I think the weapon change that stood out to me the most in a quick skim was the Beekeeper sword. "Nerfed damage, nerfed use speed, nerfed knockback... Oh also removed autoswing" Removing auto-swing from anything is just cruel  EDIT: Whoops, new page. time to dig up link quotes! benzine posted:It's here!

The list above is just unwanted stuff they took OUT, not any of the stuff that they added. The "added/new stuff" part of the changelog is huge

There's honestly no changes there that I seriously object to, although a few of the bugfixes had me thinking "that sounds hilarious, they should make something that intentionally duplicates that behavior." Smaller snow biome is the change I like best, though. Hated the occasional world where I had like twenty feet of forest bordered by an acre each of desert and tundra.

Haven't played Terraria since 2015 but all this new 1.4 stuff looks exciting. I'm debating trying out Expert mode for the extra goodies but I've never even beaten Wall of Flesh. Is that a bad idea?

axeil posted:Haven't played Terraria since 2015 but all this new 1.4 stuff looks exciting. I’m late to this boat, I just started playing a couple weeks ago with my kids. Them on normal, and expert mode for me. From my experience, expert mode adds some pretty brutal obstacles to overcome - expert Skeletron is just rough, with a ton of HP and defense, plus homing ranged attacks and a charge that stun locks. I relied heavily on cheesing with the nurse when I couldn’t avoid the charge attack consistently. Expert Wall of Flesh wasn’t as bad, I mostly put it off to get my world hard-mode ready for a while. It’s easiest with a good ranged weapon, in my case a Phoenix Blaster. I’d say all the bosses on expert require arenas if you’re not over equipped, plus heavy potion use - regeneration and iron skin in particular, coupled with fires and heart lanterns to keep health up. By comparison the normal mode bosses are fairly trivial once you’ve gotten used to the expert variants. I think expert is much more satisfying to play, since you can really take on bosses without too much effort on normal.

If you jump into expert my advice is always to get bombs from pots and brown chests and break two orbs ASAP so you can get meteorite (hopefully). Mine it up with sticky bombs.

Expert mode is a much deadlier world, boss fights may last a significant chunk of the night, and you must be well prepared. On the other hand, finally killing a boss in expert mode is significant. It's an achievement. Some of them are absolute assholes.

Huh, thanks for the advice everyone. I'm not great at fighting bosses but I built arenas for all the ones I ever fought. Maybe I'll generate both a normal world and expert world and switch back and forth. That's allowed right, since the character and world are different saves? It still blows my mind that there are all these things in the game I've never seen. The friggin' Crimson still feels new and exotic to me and that's been in the game for almost 7 years now. I still have my first ever world saved and the generation date on it is February of 2012. I like that I can force the game to choose Crimson/Corruption as I still have never seen Crimson.

I was kind of secretly hoping they'd add a crimson/corruption hybrid world options. Initially it spawns one on each side so yeah.

The TerraCustom program can do that, and a ton of other really cool advanced custom world creation. It took my dozens of tries from the program crashing, but I once made a true Mega World of 16000x5000 size, with one Crimson and one Corruption at either side of the map, along with a bunch of other weird/neat features.

I like to use TerraCustom, which allows you to customize a ton of options in worldgen. Having both crimson and corruption is my personal preference for sure, but you have to turn down the amount or else it gets overwhelming. One corruption chasm complex and one crimson hole is good enough for me, or else you start winding up with them eating your desert or cutting through the jungle and stuff like that. Who knows how long it'll take /if it'll be updated for 1.4, though.

Honestly half the fun of the final update will be playing through legit with Journey mode, and by the time I totally exhaust the game again, the mods should be starting to pop back in.

A lot of it will be studying the new worldgen code. I like to try to get my custom worlds to generate only a single Corruption or Crimson (which is hard since it crashes so often trying to do that). Sometimes I get cheeky and then use TEdit to terraform the Corruption chasms to be Crimson, and vice versa. I usually set gems, gem caves, and gem cave size to maximum for a glittery underground, sky islands to the max amount possible, dungeon to a much smaller size, temple to a maximum size-and-traps setting for a REAL hellhole, and then taper the ice and desert biomes to the smallest possible size.

Yeah, my plan is to make a Journey character and probably do something like normal mode bosses > expert bosses > master bosses (if they're not bullshit) and then finally kill WoF to start hardmode and do that all over again. I'm bad at platformers and bullet hells, so the idea of being able to load up with some goodies from bosses before taking them down on expert sounds awesome.

Yeah, and I can still do master mode from the very start if I want to. I am very tempted to do Journey just so I can make it rain whenever I want (I love rain in games and Terraria's rains/storms/etc are really nice.) I need to remember that if I'm playing singleplayer, I'm choosing my own experience and it's not 'cheating' or whatever. Also, Journey. Having infinite building materials (once I get 999 stone/etc) would also be nice. Farming mats for a proper hellevator is tedious. I'm glad they did the 'creative' mode this way.

Journey Mode giving so much control without needing mods is going to provide a ton of replayability. It'll also make it really good for kids.

I'm not sure it'd be great if you wanted the 'classic' experience because it appears you can work around that, and for those of us who cut our teeth on the classic experience Journey mode as a start might be missing something. Really we won't know until we see it.
