You could also fill the water with blocks and then quit/reload, I think that still works. Other than that, yeah, you'll have to pour that water elsewhere.

I just started playing Terraria with friends a couple weeks ago before this patch was announced...oops!

I took a look at the worlds I had from when I had last played Terraria, all the way back in 2011! Pretty sure I beat the game back then too.

What? One name? Who are you, Seal?
As someone who beat the Wall Of Flesh a long time ago, but then never got much through the next (Hard?) game mode, what settings (including world size) should I play with for a new Journey's End game?

For instance, I never really could figure out, for a single player only game, if I should be using small or medium world size.

I personally like medium worlds. Large feels tediously big to me, and small is too small and also has a lower elevation where annoying sky mobs start spawning (like harpies and wyvern).

What I can't decide is if I should start with a fresh character or whether or not to jump into journey mode

I always prefer Medium. It's not unbearably huge like a large world, but there is a much better feeling of exploration than small, at least IMO

Go with large. Especially with the new teleportation mechanics, you're better off maximizing available stuff and space for building.

What about the difficulty (Journey, Master, etc.)?

As far as I'm concerned, Journey is now the best way to play the game, especially since it allows you to play any of the other difficulties when you want - you could play on Normal, and then juice it up to Master for just bosses, which is some seriously excellent accessibility and fun.

it does not, journey mode does not lock anything out. you can still get achievements and the master only drops

I'm not sure what's going on but I started the game and now I have a birds nest on my head as a hat, and the bird attacks critters. Granted I haven't played in a few years but is that a new thing lol

I'm loving these random world names.

Although I'm not sure if the context of this means "Oh no, Shaty's been hurt! :ohdear:" or " I must hurt Shanty! :black101:"

Have steam verify the local files? That's always my first response to consistent crashes on any steam game.

Same. Tried doing a verify files and it found and issue, but didn't fix it. Now I'm trying a full reinstall.

No, not that one.
The Baby's First Wings you now start out with are insanely handy, I love them. Increased block placement/destruction is also super nice.

Mod talk: I can boot and play my tmodloader worlds without issue, but when I try to quit, my mouse cursor freezes on the main menu page and I have to alt-F4 out.

Edit: my bird buddy is a ruthless slime killer.

Okay, small delay on my server. They're getting hammered by people trying to deploy new Terraria servers and apparently suffering a bit of rate limiting from Steam because of that, ha. I'll keep trying.

And confirmed, the server will be in Chicago. I'll make it a large world, Journey. Don't stop believin'.

Money duplication can be researched with 100 of a coin. I'm already up to 2 platinum from a fresh character/world and it's still the first night. This mode is hilarious.

Maybe if you really want it hard locked to Master and have two extra accessory slots? Or there's other goodies exclusive to only Expert and/or Master

The accessory slots seamlessly change with the difficulty slider. I bumped it to master and had 6 slots. anything less, 5

It feels too good to be true which is why I'm asking. If it's basically "you can pick between normal, expert and master all the time with no penalty and also dupe items" I'm not seeing any downside.

Plus you can turn off corruption spread which means you don't have to wall off your biomes.
