But... but... the large world is already so... GODDAMNED HUUUUGE. I used that map viewer thing, and I got my mind blow away at the sheer insignificance of everything I did on the world. Even with 40 players, if they dont all just stick on the surface of course, there is more than enough space for them to never even find each other in the dark cave networks. I don't really see the need for a massive world...

I wouldn't be so certain of any of that, really. :P

I promised myself I wouldn't buy this, I really can't afford to spare even a few quid til the end of the month.

Then I thought "Fuck it, this is awesome!"

E: Is there a Bay12 server or anything yet?

Ugh. I don't like steam; takes 10-15 minutes for me to log in. Shouldn't log ins take seconds?
No, it shouldn't take 10-15 minutes, mabey if your internet is broken or something sure, but otherwise no it shouldnt.

According to the wiki they have to be on the second underground layer or something like that

That is what I had to do.  I plan to line the wall with mud straight up though to see exactly where it stops growing.

Do people really give these beggers the game? It's a bit pathetic..

Edit: Oh and that world view is great, dunno if it takes the exploration out of the game a bit mind.

Yes, some people do actually give poor people games that they don't have the money to buy right now.

I fear you may have mistaken the word silly for glorious.

I can see in a raffle, but just posting "Gimme gaym pl0x" is not nearly the effort that should be given for a game. Besides, you can find 10 dollars on the ground. If you are homeless, you don't have a computer. If you have both a computer and can afford internet, you are not even poor in the first place.

I am doing the dumbest thing I've ever done - I'm taking on the underground jungle with eight hearts and a mix of copper/silver equipment.

EDIT: Do man eaters drop anything if you kill them by destroying the block they're on?

I'm a student. If you really want a game then you can find the money to buy it. Begging in a game thread is not the way to get a game. It's just pathetic.

Nope. I tried it several times and I didn't even get money.

So I've decided there are two ways to play Terraria: The fun way and every other way.

The fun way involves no cheating and absolutely no cross-world twinking.

Pretty much ever other way is the other way.

Because what really defines fun in this game is the challenge. The exploration is fun, but it's only fun because of what you seek.

People that I started playing Terraria with are liking the game more than people who have come in after release and just had grappling hooks, armor, weapons and full developed worlds thrown at them. They're still having fun. But not quite as much.

So yeah. Once me and my friends max out our current characters, the only way I'll be playing Terraria is in PvP, with fresh characters or to check on updates. Going to a new world with a maxed out character to be maxed out just isn't the same level of fun as slowly clawing your way up the item scale, and dealing with all the world's challenges without the best stuff in the game.

It kind of makes me pine for a Terraria that is more rogue-like. Maybe I'll start playing the iron man games. I don't say all this out of whininess or bitterness about something; I just don't want the awesome to end, and I can feel it steadily creeping up in our game, as I stockpile our 15th hook thinking "who is ever going to use this? And who would I honestly want to deprive of the fun of going down to get their own hook?"

Even without a leveling system, there is just something so amazingly well done about progression. Maybe it's the fact you start with absolutely nothing and crap gear, that every find is like your birthday.

I'm hoping that someone mods in Terraria that is built for 40 to 50 hours of play time instead of the ~20 it is now. The game is still epically long for its scope, but I wouldn't mind stretching out a single character play through over a couple months of solid gaming.

By the looks of it, it needs to be harsher. Items drop less often, the games needs to be generally less forgiving.

Sky Temple's done!



It's going to be made of glass blocks and silver brick walls primarily, with the orange tiles being Meteorite blocks, and the whole thing's going to be built into the center of a flying island.  :D
