of terraria made a character in the game have similarities with MLP for his daughter because she likes MLP.

It's the hairdresser isn't it?

...

No the party girl. I think the hairdresser was a fan submission.

Fuck off, Meat.

The only essential thing to know is how to build a house for NPCs to live inside.

Housing is important because after you complete various tasks, NPCs will only show up if there is vacant housing; there are about 30+ NPCs in the game. For example, the Dryad will show up only after you kill the Eye of Cthulhu (which spawns after you obtain 200+ HP). She will sell you an item that lets you progress in the Crimson/Corruption, for example.

In regards to what other anons have said, take any new "material" to the guide to see what it builds into. There's lots of cosmetic things, but half the fun is accumulating resources to build comfy bases.

If you're playing on a Normal character (normal/mediumcore/hardcore) you only lose gold on death; the other modes drop your items or delete your character and are generally too tedious to play seriously. You can also general a Normal or Expert world; the latter makes bosses marginally tougher and have a few unique drops. Might as well. You can also choose a Small/Medium/Large world. Medium is probably best for your first time. Hardmode is what happens when you progress through a world enough.

Building armor first is … I don't like it. I've always enjoyed have a strong longsword to deal with enemies at night very quickly. You should have Silver or Gold armor to fight the Eye of Cthulhu, though.

anyone else watches this guy videos? he's a bit on the autismo side but most of the content is awesome, also he plays really, really good

i say he because i dont really think it is a girl, maybe it is who knows

...

I think you mean at most.
Not even that. Platforms can substitute for a door. It doesn't have to be a table, it can be any furniture with a flat surface (so pianos and bookshelves work too). Any light source works, and I don't think it has to be a chair either. It can be any "comfort" furniture, such as a sofa, a bath or even a bed.

In regards to everything else you say, I agree. Pickaxes are essential, but remember you don't need one to remove corruption/crimson stone if you have bombs or TNT.

combat and gear isnt an afterthought in terraria. neither the game or sandbox aspect feel half assed, they blend together well and end up complimenting eachother.
minecraft being disappointing in most regards also lends to terraria looking better in comparison as you get to say "oh wow, heres that thing from the other game but cooler"
and all the content patches end up feeling like expansion packs that you didnt have to pay for. the game shifts around so much from beginning to end.

But don't you know that Holla Forums is one person? Haven't you ever been in one of these excellent threads before? I think you need to lurk more, newfriend.

thanks friend, i'll upvote you for being so nice :)

#56 is best style. It flows as you move and is simply gorgeous with the right dye.

dryad is best girl

Yeah, this guy brings up a good point. Building shit has just as much progression and takes just as much skill as exploration and combat, just in a different way.
You want good materials to build with? You need the gear to go get it.
Wanna make your house a nice color? Make a gallery for the painter.
You want to fly around placing, removing, and coloring blocks in an instant? Get to the endgame.

Well, I tailored it to a guy going in blind. He's never made a house before, he wouldn't know the exact mechanics for platforms and stuff. I usually made my things 10x3 for the longest time

Fighting Plantera in a little room is entirely possible. Well maybe not a little room, you need space to move around, but I'm only talking about a square as tall as your screen or so. Making an artificial jungle that size would not be difficult.

But really don't totally believe this destroyed jungle meme. I've never seen it happen, and I rarely take any special precautions anymore. The surface jungle you can lose, but chlorophyte seems to do a decent job of protecting the underground, and even before that change it would have taken long time for the whole thing to disappear. As far as I can see it's just something players like to worry about, kind of like protecting the party girl.

Fun tip, when placing walls, press ctrl to toggle a mode where you can just hold the button and fill a space with wall.

You know what, even if the game basically throws you in without any real sort of tutorial it's still much more of a fun time learning as you go than any other game of its kind.

Yeah, chloro do a good job, after 1.3 when the ore took this new effect. It wasn't like that before.

If the jungle is surrounded by corrupted areas and the world is in small, you're on time attack mode more or less. It's hard for this to happen, but it could happen.

No he wouldnt, the only thing at best he would get is an NPC saying "This is not a suitable house".

One thing I wish they had was more earlygame options without having to explore underground.

For example, I made a very short-lived mod years ago that let you crush stone to get gravel/saltpetre, collect sulfurous water from the jungle (eg peat bogs) and dry it for sulfur, and burning wood to get charcoal, which you could then use to make gunpowder with copper, iron, or silver to make bullets, bombs, grenades, and dynamite. It cost something like 60 stone to have enough powder to make a stick of dynamite so it was basically sustainable if you used it for digging.

