Terraria

[Windowlicker]

Yeah, I made a straight line from my base to the dungeon before starting this whole 'remove the top layer' thing. The desert in the first picture used to be up by the mountain in the middle of it.. and there's a tunnel going through the rest of it.

Trying to decide whether or not to turn a world onto hardmode.. I probably should, since I think I've got just about everything from before it. Though I think first I need to figure out why I enjoy the game, then I'll know if I should or not...

I flatten all the time. I can't stand hopping all over the place. Especially in Terreria. I did some multiplayer and all the other guys would make these single-increment steps every block; drove me insane. I flatten the overworld terrain into more manageable runways and when I'm spelunking and make a staircase it's usually in like 5-high (well, more once I get accessories) and deep steps.

I never even did that. Wooden Platforms. You can jump through them, and fall through them by holding down, so I always made 5-6 spaced platforms down a two block wide shaft. And then later remove them, once I get the Horseshoe, only leaving ones at interesting floors (like the subway I often make at either 0 or -20-30)

Wheeeeee Hellevators!

[Yakk]

Make a 3 wide shaft, and put your platforms on the right. This gives you the ability to both climb and fall (if you want to).

Pre-horseshoe, I put platforms on the left every (do not get damage from falling) distance, which makes going down more pleasant.

Of course, it slows down initial shaft construction.

[Reassuring Curve]

I don't even use platforms - I just rush the grappling hook and grab a wall at the last moment. Cobwebs also an option, or maybe water, but you need a bucket then. All of this is a lot more manly than your silly prancing about "platforms" and "going back up".

I do have to use platforms to find the sky islands. But once they are found, a 1 wide vertical wall is all it takes to spiderman my way up there.

[SecondTalon]

well, sure.. but if you start a new character, you've got copper gear, maybe Iron.. probably no hooks yet to make a grapple.

You need platforms to get in and out.

So I just turned on hard mode and started to explore a bit. The monsters really are a TON stronger. And I got my ass kicked when I went looking for sky islands and got killed by a Wyvern with 4000 hit points.

Is there an easy way to try and find Adamantine? I've gotten all the Mythril and Cobalt I need but the adamantine is a bitch to find. And I need a TON more before I can make the armor and weapons. I already have the drill made, but nothing else. I was considering making a farm for the plants to make Spelunker potions but I'm wondering if that'll really help much.

Hopefully the modder community will take over... But... as an aside...
Starbound looks AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAZING.

I love space and I love games in space and I love most of the stuff in Terraria.

In short, I want them to hurry up so I can give them my money.

I got my adamantine by running around just above hell, with some spelunker potions. I don't know if making a farm is worth it; blinkroot is everywhere, and the underground jungle is pretty straightforward with mythril gear. You should be able to get all the moonglow you need without too much work.

Make sure you smash as many demon altars as you can. Repeating the cycle adds more ore.


Got a full adamantine suit, now I'm having trouble bothering to search out the nigh-trivial ingredients for the super-boss summoning bits.

[SecondTalon]

If anyone's interested in doing this thing online.. right now on a hardmode world, [redacted]. No password.

I'll be on here for an hour or two at least. No guarantees about connection speed as... frankly, I don't know what'll happen. I'm fairly certain my router is configured correctly.

I'll do it again, eventually.

[Psycojosh]

I like this game more than mincraft specifically because of the focus on gameplay. I haven't really seen to many people show off the stuff they created in this game. If you like minecraft for the create aspect, you may not like this, but if you like the combat, this game is waaaayyyy better.

[Adam H]

Arg! Can't kill hard mode bosses! (Other than Wyvern, who is pretty easy once you get the hang of timing your jumps.)

Full Adamantine Suit, Phasesaber blade (and adamantine blade; phasesaber seems better but it's hard to tell), reforged equipment to give defense (I think I have total 60 defense). I use ironskin, health regen, whatever other potions I have... And I still can't kill Destroyer, who seems to be the easiest. I looked on youtube and other people do it so easily, but it seems like the probes are a lot harder for me. They swoop at me more and my sword doesn't seem to push them back if I'm attacking the body of the destroyer. I'm not sure if it's my slightly different arena or a newer version of the game.

Need to do it multiplayer, I guess. Once I kill a boss it seems like the game will get a lot easier. I just need a few of those souls of might!

[SecondTalon]

Got a Dao of Power? That helps with the destroyer.

Otherwise... You can always cheat.

Cross + cobalt shield + runway of meterorite/hell stone, and a three heart statue on a timer in the middle. The stone damages you, the cross extends the invulnerability, and the shield stops the knock back. The statues are for healing, naturally.

At any given moment, it's more likely the stone will hit you, not the boss. Still, it takes a bit to get used to NOT jumping....

[Adam H]

Ha that's awesome. I would never have thought of that.

[SecondTalon]

Even if you don't want to use the supercheat runway of pain method, I still recommend hooking up three heart statues to a switch and a timer of some sort to pump out hearts during your fight. Three hearts every... what is it, 10 seconds or something? isn't bad at all.

I've got a server running, and I want some folks to play with that are at least relatively pleasant. Most of the forumgoers here live up to that standard, so I was hoping to see if we had anybody that still plays terraria. I've got a couple folks coming from one of my gaming channels, and a few kids (10-14yrs old) from the official Terraria board, so you'll usually have people to play with when you connect, and I'm usually at least keeping an eye on the chat if you have question in there. Can I post the IP here or does that break rules about using the boards to advertise?

EDIT: 99.3.174.67
once you're on, you need to type "/register password" then "/login password" before you'll be allowed to build anything.

[Adam H]

I'd like to play. I've never played multiplayer before... So yes go ahead and post the IP or PM me, if you want.

I am SO pleasant, too. It's like the adjective that best describes me.

Pfft. You've been around more than long enough. Post that IP. And I promise I won't make a giant golden penis.

...

It'll be silver.

SexyTalon, you just recieved dibs on building the first and only penis-monument allowed on the server. Make it count.

Anyone still watching this thread? I was wondering if there were any nice servers that were still alive. Supposedly PC updates are on the way and I wanted to find a hardmode world and people to party with to take on Skeletron.
