For the curious, the Clothier has taken up residence in the ground floor of my tower.

Can someone please tell me why I always start the game having to rebuild my front door and floor?

You need to make a bed, place it in your home and right-click it to set it as your spawn. Any non-background items within your spawn area are destroyed upon reloading.

Or if you're lazy you can just move your door and floor out of the way.

I've started building my place of residence in the server!

...It's kind of near/underneath somebody else's, and the entrance is split off from the Hellavator route, though, and I could see both of those as problems people would complain about. If you want me to cancel it and build elsewhere, I absolutely will, but I'd prefer if somebody told me sooner rather than later...

EDIT: I can't figure out who that building belongs to, it's the crazy gorram sky pillar next to the Hellavator.

If you are talking about the one made out of wood, that is the NPC village.

If you are talking about the one made out of stone, that is my tower.

I wonder if The Groom is also a little nod to L4D's Bride Witch...

It could also be the Ebonstone Tower, I think, or even My castle

Yeah, the sun and me are pretty chill.
 

Is anyone else getting 6 bone serpents and 9 fireimps at a time in hell? because every time I enter hell there is 6 fucking bone serpents and 9 fucking fire imps every 5 god damn seconds. AND IM NOT HOLDING AQUA CANDLES!

Quit whining and start sunfury farming.

Also if anyone is willing to trade rocket boots for one platinum please let me know so we can meet up on the server and trade (I've lost my patience with trying to find it).

Thats what I am doing but for fuck sakes Hellstone is no longer immune to Dynamite so I have to grenade spam their asses.
But srsly I JUST WANT FUCKING HELLSTONE ARMOR but I can't get hellstone because i am being out spammed and then rushed by 4 fucking bones at a time.

You could do it in single-player, since characters are persistant across worlds.

For the record sunfury is pretty pointless. The only reason to have it is to have it. It can do nothing you can't do better with muramasa, phoenix blaster, or, hell, even the flamarang and/or molten fury.

Flails in general are pretty terrible, though.

I mean, I guess you can kill Eater of Worlds a little faster with it by standing in an enclosed space and clicking the wall really fast, but you're also going to take more damage than fighting him in, literally, any other way (including standing in an enclosed space and using a different weapon 'cause at least you can walk around a LITTLE with anything else and still maintain attack speed), and it's boring as fuck.

That said, yeah, multiplayer maps spawn lots of bone serpents and shit, which is why I farmed sunfury on tahr's server, and mined up my first set of molten armor on my single player server.

Sunfury is actually a really good boss killer, excluding the Eye of Cthulu. At least, in my experience.

Try phoenix blaster with meteor shot. The only thing SF kills faster than meteor shot blaster is the eater, and like I said, that requires you to stand against a wall and hit the wall or floor to maximize your attack speed, which means you can't dodge, and also tends to make the eater's head hover near you longer (as you're destroying the head while it's right on top of you multiple times), which all results in using more pots than you would normally.

Muramasa only takes a very little bit longer, and you come out of it using like half the pots. And if you're in an open area blaster is still just plain faster.

There are ways to kill bosses stupidly fast with Sunfury, but you have to do a bunch of well-timed ninja shit and you can just pop caps in them with PB

I even prefer the Blue moon over the Muramasa because against enemies like the eye and worm I can do I decent upward throw right into them as it chains damage during that moment that if floats there, and then if throw in line with the eater it will really rack up damage.

Part of why I'm going to go for the Sunfury soon since I want that extra pain it brings.

Muramasa is terrible against most bosses, yes (I still use it ANYWAY, 'cause it's not like they're actually hard... but then I also don't wear armor when fighting most bosses unless I'm doing a multi-summon boss rush or just want some demonite quick). All swords are. But seriously, try the blaster against the eye. You can only do the 'float damage' now and then, but with the blaster you're constantly popping caps into it. The fight takes under a minute.

Also, I'm not sure if you can actually hit more/faster with sunfury against eater than the 'attack the floor' trick that makes it 'swing' faster than VF speed, regardless of how you throw it into the enemy. And, again, you can only do the properly timed throws sometimes during a boss fight.

So while I definitely noticed that Eater went down much faster using sunfury in an enclosed space than using muramasa or phoenix blaster, it wasn't so much faster as to make sunfury worth getting.

Man I just started playing and I don't know what you dudes are talking about- I just hit stuff with my pickaxe and it dies. Eater of the World comes out of ground and I just pick him in the eye. It pretty sweet.
Don't use guns. They kill people.

I am in my own single player. I have No idea how bad Hell would be in the server.

