terraria bread
Absolute trashWhen players have to use a Wiki to learn what to do, you have failed as a game designer
>>727688032If you develop something that is able to run and be played on a Macintosh II with no internet access, it is a well-designed productIf you disregard that limitation in order to add features that couldn't be otherwise, that too results in a good product (this is what Terraria does)If you disregard that limitation because you're simply not skilled enough to comply with it, your product is awful (this is what most modern games do)
>>727688032I finished the game without using a wiki
I remember pre-mini-map digging in zig zags and marking with torches
>>727688032I consider the wiki an extension of the game.And it was a test of my own willpower to spoil the game or not.
pure boss fight kino
>>727687284Too grindy for a non-RPG game. Left it at the Wall of Flesh.
>>727688991souls of night and light?use battle potions and water candles
don't make threads about the game until the patch is released
>>727689073>managing buffs and debuffsNah thanks. One day I might consider playing it again with (imaginary) friends.
>>727689272fuck you mean managing you get INFINITE of the potion buff at 30
>>727688991sounds like a skill issue. The mechanical bosses can easily be beaten with prehard mode weapons and the grind for souls is hardly a grind. I assume the grind you're talking about is for the hardmode gear and not souls because if it is souls then its an ADHD issue
how come we never got terraria 2?
What went wrong?
>>727689594shit bosses and bad weapon balance where there's always at least 3 or 4 unusably shit weapons for the tier for example you keep using the brittle star summon for a couple more bosses after scorge because every other one sucks at that stage of the game
>>727688887nice doublesI do love the micro progression of collecting all the related items to make the soul, and then finally having all the souls for the next soul, then having to do it all again multiple times.i've never finished it
>start a singleplayer world>grind the hell out of it, even add anti crimson measures>make a planetoid in pre-hm>get to hard mode>interest drops off nearly instantly and I haven't played in monthsfml

I cant get past the skeleton boss and I swore I woulnt spoil anything to myself. Am I doomed?
>>727690501Are you playing on expert mode? Expert mode skeletron is pretty hard
>>727690501Boomerangs are not too hard to get/upgrade and works well on it iirc
>>727690501I usually just collect all the expendable throwing weapons from pots when exploring the overworld and underground and unload those on him. Make sure you build an arena over the dungeon entrance to fight him. Doesn't have to be elaborate, just a straight platform of any block so you can run back and forth avoiding his shit. Bring potions. Place down items that boost how fast you regen health, there are at least a couple you should have access to
>>727689961I like making them too its just a lot of the effects are not worth putting on when you could just have a damage or movement accessory instead if you could combine them sooner (like you can fuse the copper and tin ones with demonize bars or some shit) I would be more inclined to make emcobalt + meteorite is a pretty awesome combo though
>>727690501Spoilers: movement options. he's hard without mobility but has a pattern
>>727689594idk i think its pretty goodYou could axe the entire Abyss and not lose anything. Same with that weird water area underneath the desert.Theres too many new areas in general.But the bosses are fun.
Friend and I are in a getfixedboi seed and I can tell he's getting burnt out already.
>>727690763Think so, might need to change that.>>727690805>>727690863>>727690904Thanks for the advice.
Did they release the new patch?
I'll never understand the people who use the wiki. Half the fun of the game is figuring shit out yourself. You should NEVER need anything more than what the Guide tells you
>>727693567I'd like to see somebody make a house. The directions are vague
WHERE IS MY UPDATE RED YOU HACK? I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR 3 YEARS FOR THAT SHIT, STOP ADDING STUPID FURNITURE NO ONE CARES ABOUT AND ADD SOME REAL GAMEPLAY.
>>727687284This game has a problem of wiping my saves whenever I try coming back to it.
>>727693793idk seems pretty self-explanatory
>>727693818Too late. It's just bloat. You'll get another crossover with ugly and annoying items if you're lucky :)
>>727693818>ADD SOME REAL GAMEPLAY.they added fishingthey added golfif they add gambling it'll basically be a retirement simulator
>>727693818This guy speedruns The Sims
>>727688032>muh wikiThis is the single worst complain someone can make and always exposes them as being drooling idiots.
I hate it when I get run over by a tank in that game.
The game should either remove rod of discord or add another way of obtaining it. Locking such an overpowered and versatile item behind a 0,1% drop rate is absolute cancer.