Guide does tell you that you need a door, a table, a chair and a light source tho

It's true I never played small worlds much, maybe that's why it never seemed like a problem for me

Ugg, unsuitable houses. Finally someone brought up a part of the game that really can be frustrating. Even experienced players are sometimes mystified by why a particular house isn't acceptable. If you stick with the basic "wooden box" house on the surface it's not so bad, but as soon as you start trying to get creative various problems can crop up and the game does not give good feedback about what's wrong.

I think the furniture requirements are the only errors that get specific messages. If it's too big, too small, too corrupted, has improper walls, lacks a place to stand and probably some other things I'm not thinking of, it just tells you "not valid housing".

there's a perfect game for people like you out there, it's called no mans sky go play it fam

I was talking about how most enemies hit you for 1 damage when you go melee tank, besides the mechanical bosses are so far behind once you get to the end it's nothing to be proud about.

...

Nigga if your jungle gets fucked or whatever just grab your shit and make another world. You can transfer literally everything. Stop being a fucking baby, it only takes five minutes to plonk down a chest or two in your new world and transfer everything.

Terraria came out like five years ago, what the fuck are you talking about?

And on that note, purification powder. Use it, it remains useful until hardmode. If you can't figure out how to keep the corruption at bay by then just open the wiki.

The only thing Terraria did wrong is HP bloat on Expert Mode.

That shit should be new attacks that are hyper-lethal only, instead of "OH WELL THE BOSS HAS DOUBLE HP AND YOU TAKE DOUBLE DAMAGE BIG FUCKING SHIT". Fishron and Moon Lord are both cancer On expert mode only.

Beyond that, Terraria was the best purchase I never made. Traded some TF2 hats that plummeted in value for the game. Totally worth it.

In the time that I've taken to get to the "beat the first boss and start going to planets to scan for specific bullshit", I could have gotten to hard mode in Terraria and actually had some fun.

Let's skip past whether Terraria is hard or not. What about the gameplay is fun?

Apparently 1.3.3 is imminent. Just thought everyone should know.

It does the explore/fight/collect/craft cycle of autism pretty well.

insanely so.

yeah, gunna do another playthrough and make home in the snow biome so i can have comfy blizzards.

hopefully some of the mods i wanna use will work with it

I meant the basics, the 2D jump and fightan.

What?

Exploration is pretty great. That's one of the things that's a bit of a letdown about hardmode, there's nothing left to explore. Well except the jungle temple but it's pretty small and frankly need somewhat of an overhaul. There needs to be more structures that are locked until hardmode.
The two seasonal events are pretty nice too.

I think the HP bloat was a good addition.
Having the enemies' attack be doubled effectively means that you must dodge twice as well or die in the process, which is great, but having greater HP also means that enemies pose a threat for a longer time momentarily AND in the long run, that is, you may have better weapons but they still wont get one shot.

I don't play platformers so I don't have a frame of reference but it felt pretty good.

Just pirate the game and see for yourself. If you like it, support the developer so he can make more good games like terraria to counter the shit thats been spewing out recently.

I already tried playing it and couldn't get into it. The combat and movement just didn't feel very good. I don't know if that's just me or not, though.

How long did you play for? Until you get some movement accessories spelunking can be kind of a pain in the ass. I know when ever I start a new character it feel insanely sluggish.

If it matters, they start you out with shit movement so that you can appreciate some of the items like hooks or hover boots/speed boots that make movement bearable.

Hooks are the easiest early game movement items you can get some what simply. If you can master the hook, you can have quite a bit of fun (in my opinion) flying around caves and using hook momentum to "fly" and "run" without wings or boots.

What the fuck. I really don't get it. Terraria was boring as fuck in my opinion, I really can't get why so many anons suck its dick in a daily basis.

Everywhere, everyone says that Terraria is better than any other exploration/crafting game.
But I fail to get it.

The graphics are horrible,
The best weapons take ages to find,
Bosses are hard as fuck.

I sometimes think that you need to be an autist to actually enjoy this game.
Please anons tell me what the FUCK I am doing wrong because I want to experience this game, yet I fail everytime.

Then dont play it if you didnt like it. You probably hated the combat due to the shortsword you start out with though. That thing is awful and not every sword you have to spam click. Try it again with a friend or some shit, or join the Holla Forums server and they'll help you out.
Also what said. You get pretty strong late game, and you get wings.

