Wasn't ever guessing or assuming. Using (The possibly close to false) information from searching on Swim Goggles, I was estimating that the 1.3 update would be released from Monday-Saturday.

This need some to be seen more. The only changes I see made that may be beneficial is the favorite option for the been inventory UI, and as someone who has modified and developed game inventories before it wouldn’t be too difficult to just implement new features into the old UI. Apart from the terrible aesthetic and functionality of the new inventory, it also causes a lot of eye strain even when sitting three feet away from my tv which, by the way, is a necessity considering that the transparency of this UI makes it impossible to see anything, and this isn’t helped by the terrible and minuscule size of the HUD and general UI
Yes. This is not my world, I can’t get on a PS4 (because I don’t have one) right now. It’s chippygamings 1.3 reaction video.
Yeah, thanks - I got more detail on this later in the night and I have the detailed issue sent in. (apparently if they die and respawn the names fix themselves...and this only happens on legacy worlds)
There is almost zero chance of "just revert the old UI" - the far more likely road is "ok how can we take what is here and tweak it to cover the biggest issues that people have". Just being up front with folks on that so that we can focus on those solutions and ideas.
One of our moderators played around with this - its just not in the actual game now - its in the Sony menus. Image and steps below. This was on the new update, PS4.
It was noticed long ago - and fixed at the time. For some reason, it crept out of the weeds again. Have already asked how that came to pass.
Get used to the design of the new UI? Yeah. That doesn't mean that it cannot be tweaked or evolved around the core complaints that everyone has had. As I said in the Feedback Thread, I have a good list of complaints (and they are consistent) and ideas that folks interested in finding solutions have provided. Once the major bugs are squashed, that list will be discussed and then we will see what ideas the team decides to implement in that area from there.
Quite a bit of hyperbole there. Will just leave it at that.
That is extremely unlikely to occur. For one, as people have noted, those are two different things entirely - so its not as simple as "adding a slider" like one would for volume. Far more realistic is to take what is here and say "ok what do people dislike the most....transparency? Text size? Blinking Text? Etc....ok how can we improve this in those areas to lessen or remove those issues". Several folks have already provided some solid ideas in that space. I've been noting all of them down as we go.

Ok, thanks Loki for making it very clear we can say goodbye to the previous, superior console interface.
Maybe it was a better idea to release this update as a new (crossbuy) release with free demo instead, so people could've chosen.

(but also a PC interface which doesn't suit consoles very well...)
It would've saved you guys from all this backlash.(but also a PC interface which doesn't suit consoles very well...)

So I have a question about multiplayer looting. On expert does each player get a treasure bag or one guy gets it?

Why? If you make such drastic changes people need a choice, obviously.
Imagine any other game released a (forced) update with a complete overhauled UI (and as a bonus more slowdown/stuttering, networking issues, etc.) It would create a backlash for any other title with at least part of the costumers. Release it as DLC or a separate title with demo, and there's a choice for them to test it out and participate if they like the new experience.

I'm with @Moat here, a grid based system isn't a good fit for controllers. Look at Diablo 3 or Minecraft on consoles vs PC. When I was playing Terraria on PC I'd switch to mouse for inventory management then back to controller for actually playing. At least in the crafting system some kind of organization is needed, the big grid of all items available isn't very convenient.

I haven't seen what the new UI looks like so I wouldn't know.

So a Xbox too eh?

Then how can you say I'm being rude with my comment
It's the PC UI which doesn't work for couch play in its current state.
It reminds me of the Windows 8 fiasco (where start menu was replaced by something new). Many people complained about it and eventually Microsoft gave us back the old experience in Windows 10. Hoping the same thing will happen for Terraria console...

Well your more forceful with your Constructive criticism and it just comes off as being rude.Then how can you say I'm being rude with my comment

It would probably be a good idea if they do withdraw the submission and resubmit when the most critical bugs have been fixed. Unlike on PS4 it is very difficult/impossible to make a backup of your saves on Xbox One.

When the Xbox eventually gets the update, will there be a new thread for it or will this one be edited?

My language isn't rude at all. So on these forums I just have to post in such a way so it pleases the developers?
I don't like various things about the update (and I am not the only one). I think we're free to air out our feelings.
You got a free update to a 6 year old game. FOR FREE. Yeah, I will admit to there being issues, but the simple fact is they didn't have to do any of this and could have done what most other companies do; 'screw console gamers, we aren't gonna make any more money off of them'. But they didn't. They chose to do this to make good on their word. Be happy they are taking the feedback and are going to do something about it. Or switch to PC and have a whole different set of issues to deal with.

Apologies for the late reply, Loki. I have been playing around getting the problem to duplicate, and I have found a fairly reliable situation to cause it to happen.
What seems to work the best is messing around with the dyes for your pet and/or light pet. There's not really a set sequence of actions that cause it, but it can be anytime during changing dyes for another, removing a dye, or adding a dye to an empty slot. I have a good amount of screenshots I can share of it:
Before:
In the above, it caused all sprites to disappear completely, in some other occasions it will cause all sprites to go static, or some sprites to go static while others disappear, like so:
I couldn't recreate the sprite glitch while placing and grappling, but I found out that might have actually happened due to grappling itself also triggering this bug after dye placement:
I found two other (very small) problems while doing this as well- The first I couldn't really get a screenshot of, but it happens every time I open my first door- It will cause the highlight on all other doors to blink madly without any signs of stopping, and occasionally cause the mana bar to blink as well.
The second is kind of weird. Occasionally after my summons kill a monster, a death message will pop up with my character (Marcassan)'s name on it, although he'll be alive and well. On top of it being random, the death message will pop up as white with the hexadecimal value for what the text color should be (Which I imagine is the result of a color tag not being closed.):
If need be, I have more images of the glitches in, as well as videos for all the above-mentioned glitches (including the door one) in action if they would help.
Oh! And since I see others talking about the UI, I thought I'd put my two cents in as well- I'm pretty happy with it currently, but I do feel the opacity for inventory/chests needs to be ramped up a bit, it's hard to see what you're selecting at times. Some of the stuff is a little harder to find as well (like the section where you can turn off/check your buffs) They're just too transparent, so it's easy to pass them up without knowing it.
Hope some of this helps!

First of all I've seen posts from people just buying the game a few weeks ago, so they don't care about it being an old game. They just have a hard time to adjust to the overhauled 'experience'.
Okay, some analogy:
You got a free upgrade to your house, completely FREE of charge! Your garden is much prettier now and you can store extra stuff in your garage. However your doors now don't open as they used to (if you placed furniture on one side) and if you want to cook some food in your kitchen you have to look up recipes on wikipedia, because they snatched all your cookbooks. Also the microwave, TV and other equipment in your house have new remotes and new front panels installed and you can't make sense of them. As icing on the cake they replaced your glasses with new ones. You're now unable to read books, labels or subtitles.
Not the best analogy, I guess... but it's late for me and I hope it gives some insight in how some of us feel. Reading posts where people say their kids don't want to play anymore because it's no longer the same game, where people with not the best eye-sight complain it ruins the game for them, etc. touches me. So I hope Pipeworks listens and learns from us and makes some fundamental changes.

I would argue that by removing the in-game crafting guide they give the guide more purpose since he can tell you what certain items craft. However, with an in-game crafting guide you have a better sense of what to do next.
The analogy you made was pretty good.
