Im not sure how to feel about this

>>16575304

>>second to last update

Pretty fucking good, since the game's been getting consistent, high quality updates for free for almost a decade. Seriously, it came out in 2011.

No strict date?

>>16575304

there's also a bunch of stuff hidden in the trailer. let me list some for you

>strange minimap icon at 0:11

>hanging mushroom thingies at 0:12

>xenon, krypton % argon moss at 0:14

>storm spear, desert torch and desert fauna at 0:24

>scarab bomb & new statues/paintings at 0:27

>dunerider boots and maybe a new slot for pets (kinda looks like a broken egg) at 0:32

>apple tree at 0:40

>fishing rod at 0:42

>wind tracker & picknick tables at 1:19

also theres a bunch of unknown items in the slot bar they have yet to reveal. terraria devs do this all the time

>>16575412

They said about a month back that it'll definitely come out by Christmas.

>new difficulty mode

I'm satisifed just with this. The quality of life stuff like the beastiary seems cool, even if i already had a mod for that.

From what i can also see theres some new fishing related bosses.

Also, knowing re-logic since they decided to drop 1.3.6 update in favor of calling it 1.4 there will probably be a shit ton more items and other fluff added which will give it a bit more progression.

Overall seems great.

>Journey's end

>We're not going to update this game anymore guys! for real this time!!!

lmao

Wait, is master going to be a difficulty mode like expert or is it going to be world specific like hardmode?

Haven't touched the game since it came out, how does one beat terraria?

>>16575291

Terraria is going to have a beastiality? Cool!

>>16576331

It's a sandbox game, but it does have a very linear progression to it. as of 1.3, no clue if the ladder will change

Normally this is done by doing what is called pre-hardmode (everything before Wall of flesh) which is probably what your used to in terraria (mining ore, getting upgrades, using caveman tier weapons and fighting a huge eyeball)

After you pass pre-hardmode you will be in hardmode where the progression starts tilting more towards boss drops then cavemining (but there still is mining, it's just a lot faster)

The most clear representation of this climb is pickaxe power, where it raises the bar on what materials can be mined which progresses throughout the game.

As an example, the pickaxe axe has 200% pickaxe power and is craftable once you bear all the mechanical bosses, it allows you to progress from hallow to chlorophyte.

This is very much a wiki game. A lot of the good shit is crafted or achived in a way that might not be given directly to the player, while you can goto the guide and see what can be crafted with a given item, it says nothing of boss or enemy drops. Like the rod of discord, one of the best items in the game but yet it's only clear documentation is from the wiki.

>>16576331

>>16576741

tl;dr: just fight the bosses.

>>16576741

>it's very clearly a wiki game

If you're a faggot that needs to know everything before he tries anything.

>>16577241

Well, perhaps it's just that i'm an autistic power gamer who like big stat numbers.

It's just another eliment to the game, not something that destroys it. Wiki games are comfy to me.

It'd be nice if they optimised this better with mono.

Using the linux client is suffering when any mod used could break it.

>>16577241

>>16577328

Consider: The UI for talking to the Guide is terrible (at least as of 1.2.x when I last played). If information in game was more readily accessed, then the game itself would be a wiki and wouldn't need external resources

>>16577499

>talk to guide

>crafting

>drag item to slot

>tells you everything the item is made from, including items you've never seen before

How is this "terrible"?

>>16577639

Because you have to move the item to the slot, instead of simply ctrl-clicking. You also have to manually remove the item yourself, instead of having it automatically replace it with the next one. The general blue cell they have for the UI looks confusing and I know when I was a new player, it was literally weeks before I figured out how the Guide worked.

It's pure clunk.

>>16577681

>when I was a new player, it was literally weeks before I figured out how the Guide worked.

you are retarded, i understood what the fuck that was the first time i talked to the guide.

consider offing yourself to save us from your stupidity

>>16577681

>ask guide about crafting

>inventory opens with a new, out-of-place slot for an item

>no idea what to do

Are you really a man if you see an empty hole and don't feel the urge to fill it?

