All I want is expert mode >.< then I will be happy...
oh and I disagree about the posting so often and transparancy. I think they are posting correctly and if problems pop up the last minute, oh well! better waiting another month or so to get a good update, then getting one with problems that would possibly crash the game even more or corrupt it. Is it frustrating? yes of course... we all hate to wait xD but sometimes things happen, and I support the fact that they delay an aproximate date to fix things... but that's just my humble opinion.
(please bring expert mode to us n.n)
 
Kindly link me to the sources where 505Games said these exact words, please.

I will assume you are referring to this. If you read it carefully, they don't give any promise or guarantee of a completion date, a submission date, a release date. They list plans, schedules and projections which they believed to be accurate at the time. Just because time passes, issues crop up, and plans/schedules/projections change doesn't mean they broke any promises or told any untruths.

They also give no promises or guarantees in the opening post of this thread; 505Games has always been careful to NOT do that, in my experience with them in this community. They give news when they have it, and when they don't have news they don't waste time blowing smoke. If people want to call that non-communication or lack of transparency, then they can think what they want - nothing I say is going to change that.


Do you really think they just stopped working on it? Really?

No software company has any obligation to produce weekly/daily/hourly/on-demand updates or 'behind the scenes' information, and very, very few do.


Vitriol much there TK? Sheesh.
 
Hello Terrarians!

We would like to share the latest on the Console and Mobile side of Terraria development. There is a lot of information to share today, including some GREAT news on the mobile side! We can't thank you enough for your patience and continued support while we work to bring fixes and new content to consoles and mobile devices.

3DS

As you know, the Frost Moon update launched a couple of weeks ago in Europe, but we identified a nasty multiplayer bug that we quickly fixed and resubmitted to both NOE and NOA. At the same time, we pulled the American update before it went out so that we limited exposure to that bug. Well, we have good news to report - Terraria 3DS v1.03 (Frost Moon Update + Multiplayer Bug Fix) is set to release in Europe on June 10, with the American release to follow soon after (we'll update as soon as we have confirmation on the American date). You can refer back to this post to see what is coming to 3DS along with more save slots!


index.php

MOBILE

iOS & Google Play

This update brings Extra Save Slots and a "Save Backup" Function to Mobile Terraria! Beyond doubling your existing number of save slots for worlds and characters, this long-desired feature will allow you to copy worlds and characters (like you can on PC, for example) - allowing you to create regular backups of your most important saves. We hope this will help lessen the sting in the event that you run into some nasty issue that messes up your worlds or characters! In addition, this new functionality will allow players to do things like moving save files from device A to device B using the cloud.

Save Slots
  • Characters: Players will now have access to 6 Local and 6 Cloud save slots
  • Worlds: Players will now have access to 6 Local and 3 Cloud save slots
  • These save slots are available for use with the new Backup Function and/or to create new Characters and Worlds - it will be entirely up to you in regards to how you choose to use them!

Backup Function
For further clarity, this will allow players to make a copy of any existing local or cloud file to any other open cloud or local save slot that they have. For example:
  • Local - Local
  • Local - Cloud
  • Cloud - Local

These will all now be possible for the file safety of our players and for their convenience when moving between devices.

The update is in the final stages of QA and if everything goes well, we will submit it this next week (or potentially 6/13, depending on any back and forth on minor issues).

Windows Phone

We have at long last resolved the universal crashing issue for Windows Phone – with a few exceptions noted below (please read)!

IMPORTANT NOTES FOR WINDOWS PHONE USERS
  • The Lumia 640 LTE still has a 100% crash bug that we have been trying to crack for literally months now, with no success. Until such point as that is resolved (if ever), we would advise anyone with a Lumia 640 LTE to not purchase the game.
  • UPDATE: Some overnight news for our WP players - we have continued working on a fix for the Lumia 640 LTE...and we think we finally had a breakthrough. We have tested it all morning long and are no longer experiencing the crashes we were before (which were easy to find, since they occurred on startup). As a result, we are removing the Lumia 640 LTE from our list of devices with known critical issues!
  • The update is working well on devices that have at least 1GB of RAM. The team is working to lower that threshold to 512MB currently, but we are definitely seeing performance issues below 1GB, so we cannot guarantee as to whether or not this will be possible on every 512MB device. Rest assured that we will try our best here – but we did want to share that note of caution.

All of that said, our current plan – barring any last minute critical issues – is to put this into final QA the rest of this week and then submit to Microsoft for approval next week. We know this has been a long and painful road for our WP players – one that has hopefully close to its conclusion.



We are in very final QA here on the update (literally waiting on a couple of people we know to have had issues in the past to loop back to us) and then we will be submitting the update to Amazon for approval!

This update will at long last bring the 1.2.3-4 content that other mobile users received at the end of 2015 to our Amazon players – along with all of the bug fixes that we have rolled out over the past few months AND expanded worlds. Once we have this build out and stable, we will get to work on bringing the extra saves and backup functionality to Amazon – we could have waited, but that would have required further delays to getting you guys the huge pile of content that you have been eagerly awaiting.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please Review THIS THREAD for previously-announced information regarding the need to migrate your Amazon cloud saves prior to the update (if you use cloud saving).

