Can anyone playing a hardmode 1.2-genned world tell me if hallow/corruption still spread/spread through snow? I'd like to build a firebreak before ruining my world, this time, if I need to.

I'm coming to understand that the "over 400 new items" has turned out to be remodeled and differently colored stuff. At least tell me that there are completely original new bosses.

Yes, it has suffered from Mincraft-ism. Lots of recolors. There are some neat things like spiders, but otherwise it's "you get lead or iron in your world and they're identical except for color. So far the new NPC's are worthless. I don't want a bubble machine or dye. Lategame stuff is different, I guess?

Quick question, would it be ok to start hard mode on the second server? That way the main is safeish for new players and the ones who want hard mode can have it.
I keep tryi g to type hardcore mode instead of hard mode...

Chances no.

I wasn't joking when I said "No one wants to play", it is pretty endemic of the online terraria experience when it comes to servers.

No idea what you're talking about. My last server was hardmode from like day 2 on. This one will be tonight.

[Seriyu]

As someone that has soloed the hardmode bosses I can assure you it's possible but it's pretty much always gonna be a bizzare experience no matter how you slice it. Unfortunately I did it a while back and I can only remember the giant mechanical worm dude. Biggest hint - Get the cross accessory and Philosopher's stone and if you ever get hit, get hit by the droids. THey do so much less damage. Like... worm coming for you?

Dive into the droids. You will take like five damage and be invincible about long enough for the worm to pass. Repeat. As far as I know this is the only way to beat him solo, because his body will just destroy you. I vaguely remember just constantly moving forward at an incredible speed and shooting behind me for both mecha skeletron and the twins but that's about all I recall.

It is much easier, and much more enjoyable with more dudes. But it can be done solo!

In other news I quite enjoy the brain of cthulu boss fight.

The ores are not identical. Some things can only be made with one or the other, and stats on items differ based on which ore is used. Copper tools have reduced range compared to tin, Tungsten is on par with Gold despite being a replacement of Silver, Lead can be made into doors when Iron cannot, et cetera. The differences are fairly small, in the grand scheme of things, but they are there.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Another question, any way to change hair colour/style after making a character?

Or any other aspects of your starting appearance, for that matter?

Not as far as I know. But characters are disposable, only thing that matters is the health/mana level. So if you haven't upgraded the character himself too much, just store everything in a chest on your world and start a new character.

Even then you can just collect hearts and stars, they aren't particularly rare and you can keep spares forever.

Given how the server suddenly went upon entering hardmode (in fact, pre-hardmode, come to think of it), I'm out.

The only thing that happened is that I said I was going to play singleplayer, then you said you couldn't be bothered with the server any more. So I guess... bye?

[forsaken1111]

No, what happened was endgame stuff appearing on players. Multiple players. Light discs, armours, pixie thingies and the like.

I LIKE it when people have the same progression. Once I drop behind because people took stuff from their single player worlds, leaving me behind, them mining most of the stuff before I can because I lack the ability and such... no. It just gets boring. If I cannot get anywhere at a decent pace due to resource scarcity, I get bored.

That has been happening because everyone ignored the posted request of making new characters, and I got tired of being server police.

[umiman]

I share his sentiment too though I'm not particularly vested in the world. I treat the server more like a hub world where you can meet people and see interesting construction ideas.

I would never use it as a home base simply because it's so full of spoilers and it's completely looted. There's nothing there.

I'm coming to understand that the "over 400 new items" has turned out to be remodeled and differently colored stuff. At least tell me that there are completely original new bosses.

Dunno. I found a snowball cannon, a sword that shoots swords, an umbrella that slows falling speed and ice skates that give a speed bonus on ice and make it so you can jump on ice without breaking it. And then promptly lost everything because I insist on playing in Hardcore mode.

Also there's a machine that takes silt and turns it into random ore and gems.

Most of the stuff was ALREADY recolours. Like the dozen different kinds of brick? Functionally identical. The new update adds a couple more types of brick, and they're exactly the same as all the previous bricks were, and tucked between the recoloured bricks are a few novel things like ice skates and climbing claws. I'm not sure what you were expecting, but I think it's pretty cool. Also, all the different zombie sprites and ground clutter things look pretty.

[Flying Dice]

Fireworks and confetti guns.

I'm not blaming you- I'd have probably gotten fed up (although mine would have probably involved a lot of angry caps)

It's just that the server now... bleugh. I may come back to retrieve my stuff and start in single player.

I honestly don't recall seeing anyone mention that as a server rule in this thread (and I even asked about it). For my part, I don't have an issue with going back to lower tier gear for PVP and doing stuff together if people want me to (and if others will), but I have to ask why we shouldn't be able to bring high-end gear in to make construction less of a pain in the ass?

Leaving aside that I've already gone through the progression twice in SP and several times for different MP servers; it has lost most of the attraction for me, because there's no real exploration element like there is in Minecraft, just more repetitious grind. It's not even a challenge once you've done it the first time, just tedium... maybe it'll be different with Starbound.

[forsaken1111]

Its all good guys, just play on the server and have fun.
