So we've been testing the new gear for PVP and here are the results of some pretty strenuous testing. When in doubt, assume the entire accessory loadout is Warding (no Expert mode acc, and I'll explain why later).
>Stellar - Summoner 100% unusable. The summons will not seek out the player even if you attack them or they attack you. You'd have to walk around and attempt to get that dragon on them, even then it only does 50 damage to a mage (which is about middle armor).
>Solar - Melee Really good when used with memesword but solar eruption can work too. Solar eruption builds auto-die to mages and require extra damage buffs, so you miss out on warding (your armor will be the same as an all-warding mage or ranger). The charge is useless since everyone will have wings/UFO
>Vortex - Range The bow is useless in PVP; just way too slow to turn and people have 360 degrees movement now. The gun is really great but chlorophyte bullets don't work. You will have to aim luminite bullets. They do a lot more damage too, but take forever to kill a melee build. That's a tight fight which will require you to dodge poptart cats really well while sustaining fire. Cover is your enemy. Straight up loses to mage every time.
>Nebula - Mage For most of the game, mages are one of the weaker classes since they're the same/lower damage than rangers with more limited ammo. In PVP however, they do INSANE damage and have 3 ridiculous attacks with different patterns. Using Prism/Blaze/Meteor is super powerful. Tested with all-damage and manaflower. Before someone memes at me with ">manaflower", please note that it has significant uses since your movement is confined when drinking mana. Being able to pre-charge your prism for the instakill beam is insane since you will never run out of mana. All your attacks do the most damage of them all, including Mememere sword. With full-Warding, you can sustain melee just fine and will beat out damage-based mages in mirrors.
Hope I was helpful.
Christopher Robinson
got no replies last thread so...how do I improve this?
Noah Taylor
>(no Expert mode acc, and I'll explain why later). Explaining why you don't want to PVP in expert mode:
Okay so in testing, I mentioned that we tried all damage an all warding (warding is significantly better, and defense seems to beat damage every time, what with weapons being pretty powerful on their own). Here's the thing, a mage, the most powerful in our tests, has to sacrifice 15% damage in order to get the infinite mana cheat. However, in expert mode, they just straight up get the extra damage. Check the image: they wouldn't really have room for anything else anyway. Meaning most other builds are just adding something random like Ankh shield (if not already) or maybe another emblem if they do something gimmicky.
This being the problem: it basically comes down to getting gimmicks AND damage on every build. 5 slots is fine but turns out 6 is so many that mirror matches become actually mirror instead of about your accessory choices.
Camden Robinson
In our tests, these new weapons (listed below) are so deadly that it's actually difficult to have much strategy, even if there's cover or enemies to farm for invincibility/nebulas/hearts/stars etc. This means with most matches against an opponent with a competent build, you're choosing your weapon before you start, and unless you get a lot of range probably not changing (without risking loss).
>Solar eruption Pretty good if you get right up on someone, but requires lots of damage buffs and/or sentries that may not work.
>Meowmere A+. Hit 2-3 times against most builds to gib them. Difficult arc to both hit with and dodge if you change it up.
>Vortex bow Unusable due to slow turning. Decent damage. Can be similar to meowmere's attack pattern but less damage.
>Dolphin Gun SDMG Very damaging if you can aim it. Basically a tile-blocked version of the meteor storm though that uses bullets.
>Stardust dragon & Cells Useless. Broken AI won't target players.
>Last Prism MVP. So much insane damage. With mana pots, you can sustain this fire for an entire match and do disgusting things like swirl the beam around offscreen until they die. Biggest weakess is the chargup attack which is pretty weak in PVP.
>Lunar Flare As good as meowmere for damage but with the most bullshit physics. Hits from above and can go through walls, so you can basically sustain this with mana pots for a long time and just win without aiming.
>Nebula Blaze If configured properly, a crit can OHKO a player and they semi-seek once they near a target. This makes it the most dangerous weapon in PVP. Generally does nothing to a melee build. Slow speed of projectiles and firing speed makes it a poor choice when the enemy isn't point blank or you can't take another hit from them (you will probably get hit firing this).
Overall, the mage's 3 weapons plus meowmere are the most ridiculous, with the SDMG being solid, especially against UFO rider.

