why would u want to kill falkor? :(
He is evil and you know it, a flying white dragon can be up to no good.
Yeah, Falkor is a jerk. He's the one who doesn't let the story end.
Here is a nice video of new features some of which I'd gleaned from the other videos some now. Like a new holy biome, monster spawners, a version of the redstone circuit system from minecraft. You might want to combine the last two to make a gel farming factory for your brand new flamethrower which I'm sure will need plenty of ammo.
The update seems like it will be coming out 1-3am EST. I'll be setting up a server (with port forwarding on my end setup)asap, pm me on steam or ask me on mumble. My steam name is Morberis. I would like to see people starting with new characters and not bringing in anything more than silver grade items.
Patch Notes:
NPC’s
There are thirty-six new monsters!
The underworld has a new master, the Wall of Flesh. Defeating him will unlock new challenges for your world.
There are three harder versions of the older bosses.
There are now three new friendly NPC’s that can be rescued after specific conditions are met.
The Dryad will now tell you the percentage of Corruption vs. Hallow in the world.
Made several small changes to allow for better underground cities.
New NPCs will spawn in their homes underground, instead of on the surface.
Worms will no longer spawn when near a friendly NPC.
Underground towns will now reduce, and eventually stop, enemy spawning.
Items
Added thirty-nine statues that are scattered around the world. Some of them do special things when activated with mechanics!
Star Cannon : Shoots faster.
Sandgun : Sand shot from it does more damage, and it shoots faster.
Blowpipe : Now listed as ranged.
Goblins no longer drop rocket boots during an invasion. Instead they are sold by a new NPC that can be rescued underground after the player has defeated the Goblin Army.
Boomerang type weapons are listed as melee.
Added four new armor sets. Each set has different helms that give bonuses to melee, ranged, or magic, respectively.
There are twenty-one new accessories.
Weapons and accessories can now have random conditions that modify their stats. These conditions can be changed for a price by visiting a new NPC.
The crafting requirements for Molten and Jungle gear have been reduced.
Some accessories can now be combined at a Tinkerer’s Workshop.
Colored Torches can now be crafted out of Gems and Torches.
Added Mannequins that are crafted out of wood. Place armor on them for decoration/storage.
Added the Wrench to place wires.
Added Wire Cutters to remove wires.
Added Pressure Plates, Switches, and Timers to activate devices.
Added Music Boxes that record and play in-game music.
Added Pumps to transport liquids.
Added loads of other new items and weapons waiting to be found!
Putting the Guide Voodoo Doll in lava is now a bad idea...or is it?
Lighting / Display
Terraria now has smooth, colored lighting! You can toggle between the four lighting modes: Color, White, Retro, and Trippy in the Options Menu or by pressing F7.
Made several lighting and display optimizations to increase game performance.
Added automatic graphic quality adjustment based on the game’s frame rate. This setting can be toggled in the Options Menu.
Multiplayer
Fixed a problem with item syncing for newly connected players.
Fixed a bug that caused graphical issues for player’s using automatic weapons.
Added a limit to how often the server can broadcast NPC update packets. This prevents NPC’s from trying to update every cycle which would cause massive amounts of lag.
Reduced the amount of data needed to transmit tiles down to 25%.
The server now only broadcasts tile data to the players who need it.
The server now withholds some NPC, player, and projectile packets based on player distance from them.
Fixed a bug where water is consumed when a player cures Corruption with Purification Powder while standing in water.
World
Above ground tunnels may now be created during world gen.
Smashing Demon Altars with a special item will cause new ore to appear around the world.
Defeating the hell boss will now increase the difficulty of the world. Harder monsters will spawn, and the Corruption’s rate of spread will be greatly increased.
Defeating the hell boss will allow the Corruption to spread underground, over sand, stone, and Sunflowers, and through Jungles, destroying them if you let it!
There is a new biome, The Hallow, that will be created when the hell boss is defeated.
Removed obsolete lighting code, reducing both RAM usage and world save file sizes.
Added several small features to world gen.
Tweaked the way and amount of Underground Mushroom biome spawn.
Demon Torches now appear in shelters generated in the underworld.
Underground cabins may randomly spawn around chests.
Different styles of wall can now be placed next to one another without showing the background between them, allowing for more creative building.
When nearing the top of the world, the player will now leave the atmosphere and be less affected by gravity.
There are now three types of traps that are generated underground. Watch your step!
Cacti no longer damage players.
Game Interface
Items being held by the mouse will now be used by left clicking. This allows the player to place objects without putting them on the hotbar. Right clicking will now drop the item.
Placing objects on grass will now destroy the grass.
The crafting menu now scales to fit the size of the screen.
When the inventory is open, the number of the selected item in the hotbar will appear in green.
There is a new NPC housing interface that can be used to assign living areas to NPC’s. This interface will also tell you if a room is missing any requirements.

Underground Corruption has its own music track.
Underground Hallow has its own music track.
There are two new boss music tracks.
Greatly reduced world save file sizes.
Decreased tile frame detection time by 15%.

