Rummy Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 Well, the bug has bitten me again. Regretting the large world maybe given our less than stellar numbers, but nonetheless me and Ville were about til about 12:30am. He has a nice shaft going on. I am currently rocking the hardest armour known to humanity...wood. We've got some metals and bars(and an interesting silt converter machine) and noticing a lot different in places. For some reason this world has lead, not iron, and there's some other curiosities too - but I'm not currently keen to read about them when it's fun to try and discover them! Ville found out last night whilst I was on my painstaking mission to set us up with grappling hooks that you don't necessarily even need to fight skeletons anymore... Anyhow, we've not even encountered desert of corruption yet, but we're both hooked(figuratively and literally methinks) up and I'll have the world on again this evening from half 5 latest hopefully(but probably sooner).
nightwolf Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 Awesome, currently doing overtime this week, but if you're about friday/saturday I'm game! I played a bit on lunch yesterday, I love it and old worlds have the update too. @Happenstance you can turn the map off if you please, if you haven't figured it out its pressing the little grassy boxes up the top right.
drahkon Posted October 2, 2013 Author Posted October 2, 2013 He has a nice shaft going on. Sorry for being absent, but I had no internet connection the past few days...It's sorted out, so I might be up for some Terraria action. Possibly not today, but definitely tomorrow!
Happenstance Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 I'll be back on again tonight, this time probably for longer as there wont be a Giant Bomb livestream that I want to go watch.
Rummy Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 Tab cycles the map too which is handy. We discovered another treehousey like place on the left Happs, though it didn't seem to have any cool green chests in it though That's another thing, though it could be due to being a large map, I haven't really found as much in the way of chests that I expected - nothing too awesome yet either. Might change now we've got our hooks though! Sadly @nightwolf I'm out friday for sure, possibly rest of weekend too but if not I'll let you guys know. I'll have it up this eve, and tomorrow eve(though I have to pop out for a couple hours tomorrow so RummyFive won't be there til 8ish maybe).
Happenstance Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 I think I found 1 or 2 gold chests last night and got 2 heart pieces. Jealous that you already have your hooks though. We'll have to start the search for sky islands soon!
Rummy Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 Tbh the hooks were almost the last thing we did/got last night. I spent ages gruelling away trying to find(rather rare actually) skeletons to fight...got one hook and forgot to craft it. Was hoping to find another to make two and give one to Ville, ended up dying so decided to craft mine back at base...then the bastard swings back into town with one! It's good to know you can craft them without fighting loads of skeletons, but man I wish I'd found out the easy way :p As said I'll have the world up but not sure when I'll be on, I've come over feeling a little bit funny. MyIP: 86.11.87.22 Pass: pass2 Port: 7777 Up again, all is as above! Let me know if there's any issues connecting, I changed one little thing and not sure if it'll affect stuff.
nightwolf Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Whelp! Dropped by whilst @Rummy was playing. Its extremely fun, lots of things (for example how the feck do you know down dirt walls now?) to figure out. I started building an underground house right next to the cave @Rummy and @Happenstance are building. Might be on this evening, especially as overtime at work has been canned for a little while!
Happenstance Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 I wanted to be on more last night but my Internet is being really crappy since my ISP "upgraded" it for us. I might just wait until it gets sorted before I try again, I hate playing online games and getting disconnected all the time.
Rummy Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Whelp! Dropped by whilst @Rummy was playing. Its extremely fun, lots of things (for example how the feck do you know down dirt walls now?) to figure out. I started building an underground house right next to the cave @Rummy and @Happenstance are building. Might be on this evening, especially as overtime at work has been canned for a little while! I went exploring more in/under the snow! I love it. The music, the snow and iceness, it was niceness! I found a few ice chests(and a water chest?) which netted a snowgun, an icy boomerang(annoyingly buffed with super knockback), and I think a breathing reed in the water one. Think I picked up a cloud in a bottle somewhere too. There's also a heart in a chest near the spawn for whoever gets to it first. I did check the map a couple of times and zoom right out...huge world maybe was a bit too huge. We've barely scratched the surface! I think I've definitely been bitten by the Terraria bug again though. I'll put the world up by half 5ish again this eve then gotta nip out, so I won't actually be home again to deal with it til maybe 8ish. I've had to switch over to Windows firewall(because no matter what I tried Comodo hated me) and I think it should work ok.
nightwolf Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Nice one, I won't be home til about 6/7pm anyway, but I'll just chill out, do some hunting around, add to my home etc.