>>16575304

>second to last update

What? I haven't heard of this. Maybe they've finally decided to start moving towards a new game.

>>16577622

>nothing new

Disappointing. They could've added some simple extra shit into bossfights, like small enemies or projectiles that are moving all around or something increasing the amount of things you have to avoid. Maybe enemy spawners that appear randomly and spawn enemies much faster than natural spawns. Also letting enemies destroy terrain again.

>>16576140

>We're not going to update this game anymore guys! for real this time!!!

They even said it was the penultimate update so there's at least one more after this.

>>16577900

>>16577622

It might at least have some utility for making a /v/ Terraria server that anons won't blow through in only 24 hours.

>>16577900

Actually allowing enemies to spawn during bossfights could be sufficient.

>still doesn't add Apaches or tanks

What a shit update. 0/10.

>>16577961

Bruh

>>16577923

To be fair I love guns and when I start a new game, I try to find any explosive to summon the dwarf so I can buy additional dynamite/bombs, find a mirror and something to limit falling to my death (balloon, hook, whatever)

Then I just quickly bomb for an orb to break, fetch whatever and teleport away.

Just from that I don't need to wait for platinum pickaxe or equivalent.

>>16577961

>still doesn't add features already in the game

???????

>>16576684

TERRARIA 2 NEVER EVER

>>16578532

They'll reach 2.0 eventually.

>>16575249

Why does the madman keep working on this game for free? Everyone already owns it so it's not like he's getting more sales.

>>16577360

Fucking this. The Linux "port" of Terraria is a fucking embarrassingly badly optimized turd.

>>16576741

>After you pass pre-hardmode you will be in hardmode where the progression starts tilting more towards boss drops then cavemining (but there still is mining, it's just a lot faster)

I never waste my time mining for crap in hardmode, I just fish a ton of crates before the wall and then open them up once it's defeated. The other thing that forces me to do this is I find intolerable how breaking an altar spawns random corruption/hallowed in the world, I need to be able to keep that shit under control. When chlorophyte becomes important I just build myself mud farms for it; it's way too tedious to look for the amount of chlorophyte you need spawned naturally in the jungle.

>>16575321

>Pretty fucking good, since the game's been getting consistent, high quality updates for free for almost a decade. Seriously, it came out in 2011.

How the fuck does Re-Logic even make money? They released one game eight years ago and have been providing it with free updates ever since instead of milking their customers. Are people still buying Terraria in large enough numbers to keep the company going? I would have thought that anyone and their grandmother has at least one copy of Terraria by now.

Not that I'm complaining, I'm just wondering how such a thing is possible every other company is being greedy kikes and selling mundane shit like soundtrack separately.

>>16578890

Because he's smart. He made a shit ton of cash with Terraria. As long as his customers love him (they do) he can collect another check for $(shit ton of cash) at any point by Early-Accessing Terraria 2, even if it's vaporware. Working on the game he has, for free, is a greater guarantee of future money than any releasing any half-assed second game that would diminish his reputation.

>>16578915

>When chlorophyte becomes important I just build myself mud farms for it; it's way too tedious to look for the amount of chlorophyte you need spawned naturally in the jungle.

Ever used shroomite digging claw+mining potions+spluinker potions?

It's probably the fastest way to get chlorophyte. Unless theres some why to speed up the spread of chlorophyte farms..

>>16580422

Usually don't bother with shroomite claws because I find their reduces range kind of annoying and that's a big chunk of chlorophyte that could be used to make something else.

>>16581560

I really wish chlorophyte grew faster.

>>16578992

>Are people still buying Terraria in large enough numbers to keep the company going? I would have thought that anyone and their grandmother has at least one copy of Terraria by now.

Terraria was totally unheard of in Japan until the 3ds port which got super popular.

>120 percent more items

>90% of which will probably be shit-tons of furniture and cosmetic items/blocks

>ultra-hardcore difficulty mode

They're really milking this thing, if that's a word that can describe it. It got old for me a long time ago, these updates just don't make me want to replay it, not after they added the grindy farmy padding mode called "hardmode", the awful fishing feature and the sea of tacky invasion events instead of improving on the game's formula - namely fucking spelunking, exploring and looting which dies halfway into the game.

