Hello everyone!

I think we need a Terraria thread!

I have currently collected all the way to beetle armor and I have the Scythe, And paladin armor.

Anyone want to share their builds? (Also Luna update is coming!)

I saw this game being played for the first time over at my buddies house. It looks pretty neato. I might check it out next paycheck.

It's not bad for a 2D version of Minecraft with more RPG elements. I like the wave fights but you really need a team for that. Progression is rather simplistic but has at least a stopgap to the hard-mode stuff so at least there's varying difficulty.

The last thing they put out was the Fishing update so that kills time if want to kill it

And Duke Fishron. Don't forget him. He is quite a hard boss. And not a joke.

ITs quite an enjoyable game. Reminds me of old school RPGs. But it has far more content than Minecraft.

Its more fun and you can get through tiers of armor pretty quickly if you put your mind to it. It took me a few months to get hardmode because I really didn't want to rush. And then I got into hardmode and immediately died. Took me another few months to beat all the bosses up to plantera, and then the hunt for the greatest weapons began. (The Scourage, Vampire Knives, Frost hydra began)

That took me a few weeks to get the keys except for one, The scourage. It took me a day to get the scourage. (I was very lucky) It is probably the most OP Weapon I have ever used XD.

It's always a cute little 2 or 3 distraction for me and buddy whenever they update. The core premise and solid and it is quite charming in a way. Still It never quite comes off feeling like a complete experience. Like it's got a good volume of content it's just lacking a bit in the depth department. Feels a bit like a prototype for something greater in some ways.

I like it. But I still prefer minecraft. For Minecraft when you get bored there are a zillion mods to add and either play around with, or to play as it's own game. Mods like Pixelmon and Orespawn add in so much content, or just even change the entire game so much, that's it's generally impossible to get bored with.

Yeah I am the opposite I enjoy RPGS in general and think they are probably one of the best things about gaming.

I really enjoy Terraria, though I'm having a tough time "getting into it" again. Probably has something to do with wanting to terraform an entire world to be "perfect" and easy to move from biome to biome for fishing...

Eh, someday I'll probably do it.

I don't rush Terraria when I do play (I prefer building to the more "gamey" aspects) so it takes me a long time to actually get to the end-game stuff. I don't think I'm ready to go back to that yet. Maybe one day.

The end game stuff is actually quite cool. But currently hardmode is a joke. Its not really that hard if you rush to adamanatium or hallowed sets.

Alright so Terraria 1.3

HAS COME OUT!

How has everyone's journey been?

It's... interesting!

Some of the new items seem to drop way, way too often. Good for gold, not so good otherwise. Some of the new monsters are pretty nice looking, and I've noticed that vultures and jellyfish have new sounds, which I like.

Are we avoiding spoilers in this thread, or no?

just put it into a spoiler

Ah, yes. The sensible and obvious thing to do. No wonder I forgot it.

In that case

I always start over for every major release, so I'll be catching up for a bit. Really excited though

Do we have a steam group for dakka dakka?

Gone through the game, got up to platinum tier... whoo, boy, was the king slime hard to kill . Much better than he used to be in terms of ability to counter strategies.

Rain of slimes is fun!

I love the martian madness event. Drops the best wings in the game

I still have just lead tier in my new game. I am a slow gamer.

I have, however, tried out bouncy dynamite. It, uh... bounced.

It killed you didn't it?

I got killed while hunting down some platinum ore. I've been playing for a long time, but yeah getting killed by the new mobs was kind of bs.

Honestly, I would have been disappointed if it didn't kill me.

I notice they've got more in the Crimson now! Crimson goldfish, for one, just like corrupt goldfish. And a version of the spiky vine things. The Crimson's still easier to breeze through in the early game when compared to the Corruption, though.

They really made it more fun to play thats for sure. I have been building underground now, because it ensures that my damn npcs don't die every damn night.

Just made it to hard mode after dying to the wall of flesh countless times and expanding the bridge everywhere on an expert world. Pretty happy, because the world has titanium

Trying to find the damn shadowkey... this dungeon is bizarre in its layout, even for a dungeon.

Yeah the dungeon is a pain in the arse.

I wish that it felt more like a dungeon...

Found a new npc!

Found them as well, I think.

Oh man, the marble layer enemies. I wasn't even sure where I was when I first got to one of those areas. So I was just walking along, checking out the sights, and then bam! Instant death. (Due to falling, mainly, but also the enemy).

Marble looks real nice as a building material, though.

Yeah, the marble area is glorious.

The summoner is the hardest class to play as. As I have discovered recently. You have to get a ton of defense and regeneration for health or else you are going to melt pretty quickly.