Also I am about to make a run on my map with blue brick to farm for a sun furry. Because hell stone can't stand dynamite anymore.

also I am swimming in fireflowers
I got 8 the last time i was in hell.

Phoenix Blaster is okay, I guess. I still like the Minishark better, but that's because I carry a metric shitton of meteor shots with me at all times.

Haven't been playing recently (had a hankering for old Sega games), but decided to get some of that thar vanity shiz today. Long story short, I'm now rolling sunglasses, tux pants, and ninja shirt.

Speaking of ninja shirt, while I was getting the suit, I ended up with extra pants. Ninja pants are in the donation thing if anyone wants them. Also: The chests in the corrupted pillar are free to be taken from. I just like to stick demonite/shadow shit in them sometimes 'cause it feels right.

I now have full Molten armor and a flame slash and I am working on a Sun fury
GOD I LOVE THIS ARMOR Those stupid imps only hit me for 10 and the bones only do 20. After I get those I am going to annihilate Skull tron.

...Do you have all the ninja armor and other social items, like Archaeologist's outfit, etc.?

I don't like it mostly because it's a welder's mask. I'm currently rolling Ninja Shirt, Tux Pants, and Sunglasses. For great awesome.

Server's down due to a power outage followed by Hamachi refusing to load. I'll fix it when I'm not on a half-hour lunch.

Got it. My IP on Hamachi has probably changed though. Make sure to double-check it.

Why is there a massive strip mine/hole in the ground near the entrance to Aldurin's fort? Is it there for a reason?

I ask because if it isn't I might fill it in some and replant the trees.

Either way I put wooden platforms over it so it's not a falling hazard anymore. Same goes with the hell tunnel next door to it.

Sorry, I may or not have been somewhat intoxicated at one time while I was playing and digdigdigdigdigdigdigdigdigdigdigdigdigdigdigdigdi gdig

New video of what appears to be the next update's prime feature.

This looks like some kind of buff system, all I could identify was gravity inversion ("hey, let's try this outside!"), water walk, ore finder (that glowy stuff was not new ore it seems) and the other symbols seemed to indicate things like defense, self-luminosity and other things.

I like this.

A buddy and I haven't really gotten too far. We've been fighting off that world eater dude twice a day when we dynamite the orbs and the best we have for anything is demonite. We have yet to get to the actual underworld or mine any hellfire stuff. Good news is he has an orb of light, yet does not have enough mana to use the thing yet. Fun part now is stockpiling demonite ore and scales for some pretty awesome stuff. Too bad he's hogging all the nice gear, but it is his server after all, I guess.

Cool thing? We managed a 4 floor house with an escape route to our grand tunnel and mining zone, not to mention our tower for the merchants. Yes, we have grappling hooks and no longer build wood beams to get back up places. Well, we don't fear the night anymore and the corruption is just a mild annoyance to tread through and we had to to get to a meteor crash. At least it was out there and not on our houses. Treading through the corruption just to get to the dungeon and get to Skeletron is also an annoyance, as the constant delays by devourers and soul eater things get on the nerves, so we end up getting there by day, which sucks.

Log on to Tahr's. Empty donation chests and/or chests inside pillar of corruption.

Learn him who is the boss.

Also, tell him to run the server from the terrariaserver.exe. He then gets access to a 'time' command that lets him set the time to whatever he likes whenever he likes. No more waiting for night time to summon skeletron.

Uh, I'd love to play on the server with everyone else, but there's a tiny bit of a problem. Hamachi keeps telling me that the server is full. No matter what time of day I try to log on to it, it's full.

Edit: By the way, if anyone wants to chat over Steam or something, maybe plan something out, try adding Gaimeboy or Maniacman2030, not sure which one you need to add. I'll probably be on a Terraria bender tonight all by my lonesome.

You should join this

Okay, am now officially adding people to my friends on Steam. Maybe now I can actually participate with the rest of NPF on Steam.

Power issues/brown-outs. Gonna be down until tomorrow.

Back up. 1.0.5 is out.

I've started making an artificial sky jungle west of my place. It's fine so far, but I don't like having to line the bottom of every column of mud with dirt to keep i from falling.

But yeah, I'll start making flat runs so that people can farm it for jungle seeds needed for green dye.

Okay, we have officially hit the free cap for Hamachi networks. I booted one person (I have no idea who, they didn't have a name set) who I don't think I've seen on in a while, but I could be wrong.

If any of you logged into the Hamachi Network but don't really use it at all anymore, it still has you saved in there even with Hamachi off. Toss me your Hamachi IP and I'll either temporarily evict you so that people who want to log in can play, or you can drop out and in yourself. You of course are always welcome to rejoin etc. etc. at a later date.

