I was just thinking about a story I've had in my head for a while, and a part of it involves giant, inhabited trees. I was doing this as I was generating a new medium sized world, since I think Small sized worlds are just too small with all of the new biomes... Anyway, the first thing I see in this new world is a giant goddamn hollowed out tree. Below there's an entire goddamn dungeon. I don't know how common this is with 1.2, but I'm excited at the idea of having a literal tree-base.

The halloween stuff is neat, but does anybody have a good ichor farming strategy? Just getting the right mob to spawn in the wild is a loving feat in and of itself for me, and I want the Golden Shower without resorting to cheating.

Terraria is really served by playing friends, if you're going to kill/grind on the bosses. Building arenas take half as long, bosses die faster, etc.

Even with just one other person, running things out of hamachi and all that, it's a much better game this way.

I'd probably be angrier about the grind if I had to do it alone, but I don't. You shouldn't, either.

I see a lot of people gurgling about difficulty or hardmode bosses or whatever every day in this thread but Terraria is fantastic and it's developers are agile and make great stuff, if you want a legit bad game to complain about might I recommend the Starbound thread?

What's wrong with Starbound? I haven't played in a while but it was perfectly serviceable last time I played it. Terraria in space.

Well, using allowed in-game methods isn't the same as inventory editing on a fundamental level. I was pretty annoyed at some of the changes that followed 1.2. Nothing I didn't get over but valid in-game strategies that got removed arbitrarily is not the same as outright cheating. Some parts of this game aren't in a great spot mechanically. Like I said in my last post, multiplayer is really good in this game and makes it a lot better if you have a world you can share with one or two other people, and this is how I shrug and get over some of Redigit's stupid changes, as his anti-fun nerfs to things and bullet sponge enemies matter less when you have a crew to slaughter them with.

It's okay to disagree with redigit, and since there's no apparent rhyme or reason to it beyond him just not liking something, he's managed to piss off plenty of people with his weird little nerfs to player choice when it comes to dealing with his spongey bosses.

I'm still excited for 1.3 and this is a new conversation for me, just saying that he's done annoying things and comparing those nerfed things to inventory and memory editing is insane.