Terraria just needs a sequel at this point, hopefully one with better and more meaningful progression without a wave of poor afterthoughts.

Niggers, this was over 8 years ago, I was 10 then. I'm just saying it should be more intuitive since the whole point of the guide is to guide new players

>>16582308

How much more intuitive do you want it to be? You click "crafting" and it opens your inventory with a new, empty, alien slot where an item can go.

>>16575321

>>16582300

Thank fuck I'm not the only one.

>>16582748

How do you see the full details of the material item , as if you hovered over a real one in your inventory?

>>16582748

Seems slow and more painful than the current?

More blatant sure but it'll get irritating to older players.

>>16582785

Even the chat was angry about that

>>16582785

Did they really cut probably the only good thing out of E3?

>>16582807

If it's a weapon or tool I want to know its statistics.

>>16582807

>Worse, it was Her Story which isn't even a videogame.

Yeah I wouldn't know, after terraria got shut off I turned off the stream and went to bed while they were introducing the devs or whatever.

>>16582817

The statistics of a material in the recipe? Why?

To compare stats of secondary items in upgrades I guess? Like if you're crafting Terrablade, you only have one of the items in the input box and can't necessarily compare stats with the second.

>>16577961

>he doesn't know

Summon a frost moon.

>>16579057

GOG includes the soundtrack for free. Steam's run by kikes, so they charge extra for it.

>>16582843

Things like names and descriptions too. How do you hover over materials for more information if you're already using a tooltip to display them?

>>16582806

It actually happened. Not even halfway through the trailer and the stream cut off only for Terraria to be replaced with some gay shit without any explanation.

>>16582908

Lists can be vertical and have names next to the icon. I don't necessarily think you should get a full description for other material items from the crafting guide.

But if you really need to then you can just show all the information you want somewhere next to the item list when you click an item from it.

>>16578532

Man, we don't need Terraria 2.

They've been updating this game for a fucking decade, as far as I am concerned we're already up to Terraria 3.

First hell was the end content.

Then the mechanical bosses.

Then we had moon lord.

They have provided more content and contuinity than any other game I've played so far.

>>16582308

still, it sounds retarded

>>16582674

Terraria specializes in huge updates.

>>16582696

>terraria's ui is terrible wah wah

it's better than what (((""modern devs""))) produce

>>16582785

thumbnail looks like mk-ultra brainwashing

>>16582867

>failed to quote

>>16582696

Terraria UI can improve, but it's simple, intuition and functional. It doesn't get in the way and once you get used to it there's literally not a single problem.

I can only think of a few updates, and most mods solve these issues like the magic storage with the work storage station.

And I don't want to be that guy, but compared to other games, Terraria UI is perfect. That's not to say that only because other games are trash means this one is good, but it does have it's merits.

>>16582949

"We" don't advocate for others, faggot need it, faggot. Why? Because Terraria 1 have pushed the absolutely fucking limit of it's engine. A lot of things can be improved that wouldn't work with the current engine, and they can keep cramming more features on top of the features of the original game.

>>16582696

>>16582748

Funny enough, your ui proposal sounds even fucking worse.

I bought this shit in 2012. I has consistently had fresh content coming out long after I moved on from regular play. Every time I come back the changes and new shit have made the game new and exciting to me again. Easily the best money I have spent on a video game since I first bought FF Tactics for my PS.

>>16575249

I don't know how to feel about this year's E3. None of the game trailers are being talked about in the community, in fact people are busy talking about Keanu and that east asian woman.

It was peculiar that people aren't talking about incoming games so I looked up the PC games trailer and found out why.

Nothing was interesting, from EA, Bethesda to Ubisoft. Nintendo is still good at doing their own thing, but everything else felt lackluster.

Terraria otoh, isn't that much of a surprise, because it's been announced long before already, although I'm just glad that it's soon gonna conclude so they could start working on their next game.

