I went into caves in the desert and fought awful horrible bugs and sandworms. Then I went to the surface and a sandworm descended on me from the empty loving sky. :stare:

Probably means there's a floating island above that spot!

So I went into a lizahrd temple, got a solar tablet and summoned an eclipse. The enemy variety was pretty much doubled and I'm sure I didn't get all the new stuff, but I did get two kinds of yo-yos, one of which without a modifier had more damage on it than the terra blade.

Does expert effect world gen at all? I played for a few hours and didnt find one chest or life crystal. My starting area is a tiny bit of neutral ground with the jungle and tundra a stones throw on either side. Haven't played in awhile maybe thats just how it is these days.

If you're starting right next the jungle, I'd assume so. Normally it only generates on the outer third of the map, I think?

A bunch of the new achievements are pretty bugged, I built a massive 12 story house for my npcs and I didn't unlock "No Hobo" and by using magic mirror in an underground mushroom biome I got the "visit an overground mushroom biome".

Also hardmode, dungeon keys, skeletron and a bunch of random hardmode/invasion achievements won't unlock.

Does Expert world just amp up the damage everything does to you to a ridiculous degree, and in return give you way more money?
Because that's what it feels like.

Agreed. I have 105 defense wit the beetle shell armor that reduces incomeing damage and I still routinely get hit for 50-75 damage.

Hey 37th Chamber, your server is fantastic, but some dick set it to hard mode with most of the group at 120 HP and there's corruption at our doorstep. mind doing a world reset?

So does expert mode have any unique loot or what, because the damage is pretty wild for a new character to deal with!!

I think so, but it's a world setting, so maybe it's not intended for new characters?

EDIT: Not that this is stopping me from trying it out :v:

Yeah I was giving it a go anyway on a new character and it was doable. Nearly killed King Slime during a slime rain event. Gonna leave it until I gather the squad and go crazy later in the week.

Yes! Bosses drop a treasure bag with a unique item in it (seems to be one item per boss, unless I got really unlucky). Both people in my game got the item when I opened the treasure bag, which is rad. Either that or it dropped two bags and I didn't notice.

The Eye of Cthulhu's expert mode drop is really cool.

10/10 best update, it's an entire chest in size.

Dont know if this is an expert exclusive change to world gen, but several of the statues are spawning pre wired with pressure plates/timers? Just got killed by a never ending stream of skeletons. Probably should make it a point to break all statues you see.

Well it had another hotfix update so the server isn't matching. Which is just as well, since someone who will not be named decided to thrust us rear end-first into Hard Mode against the wishes of literally everyone else on the server :mad:

I've found two explosives so far, but both of them were wired to detonators instead of the normal hidden pressure plates. Barring an errant right click, they were harmless and easily harvested.

I was down near Hell and saw what looked like a weird little altar. I went over and right clicked on it for some god drat reason. It left a crater the size of basically my entire game screen.

Speaking of mean things, Medusa can go right to hell. Does it matter if you're facing away from one or not? I was trying to do sick yo-yo tricks on her dumb snake head and she kept turning me to stone.

I also ran into some really cool block that you can't collect. I was walking over a frozen pond underground... and the frozen bit turned into a giant icy area. It was quick to break, but it just shattered instead of going into my inventory. Oddly, a dart trap and some TNT were hiding down in it with no apparent way to trigger either.
