The Terraria 1.3 Update.

ShadowTiger · Post by **ShadowTiger** » Sun Jun 28, 2015 3:34 pm

We used to have a topic for this game, but it's long since gone. Anyway, Terraria's 1.3 update is less than 48 hours away. I am literally shaking in my clothing with anticipation. I have over 1,180 hours invested into the game, and that's not counting mods. I wouldn't even dare to imagine how many hours I have played with the mods on. Egads.

But we all have those games we can't rip ourselves away from, don't we.

So for those whose head has been under a rock, 1.3 has been in progress for thirteen months now.

Official 1.3 Trailer

Most of the Change Log. They omitted a bunch of stuff to keep the surprises and sense of exploration going.

There is no single part that I'm looking forward to the most. I'm just generally aware of the monumental amount of features that Terraria will have now that has brought it up from the game that it was in 2011.

I'm also waiting for this, terraria is one of my favorite non-first person shooter games.

Looking forward to discovering what that giant ass worm-like thing is all about, and playing in expert mode.

Theres plenty of "huge ass worm things" in Terraria. Nonetheless, I'm waiting!

I'm giving serious consideration to starting my first 1.3 new world (A Medium World, I suppose... I don't want to be too close to the sky, and I want more room for those mini-biomes. :-3 ) in expert mode. There are plenty of advantages to it, I guess. For one, defense actually means something. Every piece of armor has serious weight behind it, metaphorically speaking. Also, "Treasure Bags" will drop from bosses with exclusive expert-mode only items. I have no idea if you can bring those items into non-Expert worlds. I'm of mixed opinion on it.

The deadliest thing though, in my opinion, is that sometimes enemies can spawn near your town just like in a full moon or solar eclipse. I know the bosses will all have new techniques, and some enemies too, but we can dodge that. I mean all we have to do is wall off the whole town, but that's a ton of walls! I use glass myself, for the most part. Some of the gameplay mechanics changes help with that though.

Holy crap!

I'm gonna end up wasting a few weeks of my life again... god only knows how many times I've played through this game already!

I have 532 hours spent on this game. WTF

I can't wait until NPC's leave me alone.

And I just read the changelog now. This is merely speculation but I'm putting it in spoilers just in case

Spoiler:
-NPCs can fight back. They're more than likely able to be equipped by the player.
-Item sharing. Steam integration. Oooooh boyyy.
-I never knew the mobile version was a step ahead the PC one regarding the boss icons.
-It also seems that we can set up towns? The Tax Collector NPC might prove this to be true.
-Slime farms are obsolete now.
-New enemies for Blood Moon...Nightmare Squirrel?
-Gender Change Potions? There's going to be a new enemy that attacks you based on your gender, right? Or maybe one that actually switches your gender?
-Beenades can be crafted now. If they haven't buffed some of them, several bosses have just got easier.
-I'm afraid the Magic Mirror is going to be extremely rare now.
-I really hope they haven't ruined wired statues.

Also something tells me that from now on every Terraria server will host Expert mode.

Funny, I was having an itch recently to play Terraria again. I had no idea such a massive update was in the works for over a year. what was the other of the were red left the community for a while for his family and then released it? I'm guessing it's 1.2. Anyway, the hype is real.

Better link

The Crimson now has aligned fauna: Vicious Mushrooms, Vicious Powder, and Crimtane Thorns.

I think they meant flora.

Welp, looks like that will be problematic for me. Every boss fight I rely on that mirror.

...well drat, at least the NPC's will br useful.
