I actually did it without an arena, in iron, ends up the trick is to play offensively. Don't really try to dodge him, just keep hammering on him

Out of everything I have EVER heard about Terraria... This has to be the most terrible thing I have ever heard about Terraria.

It truely breaks a game when you realise that strategy is pointless.

Terraria is horrible... It truely is. Is terraria Bad? Who knows... but Wow... that is just a game destroying statement.

[Flying Dice]

Oh yes, I know. 


But yeah, that was what I was getting at: there isn't really much to do but grind to the endgame*, and once you're there...


*Unless you're the unknown terrorist of Kael's server. 

You still remember that? The one where we spent hours just trying to disarm and figure out where the guy was stashing his stuff?

I still remember falling into some of the potholes.
And then there was that one time I gathered everyone together to blow up an ebonstone chasm. I used all of the dynamite in existance to get that thing rigged.

And my giant, golden dongtower.

You know that old phrase, "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all"? Yeah.

The Eater of Worlds is probably the easiest boss in the game, and the proper weapons will annihilate it. Try fighting Skeletron or the hard mode bosses without strategy.

[Trapezohedron]

Well, for one, you can't just smash the wrong hardmode eye boss, lest you risk playing around in greater, hotter fire.

[Seriyu]

Yeah, you really can't do that with any of the other bosses, because the hardmode bosses and skeletron will SHRED you, and EoC is always out of melee range, so heavy damage is kind've hard to pull off at the time you're fighting him. Eater of worlds is the only one you can do that with. Because if you try to dodge him he can and will outlast you because he has 150 hp times.... I think it's like 50 or something? That's a ton of HP to eat through if you're not just going nuts on him.

He's designed to be torn apart as opposed to outlasted and I feel that's acceptable and a nice little feint. One of my favorite bosses in the game in fact.

[UristMcDwarf]

Is there no bay12 server?

[SirAaronIII]

PM forsaken1111 about it. There WAS one before that, but life happened to the owner.

Generally speaking I apply that only to manners. A lot of people take waaaay too much offense to someone saying bad things about something they even mildly like.

What I especially hate about that is how much community hype can even work on me. I've bought things I regretted simply because the community involved super love it and drown out any dissent.

Though my issue right now is people are really starting to harp on the fact that generally speaking I seldom give out compliments unless asked but I'll readily voice up anything I dislike. To the point where the current trend people are taking is now just to assume I hate it (Terraria I am still unsure of, I think the major barrier is that I really don't have any strong online play so far. Some games can be saved purely from playing online with good friends). >_<

I don't think I could enjoy Terraria single player.  The only times I played it by myself were to do things for the sake of playing with others later.

[SirAaronIII]

I play one round of singleplayer, then I mess around online. Then I try to play another round singleplayer but it's really boring and usually I stop after Shadow armor. Then my friends and I try to play fresh starts together but we can never beat the Eye because one person has to go and everyone else logs out because we don't want to rush ahead of the missing person and then we never go on again.

_{yes I am still upset about forsaken's fresh start server
although it was also because someone decided to use my mine and take all the ores when I was sleeping, without permission, and leaving none for the owner of the mine aka me}

Yeah the vast majority of my play time has been single player... and the only time I gone into multiplayer games no one there wanted to do anything (it was like playing single player... with other people around).

[Twiggie]

we should do some structured pvp. have people bring whatever items they want, divide everyone into two teams, give each team a half hour to build their base, and just fight. have the target as some hellstone blocks placed by the admin or something, and whoever destroys the other team's first wins.

or use a ctf mod

[Haspen]

I just started a new singleplayer character. I made him look like a dark elf xD

Maybe I will make him a mage living in a tower. Or ninja.

Magic ninja!

[Rex_Nex]

Getting started is annoyingly slow in SP.

[Seriyu]

Yes it is, but I've always liked it irregardless. Then again I've always been an enormous fan of platformers, so that may have something to do with it. I can certainly understand why people don't like singleplayer though. I've always liked single player minecraft too, so I'm clearly the odd man out. 

With terraria at least, it gets a bit better once you get past the horrid early mining stage where you're just kinda sleepwalking through all the easy mobs and grinding up enough iron to get shadow plate.
