Terraria discussion thread

So much new pomegranate just in that screenshot alone (which was obviously the point). I really hope this update is going to be released soon, the anticipation is killing me.

Just from a quick glance, here are the new things I noticed:
- Two new ore types, a pure pink one and some multicolored one next to it
- Two new gun weapons
- Able to put 999 items in a stack now
- Chest inventory expanded (or at least there's now a chest with a bigger inventory)
- Some strange item in the chest inventory that sort of looks like a pair of digging claws or something
- A new NPC on the top floor of the house, the fortune teller-looking dude
- A new armor made from that pink ore
- The ability to dye your armor to change its colour, as evidence by the guy turning the pink armor blue
- Some odd-looking futuristic Jetson-type vanity/armor set
- Three new Accessory equips: the golden balloon, the space boots, and what looks like a chunk of honeycomb
- A rope hanging down his hellhole

It's so freaking close!

Woot. I propose we get a brand new world with brand new characters to take our time exploring the new things, unless its a bunch of end game content lol.

I've already planned on starting a new world for the SP server. New characters is dependent on how much stuff 1.2 has for pre-hard mode. So far it seems like it's mostly hard mode revamp and stuff beyond Hard Mode, with QoL improvements / additions.

 And now, rainbows!

Source.

Slime with an umbrella.

Seems legit.

Oh my god, RAINBOWS. Also, that slime.

This update is making me so giddy.

NPC quest system, Hell remake, dungeon remake, work on 5 bosses, + everything else they have already shown... Damn.

New to the game, got it during the Steam summer sale. The urge to use TEdit is overwhelming (Not to mention the game's many, many exploits, apparently). Must resist..

Been digging for what seems like forever in search of gold to craft a gold pickaxe with. Finally got one. The copper one is way too slow.

I never really found Hard Mode that entertaining. It was a permanent change that made the game far less enjoyable for me, and you couldn't even play online without people rushing to activate it immediately, which made online play even less entertaining than it already could be because if you weren't ready for it you basically couldn't do anything at all ever again on that server without handouts.

Happy that the entire update isn't just HM and later changes.

If you think a Copper Pickaxe is too slow, wait until you get Drills.

I can't wait to stream all this

Are people really like that? I've only ever played with friends (well, to be fair, only with like 2 people ever) and we always take our time with pre-Hard Mode. In fact, Hard Mode is never an option until we've done everything in Normal. It's more fun that way to me. Rushing to Hard Mode to me is just asking for a headache. I guess I'm too casual.

Back when I still played, I've tried to join several different servers, even ones that had a rule of No Hard Mode, and all of them had people causing Hard Mode within 48 hours of them starting up. I'm not sure if it was "griefing" attempts, or just plain ignorance, but it got to the point where I was sick of playing online unless it was only with friends.

It's honestly one of the reasons Minecraft will be forever superior to Terraria for me in multiplayer play. Minecraft has portals and special "dimensions" for harder difficulty play, where Terraria has permanent Hard Mode that you cannot disable without essentially cheating, and that's provided the server admin wants that to happen. If you're not the server admin, mind as well quit the server if you don't want Hard Mode regardless of how much effort you put into it before then.

Honestly the entire concept of "You turned on Hard Mode and can NEVER, EVER turn it off in this world without cheating," in the first place is stupid to me. The game is half building sandbox and in my experience it's ridiculously retarded trying to build in Hard Mode because of how many masses of monsters spawn.

Nothing major, but I'll take it!

Did some optimization today, the current version of the game now takes 100mb less memory, even though the content has doubled.

Some more stuff

take your guesses

Sounds like a haunted house theme.

A "spooky" biome could be pretty cool.

I agree, I say it is the crimson/hunted house/graveyard biome