there's no way terraria actually has a PvP scene
Levi Evans
Please host and give me one.
Levi Price
>Australian >Host You're funny
Jose Cook
It doesn't but we tested anyway. Since they made that gem PVP mode.
Jayden Rivera
>less downs-syndrome looking
and I'm supposed to just guess what that stands for?
Zachary Moore
Ping doesn't matter anyway since I just need you to give me something and it'll take a minute. Pls host. This nazar farm is driving me insane.
Juan Taylor
>Broken AI won't target players. Are chlorophyte bullets not homing in on players also broken?
Michael Russell
>looking for the flower boots to try the ez bait farm >spend like 3-4 hours in the jungle following cave tunnels and searching for shrines and trees >overall found 13 ivy chests in this world, and no flower boots, no fiberglass fishing rod, no seaweed turtle pet just fuck you redigit. downloaded terramap for this shit. there's like 11 more chests left in the world.
Adrian Wood
remake it. it looks retarded. its like you couldn't decide between a treehouse and a hut, so you did something in the middle.
Joshua Morgan
I think I did this right? 58.166.64.8 7777
Ryder Sanchez
Nope! Are you on Steam?
Brandon Allen
Yep
Matthew Wood
why dont you just fucking download a world with everything in it, why does it have to be this particular user's nazar?
Brandon Nelson
Yep, as said in >The gun is really great but chlorophyte bullets don't work.
Ethan Taylor
You're missing the point. They're not broken, they were intentionally made to NOT home in on players because that would be gay as fuck.
Owen Watson
Throw a fuck ton of dynamite at it
Jonathan James
Because shut up. I didn't ask for your suggestion, fuccboi.
Cooper Roberts
I read what you said wrong. What I mean by broken is that it doesn't occur, so you cannot even use them. Broken means unusable. Not that it's unintentional. You misunderstood. Also I'm not giving an opinion here, just reporting findings. Use what works, ditch what doesn't.
Nathan Turner
fuck you nigger i went through 30+ worlds looking for an anklet of wind, I want all of you to feel my fucking pain you fucks
Sebastian Turner
>decided ultra fuck it, I'll scan the contents of the chests too my world doesn't even fucking HAVE flower boots all the chests have boomsticks, regrowth staves, feral claws, and anklets. what the fuck is this shit? did they break the chest contents with the update and left out fishing rods, flower boots, and seaweed or what?
Gabriel Richardson
Haven't seen flower boots in 3 worlds and I checked every chest.
Asher Morris
Nigga just use the browser based inventory editor. Who cares if >muh cheats, I give myself biome keys, anhk ingredients, frozen turtle shells, and other low drop rate shit all of the time. Hell I give myself stacks of building materials sometimes too. Nothing about RNG fucking you over is fun, if I kill 50-some frozen turtles and not one of those faggots drops their shell I have no problem giving myself one for the trouble. If you're not having fun, take shit into your own hands.
Mason Scott
Look do you guys want these or not?
Jace Howard
Give Steam name pls.
Matthew Long
After spending my afternoon looking for a fucking item that doesn't exist (these stupid ass flower boots), this is exactly what I'm going to do. Fuck man, could've played an actual good game instead of boring myself in the jungle. Thanks for the offer but why bother.
Lucas Turner
I like it, you could try to add a fourth kind of styled building, maybe something for the quest kid. Driftwood inspired with fish stuff, sounds good to me desu
u rude
Matthew Roberts
driftwood? you mean the palm wood from the ocean trees?
I mean a real-physical-driftwood-house inspired building like this
Bentley Flores
Abandon that dirtrock compound and build an actual base.
Julian Wilson
just fight em pussy
Cameron Sanders
With 8 arrows and a lead broadsword on expert? Rude
Hudson Young
i fought em with a copper shortsword on expert mode, its fine as long as you dont fight the ones with the zombie arms
Brandon White
This is probably an unpopular topic, but; Starbound. Is it good? I want to construct a large and heavily armed surface colony, and then make a leviathan space-faring colony ship in the colony's drydock at which point I'll shift my focus to interstellar living. Is that a feasible expectation of Starbound?
Nolan Davis
sorry nigger but starbound has it's own general (that dies every time it gets made) for a reason just don't buy it
Owen Howard
>just don't buy it That aside, is it at least decent?
Jeremiah Morales
Got 2 flower boots on my current world, was pretty surprised
Dylan Rivera
Is this the birth of an epic new maymay?
Carter Davis
no, just do something productive instead of playing trash games made by trash developers
Brody Bell
Alright, I won't play Terraria. Thanks for the advice.
Jack Reed
tfw have to stack melee armor but use guns in new-hardmode on expert mode just so destroyer probes dont tear my ass asunder

