Game Over
Return of Mido

Anyone been experiencing crashes upon exiting a world and loading another? I left my server to go and grab something from another world and had the game crash on me, making me lose all the inventory progress I'd gotten since downloading the update. My friend had the same thing happen to him as we played too.

Biome spread continues to not be as much of an issue as people in this thread would have you believe. The hallow getting near your house isn't the end of the world and in fact has absolutely no functional effect on anything, while the corruption getting near your house is easily fixed by making sure it's hallowed first.

Do the hallow/corruption streaks always spawn left to right respectively or is it random?

Unless it's changed, it spawns in a V with the bottom wherever you murdered WoF.

Some stuff a bit different than reported earlier:

quote:

Balance Changes:

The defense of Spectre Armor has been slightly lowered
The defense of Turtle Armor has been lowered
The attack speed, damage, knockback, and life return of Vampire Knives has been lowered slightly
Dungeon Spirit spawn chance has been lowered
Increased the reach of Wrenches and Wire Cutters
Hardmode Crimson, Corruption, and Hallow spread is now slowed after killing Plantera instead of any Mechanical Boss
Slightly increased the chance for an eclipse to happen, but they will now only happen after killing a Mechanical Boss
Hardmode Dungeon Monsters will now only spawn after Plantera has been defeated
Coins will now auto stack when close to eachother
Shadowbeam Staff does less damage each time it hits something
Spectre Armor does less healing each time the same projectile deals damage
Piranha gun now does slightly more damage
Pyramids are slightly more common

If I read that right you have to kill Plantera before you can even get specter armor now. Also no eclipses before you beat a boss so no more getting the reaper weapon early, I guess. I don't know if the fart in a jar makes up for all the other changes but it's probably pretty funny on a multiplayer server.

Edit: now that I think about it you can farm for dungeon keys and get the items stupidly early since you don't have to deal with hardmode dungeon mobs until you kill plantera. Now instead of rushing specter you can just grind for a crimson key and get (admittedly nerfed) vampire knives as soon as hardmode starts.

Sure, but is hallow always the left side of the V and corruption the right?

Nothing better than swinging around a little girl like a flail.
No.

In my world my corruption is on the left while the hallow on the right.

Speaking of which, Hallowed Crimson. Had a crimson spot on my right and the hallowed stripe completely overwrote it.

Seems only the superblatant facetank setups were actually nerfed. Spectre armor + Spectre staff is still absurd; I'm still able to easily kill Plantera and Twins without moving horizontally, setting up an arena, using (nonmana) potions, or aiming.

Also I was concerned that the heat gun would be useless now that it uses mana, but at least with spectre armor, mana regenerates faster than you can fire, so it's still a decent flashlight.

So is there an easy way to find Plantera? I just took out Destroyer on one of my worlds to slow the spread down before the patch, and my jungle is right next to Crimson... which appears to be getting assimilated and I need to slow this down.

Uh, what? You're killing bosses to slow down the Crimson spread? Are you sure that's a thing? First I've heard of it.

But no, there's no easy way to find him or anything, you just gotta find the pod. It at least glows so it's not TOO hard to find.

If you want to be sure you don't lose the jungle to the Crimson, either dig a three-block-thick gap all the way down to separate them or grab the clentaminator and some blue solution and turn the edge of the Crimson into Hallow.

Wow I completely missed that. :downs:

I like that the Spectre armor has diminishing returns for one spell hitting something multiple times. That's probably a better solution than just outright cutting its healing in half.

I'm also baffled that he buffed the piranha gun, because in my experience despite it being largely worthless against bosses it could clear a room of mooks pretty much instantly, which is something really nice for a ranged build since they have finite ammo at all times.

Having the Hardmode Dungeon enemies be locked behind Plantera is interesting. Definitely sets a new 'chain' of things to do.

Do the rapid bolts Magnet Sphere casts count as "projectiles" for the diminishing returns on the Spectre healing?

Yeah, I just tested this myself so I could report in. I definitely feel squishier, but I was still able to facetank Plantera. Biggest difference was that in order to do so comfortably and stay topped off the entire time I had to use both magnet sphere and inferno fork. I can dig having the same results for a little more effort.

Welp! I killed the Wall by chucking a shitload of bees at it and laughing maniacally, broke some altars for ores, wandered into a Crimsony ice biome, killed two wolves , immediately got the Crimson Key, waltzed right into the dungeon and waltzed back out with the gloriously busted shitshow that is the Vampire Knives. Luck is on my side!

Because most of the people posting in this thread are well past the point where that armor is completely outclassed. That said the people who aren't DO talk about it.

It's alright, but even at the level when it's useful it's outclassed by Jester/Unholy arrows at mid-range. It was nice having something to use mana for, the early game is really bare for spells and poo poo.

How so? It does just as much damage, shoots faster, uses no mana and is more accurate since the shots travel really fast.

Used to, now you can craft the staves, it gives you magic weapons early in the game.

Okay, whoever recommended diving down my hellevators with a spelunker potion active for hardmode ores, you are a genius. Just did that in my pre-1.2 world (Which involved two lethal, one abortive and one panicked sprint across the Corruption), and came out with enough mythril for two full sets of armor and 36 bars of adamantite.

I sort of hope I get adamantite in the world I'm actually setting up for hardmode, so the stuff I just collected isn't "wasted."

Space gun hits 3 times, tied with unholy arrows. However its high projectile speed means it won't do that unless you're fighting eater or something similar.

The top staves hit 4 times, on top of having higher base damage to punch through defense and slower projectiles/more knockback to multihit individual enemies.