CONSOLE

About a month ago, we updated you on the forthcoming update for console Terraria, which will bring the game in line with PC 1.2.4, adding in the highly anticipated missing content. The good news is we’re coming to the end of this work. Per-platform updates as follows:

PS3, PS4, and Vita:

The patch candidates are in with QA, and are looking good. We’ve got no issues that would block submission currently, and if that’s still the case by Friday we’ll submit for Sony approval this week. Providing we don’t hit any last minute issues, we’ll be out by June 17th, or hopefully sooner. We’ll confirm the date once we’re Sony approved.

Xbox One and Xbox 360:

The Xbox versions are a couple of days behind the Sony ones, owing to a problem with the X360 to X1 save game transfer, which is now resolved. We’ll do our best to get this out the same time as the PlayStation patches, but it’s possible this will follow the week after. Again, we’re not able to confirm a date until Xbox approves the patch. Stay tuned!

Wii U:

The disc version will release on June 26th in Europe and June 28th for North America. The eShop digital version will release on June 16th. There will be a day 1 patch for both versions, of approximately 50mb. Not massive, but just a heads up. At launch, the Wii U version will be *slightly* behind the other console versions (it doesn’t have all of the content that’s added in the June patch on the other platforms) but we plan to issue a ‘catch-up’ patch in due course.

Thanks as always for your continued support and feedback! Stay tuned for updates and confirmations as each of these moves on the next/final steps. :)
Ugh i just want Terraria 1.3 for Mobile version
 
Now this is some good news! I haven't played Mobile in a while thanks to some bugs with character selection. This update will fix those bugs AND add 3 new save slots! Keep up the good work, 505Games!
:cool:
 
Why are you guys all complaining? You got your updates like you wanted. You have the ability to go fishing and fight duke fishron. You guys get to have bigger, less crowded worlds. Do you know what amazon users have had for the last six months? A big pile of nothing. No new stuff, no fishron, no NOTHING. To be honest, the amazon users are acting better than everyone. Most of them have showed patience the whole time. So why don't you just stop complaining and see it from the viewpoint of amazon users. It is probably the most bug filled platform for Terraria. So, just calm yourselves. I know a lot of you are angry about time frames and 505 not answering all the time, but at least show some patience. The update will come soon. Also, 505 is a company, which means it probably has more important things to do, like i don't know, Working on Terraria updates. So cut 505 some slack.

Console|Ps4
If "Like we wanted" mean delayed buggy and unfinished yes it was like we wanted. Now we wait for something we should get half year ago.
Mobile|Android|Google play
Everything is fine except terrible controls that make mobile version unplayable so it could be nice to get controller support.
Edit:
None at all. Just facts.

Easy for you to say. At least you COULD play. Most people with the Windows Phone version who got the update got an unplayable game. We've had a game that does nothing but crash at start-up for the past seven or so months. Everyone has a right to complain for a product they purchased and underperforms, and I'm not going to tell you you can't because my lot had it worse.

Thank you ACGgaming! Although I'm on console just waiting patiently for that sweet update, messing with experiments in my world, I just knew the community were going wild. When you stepped in ( Am I'm sure others like you did too ) you just supported 505 showing very few of us were just being selfish or just want consoles to be prioritized. Amazon really needs some fixing up though, more than us, but that's just my opinion.

EDIT: And Mobile. Just try to be patient guys and girls on Mobile, and everyone just cross your fingers for that update.

I was patient for more than a year so how patient i need to be? As soon is i discovered visible accessories i started waiting and being patient until i discovered this forum and release date for 1.2.4 for consoles in q4 2015.
 
See I don't mind these predictions, I just want more consistent posts about what's going on behind the scenes. I understand that delays happen, I just want to know why and get some reassurance that they're still working on them.

No other publishing company that I've followed has been this shut out about their updates. It's really weird.
I know. Its very annoying

Why? Why is everyone fighting mentally, ik that most peeps want 1.3, but I bet ya don't have a brain in ya. Give them time to do there stuff. I have Terraria on my PC and I've been patient all the way and it will be exciting to experience what Android / IOS users have. So let's have some cookies and let's chill on the forums. Have a Wonderful Day!

(Them? I mean 505 and Codeglue)
 
continuing a pointless argument
Let's just stop the arguing about who had to wait longer - it's pointless. This is directed to EVERYONE.

A lot of people are unhappy about the delays - WE GET IT. It's not a contest to see who has had to wait the longest.
Ohh no it won't stop because administrators, moderators and whoever else on this forum tell us to "be more patient" forgetting we was patient for far too long and the fact that patient have its end like update development(Except terraria console updates).

I know but if you look at my last post you'll see why I was so angry. At least you've got PC so you can't complain
