oh I saw the Rod of Discord's tooltip, it says: teleports to the position of the cursor, but the cursor doesn't exist on mobile.

ok here's my summary of the mobile version:
1. constant crashes make the game nearly unplayable
2. the drop rates are too low
3. the screen is shaking so hard when im moving
4. the controller is broken
well it seems all. for now...

Have you thought that maybe, just maybe, all those crashes and fps drops are your own tablets fault? On my tablet which I have had since 2012, I have only crashed a few times (Not in the past few months) and my fps never drops. I always play at 60 fps.

my tab is Samsung galaxy note GTN-8000 but my friend has a newer phone and he's running even worst.

I tried playing Terraria in my sandwich once. It didn't run as smoothly as I expected.

So, yeah. Games should be kept on gaming devices, else Terraria Mobile happens.

oh forgot to say: most of my friends rooted their devices. I am not sure why.
in addition the have been using somewhat hacked weapons like: Venus magnum does 200 dmg, stake launcher does 300, that can only mean they're hacking weapon dmg?

- Because it's the cool thing to do.
- Because they think using a program someone else created to do things they don't even understand is "hacking" and hacking is cool.
- Because some mobile cheat engines need to have full access to your phone to do what they do.
- Because someone bullted them into thinking rooting is needed to play games.

Choose one, or in some cases, all of the above.

it seems all of the above are correct, they think rooting your device makes you look cool. but really rooting puts your device in danger, system crashes, software glitches, missing system files. so don't root your device no matter what.

And something like rooting also voids most warranties I know about. It's like fixing a PC yourself - you have to know what you're doing, and have to be aware that you'll break/damage that seal in the PC case, and once that's done, there won't be any free/cheap way to fix it if you screw up.

oh speaking of rooting, once rooted you device becomes unstable. and once rooted, there's no coming back.

Alternative to rooting: Use a mobile emulator on PC. Just as illegal, just as wrong, 100% less likely to up your phone/tablet.

oh and lastly, if Valve anti-cheat was enabled for Terraria?

Valve's anti-cheat is as effective as a chastity belt in a town full of locksmiths.

is it that useless?

Tools as basic and easy to detect as Cheat Engine can be used without Steam being aware of them.

And even if more complex methods (trainers, mods) are banned by VAC, I've been around long enough to know how crafty gamers can be when they just want to prove you can break through game protection.

so that sums it up. but wait if they were hacking weapon damage why they weren't hacking their health/mana?

Fun thing is, values which stay fixed are easier to cheat than those that constantly change.... There's less chance of the cheat being detected by protection software if it isn't constantly active (infinite health/mana would do this, constantly returning either to their max values.)

Cuz its mobile
