WHAT WAS OLD IS MADE NEW AGAIN - REVISITING THE TERRARIA EXPERIENCE​

Happy Monday, Terrarians and welcome to a fresh week on the road to Journey's End!

To kick off the week in style, we wanted to share one of the more impactful - but often unappreciated - aspects of Journey's End. On top of all of the shiny new content and features, the team has spent countless hours giving the entire game a thorough review across the spectrum of Balance and Aesthetics. The truth is that over time, as updates have released, some content felt "left behind", imbalanced, or it didn't feel quite "right" any more. So, we took on the arduous task of giving those things a makeover. Today's Journey's End feature article touches the surface of these efforts - read on to learn more!

FULL REBALANCE PASS ON ENEMIES AND ITEMS

​

As a part of Journey's End, the team examined and re-examined the balance of the content in the game. From start to finish, no stone was left unturned and no gear left unaccounted for. In the end, what remains is a full rebalancing of the game from top to bottom. Stats have changed, functionality has changed. There is no better time to start a fresh playthrough and experience the new Terraria for the first time! Want some more examples? Sure you do!

That's very cool stuff, but how about keybrand like the christmas tree

 

[Pokenar]

Moon lord laser is WAY easier to avoid than you're making it out to be. I didn't realize how many people relied totally on cheesy strats and gimmick arenas to beat moon lord before now, tbh. Look more closely at the picture as well. The beam is obviously stopped by the luminite ore. Just kill it once normally (which isn't as hard as people are making it out to be) and build a box out of the ore you get.

I wouldn't say "obviously", since it goes through the bricks made out of luminite and has to go through multiple ore before being stopped, but still, that is a good shout, beat it once normally and then use your ore to cheese it from then on.

 

[Firaza]

Will keybrand also get a buff? Just like the christmas tree sword feels left behind by all other frostmoon drops the same is with keybrand, it feels left behind by other post-plantera dungeon, not sure if it does or if u add it but the keybrand could maybe have an unique aoe, i had this idea in mind for a little jnder a year now, upon swinging keybrand shoots a star projectile similar to the one that appears after hitting a enemy in kingdom hearts with the kingdom key

Or upon swinging it woll do a AOE attack, eniugh stars to form a circle will start surround u they will spin a bit dealing dmg to enemies and after short time they shoot out

 

[Stainew]

the new sprites are amazing . they look so vibrant

 

[TerencePL]

Wait ... they are blinking!?!?

 

[GrazzHopper]

I hope this means golems trophy will be updated aswell!!!!

 

[yudgefudge]

Everything will be updated.
I'm mostly excited to see if any Vortex armor buff is coming!

 

[Chester The Messiah]

IM SO EXCITED, YEEEEEEEEE

ТО, ЧТО БЫЛО СТАРЫМ, СНОВА СТАНОВИТСЯ НОВЫМ-ВОЗВРАЩАЯСЬ К ОПЫТУ TERRARIA​

Счастливого понедельника, Земляне и добро пожаловать в новую неделю на дороге к концу путешествия!

Чтобы начать неделю в стиле, Мы хотели поделиться одним из наиболее впечатляющих - но часто недооцененных - аспектов конца путешествия. Помимо всего этого блестящего нового контента и функций, команда провела бесчисленные часы, давая всю игру тщательный обзор по всему спектру баланса и эстетики. Правда заключается в том, что со временем, когда обновления были выпущены, некоторые материалы чувствовали себя "оставленными", несбалансированными или они больше не чувствовали себя достаточно "правильными". Итак, мы взяли на себя трудную задачу дать этим вещам преображение. Сегодняшняя статья о конце путешествия затрагивает поверхность этих усилий-читайте дальше, чтобы узнать больше!

ПОЛНАЯ ПЕРЕБАЛАНСИРОВКА ПРОХОДИТЕ ПО ВРАГАМ И ПРЕДМЕТАМ

​

В рамках завершения путешествия команда изучила и повторно изучила баланс содержания в игре. От начала и до конца ни один камень не остался неперевернутым, и ни одно снаряжение не осталось неучтенным. В конце концов, то, что остается-это полная перебалансировка игры сверху вниз. Изменилась статистика, изменился функционал. Нет лучшего времени, чтобы начать новое прохождение и испытать новую Террарию в первый раз! Хотите еще несколько примеров? Ну конечно же!

ВРАГ И БОСС ПЕРЕБАЛАНСИРОВКА

ИЗМЕНЕНИЯ В ОРУЖИИ И БРОНЕ


Оружие / броня и другое снаряжение также были тщательно изучены. Помимо статистики, некоторые ситуации в игре требовали больше, чем просто изменения статистики, чтобы снова сделать все правильно. Итак, вы увидите некоторое оружие и классы оружия, которые имеют все новые функциональные возможности. Давайте посмотрим, хорошо?

