Hemingway To Go! posted:But fast bosses like duke fishron are probably barely even possible to solo without homing capabilities of chlorophhte bullets. I haven't played the game in a long while so there's probably magic options or some option from repitively dying to holiday events like every else recommends, but the chlorophyte is right there.

You can still farm Chlorophyte? How have it's requirements changed? None of the Chlorophyte I place spreads, at all, even after hours of in-game time across multiple days, even in the jungle biome. Does it have to be in the cavern layer or deeper to grow when placed? I figured 'yeah I'll just get me a bunch of Chlorophyte' but multiple attempts at creating farms across two hardmoded worlds (one Expert, one normal) have yielded zip even after hours of playtime. I just assumed that an update made it so you couldn't grow it by transplanting it anymore, because even my attempts at seeding it underground in the jungle proved fruitless.

Well, that was an eventful few hours. Started by killing Golem a few times. Then did a solar eclipse. Then died a few times before properly killing the Lunatic Cultist. Then died a stupid number of times to the Solar Tower. Then made a Solar Eruption. Then took down the other three towers, only dying twice. Then killed the Moon Lord, with copious abuse of the Nurse. That was fun.

Ah, that makes some sense then. I must have gotten really, really unlucky with my Underground layer tests then; Chlorophyte growth seems to be GODDAMNED slow now, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

I'd like to see tower defense like elements in Terraria 2. Let enemies be able to damage structures during events, with stronger materials like stone lasting far longer than dirt or wood. Also throw in rentable combat-heavy NPCs with more powerful weapons than the standard townsfolk.

Terraria: Otherworld, if it ever comes out, is supposed to be a lot more tower defense based. I'd much rather Terraria 2, again if it ever comes out, stick more to what we have now, with using environmental hazards and traps to your advantage in addition to your own combat skills.

A moment ago I was thinking about how it's weird that, for all the weapons it has, Terraria has never had a simple baseball bat as one. But then I thought about it and realized that'd require a whole new set of animations to swing it.

I have used http://yal.cc/r/terrasavr/ which is a pretty cool little save game editor thing that I don't think is going to hack your computer? You won't get the extra accessory slot from the Wall of Flesh in non-Hard Mode worlds though.

...man, the RNG went a little funky on me. Blood moon followed by a solar Eclipse followed by a pirate invasion the next day followed by a pirate invasion the next day after that followed by slime rain the same day followed by a full moon followed by ANOTHER Eclipse. It's not as bad as three Solar Eclipses in a row before I was ready for them the last time I was playing the game heavily, admittedly...

1.3.4 just dropped. Here's the notes: Change log: Features Dungeon Defenders 2 Cross-Over Invasion Invasion event featuring enemies, weapons, and gameplay mechanics inspired by Etheria - the Dungeon Defenders 2 universe. This event will play like no other in Terraria - featuring a brand new mechanic where you protect an artifact from invading enemies with the help of a unique defensive structure system. Multi-tiered event allows players at multiple points in the game to experience scaling difficulty, with corresponding loot. Enjoy rewards in the form of armor, weapons, pets and more, all straight from the Dungeon Defenders 2 universe! The Tavernkeep, a new NPC from the Dungeon Defenders universe, has arrived. He will be offering a variety of Etherian loot and gear in exchange for an exclusive currency earned by playing the new invasion! Completely redesigned liquid visuals. Enjoy the ripples and waves, as the player, enemies, and projectiles now have a visible impact when they enter and move through water The Blizzard weather event now has a new, unique ambient sound when active Toggles for recently-added visual and water effects that will allow players to balance beautiful visuals and performance to fit their preferences A new ability for Summoner players to direct their minions to attack a specific target An experimental new world seed feature (This will be inactive by default, see below in the Changes section for more details) New Items Four new sentry summons, each of which has three tiers of potency Ten new weapons Eight new armor sets Five new accessories Two new pets One new light pet Three new boss masks and trophies Two new decorate furniture items One brand new “Personal Safe” style furniture item, in the style of the Piggy Bank and Safe A brand new currency which can be spent with the Tavernkeep for much of the above New Enemies Ten new enemies, many of which can become visibly (and mechanically) more powerful as gameplay progresses Two new invasion style mini-bosses One new boss Other One new soundtrack based on the Dungeon Defenders 2 OST, complete with a matching Music Box Over 200 new sound effects inspired and adapted from Dungeon Defenders 2 Changes The way Sentry Summons function has been changed somewhat. Outside of the DD2 Invasion event, you now have a limit of one sentry summon at a time. Some of the 1.3.4 content can increase this limit. Unlike before, when the sentry limit is above 1, you can summon multiple versions of the same sentry. For instance, with a sentry limit of 3, you could summon 3 Frost Hydras at the same time. Summoners can now direct their minions to attack a specific target of their choosing. To do this, the summoner must Right Click over an enemy while holding a minion summoning staff. Minions with line of sight on that enemy will target it immediately. However, if the minions do not have line of sight, they will continue to attack targets at random. We’ve added an experimental new seed feature to World generation. All worlds generated in 1.3.4 and beyond will have a seed attached to them. You will also be able to set the seed for a world on world generation. PLEASE NOTE that this feature is not active by default. To activate it, please follow these steps: Find Terraria’s config.json file. On Windows, this should be found in Documents>My Games>Terraria. Open the config file with a basic text editing program, such as Notepad. The 12th line in the config file is labeled "UseExperimentalFeatures" and will be set to "false”". Simply change this to “true” and save the config.json file. The next time you launch Terraria, the option to view and set world seeds will appear. Please be aware that this is NOT a retroactive feature, and cannot display the seeds for worlds created before 1.3.4, as the data is simply not stored there. Additionally, you must run launch Terraria in 1.3.4 before the option will appear in the config file. It no longer rains in the space biome.

