Did I misread all the signs?
With the (re)launch of the new Terraria official forums, there have and will be some 1.3 spoilers posted this weekend.

It is kind of interesting to me that as much time/money has been spent on redoing the website and forums for a game that, respectfully, seems sort of past its prime. Hopefully it's just laying the groundwork for Terraria 2 content. I really like the new website design, and would love to see a more hand-painted art style for T2.

I actually really like that NPCs can interact with furniture now. It seems like a small change but it goes a long way. Hopefully we'll be able to sit in chairs too. Also would be nice to see them use beds and the like.

Super Space Jam's server has been reborn!

http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3669550

I didn't make any big changes yet. Just refilled some chests, and placed some more heart crystals. I'm using the History plugin to track griefers. Any other suggestions are more than welcome. Also if rare items/ores are lacking.

Let me know what the lag is like.

I've enabled a TShock feature called Server Side Characters. This pretty much does what it says on the box--when you join the server, you'll be frozen until you /register a new account and then /login to it, at which point your gear will be replaced with that of a fresh character. From that point on all changes to your character are saved serverside. Note that this will not modify the actual file on your own disk, so if you register an account that has stuff acquired outside the server, your gear will be returned to you when you play in single player or on any other server.

I used to help run a server doing something similar. Tshock can be a little fiddly but it's just making up for Terraria's godawful multiplayer support. Good luck with the server!

I did change your superadmin status to default. Could that be blocking your character?

I don't think so, sadly. The language they used seemed to suggest they would. The only little things that came out were that they were working on PC achievements and some mention of new starter cloths from the last screenshot of a guy in a trench coat.

Jesus christ man. I just started up a new game last week since I haven't played any of the post-1.0 content but sometimes it feels like "eh, maybe I'll play another game, I've seen everything I care about".

Seeing that... I think I'll stick with it.

I'm sure it's only going to require an item that drops off of the Halloween event 1% of the time or something.

That said, I want it. I want it bad. And I will fire up a new game and start playing to get it.

When is this due out?

I noticed that slopes are forming when terrain is dug out. That's new, isn't it? Normally slopes are manual or at worldgen, mining only causes right angles.

I really, really wish Terraria were as moddable as Minecraft/Starbound. They mentioned a modding API about a year back but at this point it's pretty clearly never gonna happen.

yeah, i'm not really sure why starbound necessarily 'needs' to add it because something like that seems trivial for any modder to add if they want at some point. meanwhile it's gonna be some mmo drop rate poo poo in terraria and will only exist to make something tedious less tedious. hooray.

Yeah while the mining machine is cool it's definitely going to be a super rare drop from the later stages of the alien invasion/moon boss (I'm assuming those two are going to be the same thing a la the pumpkin/frost moon) which means I'm never going to get it because I am just too scrub. :negative:

Eh, I really hope they stop going in the crazy rear end moon events direction. Those are dumb as hell. I'd rather have more real progression and biomes and bosses outside these moon events.

What?? Darn.
I've been digging out terrain to get that square shape so that I can run up hills smoothly, as a smooth slope leading up to a square block makes you stop for a second when running and lose momentum. If they all go to slopes it will be OK, on reflection. All slopes or all square edges are both OK.

Nonetheless, most of the changes in 1.3 seem pretty awesome. Not terribly looking forward to another big boss event. I never bothered with Frost Moon, and could only get to solo killing about 2 pumpkings each pumpkin moon event. Though if I'm going to need better gear, maybe I ought to go do the frost moon.

Yeah, the combat's not bad or anything, but just standing in one place killing endless hordes of enemies that just sort of march at you really isn't exactly compelling gameplay.

Especially not for the 8th or whatever version of it, it was a neat idea the first time or two.

You can try to kill the Fishron it drops great loot and it is a single boss or with help of some friends.

I've been playing since the humble bundle and I have reached the point where I can beat Duke Fishron consistently. I guess all that's left to do besides build cool looking stuff is make an abattoir for the moon events. Looking forward to the new version.

Yeah, I may have to go for that. I've thus far largely avoided fishing after trying it a couple of times and being underwhelmed, but fishron does drop some cool stuff. Especially since my attempts at Frost Moon have thus far yielded seeing the Ice Queen exactly once, and having her fly away as night ended. Might have to use spiky ball traps to cull the earlier waves faster, since the super darts and flame traps aren't quite cutting it.

Silus, you could also set a server for you, and set the time to be night. You now have all the time you need with the Frost Moon/Pumpkin.

THAT had not occurred to me, but I like it! Definitely something to consider, as I was never in danger of dying but simply wasn't killing enemies fast enough. I also don't consider it any cheesier than throwing down 400 spiky ball traps and letting them do most of the work.


E: Tried it out this morning; worked like a charm! Went through wave 17 before letting day break. One odd thing is that it seemed like the Ice Queens weren't dropping anything but silver and hearts. I did get two each of elf melters, chain guns and razorpines from other mobs though.