Rummy Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 (edited) World's up! Same deets as before. Might stick some of my goodies in one of those ice chests(blue ones) for folks to play around with...just don't forget to put them back! Happs left a few useful dealies too so I'll move them over too it. Stuck them in the ice chest on the left(sorta above/in the stone rising building thingy) I'll be leaving out from 18:20 til maybe 20:00ish. Hopefully nothing goes wrongs, but if you DO have problems just post here and I'll look into it when I get back. Edited October 3, 2013 by Rummy
Happenstance Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Terraria 2 Will Have Infinite Worlds and Be 'Quite Different' Terraria 2 has been officially announced, and while it's still far from release, designer Andrew "Redigit" Spinks is already giving fans some sense of what to expect from the sequel. Spinks announced last February that he was moving on from Terraria, intent on beginning work on his next project. Despite that proclamation, he has continued to work on the game, as evidenced by the release of the 1.2 update earlier this week -- a major overhaul for a game originally released in mid-2011. At the same time, he's continued to move ahead with a mystery project that he has now revealed to be Terraria 2, as reported by Rock, Paper, Shotgun. "It's a ways out, but it's gonna have a lot in common with the original," Spinks explained. "It's gonna be quite different as well. I really want to expand on the whole Terraria universe." The reason for developing a sequel, as opposed to continuing to update the original Terraria, comes down to freedom. "There's a lot of stuff I'm locked into with Terraria," he explained. "The way loot works, the way character progression works. In Terraria 2, I really want to have infinite worlds so you're not just stuck to one world. You can travel anywhere. I want more biome diversity in that, too. There's a lot of stuff [i want to add and change]." The announcement of Terraria 2 doesn't mean Terraria is now to be left as-is. While an update on par with 1.2 is unlikely to be seen again, Spinks said he is thinking about a Halloween update and "finishing the endgame progression" in the next few months. He has looked into the possibility of "hiring another small team to continue updates while I move onto Terraria 2" and considers that a potential option, which should be encouraging to Terraria fans who are hoping to see the game continue to evolve. Spinks is uninterested in resorting to crowdfunding in order to get Terraria 2 made, so don't count on seeing a Kickstarter pop up for it anytime soon. As he explained, "When I made Terraria, I did it in four months, and I think I only paid, like, not very much – and that was just for the sound. So I'd like to be able to do something similar with Terraria 2. My personal preference is that I never be in a position where I need to get money to fund my projects." No platforms were specified for Terraria 2, though PC seems like a given. The first game, originally released on PC, eventually made it to Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, iOS, and Android, with PlayStation Vita and Windows Phone versions still to come. In addition to enjoying the changes made in the 1.2 update, Terraria fans can also look forward to the upcoming crossover with Edge of Space. The latter will be seeing the addition of some Terraria-themed content in updates that will be made available for free. http://uk.ign.com/articles/2013/10/03/terraria-2-will-have-infinite-worlds-and-be-quite-different
nightwolf Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Yes! So happy. The new build is brilliant and I expect really great things from Spinks! @Rummy thank you for the items, I borrowed a couple to go and do some diggy, managed to get myself a new heart, a mana home teleport thing. Pleased! ^_^
Rummy Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Good to see there'll be a second version - sounds like attempting some of the things Starbound's going for too. No probs on the items wolfy, any spares are going in chests here, though my cloud in a bottle wasn't one! It's cool anyway if you've still got it, not too fussed atm(filling up on other stuff) - sure I'll find another. This world really is huge though, I should done something smaller.
drahkon Posted October 3, 2013 Author Posted October 3, 2013 All those disconnects I keep getting aren't fun Hope it'll be over tomorrow...