I don't think it "nailed" the exploration aspect at all, you ask me. The game's frankly rather shoddy in that department.
Not a bad game, by all means, but I never got any sense of wonder from exploration in it. The maps are far too small and far too little is around for that.

That image really is tiny.

Like I treasure how tiny that shit is user.

Not every game is going to click with everyone, but terraria really gives me the balance of grinding building and looting I always wanted out of one of these games. It just works.

The shortsword was very bad, yes. I might give it another try if combat and movement improves as you progress through the game. Having a hook sounds pretty fun, too.

Superior Apache helicopters.

I dunno what to tell you, man.

I really wanna get into Deus Ex but every time I try I end up quitting.

Hook, ropes, double jumping/floating accesories that you can mix or match. Plenty of options once you get going.

Stop trying to fit in, you wont like every single game everyone else likes. Thats how a fucking normalfag thinks. Normalfags force themselves to play games just to fit in. Play games you like and dont give a shit about others opinions.
But dont be fucking delusional if a game is Factually bad, and if you play a mobile game you deserve to be lynched

Because they're 2D pixel sprites, or..?
That's… kind of true of every game isn't it?
Become proficient.

Start making comfy houses. Maybe join Holla Forums on a build server next time one goes up.

Not just late game. A basic hook and climbing claws make moving so much more enjoyable. So does any of the boot accessories. And if you luck out and get a flying carpet, well you're set.

The sprites aren't very good, for 2d, regardless.

REEEEEEEEEEEE

Yeah they could be better. At least they've been slowly updating them over the past several updates. I think the original spriter was tiyuri.

pretty shit house tbh

seeing how this thread is retards thinking the dude is shilling and shitting on the game with a sage I reckon we're starting to reach a critical mass of cancer.

Where the fuck do I talk about videogames now?

you don't talk about video games user, you play them.

...

Oh boy

...

SNOW FOR THE SNOW FAIRY!

GFW was truly the best

Terraria randomly gives you cool shit while you're playing instead of allowing you to steadily save up space shekels and buy one of a limited amount of upgrades (which are all visible on a single screen, eliminating any mystery or "what if")

Open chest -> find cloud in a bottle

Fucking fantastic experience in my first few hours of play, especially because I was getting frustrated at how immobile and crippled I felt.

Well, I would normally expect a player to do some simple things.
Killing a slime and collecting gel, collecting wood from the trees on the surface.
Also, a new player would get the ominous warnings from the NPCs about the Eye of Cthulhu.
Gearing up is only natural and that boss is not that difficult, albeit a nice challenge for new players.
It is way worse if a mechanical boss spawns on your first night in hardmode.
All things you need to create an arena are given to you by the crafting menu.
You get defeated by the boss. What did you loose from that one? Half your money, but money is not a big deal in this game.
The usual thought process would be to improve upon that fight. What went wrong. A new player might have A) low mobility, B) low armor, C) no potions, D) no arena.
If you have 200 HP it's usually enough to just take potions and dodge a bit while shooting the eye with some arrows.
You find potions in cehsts and pots. So that is not that much of a big deal. You should find some iron skin, and swiftness potions before getting the hearts.

Also Terraria has always been a game of patience. Grinding is a huge part of it, so you could take that as a casual filter. They won't enjoy the later parts of the game, so why is it bad to show that early on?

I would wish that it is more obvious for new players to get a grappling hook. Although that should pop up if you have enough gems.

It does tell you when it's corrupted.

...

I think the huge variety in the items you can find is a large part of what makes exploring in Terraria so satisfying.

You may find a completely new type of item with a new type of mechanic basically anywhere, and some places like the dungeon will throw a bunch of them at you at once. Or then you find some new crafting material and it can make several new weapons/accessories/furniture/etc.

OK, I wasn't sure about that one.

Although I do have a weird feeling that sometimes it gives you the generic message for that too, if it's only near but not in corruption, or something like that. I could be wrong, but that's the annoying thing, you just don't get enough feedback to be totally sure what the problem is sometimes.

...

Worthless shit.

You can actually build a valid house in evil biomes provided that none of the inner surface of your home is made of corrupt materials. But it's only valid as a player house.

like sex

Feels good to not be a retard

Does anyone have the hardmode ser/v/er? I want to play it with my fello anons.