>>16587705

I would put this in the e3 thread but I know it would be ignored because of the shills assigned here instead of at cuckchan. Creativity in games is slowing down and people know it. This is the combined result of several things that can be boiled down to a few:

> publisher mandates to rehash, induce stagnation, and appeal to the lowest common denominator because even though that's guaranteed sales in the short-run, the method of that appeal eventually loses its intrinsic appeal - circular stagnation

> related to previous; no or barely any mid-low budget experimental titles to test the waters because everything has to be a AAA franchise-spawner

> SJWs in gaming, nuff said

> Older and recent games that are still on the market or are alive through varyingly-active communities

I never miss the chance to say this: there are less and less franchises active these days than 10 years ago and especially 10 years before that. Not every game needs to spawn a franchise, but it says so much how game series have consolidated into possessing the same core mechanics, style, "feel," and so many other things. We haven't escaped the mockery that was GenericFPS.jpg, as that extends to basically every genre now.

10 years ago this problem was mentioned so many times but those people and the obscure journalists that did say it are gone and replaced by SJW filth and shills. Every e3 will be less and less exciting as publishers spin their wheels not willing to allow more than AAA rehashes, SJWs SJWing, and people realize their favorite game already exists but you have to install a few patches to make it compatible. The amazing thing is that this effect can be seen in movies and TV shows. There's only so many times you can hype something up and deliver a rehash. Then something with 0.001% novelty pops up, plebs led by shills hype it, that novelty is run into the ground and the effect worsens in the long run.

>>16587402

That's just a lesson in outsourcing.

>>16582949

Terraria's engine is limited, a second game could improve the engine, then it'd be better.

Basically, why haven't we seen any mods that have some structures that AREN'T on the world, but can be accessed through the world you're in?

Someone tried it, but it broke down the game, as it's not really possible in the current engine.

This was just an example of what the engine can't do.

It wouldn't be a terrible idea to make a sequel.

Also fuck Terraria Online forum mods for banning me all those years ago.

>>16587263

It just seems like that because you're used to the shit we've had for years.

>>16587781

Yes, they are taking what they see as the safe bets, chasing after Hollywood. I fucking love Otogi, but maybe it would be bad to see a game done in that style now.

>>16589033

>Someone tried it, but it broke down the game, as it's not really possible in the current engine.

I wonder about the skills of that guy.

The main difference between an engine that's designed to support it and one that isn't, is that you need to do move around more things from more places manually instead of having everything packed as a convenient blob of "world state" data or whatever that you can swap between.

Doing it would require extensive knowledge of the engine and more effort than your typical "new boss monster and items" modder, but it shouldn't be impossibly hard. I'd like to hear the precise reasons why it's supposedly so difficult.

>>16589249

>is that you need to do move around more things from more places manually instead of having everything packed as a convenient blob of "world state" data or whatever that you can swap between

If that's the case wouldn't this be an issue with tmodloader? Their responsible for providing the api after all..

>>16581804

How did you make chains on 4 pic?

>>16590477

Looks like minecart tracks.

>>16590013

I have no idea how it works so I can't tell. I mostly meant that the engine itself shouldn't prevent it if for instance Relogic wanted to add it.

What are some good mods to play before 1.4?

>>16599902

Geeeeeeeeee, Cenx why do you get two updates?

>>16575432

>apple tree

Very nice, now I can make yoshis house

Reminder that 2D golf is the lowest form of autism.

>UI element is tedious but usable

>autists in thread screeching that being usable means it is flawless

If writing down crafting items and station can be faster than looking them up a second time, there is an issue.

One option to fix this would be to divide items into categories and filter out only certain categories. The box selection screen posted earlier would be an option, but conflicts with the design philosophy of leaving the center of the screen free so you can always play with the inventory on. If there were a toggle to switch between the box version and the original this wouldn't be an issue. With the box inventory, required items and station can be displayed below the box without problems.

I'm really happy about the tombstone mini biome. That's been a commonly requested feature. Halloween builds just got even better.

do the tshock fags still take forever to update their shit?

>>16604373

The main problem with the guide is that you have to run over to him every time you want to look up something so minor.

