yeah the best way to make a sequel to terraria would imo be to do it in the binding of isaac way and just remake the game with a better engine. but also at the same time at this point i wouldn’t be surprised if the engine doesn’t share a single line of code with 1.0

don’t know if something’s been changed or if i’m just a lot better since i last played but i beat master mode skeletron on my first try with no real sweat. also i know it’s been buffed* but i originally wrote off the quad barreled shotgun as a meme weapon but it’s actually pretty bonkers when paired with meteor shot, it’s basically a flak cannon

even if you cram all the NPCs in a single cell block the happiness penalty for doing so has been blunted to the point where it basically doesn’t matter. the only thing that truly matters is maxing out the goblin tinkerer’s happiness which is trivial if you just build him a house in the underground with one for the mechanic right next to his. do this and you’ll get the minimum price for reforges.

Zereth posted:See this is why I want a Terraria 2, there's some really weird/awful stuff under the hood that it'd take "basically just making an entirely new game" to fix. i mean the engine is a ship of theseus now tho, to be fair. it’s not the case that they’ve just kept stapling more and more stuff onto the same old code, the game is fundamentally a different game than the one that was released. i’m not saying i wouldn’t want to see a terraria 2 with a brand spanking new engine and some more cohesive visuals, but it’s not a case like payday 2 where the biggest needed changes require a total redo

the one big thing that needs improving in the game is the sound that the rocket launcher makes, especially compared to the extremely cool and chunky sound the grenade launcher makes.

i’m not at all surprised by the fact that the best selling version of one of the most popular games is the one that’s for a device most people carry around every day instead of a specialized device made specifically for playing games. my mom loves tetris but hasn’t touched a game console since the NES.

i mean you don’t need to keep your pickaxe or axe or torches on the hotbar. just hold shift while mousing over the appropriate thing you wanna mine and it will pick the right tool, hold it a bit further away from your character and it will pick a torch, and hold it even further and it will pick glowsticks or a flare gun.

for more general advice, build an arena with at least two levels of platforms spaced apart as far as you can effortlessly reach. specter boots plus cloud in balloon should give you enough height to clear over skeletron and the dash from shield of cthulhu should give you enough horizontal speed to get over or under him without getting hit. once you’ve killed the hands you want to circle around him constantly. the skulls he shoot out will home but it’s weak homing and as long as you’re constantly moving away from him in both axis’s you should easily avoid them. there’s a certain amount of finesse to it that is hard to convey through text but it’s mostly the same principle as circle strafing. i assume you’re buffing up but make sure you’re not forgetting well fed or plenty satisfied. also campfires and heart lanterns are pretty painless to get but help a ton to mitigate chip damage. beast statues are a bit more annoying to get but if you’re really struggling it’s worth taking a trip through the desert or try fishing in an oasis for a while to get one. 5 free defense can really make a difference especially in pre-hardmode. if you’re as prepared as you can be it’s unfortunately just about learning how to dodge the attacks which is frustrating because of how long you have to wait in between attempts but as daunting as it may seem it’s a surmountable challenge. and if all else fails, bees

Moreau posted:I also recommend taking the time to get Terraspark Boots and a Bundle of Balloons, as they help immensely i don’t disagree with this but the counterpoint is that in the time it takes to get these you’d probably get enough attempts in to beat skeleton at least 3 times, statistically speaking

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

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

you can get the balloons out of sky crates iirc but honestly the bundle of balloons gets pretty redundant once you can get wings. if you can kill one mech boss without it you can get the jetpack which is functionally similar but better

Fruits of the sea posted:Calamity trip report: I really dig some of the new toys but not so wild about how it hands you shortcuts for a lot of the early/mid-game key items. I guess it wants the player to be able to tackle tough fights right from the start (and some of the vanilla bosses are a lot more challenging), but I'm a carebear who enjoys spending hours building pretty houses in between looking for a metal detector or whatever, so the progression feels totally rushed. i mostly agree, but it should also be noted that what's the mid-game in vanilla is still very much the early game in calamity, and many things that are the end of massive crafting trees in vanilla keep being iterated on throughout the game. like terraspark boots and the ankh shield. also my latest vanilla playthrough never got a high test fishing line despite doing way more than 75 fishing quests so i'm not against making the fishing accessories easier to get

it's literally just shout outs notch put in his game when he was still working on it. i think only two of those main menu texts has ever gotten removed since notch stopped working on the game and got himself cancelled. terraria itself has a randomized text element on the window if you play windowed mode iirc and that one can also sometimes say something like "also try: minecraft" as a nod back