If is right, then we can all play the update together tomorrow. I'm sure someone will host a server for that.

It just updated for me, just verify your files or some shit.

1.3.3 is here!

So it is anyone want to host?

I find literally the entire aesthetic of the game to be disgusting. The HUD has that childish "pop up book" look to the graphics like Yoshi's Island, except without any charm to it. The colors are all bright and oversaturated with those silly bold outlines. The way the characters swing the tools and weapons in a goddamn arc irritates me at a level approaching autism. The music just makes me want to stab pencils into my ears.

The gameplay seems good, but I can't get over the aesthetic making me feel like I'm playing a game for toddlers. I wish someone could just take the entire visual and audio of Starbound and paste it over the gameplay of Terraria. The "feel" of Starbound and that epic, epic music was pretty much the only things that game got right, but it was enough to make me really enjoy it for many hours. I tried playing Terraria for five minutes and had to quit. It's just too fucking ugly by comparison; I couldn't take it.

Post patchnotes link ya sad coont

FOR THOSE WITHOUT A COPY PLEASE CHECK >>>/fs/ WITHIN THE NEXT 20 MINUTES or LESS

forums.terraria.org/index.php?threads/pc-1-3-3-changelog.48916/

Ok thank you

I assume none of this takes in an existing world.
I have to make a new one?

Or will it be those enemies & sandstorms appear- but no special loot you'd have gotten in specially generated undergrounds like whatever is new in Pyramids?

You are like that webm Dark Souls guy

Anyone experiencing framedrops when the sandstorm hits?
The rest of the game runs fine at 60 fps, but the desert really fucks me up.
I'm trying all graphical settings and nothing changed so far, but I haven't tweaked everything yet.

It's always sad when a game seems like it might be fun but you just can't enjoy it because of aesthetic reasons.
You could try these texture mods:
Enhanced version of the textures of Terraria 1.3.0.8

>>>/fs/8916

I will never understand you faggots who are allergic to pixels.

Those HD textures just make it look to soft. I hate it so much. If you dont like this type of graphic then what are you doing playing video games.

Honestly I don't get it either but that's what the mod is called.

You did see I was replying to someone, right? I like the original graphics just fine.

Thanks for trying, but this is just like looking at a pile of shit, except taking my glasses off first.

I have no problem with pixel-art in general. Get off your fucking high-horse.

I was just voicing my opinion, you dont have to take it personally.

Why don't move stars goyim?

Well, the game is very light hearted. Not even Hell feels threatening. The only time I felt the game got serious is when the Cthulhu shit started going on. It's really a shame you can't stand how it looks, maybe you're autistic.

Holla Forums ain't what it used to be.

...

I get wanting to improve Terraria's visuals, but as far as I know, no matter what you do, the base resolution for everything is just too low. No matter what you do to character sprites, there's just not enough pixels to work with to make something that actually looks better. Sure, there's plenty of pixels in the space they effectively take up on-screen, but it's just scaled-up from the tiny actual size.

But if there was a way to make the sprites higher resolution, (but not any bigger on-screen, just not with scaled-up giant "pixels,") that'd be great.

This game is pixel donkey shit. Fuck off neo Holla Forums.

The guide literally let's you put items into a box when you talk to him to figure out combinations. Don't know what a soul of might does? It probably makes a new weapon, asshole, talk to the guide.

Beyond that, the only arena you really need is plantera and maybe clearing debris and terrain for the wall of flesh. Most other bosses can be dealt with items, potions and preparation

...

...

Didn't you play with LEGOs as a kid, user?

...

Old games like that are different, their pixels were all one actual screen pixel, which is totally fine. They were using all the resolution the screens they were played on could put out. That 16-ish pixel Link sprite took up 16 actual pixels, he couldn't have more detail without taking up more screen space.

Terraria is one of those many modern "pixel" games where where the so-called pixels are composed of 2x2 or 3x3 real pixels, and that's a different story. The sprites aren't using close to the actual detail that could be fit in that screen space, not to mention that the classic pixel look kinda falls apart in various ways when it's not crisp, authentic pixels. For example, look really closely and Terraria sprites aren't scaled up perfectly, some "pixels" have an aliasing effect between them, making it all both really pixely and blurry, not a good combination. I don't care that the games isn't realistic, in fact, I PREFER stylized and cartoony. But it could still be colorful and stylized with higher resolution sprites, the only difference would be that things would look even better.

