Terraria discussion thread

First of all I want to introduce myself. I'm Tiy and I do pixel art and design on Terraria. Up until now I've probably been the least vocal member of the team. I decided it was time for that to change, but it wouldn't be much of an introduction if I didn't bring you some good news would it?

One major addition to 1.0.4 will be a feature we're calling Social Costume Slots. Costume items will replace the look of your armor without altering it's stats, resulting in a beautiful convergence of fabulous and functional. Some costumes will require you to brush up on your textiles skills, whilst others will have you mercilessly spelunking the depths on an exciting fashion adventure.

Another hot issue I wanted to address was the removal of Cobalt armor and the addition of Grass armor. First of all, Cobalt armor will be back somewhere down the line, with all new functionality. We wanted to replace it with an armor more fitting of it's drop location and grass armor was the obvious choice. However, we're aware that armor changes are always going to be controversial. Given that armor is such a subjective issue. We're looking at ways to provide players with more variety per armor set, social items are only the beginning.

Finally I wanted to leave you with this..

1.0.4 ....

Take care everyone

Looks promising as hell. I like the idea of Social Costume Slots. Besides costumes and bunnies I wonder if they'll add any new mechanics to the game.
