Kael's server is pretty much dormant now, but it'll probably erupt again when 1.0.6 comes out.
Speaking of 1.0.6, any new news on it? Or an estimated release date? Anything of the sort?

Man, Phantasy Star games... talk about grindy as all hell an enjoyable despite it. Actually, that goes for most FF games too. Just goes to show that a game doesn't need to be no-grind to be good (though I still think we can do better than random loot drops in Terrarria, to bring it allll the way around and back on topic)

On the plus side, though cosmetic item acquisition can be pretty arbitrary due to the drop/spawn rates, I was quite happy to find and slay Dr. Bones earlier today. It put a hugely satisfying cap on an extended run of rose harvesting. Say what you will about the downtime, the payoffs can be a very pleasant surprise. Now if only I had a second black lens...

[Urist Imiknorris]

I've found that the easiest way to get black lenses is to have a desire to blow up the corruption, just like the demolition dwarf says. Start by filling the chasms and connecting tunnel(s) with sand (goodbye desert or two), then grind money for dynamite. What's valuable and comes in large, easily harvested quantities? That's right, demonite. Grind the Eye of Cthulhu, and the huge number of demon eyes you'd need to kill to get all the lenses for 50 plat worth of loot would virtually guarantee you a black lens or five.

Looks like I revealed a little project of mine. I have a good reason though - I want to put a highway from my house to my jungle base at ground level, and cutting through the corruption would be kind of annoying, so I'm taking the route that will be even more annoying but incredibly satisfying: blowing it all to hell. Maybe I'll build a huge artificial meteor in the hole, and maybe I'll put just enough ebonstone in it that I can summon the Eater of Worlds in a chamber inside it.

Are all orbs smashed forever and no new ones happen?

[Nadaka]

Are all orbs smashed forever and no new ones happen?

you can get nnew orbs by creating a new world

[Trapezohedron]

Are all orbs smashed forever and no new ones happen?

To put it simply, yes. But you can always generate a new world to get more meteorites and vilethorns.

[Seriyu]

I'm pretty sure if you smash all the orbs, the game will spawn new meteors on it's own. Someone posted it earlier in the thread, from... source diving I think? Dunno for sure.

[breadbocks]

There's always a chance of random meteors.

But people wonder why I bitch about people smashing orbs all at once, and there ya go.

[Wolf Tengu]

Hmm.

Does lava damage things when it's falling? And can it be made infinate like water, if that still works?

[Trapezohedron]

Any news about the next update yet?

Does smashing additional orbs reset the roll for a meteor or does it summon a meteor if any of the rolls succeeded? The wiki claims a 50% chance, but 6 orbs later I've only had one meteor.

[PTTG??]

Any news about the next update yet?

The release date of patch 1.0.6 is currently unscheduled. The version was originally going to be called 1.1 as it was such a game changing update, but the idea was dismissed as the developers wanted 1.1 to be a more major game content update, similar to an MMO expansion.[1]

Hmm.

Does lava damage things when it's falling? And can it be made infinate like water, if that still works?

1. Yes.
2. Most likely, yes.
