I haven't been to hell or the dungeon yet, so I don't know what's new with those, but I think the potion sickness thing is a bit silly. I mean, GOLDFISH give you potion sickness?
I would have been fine if this update had just the furniture.

At this point, you hardly even need potions. I was wandering around the dungeon and hell, supposedly difficult environments, for close to two hours, and I used a total of 3 health potions.


Other notes: Hell jars now drop normal health potions, hellfire arrows and some of the better buff potions.

Also, you can apparently now only equip one of any given equipment. I.e. you can't have 3 feral claws or 4 rings of starpower or whatever.

This does not make it more difficult or more, I don't know, "puzzle-y", just more boring and grindy.

Dungeons usually are grindy.

Has anyone found out if you can craft that wooden statue that was in the preview pictures? I got the stone one but no wooden one.

Not yet, I think.

Also, it seems you can't put blocks into lava anymore. So that means no more caissons through magma during hellevators. It's fine for water, though.

[Micro102]

Well with the nerfing of potions you really NEED all the bosses to be easier.

Yeah, but there is a difference between good grind and bad grind. Torchlight is an example of the former, while the Terraria dungeons as they stand look like the latter, because literally all you do is find a spot without (m)any spike balls or flaming wheels, sit in a corner and mash M1 until you have a decent sized stack of golden keys, and then you go around speedlooting all of the chests like normal. So basically they took the old dungeon formula and added half an hour or so of pointless sitting around doing nothing, which I suppose is one way of increasing the length of the typical world...

I don't know, I guess from the description I was expecting something a bit more inspired than "farm monsters" as the solution to locked chests, although given how often that is the solution for problems, I probably shouldn't be surprised.

Miniboss fights in certain rooms in order to obtain keys would make it over nine thousand times less grindy IMO.

This + some sort of simple puzzles (even stuff like the pull-the-levers-in-the-right-order game) would have been much better, in terms of increasing replayability and depth.

[SirAaronIII]

Yeah, I think puzzles would be good. We should totally take this to the Suggestions forum!

Spoiler: Some Puzzle Ideas (click to show/hide)

These might be a bit tedious. Open to changes!
1. Push the statue into the right place (marked by a different color brick)
2. Something like that room full of keys in the first Harry Potter book, you have to spot the gold one among the silver ones
3. There will be a simple figure and you have to build another one that is exactly the same.

Oh, and here's another idea. How about a Wizard NPC?

Spoiler: Even More Ideas (click to show/hide)

Requirements: Raise your mana (like nurse)
Function: He could send you on quest, things like "Get me 5 books from the dungeon" or "Kill 10 blue slimes". He will reward you with money or maybe even by adding a spell to the shop/just plain giving the spell to you. He could also have a magic shop (see below for details).
He also requests you add stuff to his room once in a while, ranging from one of those skull candle things to a cooking pot to a toilet (he does stop, because it would be annoying if he just kept demanding things all noble-like).

Store: He sells the herb seeds, and possibly a few weak spells (see next spoiler). Also sells a wizard hat for an exorbitant price. Also, he should be able to sell different things during different events or phases of the moon (maybe not moon phases?).

Other effects: In the event of a goblin invasion or if he is hit/attacked by monster(s), he will cast spells to protect himself. He should also have his own mana pool that doesn't regenerate until the invasion ends, so that players can't just rely on him to repel attacks.

Spoiler: Wizard Store Spell Ideas (click to show/hide)

1. "Fireball": Acts and is weaker like Water Bolt, minus the ricochet and with a ball of fire similar to Flamelash and Flower of Fire.

2. "Starfall": Drops a star where you click; like Starfury but weak.

3. "Ice Shard": Exactly what it says. A shard of ice. Has a chance of causing the frozen status effect, which slows the enemy down by a percentage.

4. "Thorn Ring": Shoots Vilethorns around you in a clockwise circle (not all at the same time). Similar going-through-walls effect and damage, but higher mana cost. One of his more expensive spells.

5. "Spark": Summons a controllable missile like Magic Missile and Flamelash, except weaker.

The game really is crying out for more mini-boss action. There needs to be a nice big room at the bottom of a dungeon where most of the chests are kept, and guarded by a nice mini-boss that drops several keys when killed. Then they could go back and add a mini-boss for each biome somewhere in the world.

Only played for about 30 mins yesterday, but I got the impression that by and large, the game is a little easier. What forced you to use all your pots in 1.05 was needing to top yourself off every 2 to 3 minutes because of attrition. Now, with health regening 1hp/sec, if you're doing ANYTHING non-exploration related, your HPs regen by the time the mobs find you.

[Shadowlord]

That's why I always ran around with multiple bands of regeneration. Which you can't do anymore, but then you automatically regenerate health now, so...

I haven't tried the new version yet personally. They suggest starting over, and I kind of want to wait for 1.1 and hope for alien worlds first.

I made a new character yesterday, Omga Silkthread

And that's her little cozy keep. Bottom left is brewery (obviously!), and bottom right is entrance to the mines, where I dig for clay, rocks and occasional ore.

Given that 1.1 will be huge update and surely not gonna happen in August, she might become a wealthy castle-keeper in few days
