Haven't played too much into it and already it feels so different. It almost feels like a different game.

[DCEnygma]

I downloaded it today and it sounds like my Minecraft group is going to be launching a server, so there goes a few hours over the next couple weeks. Though, I know how I operate. I'll put about 30 hours into Terraria, then I won't touch it again for 6 months or so.

It feels like a totally different game at the moment, but it's awesome so far.  Things I noticed so far:

 

Spoiler

-The pickaxe is now a tool of mass destruction.  Like seriously, I made a hammer, but haven't been able to use it once so far.

-Overworld music is extended.

-Is there no more nighttime music or is it just me?  Zombies were wandering about, but the overworld music was still playing.

-Torches look a lot better now.

-Monsters will spawn with special looks based on the weather. (Raincoat Zombies, Umbrella Slimes, etc.)

-There is actually a Wood Armor set now.  It barely helps; I swear the leggings don't even have 1 defense.  What's the point?  Besides for collectionism xD.

The hammer is for removing walls and half blocks.

I only had a short time to play so far due to my busy schedule, but I'll comment on what Koh said in his spoiler tag:

 

Spoiler

- The hammer's main purpose is to convert blocks into half blocks and sloped blocks, along with the bashing down walls like before.  Try hitting some block repeatedly with a hammer.

- Yes, two day music tracks that alternate back and forth.

- I heard nighttime music, in the short stretch of forest biome I had between ice biome and crimson biome.

- Yes, I love putting them on background walls.  A nice touch, but you can't do that once you reach below level depth.

- I have yet to experience the rain.  I have mostly been in the ice biome.  I'm at a point where I need to go underground to progress.  Not finding much regarding ore so far.

- Yes, the leggings only activate the set bonus.  Why do that when you can simply give the leggings 1 defense and have no set bonus?

1.2 has met my expectations and then some. This has been an amazing update.

Update 1.2.0.1 came out to fix "Out Of Memory" bug.
It broke T-Shock but hopefully will be fix soon so I can get it back up :3

It feels like I am playing another game.  I love the half blocks and slopes, as I have been hammering away where it is convenient to have those.  Ropes have been very helpful too, although finding that ice in a bottle has also been very helpful (very similar to cloud in a bottle).  The center spawn point on my first world was in the ice biome, so it's clear that it doesn't always have to be forest in the dead center of the surface.  Crimson biome is a bit too close on one side, and not too far on the other.  I am using a medium map.  All the ores so far are alternatives.  Still so much to do.

 

I also tried to play one of my old hardmode maps.  The jungle and dungeon are certainly a lot more dangerous in hardmode now.  I'll just say that for now.

 

I'm not gonna try to do too much too quickly.  I'm slowly seeing what the game is like now.  Besides, trying to do too much can make the game very cruel on you.

T-Shock is pretty much ready to go!
Go n get it:

I would be playing, but I can't because Steam just won't let me connect. I've tried troubleshooting and it appears that Steam just won't connect. I've tried all of the troubleshooting tips that I could do at the moment and it still won't connect. What can I do to get Steam connecting again?

Have you tried re installing?

I had that issue, and over time out of no where it stopped doing that.

Try to contact steam first off and see what they can say.

also if u cant find out what the issue is, go here http://www.sevenforums.com

go to the right section and post a help topic, so far this forum has been really helpful to me!

So, I think it has come to the point where we can start talking about having a PureZC server again.  For those of us who have been playing since the 1.2 release, I think some of what the game now offers has sunken in.  I would be willing to host it, but I might want to test it out first without the usage of Hamachi, just to make sure that when we start this, the technical difficulties (if any) are minimal.  If I host it, somebody else is welcome to stream it for those who just want to watch, but that's only if there are enough people interested in just watching.  After all, playing is preferred over watching.

 

As for when we can start doing this, I have tomorrow off for Columbus Day, but if that's too short notice, we can start on another day, such as next Saturday, either afternoon or evening.  I'm hoping this is something we can maybe do twice a week, because I know how much schedules clash.  But somebody else can host if they are generally more available than I am.  My work schedule is heavy, but it's mostly mornings (all but Sunday) and two evenings (Tuesday and Thursday), and like just about anybody, I have the rest of my life too.  If you are interested in playing, or if you are just interested in watching a stream of it, please indicate which, just so we are aware of how many are interested, and also share what days of the week are best for you, and generally when (such as afternoon or evening - time zone differences can be a factor too).  As for me, I am around on Saturday afternoons and evenings, and Mondays later in the afternoon or evening work good for me too.  Wednesday afternoons or evenings are a possibility for me, but the time would be more limited, and more specifics about that would be week to week.  Sundays I devote a lot of time to prep work and other stuff, and there is football for me to watch, so I would like to avoid that.

 

Whenever this PureZC world is created, I came up with a default name:  Purelandia (like Portlandia from the TV show).  I want this to be all about having fun and being low stress and relaxing, playing a game we love while spending time together.  Also, death is meant to be punishing, so if you lose your stuff (depending on your core - I always use softcore), it's up for grabs for the first person who can get to it.  But stay out of chests that are not indicated as for anybody to take from, and don't mess with other peoples' creations without their permission.  Also, don't be too needy.  Other than that, I think that is enough ground rules so that we can all strive to enjoy ourselves.  I don't want to be too restricting to the point where few are having fun, after all.  Gotta find that middle ground. 

[ShadowTiger]

I'd love to get it started too.

I'm very much available most of Saturday afternoons and evenings, minus two meal breaks. About any evening (and most afternoons!) I'm available too. Good to have the early shift.


What are your thoughts about speed-digging and hammering? Some people hate the dig-speed of most tools, and the time it takes to hammer walls is ridiculous. Now that the purpose of the hammer is mostly to remove walls and make slopes, it's not that necessary outside of the house setting. Think people can take a powerful hammer with them and not use it for combat? Or would that be an untrustworthy thing? I can agree with both points really.

[Koh]

I still haven't gotten into new Hardmode yet....I've been playing with other friends on my own server, and waiting for people to get on to catch up is...bllarrgh xD.  We still haven't entered the Dungeon yet, but hopefully that can change soon.  I mean, I've already got a Hellevator and all the old farms (minus Deathweed...kinda scared if I put Crimstone in my castle, it'll spread too fast after we defeat the Wall of Flesh before we can get Hallow around the area), full Meteor and I've farmed Cthulhu and fought the Brain once for Crimtane tools.

 

I'm available any time in the afternoon (after I have my nap <3), except Tuesdays and Thursdays where it's the evening, since my last class ends at 7 PM.
