Looks interesting

Also it's been leaked twice and the source code is out now.

Apparently that same leak pushed the developers into releasing it next Monday(5/16) as well. $9.99 special price on steam for a short time, then it will revert to full price.

I'm planning on buying, I don't care to try finding a non-virus ridden leak version with my luck. Also, support the devs.

This is addictive as hell

>>15381
I don't get it

BECAUSE I WAS CURIOUS. Speed is tested by breaking 3 blocks, first frame is when first hit happens and the dirt effect comes out of the block, last frame is when last block item appears.
At 60fps with no attack speed bonus:
Molten Pickaxe breaks 3 ash blocks in 50 frames.
Nightmare Pickaxe breaks 3 ash blocks in 75 frames.
At 60fps with 65% attack speed bonus:
Molten Pickaxe breaks 3 ash blocks in 50 frames.
Nightmare Pickaxe breaks 3 ash blocks in 75 frames.

Time taken per ash block with Nightmare Pickaxe: 29 frames (from first dirt effect to the frame before the third dirt effect, which would be on the second block)
Molten Pickaxe: 24 frames

Molten Pickaxe is superior when it comes to blocks that would take 2 hits with the Nightmare, and attack speed bonuses do not effect mining speed. For ash block, Molten is 21% faster than Nightmare. For a single hit block like dirt, Nightmare would be 14 frames per block as opposed to 24 frames from the Molten, a 71% increase in mining speed. "Use Time" listed on the wiki.terrariaonline.com seems to be mostly accurate, it just seems to count the frame which starts the next block.

>>15989
>Seawater is infinite

>Buckets

nono, it's a glitch. make a platform with two glass blocks one block apart with a dirt between them then place water on it so it spreads and becomes super thin. then remove the dirt, when super thing water flows between two glass blocks downward it duplicates.

>>15989
Flooding Hell is a noob move. It's twice as hard to fight in water, and you have to keep going up for air. The only thing it accomplishes is creating obsidian shells over the lava, and you can just put down DIRT to accomplish that!

Also it's pretty difficult to put down sand to get rid of the water when imps are tossing fireballs at you near-constantly, and bone serpents knocking you around otherwise.

Here is my totally awesome world with a jungle bee farm area. You need the large open space (with some of the grass covered by stone) to prevent maneaters from spawning/zombies from persisting and slowing shit down.

One bucket of lava spread thin enough on the roof to kill monsters but not gib items.
There are two chests in the jungle farm safehouse. One is nearly full of slime gel. The other, stingers.

>>16001
So flooding the overworld has a practical purpose, then?

>>15984
>Waaaaaiting is the hardest part~

Theres a way to speed up time ingame if you don't need be be supervising anything.

Turn off frameskip in options, turn on windowed, and when ingame minimize it by clicked the button on the taskbar rather than by any other way. The game keeps running in the background like that at a much higher speed.

Warning, doing this may cause:
death by worms (even in molten armor)
extremely strange sound effects (being played super fast)

>>15990
Sea water is NOT infinite! I have drained the sea before.

Do they sell you shit cheap in exchange for living at your house or are those multiplayer people?

One sells general supplies (as well as two of the most useful tools in the game), one sells firearms and ammunition, one sells explosives, one sells seeds and anti-Corruption powder, one gives you instant cheap healing, one sells you clothes (which do basically nothing besides interfere with my armor's light-producing particle trails) and one of them does nothing except take up space, open all your doors and in general be a useless fuck.

So they're squatters. They're merchants who don't even pay lease what the fuck man.

This should probably get posted since it's relevant.
Just in case nobody has seen it yet.

1.05 is out. They nerfed the Star Cannon and the Rocket Boots to the point of uselessness, and to compensate all we got was an excessively complex alchemy system. Oh, and there's even more super-hard enemies, and you're basically screwed if you spawn near a desert because the enemies are so high-level.

Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

>>16631

Can it. It's not their fault you're a goddamn pansy.