So, there was a Terraria sale today (started at 75% off, then 50%), I hope I can get on the server tomorrow ^_^. Oh, and I got the 4 pack, in case anyone wants to get the game (sorry, no freebies this time since right now, I'm try to save some money), I got 2 copies left.

I have become enamored with many other things so I don't know that I'll ever finish the skyway. If someone else wants to do so they can feel free to do so in whatever manner they choose. Just keep in mind that using anything other than wooden platforms can/will catch meteors and result in pretty much no actual meteorite.

Edit: P.S. This is not however carte blanche to destroy my fortress or the pillar of corruption. I really like those two things.

Aaaaaaaand I got the network full error :/

Booted another random person who may or may not need back on because people are way too cool to just say "Hey I'm done yo, boot me so other people can play"

You should be able to link in, now.

Thanks, time to check all the stuff that everyone has made there ^_^

Hi McTahr, you don't know me, but the NPFers who play steam night know me. Brand new to the fourm, and i would like to use that their server you got if you could let me.

You could just kick everyone who isn't currently playing and then put the log in info on the first page.

It only takes a second to rejoin or whatever so long as you have the log in information.

Also: Is just being offline enough or do you have to actually leave the network? I put myself offline back when you first mentioned it, but with people still getting full errors and in my experience not that many people being online on it all the time, I figured I'd just full on leave to be safe. Though it seems silly that offline computers would count for filling the network.

You have to actually leave the network to open up a space.

Re: rest of the stuff you said
I booted every single offline user. The log-in credentials for the server are on the first post of this thread. Do as you will. If you plan on leaving for an extended period of time, please leave the Hamachi network so new folks can do stuff and things with bricks and blocks.

Oh hey look Mediacom can't maintain a steady connection. So, so surprised. Prolly out for a couple hours.

Back up, just now had time to post though. Oh wellski.

Oh my word this game is addicting. About the Hamachi thingamajig, do I need the "anyone can download" free version or the "make a hamachi account" free version?

So, in order to make space for anyone that wants to play, we just have to leave the network?

Yar. I booted anyone who wasn't logged in at the time, so we're fairly well covered on space for a while. Just if we're sitting at like 14 people and you wanna take a break, do some nub a solid and get yo click on.

Bluh? There's a giant slime boss now? I should start playing again, kinda fizzled out after I got a fire.... mace.... thingy from my one trip to Hell (shortly before getting incinerated by a legion of imps), and being totally unable to find the dungeon or a meteor impact site on my SP map. Guess I shouldn't have picked Large.

Looks like on December first we will get Terraria: Supreme Clusterfuck version
 

What do you guys think? I'm personally excited to get more content, especially harder looking bosses.

Mirai better be ready to stream this with me
 

I think the NPC housing UI is the single best thing about it.

Like, that is being player focused right there.

Also I look forward to opportunities for gaming.stackexchange rep. I track the terraria tag there, with any luck I'll score at least one accepted answer out of this.

Is McTahr's server still running? Due to the big update and all tomorrow, plus I can actually play this cross-Atlantic without worrying about beasties unlike Minecraft. I don't think Hamachi is needed these days.

Is this true? :aaa:

Well, a quick perusal of the forums shows most servers being advertised as No-Hamachi, so that's what I'm assuming.

I'll probably start a new character for the update. I haven't played in a loooong time.

Update's out.

I don't like the sound of the voodoo doll update . . . I wonder if that's what triggers that hell-region boss I saw in the trailer for this version?

So, killing the hell boss makes corruption spread through sunflowers...how can we stop it now? :/

The Hallow

If we get another server going, please let's avoid Hamachi. I am stuck in some sort of Hamachi limbo where I can't update it to the newer version because the old version is installed and errors when I try to install, but the old version -isn't installed on my computer- and I have spent hours searching for a solution and every trick I found has not made any difference at all.

edit: HAHA FUNNY STORY. You know how computers are complete assholes? Yeah, I'm good now

If people plan on playing again it's no bigs for me to boot up the server or toss it to someone else to host. I just noticed like negative three people actually playing so I saved myself the hassle of maintaining uptime.

Not one to threadsurrect, but I just picked up a trojan the second Hamachi loaded this morning. One of you guys has a bit of virus-purging to do, it seems. (And possibly the rest of you!)

I haven't used my netbook (where I have hamachi) in a while so, I don't think I had that thing. Also...I don't even know if hamachi still works :sweatdrop