That, and the perfect solution already exists in the form of a mod named "Recipe browser" A single bindable hotkey you can bring up at any time with a good ui that allows both instant look up for a signle item's recipes and those you have yet to get.

All other solutions, such as the retard who recommended a fucking hover menu were pretty retarded.

>got to hover over the item every time you want to see whats needed to craft it

>will instantly case a lot of back and forth where you're getting items from chests and rechecking what item is needed

>not just having a single window that shows all the time and doesn't need a fucking npc to use

>>16606663

By back and forth i don't just mean the travel to the guide, i mean that and needing to move you mouse back over to the desired item each time.

>>16606663

You have to run back to the NPCs every time you want to heal or shop too. That's the point of having a town of NPCs in Terraria.

>>16603726

We shall see. We shall see.

>>16606673

Yeah but not to do literally the same thing has having a wiki open would do.

What ever happened with that game? it looked neat but weird and then all of a sudden it gets dropped.

>>16607581

There was no game, the devs behind it just made assets and no actual game, wasting all the money and time with nothing to show for it except for assets.

>>16606798

>>16613002

I thought they made it so that water going to hell evaporates to prevent that.

They did a decent job with the 3ds port. I thought it would suck compared to PC but it's good enough in case I'm too lazy to sit.

>>16613516

The game tried, but it had difficulty keeping up with the volume. Finally it stopped trying to evaporate the water off, and just had screenfuls of water vanish every 90 seconds or so. The last batch vanished right as I was high up in the middle of a large room, fell to my death. Ocean is bone dry now, and very little water remains on the path down.

On the plus side, with the exception of the few areas where lava is pouring in, most of hell is currently coated in stone.

>>16613002

You did a good job of systematically hunting down all the least beginner friendly areas the game has to offer. Maybe take a trip to the jungle, I hear it's very comfy :^)

>>16614330

Yes, unless you install some mods.

>>16614276

Good call on the Jungle. So far I've found a Honey machine of some kind, will go nicely in my house. Also got some item that let's me double jump, so that's awesome. Found some massive building, looking for an entrance since I can't mine through the walls with my weak gold pickaxe.

>>16614776

The only thing that can mine through that place's walls is dropped by the boss of that place. There is a definite entrance, but it's locked for now. Though it's still worth it to find it since you'll have to eventually anyways and, as you've found, the chests you find while exploring the dungeon have useful stuff for you right now.

The Honey Dispenser is a crafting station for Honey furniture. Combine Water and Honey to make Honey Blocks to get started. If you have't found Honey yet then keep looking around the Jungle. That search is also worthwhile at your current level.

>>16615151

>The only thing that can mine through that place's walls

Self correction, the first digging tool capable of it drops from him. There are higher tier digging tools that can mine those blocks.

>>16614330

Right now yes. They are having deep internal discussions about whether to add a bonus post Moon Man boss. Half of them are for it and half are against it.

>>16614776

He was being sarcastic, faggot.

>>16614873

It isn't a sequel per se but moving the game to a different, more capable engine without having to do magic for it to work.

>>16615161

Expanding existing mechanics would be nice. I wouldn't mind a last last boss in the actual final update.

>>16613002

>You will never play terraria for the first time again

>>16615151

Yeah, went back with the gear I got from the Jungle and Underground Jungle areas, and killed the super spooky skeleton guy. Raided the hell out of the giant Dungeon. Finally got a weapon that does over 20 damage base. Got me a boomstick now, had to practically build a city to get the ammo seller to show up. I tried taking on Queen Bee, but ended up falling into and drowning in honey. Gonna try her again once I modify the battlefield a little. Been trying to harvest every bomb and stick of dynamite I can find, at least they bust through ebonstone.

>>16615207

Eh, I had already gone everywhere that was good and suicidal, I needed somewhere new to get into trouble. You don't have to be a humorless faggot.

>>16617005

You'll find that half the battle against bosses is preparing a suitable arena.

>>16615371

Just don't ever play it in the first place and you won't have these feelings.

>>16617005

Leave yourself a little bit of honey though. It helps during the Queen Bee fight. So does a campfire and a heart lantern.

>>16615371

thank fuck, early game is shit