There is now a random option in the player creation menu.
Female players now have separate armor graphics.
Added a new mechanical system! Holding a mechanical item will display the wire grid to create interesting new devices.
There are new overworld backgrounds for each biome!
Bug Fixes

Fixed a bug that would crash the game when player tried to draw water outside the bounds of the world.
Fixed a bug that would cause mana regen to ignore stat bonuses given by armor or accessories

Placing and removing items during the placing animation will no longer destroy the item when it is collected.
Fixed a bug that would cause graphical abnormalities when the lighting changes dramatically.
The FPS display (F10) shows the correct number.
Fixed a bug that swapped the lighting of players pants and head armor.
Fixed a problem that would cause water to settle in strange positions.
Fixed a problem that caused objects with transparency to appear darker than they should.
Wow, that's a hell of an update. Can't wait to check it out.
So stoked about this.
Finally bought this!
Is it a perfectly fine game to play on my own? Or is it basically an absolute must to get the most out of the game that I join some server and play with other people?
Totally fine to play by yourself. In fact, if you go to other people's servers you'll get a lot of the discovery spoiled, most likely.Originally Posted by LMN8R
I have dozens of hours of joy from playing Terraria alone. I think I'm going to start a brand new character on a brand new world and do zero twinking to experience the new patch.
"Items being held by the mouse will now be used by left clicking. This allows the player to place objects without putting them on the hotbar. Right clicking will now drop the item."
Yeeaaaassssssssssss!!!
Yeah this is great solo as well as multiplayer. I'm going to fire up a new map from scratch for sure.
What's the deal with these updates? Do you have to apply them yourself on Steam? My game hasn't updated since I bought it and I know I've got it set to update automatically.
It's $2.50 on Steam today, as well.
Steam updates automatically. I don't think the new patch is out just yet...
Anyone have a link to a quick 'how to' guide? I can't figure anything out and I never played Minecraft.
Restart Steam, it's out im playing on Morberis server.
It patched when I started the game.
Getting Started article on the Terraria wiki.
So my new world is going pretty good. I'm like 2 gold bars short of a gold pickaxe, I have iron armor, and blessedly a grapple hook. Jungle is fairly close (large world, relatively speaking) on my Western border. So I've started exploring it, because a thorn whip, grass sword, and grass chakram would be groovy. My second expedition was going well but Terraria crashed on me. My first crash ever. :(
I played for a bit last night with a new world and character, and it took me a while just to figure out how to make a freaking bed. Hint: Make an iron chain, and a bunch of other opportunities open up.
I've also found some weird stuff like a hammer statue, which I'm guessing might be related to the new ways you have to attract NPCs now, and some glowing 2x2 mineral deposit that I can't get out with a silver pickaxe.
(I'm trying to avoid the wiki for now, just exploring and seeing what's new by myself for a bit.)
I've spent most of my time building my house, and digging infrastructure tunnels (tunnels to makes access easier) and while it's not quite done it's quite far along.
I've used the statues as decoration, the nurse gets the heart, alchemy station gets the potion and Mr Coffee since he's on hardcore gets the reaper statue. I have a dorm for people and 2 other rooms open.
And omg someone dug to hell, and didn't put any water down there! Whyyyyy, I've just lost everything.
edit: Careful hookshoting skills have shown me through, at the very last second hookshoting the floor saving myself allowing me to collect everything. But it's weird, dumping water down there and it collects in the air.
Edit 2: I restarted the server and it seemed to be an error of some sort, I fell safely into our catch basin this time. Talk about grrrrrr. Beware!!!
Edit 3: Well FFFF, I log in and all my stuff is gone! looking at the server logs no one else joined so, wth

I just loaded this up and spent literally a whole hour looking at all the new stuff to build, and that's with my new character who only has copper, iron, and silver.
Is there a Qt3 server up and running for Terraria? I've gotten back into it, and I think it might be fun to build where other people could see it :P (not that my building skills are very good mind you!)
~C~
Hard mode is incredible. It's pretty close to what I always felt Terraria's "end game" should be.
I made a Medium world and managed to blow through the whole normal game (triggering hard mode) in about 10 hours. Some abnormalities included heart containers coming in clumps (I went from 0 for hours then found 5 within a screen of eachother) and odd, or perhaps just unlucky, meteor spawns (only one after 7 orbs, which is very improbable so I think I messed something up. And that one meteor happened to land on a floating island to boot).
I would seriously recommend having max HP (400) and the best gear you can find before attempting to trigger hard mode. I'm at 400hp in full Hellstone with a Night's Edge and it's pretty difficult. If you're not already well-equipped, attempting to get up to parity might be near-impossible. Of course, you probably wouldn't survive what it takes to trigger hard mode either without some serious gear...
Yes, I'm running one but I'm out of town so I don't have the ip handy, Mrcoffee as well as Contrai and a few others have it, pm them for it.
The jungle is down and to the right (follow the signs) and hell is all the way down, and to the left then down a jagged cleft in the rock. I find hell much more manageable now that it isnt just tons of imps throwing fireballs.
I recommend easycore or medium core. Hardcore and you might be like mrcoffee mk6. I was mediumcore but the prospect of losing everything in hell and being unable to get the stuff I just spent 30 hours getting convinced me to make and level up an easy guy just for hell. Anywhere else with skill and patience and you can get your stuff back without too much difficulty.
I also really recommend checking out Contrai and Danni's house (do you like the cliff I installed with dynamite?!)
Easycore and Mediumcore? What?
Nevermind, I see now. Didn't know they added Mediumcore.

I play on mediumcore, as I think hardcore is a bit too much, when oftentimes through no fault of your own you can get killed.
Sent you a PM through QT3 with Morberis's server IP
