Pls server update

Pls server update

I was just about to post that too. I just got an update and now can't rejoin. (Was in social server last time)

[forsaken1111]

Since I can't get on right now I started my own solo world and fished a bit.

3rd cast, I got a reaver shark.

ookay then

[Frumple]

... huh. Apparently I get 2 FPS in multiplayer. Max >_>

Admittedly my SP performance isn't exactly amazing, but... yeah.

If boss health is determined upon it's spawning, would it make sense to have all but one person log off while the boss is triggered?

[frostshotgg]

EoC's aggro phase (when he gets down to 1800 or so) is deadly. He starts triple dashing very fast and you will die if you can't out-dps him.

If boss health is determined upon it's spawning, would it make sense to have all but one person log off while the boss is triggered?

I guess. Everyone log off, spawn boss, everyone log in and swarm the bugger.

Do you think it changes the amount of items dropped?

[umiman]

Man, I completely don't remember how to play this game...

[Frumple]

... huh. Was the night vision helmet in the last version?

Also, noticed what you do with desert fossils! Glad I found the right thing in a house somewhere underground >_> Extractionjigger, for those who haven't noticed yet.

Spoiler: Why? (click to show/hide)

It drops consumables, Demon Hearts, which permanently give you extra accessory slots.

preety sure you can only use one but it IS nice

Likely, but hot damn if that isn't useful anyways.

[Frumple]

... spider armor? That... that wasn't there before, was it? I don't remember that. Shame the helmet doesn't really look all that spidery.

I played this a bit when it first came out, liked it but never got all that far. I see they have added A LOT of stuff over the years.

Questions: can i have fun solo? Is there a long painful grind to get to the new content?

[Frumple]

Yes, and sorta'. If you haven't played since it first came out, there is a tremendous amount of new stuff all across the board, from the early game to the late. The latest patch seems to have sprinkled stuff all throughout, as well, albeit with a bit of a focus on the late game stuff. Still, you're not looking at any particular grind at all to reach new content, if your baseline is immediately after initial release. New stuff compared to the early versions is just bloody everywhere.

You are looking at a fair bit of effort to get to the higher end stuff, though. Progression's fairly organic, but you still may end up mining or farming critters more than you'd particularly like to, at points. Especially if you're not terribly familiar with the game already, or aren't leaning on a wiki.

Oh hey, there's this big update, I'm almost enticed to start up Terraria again. It has that Minecraft quality of eating up my life though. It's a gluttonous game, it is.

[Flying Dice]

oh

oh no

Okay, I spent all night grinding and... wow. Yeah, I'll just say this. The new stuff (both the invasion and the new world-changing events) is just... you could practice by playing a Touhou game on Insane. I managed to deal with the invasion with a specific cheese, and beat the initial part of the new event with the time-honored tradition of skybridging plus some other borderline cheese. That was after I died about thirty times trying to beat them without cheesing. Then I died another twenty times or so trying to deal with one element of the main part of the event. Yeesh.
