kazil posted:Crawltipedes, the worm enemy during the solar part of the end of the world event, are the dumbest thing ever and I hope they get a balance pass. On the flip side, the Stardust Dragon Staff is amazingly overpowered and it can easily carry you through the late endgame once you craft it.

Jabarto posted:You don't need to line your trenches. As long as there are 4 empty tiles between the two sides nothing can spread across it. Thorns can grow from bare rock and spread corruption. Line your trenches. Also, my NPCs are making angry emoticons at me. What can I do to make them happy? Do they need better homes? Because I'm really early and can't make better homes yet.

Is there any way to tell where an NPC's home is anyway? The merchant moved in I think but it'd be nice to see if his home actually qualifies as a home or not since he got stuck on a block and is just rotating in place now. At least he's safe.

Akett posted:Has anyone figured out the strange plants stuff for the dye trader yet? Very late, but yes. Around your world some weird looking plants will spawn, so far I've found a wilted corruption looking plant that's like 2x3 sq, and when I handed it in I got some insane looking twilight dye. It looks like it's fisherquest, but with no time limit, location and the only reward is special as gently caress dyes.

So I haven't played this game since 1.1 and I've gotten bit by the bug again. I played for a couple hours today and I'm just overwhelmed by the amount of new content. i can't figure out what does how to make meaningful progression. There's probably not any kind of getting started guide and general "things you should know that aren't obvious" post about 1.3 yet but man I need one.

Gorgolflox posted:So I haven't played this game in a long time, probably close to a year and half. Was there a patch or update since 1.2 that deleted your worlds? All of mine are gone, my characters are still there though. I guess it doesn't really matter since I was going to start from scratch anyways but all of my cool castles are now gone. So all of my worlds are still in the Worlds folder but don't show up in game? Anyone have any experience with this issue? I've tried renaming the files and taking the .bak off and none of that seems to work.

The Mac client is supposed to come out soon actually. quote:We do want to give our Mac and Linux Terrarians a quick update as well. Based upon current status and planning, the plan is that Mac/Linux will launch shortly after 1.3 - aiming for a launch within the month of July. This is being done to ensure the most stable Mac/Linux builds possible so that everyone has the best experience that we can provide. At this point the mobile and console versions will probably take just as long to get the new update (if ever. The console version was made by another company, I think,) so you might as well wait.

Anyway, how do you get the first real tier of important picks? You need shadow scales to craft it but to fight the boss that drops those you need a pick that can break the stones you need the shadow scales for.

So expert mode plantera is kicking my rear end- I can get him down to 25%ish fine, but once he enters the second phase and starts growing mini-tentacles I die in seconds- do I need to just lead him to the surface and hover above his head?

Samopsa posted:Or you can use the purification powder sold by the druid to make turn the corrupted blocks into normal stone. This is the intended route. You're supposed to beat Eye of Cthulhu first so that the Dryad spawns, then buy the dust from her and use it to make your way through the Corruption/Crimson. Of course, if you have bombs and Corruption it's best to do Eater of Worlds since it's an easier boss that requires less setup to defeat.

That's one of the reasons I kind of prefer the Corruption, to be honest. The Crimson is really creepy and thematic and everything, but the Brain of Cthulhu is just a colossal pain in the rear end in a top hat whereas the Eater of Worlds is a really cool, climactic, challenging fight early on and an extremely easily-farmed money generator later. It's just a much better and more fun boss in every way. Also, the Corruption's music is 1000% better than the Crimson's Omi no Kami posted:So expert mode plantera is kicking my rear end- I can get him down to 25%ish fine, but once he enters the second phase and starts growing mini-tentacles I die in seconds- do I need to just lead him to the surface and hover above his head? Plantera freaks the gently caress out and becomes Super Dangerous if you lead it to the surface. It's better if you keep your jungle tunnels relatively tidy and prepare a large central arena underground - you can rush back there after awakening Plantera and have enough room to manoeuvre around it without getting immediately obliterated once it gets angry.

Yoyos are this update. Not sure how they're different than flails There's some accessories specific to yoyos, though, you can craft a string that extends its length for instance. I didn't like the sound of expert mode, and I hope that not too many of the new fun stuff's behind it. Normal Terraria combat is annoying enough since you are constantly swarmed with random enemies everywhere. I intend to just go through normal mode and maybe even get to the pumpkin/frost events using meetyourDemize's tips, then maybe go to expert mode with end game gear.

Man, my two friends and I are just getting completely curbstomped by expert mode Skeletron. I've got a 21 damage yoyo + countweight from the travelling merchant and am in full crimtane, while they are both in full bee gear with bee guns and bee pets from the bee scepter as well as demon scepter books. We pretty much just die before even getting a fourth of his health off or smashing any of his arms. He does so much damage, and no matter how fast you run or how much you jump you can't really reliably dodge him even with an arena that's a bunch of flat platforms to run on , and with the longer respawns on expert and the tendency for bosses to just leave if you die too much, you can't even cheese him with respawns any more. Is there something we should do first or is there some trick to him? Even if you can survive him for a little while he has /so much health/ and hurts so much on each hit, that I'm thinking we must be doing something very wrong here.

I started on normal mode so my son and I could play together but our starting position is sandwiched between underground desert (brutal) and underground arctic (slightly less brutal) with a granite biome spreading all the way under both of those (most brutal). I like the challenge but drat, the tombstones are starting to stack on each other. We did find two excellent minecart tracks running between the two, which was fun when we had to escape danger by riding them off into the unknown, holding torches so we could see where we would end up, which turned out to be a pool of lava. I wish I'd had a game like this with my dad when I was a kid, it's hilarious fun.

Wolpertinger posted:Man, my two friends and I are just getting completely curbstomped by expert mode Skeletron. My preferred tactic for skeletron and a lot of other bosses is so cheesy that it'd murder lactose intolerant players, but I stock up on gravitation and mana potions, and simply spend the entire fight holding left (until I hit the world's edge, then I switch to holding right) and toggling between apple falls up, apple falls down. A lot of bosses don't track vertical movement well, and it will usually keep skeletron far enough away to mitigate his attacks, while still keeping him close enough to hit. I used Flairon + Razorblade Typhoon (for healing with spectre armor), the former's homing bubbles mitigates the challenge of aiming while zigzagging through the sky, and the latter keeps you alive if he gets in a few hits while a potion is on cooldown.
