Yeah unless something drastically changed since I kept up with it, Terraria forums will be a whooole bunch of migraine punctuated by 1 dev teaser with 3 animated pictures every few months. Don't read the user posts. Save yourself.

Started to play this and spawned in a tiny area of forest bordered by a snowy forest on one side and a crazy purple forest on the other. I figured that might be easier than the tundra, but then these huge eyeball monster things started divebombing me. I think they were called 'Eater of Souls'.

Also the axe I spawned with is an "annoying copper axe" that is apparently crap. Probably explains why it was doing 1 measly damage to the eyeball things.

1.2 have been out for a while now.
I think the thread needs a slight name change.
Maybe something to mention that 1.3 is near?

Yeh, you may want to stay away from the corruption for a while.

Just a little tip: the copper pickaxe does more damage than the copper axe, so hit things with the pickaxe instead. Doubly so for an annoying copper axe.

A friend dragged me back into this. 15 hours in 2 days.. Probably the 10th time I'm starting from scratch and still having tons of fun, this game truly is epic

[MaximumZero]

Spoiler: epic (click to show/hide)

[Neonivek]

I don't know...

I think Epic is quite appropriate if a cheese burger made me do that face.

[Sergius]

That jar is fuckin' epic!

So, we're getting an interface upgrade for 1.3. A lot of it is icon skinning, but also a button to "stack to nearby containers"! This is pretty rad, IMO. How nearby, I don't know, but still it's easier to spam clicking the button while walking thru your storage than opening every single chest.

Also you can mark things as favorites to prevent accidental tossing.

And use money from your (piggy) bank / safe to pay for stuff.

You can also craft using stuff in open containers).

Accessories that show data now will work without being equipped, things like GPS and so on, or even just nearby another player that has them. Also adding new ones like weather and moon phases.

And you can take captures of larger areas than your screen.

This!  This.  I've wanted this for, like, three years.

The rest of that stuff sounds nice, but grabbing stuff out of containers just for crafting, one of the things I hate.  Why didn't we have this working years ago?

(Because because the game was released before it was ready, which was itself necessary because of the pirated beta....)

Ohwell.  I was able to hack around my other pet peeve, which was the "Deposit All" button.

These changes probably won't bring me back to the game.  I recently soloed a hardmode character from game start through to the Frost Moon.  So I'm probably done for a year or so.

WE'RE STILL GETTING NEW STUFF?!

[Culise]

Yep.  I've been waiting for 1.3 for a while; I've held off on going into Hardmode on my present 1.2 character because I knew I was going to be making a new world (and likely a fresh character) for it in either case, so I didn't want to burn myself out on the game.

As for whether it's worth it, I'm not expecting too much.  Just a few more pretties, a few more superficial things, maybe a few reskinned collision-type bosses that I won't really play against because I prefer building to fighting.  No real qualitative changes to the game, not much in the way of change from the debates earlier in the thread about how much actual good, worthwhile content was in 1.2 or 1.1. 
...
That said, crafting out of containers and paying from the bank (the merchant now takes debit cards?) sounds rather nice.  Ever since the former in particular was implemented in Cataclysm, I've missed it every time I play Terraria. 

[0x517A5D]

Is it even worth playing anymore? It's been a year or two since I've actually played this.

"It depends."

If it's been two years since you played, things have been added.  Some super-hardmode content: the two Moon invasions, a fish boss, and a whole bunch of stuff aimed at the artistic builder types.  Maybe you haven't seen the new biomes.  A bunch of new potions.  Fishing.  Overall, just added content and some streamlining.

If it's been one year, no, the game hasn't changed in that time.

So.  It comes down to: why did you play? 

[Sirus]

I haven't touched the fishing system, or the new invasions or bosses. I'm waiting for 1.3 so I can play through it all properly. Maybe I'll team up with a buddy.