The only person I know who plays this game is weebshits and a dude who is now a tranny. Fuck off.

What makes you think we care about your shitty friends, user?

Well, I knew a tranny that played Deus Ex.
Does my anecdotal evidence mean Deus Ex is a game for trannies? No?
Then neither does yours.

transhumans aka augmented

...

git gooder friends

I haven't played terraria since before they added directional spear attacks. Is it worth retrying?

Did you like it?

The answer is mutual.

Eh, it was okay, but I knew they half assed it

also chucklefuck fucked everything up community wise

That's Starbound, not Terraria.

Well it has changed a fuckton, so I'd say it's worth another try.

OH, so what the hell is there to even do in terraria? I got burnt out by the time I had to grind for tier 3 or 4 shit, the bosses were uninspired, how is it different now? I guess the changelog would be big

How autistic are you?

That's still starbound

Terrarria sucks shit tho, please fucking stop.

Jesus, that must have been like five years ago.
The game completely changed since then.

Assuming you're legit not talking about Starbound, the changelog would consists of a fuckton of new everything, but the gameplay is more or less the same. Get to next tier so you can kill the next boss and/or conquer the next area and/or transform your map.

The NPCs and items give various hints. I do not mean just the Guide. Also, what happened to secrets, discovering things, and sharing with friends in games? It's not like you need to do Fishron or anything. The wiki is for if you want to get everything perfect. It's not required of you.

What the fuck is up with all this Hatred for Terraria?
I don't think I've ever this many people on Holla Forums shit on it since 2011 or 2012 when it was still early in development.

pic related ITT

Who gives a shit?

Also shit is on the wiki because people find it in the game, apparently somehow. So what even is this burden of knowledge nonsense?

...

SO I AM DOWNLOADING THIS GIMME GUIDE FROM START TO END HOW TO FUCKING BEAT THIS SHIT ASS GAME.

Apparently experimentation and dying are things that shouldnt be in games anymore

Because if you make a miss click you can send an entire stack of stars to oblivion.

PUNCH EVERYTHING

also talk to the guide
also give him items that say "material" in them

It's not really hate man.
We've had daily Terraria threads for at least the previous 2 months and they were mostly devoid of shitposting.

New patch is out, and suddendly you get Starbound ruses, Terraria shitposting, and generic buzzword complaints.

It's just the usual batiposters having fun. Bite some of that bait too and have fun with them, or just ignore it, it's not that hard.

Because Terraria has the most solid structure of all of those games. First of all , it has a really strong sense of progression, something really welcome in any RPG. as long as you advance you get new NPC's unlock new enemies, new bosses, in the way you craft shit and such like in other games. But this game has a goal. Wich is beating the wall of flesh. But once you do it. You get into hard mode. And the whole world gets a big update with new enemies and an end-game. It's not just a sandbox, it's a proper game that happens to have randomly generated terrain. It has all the elements that make a proper game A goal (wich is mainly beating all the boses) Differents way to play it (magic, bombs, melee, bows, spikes, caltrops). If it wasn't because the music isn't really great , the sounds are boring and the graphics are kinda ugly (wich means the game fails in the presentation department) i'd say this is a perfect crafting game thanks to the gameplay and progression sense.

get out cia

I played the game without checking anything and managed to do fine until hardmode. The Guide was enough for everything, and I was pretty maxed out on pre-hardmode items and stats before going hardmode.

Just then I started checking some things on a wiki, but I was still mostly just playing and enjoying the game and trying stuff my own way anyway. Trial and error are fun when they get you somewhere.

It seems you're the type of person who thinks he's owed an in-game fault/fail-proof system. As if you're not meant to ever die, risk yourself or discover game's mechanisms randomly (like the possible surprise first Eye of Cthulhu encounter you mentioned, which was how I dealt with him the first time actually - though I was lucky enough to have farmed a full ancient shadow armor set since I noticed Eater of Souls dropped these item sets not so rarely during blood moons, which I noticed by myself without any need of checking it up online).

Terraria isn't even that punitive since you have the option of symbolic death penalties if you will, and as others have said, no NPCs perma-die, nor are you really tied to any world, and using more than 1 world isn't a hassle in any way (unless you autistically think every world must be as properly explored and adapted to your needs like your first/home base world, which is not just autistic, but idiotic).

...

My first night was shit how do i speed up game until morning?

Find/make a bed and sleep in it. gotta do it in a house like structure (basic block with back and torches should be fine).