Rummy Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 (edited) Ahhh, I have SO definitely got the Terraria bug. Ville's been working on a big ol' hellevator I believe with the help of Happs(a pioneer explorer to the west, too) and I've made a mild shortcut/horizontal shaft that heads west from a little way into Ville's hellevatorshaftydealiebob. Horetio(friend of mine) was about for a bit and apparently he and Ville were being watched by another force...they dispatched it with snowballs! I got jealous cos I'd literally left for just 5 minutes so I went and summoned my own! Ha! Drahkon later appeared but as above had some connection issues It's very unlikely that the world will be up tomorrow; this is because I will not be here for most of tomorrow. However! I will put it up first thing I can saturday morning and post here to let you guys know. If I had a laptop to run it on I'd have it up all the time, but I don't atm (on that note does anyone know the average power consumption of a PC compared to laptop? or how to figure it out in practice?)

I've made sure to put them all back I believe, though I may still have the cloud in a bottle. Whoops! Don't worry about the world for today, I usually play guild wars with my mates anyway! I've not had any issue with disconnections...?
Rummy Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Thinking about it, I've actually changed my mind. If I leave everything closed and just run the server app(hell, even if I pushed the PC to the max) it won't really burn all to much cost in the way of leccie, a few quid at most. So...yeah. @Happenstance, @nightwolf, @drahkon, @Ville - I'll throw the world up again this afternoon by 5ish, and by default it'll run til about half 2(PC automatically shutsdown sometime around then). If I figure out how/where I set that up and can disable it for the night, then I'll let it run all the way through until at least tomorrow night I think. I'll post here when it's all up and stuff!
Happenstance Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Thanks a lot for running all of this Rummy, its been fun getting back into it.
nightwolf Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Agreed, I doubt your computer being on through the evening will even burn that much money (I used to leave my comp on 24/7 and paid for electric in a shared house). That being said, its still nice of you to put it up, will come and join later this evening if the guys aren't around for GW2. I'll also put your cloud in a bottle back!
Happenstance Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 I need to look up how to get some of the better armours next I think, ive pretty much forgotten everything. My health at the moment its 180 and I have the Starfury sword so its only really armour im lacking on.
Rummy Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Thanks a lot for running all of this Rummy, its been fun getting back into it. Haha no worries, I rather enjoy it. Nice to see what people get upto in different spots or at different times. There's something very nice about the drop in/drop out for me. Agreed, I doubt your computer being on through the evening will even burn that much money (I used to leave my comp on 24/7 and paid for electric in a shared house). That being said, its still nice of you to put it up, will come and join later this evening if the guys aren't around for GW2. I'll also put your cloud in a bottle back! Haha no really it's fine, I'm sure another'll turn up somewhere. I might set aside a special Rummy chest and leave my gears for loan in there(got some hermes boots yesterday, hence wanted that horizontal shortcut) - I don't mind things going out when I'm not there if they come back in. I need to look up how to get some of the better armours next I think, ive pretty much forgotten everything. My health at the moment its 180 and I have the Starfury sword so its only really armour im lacking on. Haha tell me about it. I think I've only just upgraded to copper from wood? Will need to move onto something else soon if I wanna tackle the jungle; but not keen to selfishly make myself a set of gold; and not got enough lenses to farm out some demonite from cthulu eyes either! Btw don't forget there's 3 heart crystals still in that chest too. I've got 220 health iirc so I'll hold off using any for a while. It's the green one Happs first found in the forest. 4th from right on bottom row.
nightwolf Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 I've managed to grab a few, so I'll set aside a chest somewhere for people to use and one for myself. FYI anything in my home under the ground isn't for other people to use, but I'll make it clear when I get a chest for others to have and share out, it'll more likely be stuff I don't care if people decide to keep, especially given at the moment there's only like 4 of us playing .
Rummy Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) Can you still make signs? If we can make signs and mark chests I can make the MOTD to be to check them/leave them alone! Ok @Happenstance @nightwolf @drahkon @Ville @anyone-else, world's up. Same deets. Due to time I'm well behind my schedule for the day and so I am unable to go on and stick all my bits in a chest as I planned, sorry. (im heading out again now, any issues post in here just so I know) 86.11.87.22 Port 7777 pass2 Edited October 4, 2013 by Rummy Automerged Doublepost