He does spawn in pre-today worlds, I just found him in Underground level, if you have the lifeform detector you're looking for 'Unconscious Man'. The stand to hold the crystal, for my pre-Hardmode character, is 1 gold, the crystal to put in the stand to start the event is 25 silver.

Ah, so that's how they prevent you from cheesing it. You have to put down the crystal holder in a 'wide, flat area' which can have some variance in it, but not so much you'd consider it a wall. When the event is going on, you can't dig or place blocks. Portals spawn in both directions, far enough away to be offscreen. Each portal puts out a constant stream of enemies, like, they're marching in single-file towards the crystal, and you fill up a bar like in goblin invasions to get to the next wave. Enemies come out in kind of a purple ethereal state until they take damage, then fall to the ground and walk. It went for me: wave 1: melee goblins. Wave 2: melee goblins, plus ones that throw molotovs or something. Wave 3: melee, molotovs, and spear throwers. Wave 4: all three, plus flying dragonlings that divebomb the crystal and pass through blocks. These are the ones that did most of the damage to it for me. Wave five: all four of the previous plus something called a Dark Mage that I didn't get to see because I lost control of the situation and the crystal blew up. You're going to want piercing attacks, because they all come at you in a solid, single-file line at a fairly slow pace, except the flyers. I used the goblin spiky balls to pretty good effect, though my landscape wasn't the best for it. I think this would be a LOT easier with a friend, so you can concentrate on a single side instead of both. I don't have any traps yet, but that or lava slicks would probably work well.

I just tried the hardmode version of the event, got overwhelmed at wave three. I guess you're supposed to get the hardmode versions of the summoning towers to be able to stand up to things at all. Like I have moon lord killing gear and can make a complete joke of the pumpkin moon (though not the frost moon, I may need to adjust some things on my accessories), this was just absurd. It doesn't help that I think one of my stardust cells was stuck to the crystal and attacking it.

Jesus christ this game just keeps giving and giving and giving and giving, and it's a decent iteration and content update each time with no money asked for, Terraria has been the best video game purchase I've ever made just on that metric alone While realistically I don't expect any further games to keep to what Terraria does, I'm still a pretty much day-one buyer of whatever Red makes next, in an era where I'm just as happy to wait 2 years for a patched $20 version of most things

I really do not enjoy the invasions/"moons" and I think they're far and away the worst part of the game. Badly balanced, tedious, frustrating, not fun even when you win, and rarely worth going through. And I wish they'd stop adding more stuff like it. My last playthrough I completely avoided them as much as possible.

Bumpers are made by hammering one end of a rail segment so that it becomes a bumper instead of the standard "cart stopper". It's the only way I've actually defeated the moon lord but it's very effective if done correctly