Burrow underground enough until you get cave enemies spawning instead of aboveground ones, then just mine till morning

Bed doesn't advance time in Terraria.

Oh. It's been too long. Guess I got it mixed up with another crafting and mining game.

Maybe I ought to have used an old character to find a decent map and maybe skip the bronze tools stage.

Is anyone going to host the server? Its not like it takes a long time to update it.

-dont even bother making shortswords
-avoid expert mode until you're familiar enough with the game and actually want to get the hardmode 1% drop chance items
-hardmode and expert mode are different things, the former is mid/late game progress and the latter is a literal hard mode that comes with its benefits
-do the angler quests whenever you can (he joins your "town" after you wake him up near the ocean)
-make a wooden bow and some arrows if you want to make the night more bearable
-look up how to build houses for your NPCs, you might want to get your (((greatest ally))) as fast as possible
-fishing can get you lots of useful things, from ores that did not spawned in your world to accessories

you cant, your only choices to kill time are fishing while getting your ass rammed by eyes and zombies or mine ores underground

didn't school start already?

...

What did it do right? Nothing.

How fucking long does it take to get a sandstorm. damn

...

Updated.

Reported

It's called exploring.
You explore your options, explore the place, explore the maps.
Sure, a map might get fucked up but your character remains, grab your stuff and hop somewhere else, your progress is not completely loss and even then it's easy to regain it.

Now the guide even tells you what you can craft with the things you have and what is the object you need to craft things onto.
Not only that, the item itself tells you if it can be used to craft shit.

The only Burden of knowledge is maybe for some obscure or min-maxing bullshit, like when trying to make the ankh or the Spectre boots, otherwise you don't really need any of that shit to enjoy the game in full.

Nah, you can easily find that out from the Guide too.

Enemy AI is still ass, though. No pathfinding whatsoever, the mobs always ram straight into the player while ignoring the environment.

Yeah but you don't know where the item drop.
Like without a wiki or someone telling you a doubt you would find out how to make an ankh or where to find the Spectre Items too.
Though now that I think about it the items needed for the ankh drop from the mobs that cause the status effects (Hornets drop Bezoar, Skeletons that cause bleeding the plaster and so on) so maybe you could actually find out a way to make ankh without external knowledge.

Do you guys got the download link to the 1.3.3 version?

It's decent enough. Enemies are dumb but they make up for it with numbers, ranged attacks, speed, other abilities or just insane damage.

By being what Minecraft wanted to be, and lots of goodwill via free updates

and then there's the cellphone, which has three items obtained by doing a gorillion angler quests even on expert mode
The angler deserves its own voodoo doll and gore sprites

FYI when a sandstorm started for me it was overcast. I'm curious if Sandstorms are actually random or like a Blizzard they are tied to certain weather conditions.

...

Also if you are more 30 units or more higher than the sand the sandstorm stops.

Is this b8?
1. Game gives you a biome creating gun. You're in no way doomed.
2. Good mechanic. Speeds up new players into fighting a boss if they can't figure out how
to get him to appear. You will as well only die once and he will leave.
3. You don't need arenas but it helps. Even a child will realize you can make your own arenas in the same way you realize you could use a fucking home.
4.Nothing word specific from one to another is so important that you can't beat the game without it. Nothing wrong with making a second world anyways.
6.Go mine more you colossal retard. Also TALK TO THE GUIDE

Good observation
huh
Either way Expert should be the standard.

Keep adding more darksydephil.

I wish there ws a hammer mode for the Drill Containment Unit.

Stop! You're fucking retarded and here is why:

Anything new you discover and are unsure about? Take it to the fucking guide and he'll tell you what the fuck you can do with it

I don't use git gud, so you should just stop being bad at video games in general

Okay so reading the patch notes

That's it?

Thank god they updated it though

That is why they added Pocket Mirror to protect against Stoned. It has always been that Stoned disables item effects.

According the the thread on their forum, as long as your world was made in 1.3 or newer (and thus has the underground desert) you'll be able to access everything in this update.

I played it twice and only lasted 15 minutes. Didn't nail shit.

Now suck my penis.

Its okay to have shit taste user, not everyone hast he same standards.

I have 3 Lamia Masks, 2 Lamia, wraps, and 0 Lamia Tails. damn rng.

Did I miss anything special? I already defeated the Moonlord and crafted everything there was to craft with his materials

Not really, just that they are putting more into Terraria 2 and that this game is still going to be updated regardless.

