I'm pretty sure they said they liked the idea of the water rod turning lava into obsidian, dunno if they forgot or not. At any rate, the increased range is definatly a buff.

The only problem I really have with the new patch is the dungeon keys thing, admittantly I haven't gotten there yet but it basically sounds like grinding for keys, and even if not, then there's not really any difference because you could open all the chests anyway.

[Wolf Tengu]

Yeah, but what if the magma guy aimed higher by...accident.

I don't like their map format. Whatever it is must be updated all at once, so the crashes that have started randomly occuring to me (either because I started a large world this time, the update, or both) have been really annoying. I wish they used a format instead that would frequently record data to a secondary file,  enough to recreate recent changes, and only periodically convert that to a full-save (which is preceded by a backup). That way, you would never lose more than a few minutes of work...

(That kind of functionality has existed in computers for a long time, sort of, in the form of journaling filesystems, which write all changes to a seperate log before actually changing files, so that if the system halts mid-write, the files aren't corrupted. Combine that with batching the actual write, and it may be a rather decent game save system...)

Man, the jungle is VICIOUS now. Went back after gathering more hearts so I had a total of 300 and I kept dying. So what do after EoW and Shadow Armor?

Keys stack nicely. Had a stack of 4 at one time, so I presume the max is at least 20.

The max on keys is 99.

Not that you'll ever have a need to have or even find that many, but...

Did I mention there's a second type of key, to match a second type of locked chest, that doesn't stack?
Oh, yeah, there's that.
Though it doesn't mysteriously break when you open a lock with it, so there's that too.

I re-did meteor mining and dungeon run two times faster than before the crash. Fuck yeah

Also had an abundance of dungeon slimes - enough to net me a supply of keys for floating islands. The game is up to something I'm also opening a shop!

Spoiler: Haspen's Various Stuff Shop! (click to show/hide)

All items are legit and acquired by spelunking/raiding.

SELLING:
Magic Missile x2 = 5 gold each
Blue Moon x2 = 5 gold each
Handgun = 5 gold
Black Lens x2 = 1 gold for a pair
Shadow Key = 25 gold
Cobalt Shield = 10 gold
Muramasa = 10 gold
Vilethorn = 5 gold

BUYING:
50 bars of silver
50 bars of gold
Rubies/Emeralds (red/azure gems)
Any hints about where to find jungle spores and how to harvest them properly

Contact me here through PM's or on Steam (Silkthread). I'm willing to deliver stuff to your server or we can meet on Kael's server as soon as it will be running

Soon I will raid all those floating islands and jungle, thus the amount of items will get larger

Also, imho, the places-to-visit list have changed. Now it's: Basics -> Demonite stuff -> Meteor stuff -> Dungeon -> Jungle -> Underworld.

Mainly cuz jungle is wtf hornets with stingers nightmare. And hellstone mining will be a pain.

This Terrarria, it sounds like a side-scrolling Minecraft.  Is it really worth getting even if you already have Minecraft?

Terraria has 50 times more stuff than Minecraft.

Also, it's prettier And cheapier~

[SirAaronIII]

I'd say it's about even with Minecraft. Minecraft is more of a building with a dash of survival/exploration, while Terraria is survival/exploration with a dash of building.

So they're two sides of the same coin?

[SirAaronIII]

Something like that,  yeah. It's 1 in the morning here and my tired old brain can't think of any cool metaphors.

Call it Minecraftslevania?

[GlyphGryph]

I dunno, some of the new minecraft stuff is pretty freaking impressive. You can build turrets, bake cakes, set up computers and elaborate traps and actually build a building that reconfigures itself in response to stimuli.


Terraria has a bit more going with different biomes and some bosses, but it doesn't really add up to the same thing.

Now, Terraria could be said to be better than minecraft at the same point in the development cycle at least. And its obviously got a slightly different focus.

Okay, I finally killed Skeletron and went into the dungeon. I actually kind of like the keys thing, if they weren't so rare. I think the regular skeleton monsters in the dungeon should have a chance to drop keys too.

EDIT: Looks like Cursed Skulls and Dark Casters already do. Anyone know if Angry Bones + variants drop them? Also, I really like the new water bolt noise.

I know I've gotten a key off of the large variant of Angry Bones but I haven't noticed any dropping from lesser variants.
