So let's say I wanted to be truly a douche, and rig some sort of system on the spawn that traps the player inside. How could you go about doing that? Some sort of dynamite rig, maybe actuated walls of a level higher than their pickaxe?

Don't judge me they deserve it.

You could also do a "hoik", like this:





The first pressure plate de-actuates the angled blocks. Getting stuck "inside" an angled block will magically shove the player to the side, which is why this works. The second pressure plate is just to actuate them again so it's ready for the next respawn.

The respawn point is right under that stone arrow, so a respawning player will fall into the pit and get shoved into my worthless dirt box. (You probably want to use something harder than dirt).

It has to be below the spawn, since anything that collides with the player when they respawn gets destroyed.

So if I were to fill that area with lava? I believe we have a winner.

It's fun if there's a linear progression. It's even more fun if you can break it half when you know where to go and what to do.

Kinda like Zelda or Metroid?

yeaaaah

hes probably trying to do what i did which is skip the annoying part of the game by getting spelunker potions first

Looking back, this would probably be my number 1 piece of advice. Farm the hell out of spleunker potions.

I'm playing with a friend of mine and I'm having terrible (what I assume are) latency issues. My game will lag out for up to and over 30 seconds and then catch up all at once. I'll break blocks but no items will drop until I "catch up" with my friend, who is hosting. Granted we're on opposite sides of the Atlantic but this is a bit beyond the pale. Is this a know issue with the game or do you think it's a problem with my connection?

I'm having the same problem with a friend who I normally have no difficulties with. Goons?

Any tips on the Frost Moon event? Even with endgame gear and all the buffs I'm having trouble reaching wave 15. I can max out the pumpkin moon easily, so I'm not sure where I'm going wrong.

Just don't worry about it. You'll get the clentaminator soon enough, and that can mass convert everything. I've taken a couple worlds into hardmode and never had any major problems.
