Ahhhh I was going to join that tomorrow morning. Someone already got to hardmode? Wow. I thought for sure by the time I joined you all would still be not far past hiding from zombies and sifting through piles of gravestones, from the sound of it. I think there's two servers though, maybe I can still hop on Munki's with some hope of catching up. So that I can play eventually, could someone help me with this?

Munki's server is the Journey server that's on master difficulty and hardmode already. Stealtharcher's server is the Master mode only server, and I'm not sure if it's been updated yet.

My 5-man Master mode server has been an absolute riot so far. None of us could remember anything about the game (last time we played was 2017), and the first couple of nights were a total massacre. It took us a really long time to figure out how ghost spawns were triggered, and they were just exponentially increasing our death rate. We've cleared everything bar Wall of Flesh now, so not long until we push into hard mode. Minus some crazy rubberbanding on flying mobs, we've only really had one issue -- the Dungeon entrance at the bottom of the staircase was misaligned, so the door was floating in mid air and the staircase was solid dungeon brick, so I ended up grabbing my old character to mine a doorway for us.

I've been sitting at 24x speed with no meteors... but I got enough travelling merchants and fishing quests done to finish my Cell Phone before hardmode at least, that's something. Journey Mode options are so convenient.

I've been thinking about Master mode first goblin invasion strategies.. there's nothing that says I can't load up on obsidian skin potions (thanks to fireblossom seeds from an herb bag) and make the surface center area an ankle deep lava trap, right? I already put my forest pylon in the forest close to the ocean edge, so I have no bases near the surface center. Cavern base, sure. I've got an invasion banner and am sitting at 180hp so I don't have to worry about random Eye spawns. edit: although i guess i'll need to go to 200hp to summon them. drat. may as well finish getting enough hearts to go straight to 400...

I am having two problems thus far with this update. First: I can't seem to get a forest pylon. I have a small house with the merchant, guide, and zoologist near the spawn in the forest, but they don't seem to be happy enough with the arrangement to sell it. I've moved most of the other NPCs away from the usual spawn prison (about two screens distance away) but there are still some there, is that somehow screwing with them? None of them have the "hate being crowded" dialogue anymore, though. I've successfully gotten desert/jungle/underground pylons, forest just won't proc. Second: In multiplayer I'm having crazy rubber-banding of enemies. No frame drops or more traditional lag, just enemies rubber-banding a lot. In my 2-person playthrough with my partner in the same room it's mostly not happening unless we're on opposite ends of the world, but I tried to get another world going with a friend a few hundred miles away and it got insanely bad, like a zombie would jump and 2/3rds of the way through the jump would start the jump over again, repeat 30 times. If you manage to hit it, it teleports 20 blocks away to restart the whole process. Even weirder, when both of the others left the game as we were closing down, in-game time sped up to like 4x normal. It was like the game had saved up all the time spent repeating enemy actions and was playing it in fast forward to catch up, or something. Any ideas? Everything on the Reddit is like "change your lighting" and "disable background" which has done nothing thus far. I've just been using the "host and play" multiplayer and join via steam options, should I run the server exec separately? Would that do anything? It's unplayable as is for the multiplayer group I wanted to get going. Edit: Also folks posting servers for goons, remember that this thread is just in games and isn't behind a paywall, so it's possible for non-goons to see and join servers you post.

I love the secret 05152020 seed. Used it to get both kinds of metal up to gold/platinum and do both crimson and corruption stuff. Now my character has an infinite supply of both. Working my way now through fishing quests in my normal world. Has anyone had any luck yet with npc placement and pylons. Getting sick of running to the ocean/jungle and would like to build towns there but I have no idea what NPCs to put where so I can get the pylons.

The bestiary tells you what their favourite biome is. In my experience an NPC alone in their favourite biome will sell the pylon, though you'll then need a second NPC around to use it.

I thought he just hated his new house and moved out  Someone else moved in immediately after his demise so it's going to be a minute before he comes back. Not building barracks has got my NPCs in a huge bottleneck but it's a fun problem to have. Journey Mode has really made building a lot less stressful.

I'm not sure, but it might not like the roof over 2 y-levels. Might be worth trying to level it out. We had one yesterday that just randomly stopped qualifying and had to rebuild the whole drat thing to make it work again.

Omnicarus posted:The background walls have to fully cover the room. Yeah it looks like you're missing a few pieces of background wall above your workbench edit: to add to this, I recommend turning on the smart cursor (left control button to toggle on/off) when you're filling in or hammering out background walls. It's a nice quality of life move where you can stand in one place and hold left mouse button down and the game does the rest. Before this, I would occasionally miss pieces too.

Mr Ice Cream Glove posted:Should I use Secret Seed for my first Terraria playthrough? First ever it might be challenging. You could do what I did and make a "normal" world and a secret seed world. The different ores are purely aesthetic differences and Corruption/Crimson doesn't really matter all that much since you're not playing on Expert.

As for hardmode on my server, I think it’s gonna be sitting pre-mechanical-bosses for a bit...a pirate invasion was beaten back with much effort, but it’s been a full wipe every time one of the mechanical bosses has shown up. More prep is pending and will be for a while, so I wouldn’t give up on it because of that one step. On a side note: Zenith is new, right? I don’t recall the terra blade crafting tree going on that long

God drat. I went into Journey mode blind and didn't expect it to basically be easy mode. I played for a few hours last night but I'm gonna ramp up and difficulty and possibly the spawn rate and give it a try. I've beaten WoF before but I dont know if I've ever cured all the corruption. Something else that will be trivialized by this research menu.