Logan Howard
Does anyone have requests for old textures like copper brick from 1.2ish for me to post before I delete this texture folder off my hard drive?
Austin Wood
Just dump them all.
Joshua Torres
Why does it always take the TModLoader guys so long to bring their shit up to speed? Barely anything changed in 1.3.4
Dominic Butler
Any suggestions for bathroom walls?
Currently weighing up whether to build out the cellar as a swimming pool, and construct a separate 'toolshed' for all the crafting stations
William Sanders
Bottom-most row, use Stone Slab. For the rest, go Marble, or one of the various wallpapers sold by the Painter.
Think of it like a real bathroom, and decorate accordingly.
Jeremiah Long
Painted wallpaper for walls, otherwise marble. Could go with stucco for a shower.
Liam Murphy
>stone slab >wallpaper Excellent choices
Brayden Baker
Yessss, finally I can stop playing the video game.
Landon Perry
how shit is it?
Jaxon Lopez
it's an abstract kind of shit
Mason Johnson
Which is more fun, melee or summoner?
Cameron Mitchell
summoner
Juan King
A combination of both of them.
Parker Phillips
What summon monster would you recommend for endgame? Stardust dragon?
Jeremiah Sanders
Optic Staff
Adam Collins
What kind of armor set should I aim for for hybrid?
Alexander Russell
Depends on your weapons. I'm mostly wearing melee armor, and melee and summoner accessories.
Alexander Ortiz
So I guess in the context of fishing quests, "Surface" means "Forest" and all of them mean "no corruption or hallow" unless strictly required in the description?
Why are there so many incentives for keeping parts of your world both uncorrupted and unhallowed when they don't give you any reasonable means to keep them that way? Are you just supposed to blast away at your Forest with Green Solution every three fucking days and/or spend 2 hours digging a trench?
Jonathan Phillips
Look, another person having a non-issue. Man, digging a 3 blocks wide hole around a small biome and putting some wood at the top parts in order to block the grass from growing down is soooooooooooooo damn hard, right? Like, 2 hours worth of work, right?
Josiah Barnes
I bought into the Starbound meme soon after it hit it's 1.0.
Ignoring the asspain over removed and gutted features, I didn't find it very enjoyable.
Exploring the planets was alright at first, but then every planet ended up looking the same to me after a couple hours.
The ship feature is alright, but it could have been much better.
the whole hunger system was neat, but after finding an initial source of a couple plants and a relatively minor investment in a fridge you will never go hungry.
The story and quests they apparently hamfisted in for 1.0 felt bland and uninteresting.
Base building could have been fun, but the selection of blocks and inability to hammer corners makes many projects look like ass.
All in all, the only parts I really liked were the base building concepts (build outposts and have as many random shitters and merchants live in them as you want) and the randomized weapons/combat.
Tyler Perry

Eh, I was gonna pick em out to save people from digging through the entire folder. If you want the whole thing you can just grab it yourself off spriter's resource.
Jaxson Thomas
What a horrible layout.
Lincoln Hernandez
Forgot to ask, but is summoner endgame post moon lord equip viable for expert bosses?
Owen Watson
>crimson lake list completely overrides whatever biome lake it used to be >cannot catch snow biome fish in snow biome >cannot catch cavern fish underground >not even the quest fish
Brody Gray
Well, it's endgame equipment. By that time, you should have already killed the bosses.

Bentley Nguyen
You mean I should make a bland room with vanity items that is not even finished?
Ian Morales
I meant that you should play some CoD since Terraria is not for you, my autistic artist.
Michael Stewart
Don't worry, I also play the newest CoD with titans and I'm pretty autistic about it
Finish your room, fag
Logan Morris
Too much fucking space to show off some armor nobody cares about, armor which one will spare no gaze toward for longer than a quarter of a second. Completely garbage.
Oliver Morgan
I will. Soon Your underground pier is cool tho

Hello
Jaxson Myers
I have literally never seen the flower boots, after searching for them for ages. God bless that one mod that lets you choose the maximum number of fishing lines you can toss at once.