The new Star Cannon is total shit compared to, say, Starfury. Sunfury is still awesome. Muramasa was too broken for even me, so I don't really mind. Rocket Boots are useless, they're incredibly hard to get but offer no practical advantage over Cloud in a Bottle.

Muramasa was already by far the weakest 'end-game' weapon. and they -nerfed- it? lol

SO. INFORMATION. Everything from this point on will be in spoiler.

>New NPCS

Build three new rooms ahead of time, assuming you've got everyone. Then, in your new world, break a few shadow orbs to get the gobby invasion going.

Once it's over, head to the dungeon. The new NPCs will be waiting in there, untie them with right click. (Check housing when you free them, they should show up.)

It's advisable to magic mirror as soon as you do so, then set their new room. This will save them from getting mauled in the dungeon.

>HARDMODE


Got the new NPCs? Freed up accessory space with the Tinkerer Station? Reforged your weapons and spells? Go down to the Underworld. Find a Voodoo Demon and murder the SHIT out of it. Once you have the doll, go over to a pool of lava.

WARNING: THE WALL OF FLESH WILL KICK YOUR ASS.

Seriously, though, the WoF will force you to run away through the underworld, so you might want to prep with walkways. Furthermore, it will always spawn rushing at your face, as far as I know. So plan accordingly.

If it kicks your ass (And it will) you will have to wait for two things: The return of the guide and the WoF to finish it's looooong trip across the underworld. Then you have to find a new doll and start over.


>Traps
There's three wiring setups that are randomly generated.

One is a boulder trap. these drop 2x2 stones on you that probably are instagib. Another is a dart trap, which launches a poisoned wooden arrow. finally, only present in the dungeon, is a light switch.

You can find these in a number of ways. Look for pressure plates on the ground. Look for boulders in the ceiling. Look for dart launchers in the walls. STAY AWARE.

Moar info~

The underground for the Hallow is not quite as dangerous as the underground for the corruption. Hallow seems to prefer less projectiles than the corruption does, and it doesn't have FUCKING WRAITHS. When Pearlstone is in the Underground, it can spawn Crystal growths. You can hammer these and they are important in many hardmode recipes.

In the Corrupt underground, there's Clingers that drop Cursed Flames, which is the opposite to Crystals.

A friend of mine gifted this to me, I gotta get around to installing it.

All the horror stories about Hallowed and Corruption spreading like wildfire on the Terraria Online forums turned out to be nothing. I built a wall of Iridescent bricks around my base so nothing too close to me would get changed to either side... I ended up planting Hallowed seeds next to my base because it was so slow and I needed light souls.

Mage setup isn't utterly horrible anymore either, a lot still don't like it (not as high bonuses on gear as range or melee) but I'm tearing through everything with my masterful Crystal Storm and Demon Sctyhe.

Just need to farm potion stuff now for buffs and I'm ready to attempt soloing the hardmode bosses.

Didn't even know people had classes in this.

If so I'm a rocket mage knight. Chop stuff, make good use of a few spells.

im pretty sure wraiths spawn (and wyverns at higher altitudes) no matter what and they are the main component of not being able to get a breather ever on hardmode. hallowed and corruption can spread -past- but not into man-made barriers and -all- odd bricks. For true protection you need a gap of four spaces, but I stopped caring if corruption and hallow take over. Corruption has stupid flying dudes called corruptors who spit projectiles that convert any valid tiles to corruption, so it spreads MUCH more readily than hollow and can 'compromise' 'quarantined' areas unless you have make REALLY elaborate accommodations.

Believe the claims of ranged overpoweredness, but with some salt. Ranged IS overpowered, but it is -not- game breaking as everyone seems to exaggerate it is, much less so by a single (and often intermittent / situational from my experience !) factor like crystal bullets. I stand by another ranged enthusiast who prefers Hallowed Repeater + Cursed Arrows + Archery Potion, as it seems to get fights done sooner despite not seeming like it should at a glance of the statistics.