How big is the difference between Expert and Master mode in terms of difficulty? Just finished Master mode mage, thinking of expert mode mage
content reset when
>>727700894 meaning you want them to make a new game with the same mechanics?
>>727687284what mods should i run? i've never played modded so i have no frame of reference on whats good/shit
played it enough times i use mods and cheat menu now. paste in prebuilt towns i've saved, arenas, it's just fun to fight the bosses with one armor set, accessories, weapon in mind
>>727701067yeah, it's far too bloated at the moment and at the same time i feel like i've experienced everything, every time i start a new game it's the same things over and over, and even calamity doesn't feel fresh enough.i love terraria, but it needs a new start. completely the same base game but with all different weapons, blocks, enemies, and bosses
>>727701091Mandatory: Auto-TrashOnce you figure out what you will never ever need (a lot of mod content adds that) there is a secondary trash can icon. You have to enable it with a tiny pixel next to the icon, drag the item into it, then whenever you loot that item it doesn't clog your inventory.-not mandatoryfishing guide gives quest every time a fish is turned in. the 24 minute wait period was ridiculous
>>727701436Oh and if it's still around, that auto-ore digger where you hit one and the rest are mined automatically. Makes runs less tediousyou can white list and black list what blocks you automine, to fuck around
>>727701407Wouldn't some kind of a randomizer be better? There's no way they're going to capture the lightning in the bottle twice, Terraria 2 made by modern devs is impossible.
>>727687284>feel like doing another playthrough>remember you still have to mine out half of hell in a straight line because that's the only way still to beat wall of flesh>lose all interest
>>727701789a randomizer would still use the same pool of items, i just want new content while not seeing the 15 year old shit.they don't need to, the base game is already there. they just need to start with the basics and add new content like they have in previous patches
For some reason it really grinds my gears that games like Minecraft and Terraria allows you to dig to the center of the Earth with a basic pickaxe instead of introducing layers of harder rocks that force you pause your digging, look for ore, upgrade your pick axe, and then resume digging. How is that not the default way to design these things? There is nothing fun about digging straight down for diamonds in minecraft or digging straight down to create an hellevator in terraria, it is peak uninspiring game design, but there really is no way around it, it IS a core gameplay feature. Somehow.
>>727702765sounds like what you're after is vintage story, it even has cave-ins if you don't use enough beams to support your mineshaft
>>727702765requiring greater pickaxe power the deeper you go seems like a 5 minute mod
medium > large
>>727703014dude it's like 5mb of storage space
>>727703078sure but its also like an hour of you life spent backtracking over the lifespan of a world
>>727703184pylon at the centerocean pylon on one sideartificial desert pylon near the other oceansnow and jungle at 1/4 and 3/4 of the world
>>727703319>artificial desert pylon near the other oceanThere's literally an item that ports you to ocean
>>727703319or i could just pick a worldsize that isnt tedious?
>>727702765I think that's a good thing. Even with a small pickaxe you have some power. But it's slow as heck and next tiers of pickaxe are easily obtainable. They probably should have made deeper layers harder to mine by adding more difficult to mine blocks.
>>727703469That's the least tedious thing in this game.
>>727699090Is that a mod? >>727699109It's the RNG fault, not mine>>727698815>consider prioritizing fun over meta and optimizationsAhem Vampire Knives + Stardust Dragon Staff

