She probably IS a reference to Pinkie Pie. I'd give it about a 95% chance, she's got some serious similarities going. Everything else though? That's just people making poo poo up.

Lt. Dans Legs posted:Apparently those have been removed, only to be replaced by more brony poo poo. The first one is fine because she pretty objectively IS based on the character. Just the way people have been saying it ranges from inane to absolutely hilarious. The second is both stupid and outright makes up a false number for the sake of forcing a reference, which is where we get into the "absolutely hilarious" territory. I just tried to solo the twins to make a bit of extra cash. Killed Retinazer, then Spazmatism killed me with 27 health left. 27. I don't think there's anything I could have used on him in my entire inventory that would have done less than 27 damage in one hit. This game is stupid.

Angry Diplomat posted:This is incorrect. My tinkerer lives in a hivehaus with hive blocks and hive walls and a honey fountain on the roof. I think the problem there might've been differentiating naturally-generated hive walls vs. player-placed hive walls. It's the same issue with Dungeon walls and dirt walls: If they were placed there on world-gen, then they aren't suitable for NPC inhabitance. The only naturally-generated walls that allow housing are the disc walls in floating island buildings and maybe the planked walls in abandoned underground houses. Also, I see that they nerfed the Spectre armor to assumedly half-effectiveness - let's see if that's enough to render the set utterly useless! I don't expect to facetank bosses with it, but I'd still like to do better than an Excalibur in piecemeal armor. KataraniSword fucked around with this message at 10:53 on Oct 9, 2013 |

All I needed for the twins was a megashark, gravity potions, and at least 2000 crystal bullets for each. Regardless, it's a bit unnecessary in my opinion.

So, the entrance to the Crimson was below sea level in my solo world. Key word is "was". I'd always thought the oceans were connected to an infinite off-world source of water, but apparently not.

Is anyone else having problems connecting to MP games since the last mini-update? Was working just fine for me and my girlfriend, now it hangs on "connecting to..." forever. Quite a few people on the Terraria forums seem to be having the same issue.

KataraniSword posted:The same way anyone soloed hardmode bosses before 1.2? Oh, wait, typically they didn't and it required bullshit levels of arena-building and preparation, especially for the Twins. For the twins I would pretty much run laps around my house, going through it one way and then over the top the other. Probably the best thing you can do to prepare for a bossfight is to make a few potions, throw on an Ironskin, a regen potion, and one for whichever type of damage you're dealing and you should be good to go. The most effective equipment setup you can go for seems to be just making sure you have some mobility options like a grappling hook, a cloud in a balloon, and any derivative of the hermes boots and just try not to get hit. Hell for Plantera I pretty much just kited it along the surface until I got to my house. Keiya posted:So, the entrance to the Crimson was below sea level in my solo world. Key word is "was".

I think it used to be the case that the water at the edges of the map was infinite but then it was changed to not be.

lohli posted:Not sure if this is serious but you can pretty much solo everything without it. Amusingly all this will make me do is move down to hell to fight everything along the ash bridge I made for the wall of flesh. Because yeah all you have to do to not die on the bosses is really just keep moving, and a straight bridge is fine since they will keep up with you and a lot of their ranged shots will also still miss you.

lohli posted:Not sure if this is serious but you can pretty much solo everything without it. Yeah, I did most everything with ranged (except Destroyer, he got the mushroom spear) so I can't say for certain how you mages might adapt if you want to stay mages, but it's certainly possible to solo everything. Difficult, but possible. I'd imagine for some fights you're just gonna have to do what I did and switch builds to fit the situation.

Soloing bosses as a mage for me usually means wearing melee armor just for the defense, and using magic power potions and the crystal ball to make up the difference in damage output. Regen/ironskin/soup potions also of course.

I'd think reforging all your accessories to have +3-5 defense on them would give you better results as a mage since you'd still have your set bonus. e: Also: Find heart statues and wire them up to timers around where you're planning to fight bosses! Those free hearts add up. President Ark fucked around with this message at 15:57 on Oct 9, 2013 |

I don't understand why he nerfed the end game equipment. Just leave it alone, it was fine. It is not bad design that end-game equipment allows characters to defeat end-game bosses.

Eh, I kinda disagree. I killed all the hardmode bosses with a Paladin Hammer melee character and a Specter Armor mage character and it's completely different styles. Melee was drink some buff potions and use mobility and the crafted arena to DPS the boss more than he's taking your life off. There were plenty of close fights and lots of emergency potions. Mage was literally stand still and shoot spells at boss.

I can sort of see why the spectre armour needed nerfing because of how broken it was in relation to the ease with which you can get it, but I feel like the vampire knives are such bullshit grindy endgame stuff that if you've got them there's no real reason not to be able to just do whatever. Chances are, you've pretty much got past all the progression at that point. Bar the spectre armour, getting to a deep chest in the hard mode dungeon is pretty difficult with the number of powerful enemies and difficulty in dodging in the corridors. The knives didn't need nerfing at all, and while the spectre armour itself was a decent candidate for a nerf, I'd much rather see him change the functionality of the ectoplasm armour and give the magic weirdos another harder to get set of armour to do the same thing. And give the ranged guys bullshit insane lifesteal too. When I put another million slush into the extractinator and still don't get my dinosaur, I'd love to at least find a life stealing dolphin cannon.

I still think the spectre gear is really strong. What should have happened to the set was not nerf what it does, but how to make it. Because Ectoplasm farming is relatively easy.

What would be the best hard mode boss to fight first, specifically as a magic character? At first I assumed the Twins, but now I've seen people saying that they have more trouble with that fight than the others. My best spell right now is still my diamond staff, which has become amazingly ineffective with the hard mode switch, and a Mythical Demon Scythe, but I have a feeling those probably won't cut it any more.

Demon Scythe should be enough to handle the Destroyer due to its penetration ability. You will want to put up an arena above ground, however.