I want to fuck that necro armor

I've this game but never had for reasons and so the years passed.

I've decided to get my ass on it at least considering a new update is fresh.

Any protips before I fall in Holla Forums? What should I know? What to do and what to not?

The thing about Terraria is that it's wonderful the first time through, but feels like a slog on re-plays.

...

...

The one of the Dryad is nice but Hallow's Eve is the prettiest painting in the entire game.

I think that's fair enough. The game never looked very good, and it started with literally ripped sprites from Dragon Quest.

Eh, some things are a lot better when you know how to do them, but things like getting the top tier items are agonising, yes.

Final Fantasy.

Can Square sue them for this?

Play softcore, almost everyone does. Mediumcore sounds like a good compromise but it's not very fun in practice. I would not recommend expert mode for a new player either, though some people apparently do it.

Once you start, first priorities are to make a wooden sword (the starting short sword is really, really bad) and to make a little shack to protect yourself from zombies. Then focus on collecting materials and seeing what you can make.

The only two things stopping this game from perfecting whatever genre is Terraria.

From my experience that isn't much better than copper axe/pickaxe.

If you want beginner equipment with nearly 0 effort, find cactus in desert or boreal wood in snow biome or mahogany in jungle. All of those can make armor and sword that's better than normal wood, plus the latter two can make a decent bow too.

The original sprites were from Final Fantasy during the leaked pre alpha, I'm pretty sure that even the earliest official release had original sprites. fyi some of the NPCs use to be FF characters too.

You want the wooden sword simply because it's an arc attack. That's all. Boreal wood best aesthetic

Is there a modding tool or something out there so I can make an NPC? My goal in life is to set up a friendly snek NPC that can live with me in the comfy Mayor's House of my town.

Also if any of you people can sprite there's a dude trying to resize every sprite by 2 and shit, if you're willing to help with that. Better that than the shitty blur texture pack.

forums.terraria.org/index.php?threads/1-3-tmodloader-a-modding-api.23726/

Yes. Hasn't been updated for 1.3.3 yet though. Also it's a fan-made project, not like an official game editor or anything so it's not the easiest to get into. But Terraria has a reasonably lively modding scene.

So that whole server thing ain't happening I assume.

Pirate it. Play it. Realise it's shit. Remove it.

It's not good. It will NEVER be good and they shat on modders and made sure it would never EVER be close to being good. They fucked up so badly that they even removed content.

Building is the only thing that doesn't suck, and in fact it's comfy. Rest is terrible, even optimization is horrifyingly bad.

Sauce: I bought it.

I assume tConfig has been dead for ages

The hell?

Is there any way to quickly transfer items from my hotbar to the inventory, ala minecraft? dragging is getting tedious, I'm 8hrs in

ctrl+click?

Why would you need to transfer items from the hotbar so often that you need a quicker way?
Just fill your hotbar with useful items.
In any case, shift + click will transfer from your inventory to a container and vice versa.

How are you doing? You should have access to the dungeon by now. You might've even been to the underworld.

well actually, about half that was just when I ran to do some shit and left it running. I've not been hitting the objectives much, just focusing on making a comfy and dense house. I did find a chain knife, which I fucking love using, but I bet it'll be obsolete soon.

I have a lot of items and I'm just kind of dumping them into my chests because I know organizing them will be a pain in the dick. What's the best organization system?

Basically the mobile version with some performance issues as well as one or two PC-exclusive things like sorting stuff.

I was one of the 15 dollar backers

no it's not

Ain't nothing wrong with that. A man's home is his castle.
It should last you until you beat the boss of the evil area, at least. I once found a chain knife with the godly modifier and I used it all the way til the underworld.
I don't know about best, but personally I have designated chests near where I will use the stuff I put in them, e.g. I have 2 chests next to my anvil and furnace filled with ores, bars and any other stuff made for crafting weapons and armor. I also have a chest next to a workbench with a bottle on top of it that is filled with plants, seeds and alchemy ingredients so I have all my shit in one place when I want to make potions.
I put things I probably won't use but that I want to have available at all times (like potions, bombs, fishing rods and bait) in the piggy bank. Once I get the safe which is easier to use (don't need to put platforms unlike the piggy bank) I start using that instead and the piggy gets relegated to holding random loot.