Mage setup is actually -very- versatile though it is a larger potion-sink and requires more attention / finesse than alternatives. The tierings people give the magic weapons seems to be based on both dps AND mana consumption, when it should just be dps. End game, youre not going to give a shit about your mana consumption if you have a mana-flower to automatically manage mana recovery for you; you can go EVEN MORE offensive if you manually manage your mana recovery and swap the mana flower and other +mana / -mana cost things with other modifiers. Mana recovery doesn't have (many) a cooldown and therefore doesn't have the mind-raking micromanagement of regular buffs / healing which usually eats away at my efficiency using other loadouts.

I'm pretty sick of the weaknesses that comes with 'boss-killer' loadouts. Most regular enemies (yes even wyverns) are not that difficult to deal with when 1) it does not consume ammo, mana or inventory space beyond one square (all melee options), 2) is just high enough in damage but no more to comfortably deal with skeleton archers and armored skeletons, allowing all other accessories and reforges to be geared for exploration.

wow this was long.

I'm surprised people plan stuff this hard.

I kind of just go with the flow and keep items around for any situation
1.pickaxe
2.Vilethorn
3...water bullet was it?
4.Death scythe
5.Health/MP mega potions (max stacks, have about 60-90 on me at any given time, though i have never really needed to use more than one stack)
6. molten hamaxe
7,8,9 used to be magic mirror(or starfury, just remembered I got that), orb of light and grapple, but since orb got shittier and I found out that there is a hotkey for grapple, those are just anything I want
0 is Masamune

I can pretty much deal with anything. Maybe I'm just good at dodging. ._.

Lol, bunny farming souls. I do it the hard way, but I also like to run around and explore while I kill.

Wyverns are annoying as hell, but they spawn so high up that as long as you time your jump right they'll never hit you at all.

As for the corruptor's spitting crap everywhere, I never see them on the surface for some reason. Even in corrupted areas, I only see them in underground corruption.

I just started playing this recently.
I have resisted the temptation to look stuff up (which can ruin a lot of the fun of a game like this), so I am still pretty clueless. I haven't even found out what you use coins for.

Actually, Terraria isn't like that at all. The entire purpose of the Guide is so that you don't have to waste time experimenting.

>>19940
Indeed. Really, before the new guide and discovering the wiki, I spent way too much time on not much. A lot of the recipes are not intuitive and you would have to have a bunch of things just on you to randomly find it in the crafting list.

A day or so after I posted here, I found out that you can talk to that NPC guy who starts next to you >.<
I have never been so embarrassed and ecstatic at the same time.

Also, today I fought the first boss (the giant eye). It was a fun fight, and I was incredibly glad I already had a conveniently flat area next to my base.

Scared the crap out of me the first time I saw the message.

I was halfway down the world, background just turned black "You feel an evil presence watching you". I was stuck there for a long time, weapon ready.

So how do you actually play multiplayer? When I try the 'join' option, it asks me to 'enter IP server address'.

Find someone hosting and ask for the IP.

A (somewhat exploity) idea I had:
Cross necklace + high armor + floor of hellstone = 1 damage/second making you count as 'damaged', protecting you from things such as boss attacks
Results: So far I have not tested it against a boss, but in tests against hardmode monsters, there is a partial but notable success rate at preventing monster damage. Whether this method actually helps in boss fights depends on how often you are hit by the boss, as the constant one damage/second prevents regeneration and wears at your health.

It protects you from all attacks that aren't colliding with a boss's actual body (if you are touching the monster's body when it comes time for damage to tick, that takes priority over the hellstone). So it's a lot more effective against the twins and destroyer than skeletron prime, but it helps against all of them.

>>20103
i do this, and the amount of damage colliding with a boss is obscene in all circumstances so the priority is to end the fight as soon as possible which armor accessories just delay. what's funny is spazmatism's cursed flamethrower attack takes no priority at all over the fire-block damage. for skeletron, the fire-block exploit allows targeting the saw a legitimate strategy. once it's gone you can relax infinitely

equip star cloak for a lol. it's not effective on bosses but if it's reforged, whatever