>>727702145 Honestly, clearing that straight shot through hell is like the Terraria version of cleaning your room before you can relax. You know it’s coming, you dread it, but the moment it’s done you ride that Wall of Flesh train straight into progression dopamine. Pro tip: set up a lava trap or minecart rail while you're at it, saves you grief later when you’re dodging hungry projectiles and lasers. Or, y'know, slap on Fargo’s mod and cheese it like a true wizard.
fuck
>>727689594Excessive faggotry and unregulated perfectionism, which is why we STILL won't see Yharim, the main antagonist and poster boy of the mod, actually make an appearance until 2030 at the earliest.
>>727699090>>727704831holy shit finally, took em long enoughless and less of a wiki game with each update
>>727689594It is literally just a boss rush. Vanilla Terraria goes like this:>Spawn>Find ores and go spelunking for loot>Build some houses for NPCs>Fight your first couple bosses>Explore the harder Corruption/Crimson biome and kill its boss>Take care of some side events and side bosses>Go to the Dungeon and kill that super hard boss from earlier>Explore the Dungeon and its loot>Go to Hell and explore it while building a massive arena to fight the final boss>Oops the final boss is actually the halfway point>Explore the new Hallow biome and get new ores and loot>Fight each mechanical boss one by one, upgrading your gear each time>Explore the new Jungle and find the new ore and loot there>Kill Plantera>Take care of more side events and bosses>Explore that massive temple>Kill Golem>Explore the new Dungeon and get more loot>Kill last few side bosses>Kill the Lunatic Cultist and set off the final chain of events>Kill the Moon Lord and beat the game>And this is ignoring NPCs, potion crafting and Angler quests as well as accessory combining like Ankh ShieldCalamity on the other hand is just an uninterrupted loop of>Kill boss>Mine new ore and zerg potion farm for new materials to craft new summon item>Kill bossRepeat ad infinitum
>>727707442You forgot on Calamity's side>have to arbitrarily revisit old biomes and events that have nothing new whatsoever because beating the shitdick boss makes the mobs (that now have inflated stats) drop cum particles which are mandatory for endgame crafting
Haven't played vanilla Terraria since 1.4 dropped. I played Calamity for the first time last year. What other mods should I try? I hear Infernum is like Calamity with good bosses, but it just sounds like the same as Calamity but with different bosses. Wrath of the Gods looks really cool but its post-SCal meaning I have to play Calamity again. I hear good things about Fargo's Souls and Thorium.
>>727707569I included that in the 'zerg potion farm' part of the Calamity Loop. There is barely anything new here and even a bunch of the 'good' bosses like Yharon just reuse attack patterns from bosses like Duke Fishron.
>>727702765Its funny because Minecraft literally did this with the Deepslate update yet they still let you mine deepslate with a wooden pickaxe. So it's just mining slightly cooler looking cobblestone for longer to de-incentivize strip mining.
>>727707442>Get to Hardmode>Get new gear>Kill 3 bosses>get ore>kill 2 bosses>kill boss + event thats impossible to lose to + final bossthats literally all for vanilla and don't act like its anything elseYou can easily kill Plantera with the shit thats dropped from the mechs and vanilla Golem is always easyLiterally the only thing between your first mech and Moon Lord is fighting bosses with minimal anything elseIf anything Calamity does it better by giving you multiple upgrades with each tier of bosses
Can't drink from zoologist's milkers
>>727709102This is why prehardmode > hardmode. By the time you kill the wall of flesh you already know where everything is and the exploration is effectively over. It is also why post-moonlord content is a meme because it takes that issue and exacerbates it. There is literally nothing left to do but fight bosses.
>>727687284I started a modded playthrough months ago and haven't found the motivation to kill Wall of Flesh.
>>727710371that's really easy though, did you at least mine out your hellstone?
>>727697958If you cared that much you'd just cheat it in
>>727690501He's literally impossible. What were they thinking?
>>727687284this game is boring, when do you get the apache?
>>727707438>took em long enoughthat shit has been in the game for like 7 years pal

I've been playing terraria for 11 years at this point. Sucks that 1.4.5 will be trooned out.
>>727690501>>727710605build an arena and he's ez, what are you doing
>>727687284Last playthrough for me was a few months ago. Did the final finalâ„¢ update come out yet?
>>727712896Not out yet but later this month or next month

>>727711409a searchable crafting menu? no? it's always been the long scrolling one
>>727694460Do you use onedrive or something? The game saves to the documents folder and i bet that has something to do with it.
>>727716027>it's always been the long scrolling oneyou do realize there's a button to switch to grid view, right?
>>727716237yeah but there's no search/filter
>>727688032TRVKE
>>727712447Funny thing about the arenas I always hear from noobs is that it's "cheating". Imagine thinking building in the building game is cheating lmao. Only responding to you because maybe someone who needed to be laughed at will see it and change their ways.
>>727712441listen, kohai, all terraria updates are, are 2 minutes of feel good and then you're playing again.
>>727688532hu da fuk r u
>>727712896yea like 10 years agoWe're at the final final final final final final final (final?) update at this point
Terraria is legitimately the only open world/sandbox game that I can stomach in this industry.>no forced tutorials>no obnoxious retarded NPCs you have to babysit, infact you can just kill them all yourself if you want>multiple difficulty modes>no MTX and season passes locking content behind paywallsIt's hard to play much else with this setting the standard.
>>727716331i don't recall a search bar but you absolutely could drag a resource onto the search box and it would show you all the items relevant to that
>>727688032Leave it to /v/ drones to spam the same horrible "opinions" over and over again.
>>727709102Except there are several new events and new areas that actually have meaningful changes. What the fuck is the point of the Astral biome outside of a cool backdrop to fight Astrum Deus and Aureus in? The Hallow has actual necessary and important loot as well as Souls of Light which are an integral crafting mechanism. You will hear zero disagreement from me that Hardmode is weaker than Pre-Hardmode in terms of new content, but Calamity is downright lazy. It has one new event iirc and it just 'levels up' the more bosses you kill. Imagine if Hardmode just had the Pirate Invasion and it just levelled up throughout Hardmode.
>>727721438At least Calamity has good music.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GcPA3C0QeI&list=RD5GcPA3C0QeI&start_radio=1
>>727702145>>727706985Just drain an ocean into hell you stupid fucks it takes maybe 50~100 sticky bombs and 2 water breathing potions
>>727721818Not anymore because the guy who makes the music stopped making Calamity stuff ages ago
>>727720128if you knew you should use it, sure
>>727710196>post-moonlord content is a memeAnother dimension a la the nether/end dimension unironically solves this issue.
>>727722832And then your hell lake gets cuckolded by a big pile of ash jutting out of the lava
>>727698126>>Same build every time>Minecraft is betterMinecraft only has one build.
>>727721818It's so good in fact that I have a theory that it's the only reason why Calamity got popular in the first place.Because it is kinda shit otherwise.
>>727688032wiki isn't necessary ever since they added bestiary that says what enemies drop
>>727690501I hate to break it to you anon, but it sounds like you are boned