You probably already noticed, but most of the time crafting chests is a waste of materials, you can just empty whatever chests you find and then take the chest itself with a pickaxe. You will find a lot of chests just by exploring the surface and also in the occasional underground cabin (good loot in those).
Have fun user.

It's not that hard. Each item needs to be placed in a chest once, then you can just run past your chests and spam this button and all your items will go to the right places.

You also need a whole bunch of chests for nonstackables like weapons and accessories.

They didn't like the sandbox freedum feeling so you now NEED to:

-Do the intro mission

-Always start on the same planet

-Mine 20 fragments from the core of the first planet

-kill the first boss and complete the first mission

Then space exploration "begins". But the ship needs fuel, I hope you like farming pixels :^)

It's literally the worst. They also made the dreadwing boss WORSE by making enemies damage sponges instead of smarter. It's just stupid at this point.

Be sure to fav items you don't want to be thrown out of your inventory. Very handy when going out and getting materials.

Terraria was good for about 3 hours.
At $5 it was a bit expensive for that.

If you like procedural platforming, get Spelunky HD, it's way better in every respect.

I can't tell when I should bomb and I keep dying to stupid shit. I just wanna see the endings and play extra bosses.

They are completely different games, I enjoy both.

Terraria has caves but this is not the CAVE thread user :^). It also has waifus and it's not the Touhou thread.

I haven't played mage in years and am now stuck at right after beating the golem. I kinda get my ass shafted in events and I really don't want to build an arena for all this shit.

make serber

If you're talking about pumpkin moon or christmas events, then you're just asking to get fugged.

If you're talking about rape pillars, then I hope you've stocked crateloads of lube for you ass because you can't build an arena for them.

Kill Fishron until you get the typhoon spell or whatever it's called. Also use the hoverboard, the horizontal movement ability is invaluable against bosses IMO.

I accidentally my quote

You mean the four pillars right before last boss?

You can make an arena, they spawn pretty much more or less on the same 4 spots.. except they change what pillar is on each spot

Well, time to camp the fucking shrooms then.

I tried to put campfires and stuff around, but the location shifts somewhat every time. You'd have to terraform half your map to get a reliable arena for all of them.

Build a mushroom platform to one end of the screen, and then do some fishing while you wait for the worms to spawn.

Whoops, wrong thread.

Just to check user, but are you putting your stone/dirt/bricks in the hotbar to lay them down?
If you wanna build shit faster:
Incidentaly, this realeases the slot that item occupied. I've made it out of the jungle holding a Nature's Gift like this. I'm a hoarder
You can left click on the world to place down that block. Or furniture. Or wall.

I mean, it's simple stuff, and maybe you've figured it out, but I guess it never hurts to remind people. Some lurkers might also need it.

Oh man, this game is bad news for obsessive autistic hoarders like me

I used to not be able to delete random dirt blocks even though you can get thousands of them in a minute by creating a new map and blasting it to hell with Rocket IVs. I've more or less learned to let go of garbage like that but I used to collect absolutely everything and fill my piggybank/safe every time I went out.

I collect at least 10 of each weapon/accessory/armor drop before I feel comfortable selling them, and I have chests with at least one of each item in the game excluding some of the new ones and banners. I also have 2-4 of each endgame accessory so I can put warding and shit on them in case I feel like switching setup.

I was going to build a massive base to store it all, but I lost interest in Terraria before I ever got to it.

Are you talking about the martians? The UFO is rough, but it's very cheesable, just stand under a roof so it can't hit you with the death ray and slowly whittle it down when ti flies to the side. I am not a fan of that boss, but you can deal with it.

Usually the first thing I do is place chests for Animal, Vegetable, Mineral and Equipment, then when one stats to get full I separate its contents into 2 or more chests by category. e.g. Mineral gets split into Plain / Valuables, and Valuables might eventually get split into Metal / Gems.

You can obviously make up your own categories, just as long as you have some kind of system so you know where things are.

I'm one of those obsessive types who doesn't likes throwing away anything, so at some point I'll probably add chests just for super common blocks like dirt or stone. But I draw then line at keeping more than one or two copies of non-stacking stuff.

I didn't feel like using a wiki so I was done with the game in an hour.
Then I lurked some turbo-guides, tried again for another hour…
I was uninstalling later.
Nope, not for me.

fucking liar even speedrunners haven't optimized the game to under 3 hours yet so I know your full of shit unless you haven't played after 1.2

I think he means HE was done not the game.
