I am having issues with doors randomly disappearing when I walk through them. Has anyone had this issue? I can't seem to find anything about it.

Kind of a weird take, since nobody's saying "everyone should do Journey mode instead!" People are just sharing their experience with Journey mode. It takes away the tedium and grinding for them, letting them play the game the way they want to. You don't have to have infinite money/health/whatever if you don't want to, you're not forced to. You can just not do that, and pick and choose the features you want out of it and not use the rest. If you don't feel like you need it, nice, and that's fine.

Does skeletron follow the player all the way across the map or does he only stay near the dungeon entrance? I can't remember.

He will chase you for ages so long as you don't get too far away from him. Probably don't have to worry about that unless you make really long minecart track for the fight.

I'm asking mainly because I don't want too have to build yet another arena to fight him and am wondering if I can just warp back to spawn and he'll show up. Guess not.

Is there a quick way to swap an item in my hotbar with an item from my inventory? It's kinda annoying having to juggle items around.

There were mods for past versions that allowed you to have multiple hotbars by basically turning each row of your inventory into one so that you could cycle through them. Not sure if there are any that have been updated for 1.4 yet, though.

Reading all these posts about Journey Mode makes me feel like I've wandered into a den of those nofap guys.

And I'm just like "Uhh... no?"

Like, all I hear is "It really cuts out all the tedious grinding and busywork," and I can't recall single time in 400 hours that I've done any grinding. Okay, that's a lie, I really wanted an Ankh Shield so I spent a couple hours fighting skulls in the Dungeon, got fed up, looked it up and saw that they only drop from small skulls, which are rare in Hardmode (thankfully, this is apparently no longer the case), so I stopped. Like, did/do people really sit down and go "Well, time to spend hours and hours getting thousands of dirt, a critical part of the Terraria gameplay?" Easily getting the materials for a megaproject is one thing, but infinite ammo, money, and health doesn't seem to be 'cutting out the tedium' so much as 'watching a YouTube video.'

it lets them play the game like they normally would except faster op

Sword Shrine gen seems kinda weird now? I got one shrine that had no shaft marking it at all and another was just the sword sitting in a random cave all the way down at lava layer, no actual shrine.

You could always find enchanted swords randomly in other caves. The grottoes are just where they're most likely to be found. I've found an enchanted sword in a random granite biome in the middle of the map before.

I mean, I like journey mode far less than most people but it just rates at "it is not for me" rather than the weird judgmental stuff. I played a lot of 1.3.x and got familiar with how to break the game in half. Part of the fun of the game for me is in fact breaking the game in half, and that is sorta diminished when godmode is a click away.

I do miss the spawn rate stuff a lot not playing in journey, and some of the necessary grinding is in fact tedious. The angler quests would *still* be obnoxious but you could pass time to grind them faster as well as duplicate the quest fish. That said, give me access to item duplication and I'd quickly have a star cannon with unlimited ammo.

For me Journey mode has simply taken out the grind for basic stuff allowing me to build cooler structures earlier and have less chests full of those basic blocks "just in case". It's a much more fun way to play.

You think you can defeat ME, Ephraimcopter?!?

You couldn't even beat Assassincopter!!!
I'm researching/creating stuff like torches and basic blocks and not researching things like money or duping stuff and selling it. It's maybe a little more powerful than I'd otherwise be, but only in that tedium, not difficulty, was the barrier to that extra, slight edge.

I am not an egghead. I am well-read.
I defeated Skeletron and entered the dungeon, hadn't realized they had changed it this much. The new spikes are meeeeean, thankfully also fragile. I was having a hell of a time clearing enough space to actually get to the chests.

Then I got Magic Missile from the first one.

Holy hell, this thing is absolutely mind-blowing. Controllable, homing, AND does AoE damage that can splash through walls? And like double the damage of the weapon I had before? I don't even bother using the controllable projectile, I just spam away in the general direction of whatever I want to die.

I also like that when I am playing with buddies in Journey mode it doesn't feel like we are competing for chests anymore. If someone finds a cloud in a bottle that means we all have one now. I feel like before it was just sort of a given that everyone else would be scouring other small single player worlds just to find their own copies of movement items and hearts.

I really like that they put settings in the server config specifically to turn certain features of Journey Mode off. Research yes, god mode no, lets go have fun.

I'll play Journey mode once I actually beat the Moon Lord for the first time.

To avoid double posting, are things like mini fishing biomes and seed farms necessary to get to endgame? The only major projects I've put time in are hellevators and boss arenas.

Not really. They're mainly useful if you want to make and use a lot of buff potions.

That's what I get for not reading up at all on how the journey mode works beforehand. :v:

It's remarkable how far terraria has come from the early days.

One thing that may not be clear - Journey Mode is super easy by default. Too much so even for my “bad at games” rear end. So make sure to bump up the difficulty slider!

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.
Potions can be very useful, so it's not really a bad idea. You can do without them, though.
