I'm still doing good damage, the breaker sword I got is godly, too bad its so slow.

Even though it's a pre-hardmode weapon, the Night's Edge is still a very nice melee weapon in the early hardmode. I still used regularly it until I got to make Excalibur.

onyx blaster very much owns but this go around i ended up without any crimson desert so i had to artificially make one. which is pretty funny considering how much i’ve complained about the opposite before so well played i suppose

This was removed in Labor Of Love, as mentioned above. I remember it specifically because of seeing it in the patch notes and being genuinely surprised. I want to say they also removed any reason to smash more than three alters other than personal satisfaction, but I'd have to double check that one.

Ah gently caress, I missed that patch note in my latest playthrough and went through just smashing 3 altars. Whoops!

So much progress today. I've been using the captain America shield because I'm lazy, but I still need a heavy hitter for current bosses.

I thought I'd somehow lost my inventory accessories at one point when I respawned with just the hot bar. Upon returning to my death site (trapped chest with several boulders) it turned out I'd clicked on deposit all instead of loot all :negative:

I'm really enjoying this play through but my hand, wrist and forearm are killing me. And I'm usually the one telling people at the office about having your arms at 90 degrees and poo poo.

The game isn't perfect, yet. One thing they can fix is your pets/sheild/other accessories making it so you cant see blocks directly in front of you, really annoying when digging tunnels and such. Summons and armor should go partially transparent or something when covering up blocks. I know I cant be the only one who digs tunnels and gets stuck every 10 seconds because theres a brick blocking your way that you cant see because you're up against it.

Also, tell me I'm not missing some better method of using the extractinator than just holding the mouse button down? Really starts to get old when you've got a stack of 1300 silt

If I'm digging a tunnel, I use smart cursor, and it automatically hits out every block in front of me anyway. If I still had to use my mouse to precisely select every block in my way I would've stopped playing by now.

I started stashing all my fossils/silt/slush until I can mine the chlorophyte. Took in probably over 2500 last nights session alone. How does the chlorophyte one work? Just one click and done or is it just faster?

I don't really want any more content. This game on PC already has the most favourable content to cost ratio in the history of time. I would rather that they stop updating this and catch up the mobile versions, specifically Switch.

The Chlorophyte Extractinator is faster and it can drop hard mode ores. I think some of the drop percentages are tweaked for better cash return as well. It isn't single click fast but it is definitely quicker than the regular one.

yeah it’s not instant but it’s quite a bit faster. that said if you have enough that converting it all takes a significant amount of time you could probably just trash most of it. you’re not gonna get any super rare epic items out of it mostly just ore and money

Scarab Bombs are also good although I wish you could make a version with a shorter fuse and/or that you can fire in a straight trajectory out of some kind of gun.

Sub-chlorphyte ore, specifically. Tops out at Adamantium/Titanium.

Silt also has another use, making stucco, so you might wanna not extractinate that.

i don’t think anything has changed between 1.4.4.1 and 1.4.4.7 except for fairly minor fixes. you can’t really publish hotfix patches on console so i’m assuming they’re waiting for all the hotfixes to be done and compile that into a proper patch for the console versions

I feel the same but instead of updating other versions just start on Terraria 2.
The game is incredible but a lot of it is held back by its initial codebase. An entirely new game, with lessons learned from the first, could have all kinds of new systems and mechanics baked in from step 1. Many more possibilities.

hold the cursor closer to your character and on a block, or further away for glowsticks/flare gun

I understand; the creators see it is a labour of love, but I don't disagree with you. Again, no game ever has had as much content for so little money (at least the PC version; consoles take the piss a bit) and I think that it's time to move on to TS: Mine Harder. I think that this game offers far more than Minecraft, which I've never understand and whose creator is an utter piece of poo poo.

Andrew and his team... they've made tens of millions on the 10th or 11th best-selling game ever. They have the luxury of starting a brand new, risky project that might fail, but they'll never go hunry if it does. Artistically speaking, if they want to keep creating, and that would be nice, it's time to start a new project. Eleven years is a century in terms of gaming these days.

Or they could just keep working on Terraria forever. Whatever makes them happy, it just makes me happy that there is more Terraria.

You'd think any old cracker jack box would run this in 4K but nope, installed on my HTPC last night and it was at a dead crawl until I enabled frame skip. And even then I saw big drops when entering the desert for example.

I'm outfitted with titanium, still need to find & combine some accessories, and procure a better sword. Whats next before I take on the big 3?

I nearly beat skelprime on the first try, forced by a random spawn rather than intentional. Was doing great until I actually went inside the nurse's house kinda by accident after switching out the placement glove in favor of the warrior emblem and got stuck and got us both killed. Thought it was funny though as I got a lot further than with destroyer or twins, but OG skeletron gave me the most trouble pre-hardmode.

I cant believe the angler doesn't sell worms, or anything else. I only just bought a bug net now :negative:

The most virtuous child in the entire world.
Did they ever fix the grass boots exploit? I forget exactly how to trigger it, but wearing the boots that grow grass when you walk, there used to be a way to create and instantly destroy the grass, so you would spawn hundreds of pieces of bait in no time at all.

They did back in 1.4, according to the wiki. It still technically works, but the chance of spawning anything from grass or flowers is reduced to 0.0001% of the base chance if you're wearing the boots.