Bump
>>727688532Can the game really be finished? There are no credits or anything, is there?
>>727727438Since 1.4, credits now play after you defeat the Moon Lord.
>>727689594>Debuffs summons when holding non-summon weapon>Nerfs the dedicated summon weapons
>>727723213well after being in the game for literally 13 years by now i would assume you might get that information by accidentally talking to the guide. if the new information is so far between the base game, why not play the tutorial that is designed to teach you features like that?
>>727727763Moon Lord? Wtf is that? I got about 10 hours after the wall of flesh and quit.
Doing an Infernum + Calamity Overhaul playthrough with a friend of mine. Multiplayer is really jank but we're having fun. Just beat the moon lord, can't wait to see how much cock and ball torture the later bosses are going to be
>>727693818he spent three years trying to give everyone a penis and hide it to get it past gabe.
also i solved to ore problem,alloys, you need differently ores to craft different alloys that have different properties, making stuff like copper still important at any point of the game. so some will buff mage others def better, ect.
>>727728613i meant know if you should try checking the item, it's so tedious going to the guide every time you find a new thing considering there's so much shit you never use
>>727688032>Absolute trashIt needs better controller support. It's kinda embarrassing to see developers in this modern day and age not developing their games with proper controller support first and foremost.
>>727688032terraria is funny because without the wiki, the players would just get 15% into the game and assume they've done everything
>>727731795I don't know if it's possible to make this game play well with a controller.
>>727731795It's a fucking 2D building block game, the controls are about as good as they possibly can be for all the shit you have to be able to do. If anything it's the console versions that need KBM support.
>>727728821I had to take a break from Infernal Eclipse of Ragnarok at Profaned Guardians. I was getting tired of poor man's Touhou combined with getting two or three shot. Some of the reworked bosses were great (Subspace Serpent hit that sweet spot between bullshit and genius, Infernum's Calamitas Clone rework is pretty good, Golem is also much more fun) and some of them were dogshit (Orcus, Leviathan still blows, Bereft Vessel has a lot of the same problems as Leviathan).If the damage was just a touch lower I think it'd be a bit more palatable for me, but eh.
>>727696695It's valid if you're doing shit like modpacks for Minecraft because retards don't know how to format or update wikis.>mekanism wiki
>>727688032>talk to guide npc>"hey try this">try it and progress???
>>727687284Is this a god time to play calamity mod? I wanted to play this again some time ago, but saw that a new big update was coming to the main game, so I wanted to wait a little more to play the new main content + clamity
>>727687284any cool total conversion mods?i played calamity, is thorium good?
>>727731795it just needs to lift the controller support from the 360 version of the game. i don't know why, but every other version of the game controls like shit. the 360 version plays like super smash tv or binding of isaac while everything else is some emulated mouse jank. what the fuck?
>>727732612A few years ago I was able to beat all bosses because my pc was so utterly shit lmao. The game slows down if your pc can't handle the game, so I basically just dodged all the bosses
>>727688032I played terraria since release and there was no wiki at the start, still beat it by just playing the game. You are retarded
I want more summoning weapons, I think that's an underutilized mechanic in the game.
>>727740870summoning could be so good if it had actual weapons instead of being "sit your ass while game plays itself class"why can't you summon things other than invincible DPS machines? maybe summon actual creatures that can get hit and die in exchange for dealing damage? instead they went with most retarded way for it
>>727742251Every pet should also be able to fight, and you can heal them with potions.
Are they finally adding the Apache?
>>727735343Calamity is also getting a big update. The sunken sea area is being reworked with new sub areas and all new mobs plus a lot of weapon reworks and rebalances
>>727689594I think it's pretty good. It's just that the difficulty curves on the highest difficulties are all out of wack.
>>7276888872.0 WHEN.
>>727735343calamity is perpetually in "Next update" mode, don't bother waiting. Just get in and do it.

>>727745985The Calamity team is going to tear itself apart with internal drama before he ever gets added.