ОСВЯЩЕННАЯ БРОНЯ
Новый Набор Бонус: Святая Защита
Знакомый большинству пользователей как Shadow Dodge, Hallowed имеет свой ранее основанный на статистике набор бонусов, замененный периодическим иммунитетом к повреждению.
При нападении на врага, вы получите бафф. Если враг ударит вас во время этого баффа, вы получите очень короткий иммунитет к урону.
После этого периода иммунитета должно пройти не менее 30 секунд, прежде чем вы сможете повторно активировать иммунитет buff.

View attachment 268859
ТИТАНОВАЯ БРОНЯ
Новый Комплект Бонус: Титановый Барьер
Когда вы атакуете врагов, титановые осколки накапливаются и вращаются вокруг вас
Эти осколки наносят урон врагам с близкого расстояния, а также наносят ответный удар.
Используйте их оборонительно, чтобы держать врагов подальше, или для смелых, агрессивно, чтобы нанести дополнительный урон.

БРОНЯ ИЗ ЗВЕЗДНОЙ ПЫЛИ
Страж звездной пыли теперь имеет более энергичную и агрессивную атаку, и он будет атаковать автоматически без подсказки. Все сходство с определенным аниме является чисто случайным.

[Прикрепить=полностью]268981 [/прикрепить]
СОЛНЕЧНАЯ БРОНЯ
Солнечная броня больше не довольствовалась тем, чтобы сидеть в задней части линии, поэтому теперь бонусный набор дает больше защиты, чем когда-либо раньше... наряду с пассивным регенеративным эффектом.
Солнечный шлем критический шанс бонус увеличился с 17% до 26%
Солнечный нагрудник бонус к урону в ближнем бою увеличился с 22% до 29%
Каждая часть комплекта теперь дает 1 HP/s regen
Вместо снижения урона на 30%, когда у вас есть заряды, часть снижения урона Солнечной брони теперь активна в любое время, причем количество увеличивается, когда у вас есть заряды щита. Это придает Солнечной броне более стойкую прочность.
Время перезарядки между зарядами щита уменьшено на 1 секунду

КАПИТАЛЬНЫЙ РЕМОНТ ГРАФИКИ


Как и в нашем обзоре баланса и механики, команда нанесла свежий слой краски на ряд вещей в Terraria. Биомы, наборы мебели, даже некоторые враги были даны макияж лечение! Черт возьми, мы даже приукрасили логотип...

Проверьте некоторые из глаз конфеты магии, которые наши художники создавали в серии до и после GIF-файлов ниже!

Пожалуйста, обратите внимание, что эта работа все еще продолжается, поэтому все, что вы видите здесь, все еще может измениться!!!

If anyone's having trouble with Moon Lord, I prescribe you with Frog Leg and Master Ninja Gear. You'll thank me later.

Just kill it once normally (which isn't as hard as people are making it out to be) and build a box out of the ore you get.

It isn't about being easier or harder, it's about removing a decent mechanic that can adds to the gameplay of game, for something not that hard - as you literally said. There are a plethora of ways to cheese it, and way better than putting some blocks in order to avoid the ray or it's damage, why one mechanic that makes sense is being removed instead of less intuitive and more cheesy ones is my point. The change doesn't seem to do virtually anything but remove something, which could also be solved in several other ways.

what a fantastic update! can you do something for the cobalt mythril and adamantite armour? they suck compared to the alternate

 

[Pokenar]

what a fantastic update! can you do something for the cobalt mythril and adamantite armour? they suck compared to the alternate

I'm fine with Cobalt and Mythril, though maybe higher numbers, if they want to keep one set of ores a generic bonus and the other set a unique bonus, but Adamantite only having a movement speed boost just doesn't cut it anymore. Even with Titanium's nerf, it still trounces Adamantite due to this. I'm not asking them to be equal, as the newer set of ores are supposed to be better, but I'm asking for a better set bonus on Adamantite so its not AS bad.

 

[Prime Logos]

Please tell me that 1.4 will have a pre installed texture pack that is basically programmer's art like in minecraft since I'm not too keen on the new textures and like the old ones better.

 

[IndigoRage]

I'm fine with Cobalt and Mythril, though maybe higher numbers, if they want to keep one set of ores a generic bonus and the other set a unique bonus, but Adamantite only having a movement speed boost just doesn't cut it anymore. Even with Titanium's nerf, it still trounces Adamantite due to this. I'm not asking them to be equal, as the newer set of ores are supposed to be better, but I'm asking for a better set bonus on Adamantite so its not AS bad.

They should be a lot closer to equal though. The prehardmode alternates are only slightly better. (Though Platinum pick being able to mine a higher level of tile than gold is stupid). In Hardmode the alternate totally blow the original ores out of the water. I know alternates were added for more variety, but having them be just complete upgrades that make the originals trash is a bit much. They definitely should have unique abilities. Either that or give them a stat bonus that makes it worth using them.

 

[Fornax]

I think changes to what has been established are going to be the main seller point for me in this update, when I'll be finally able to play it I'll probably just try to find old stuff with new textures and just stare at them for minutes and scream out of excitement.

 

[JuicyMeats]

This is amazing. Absolutely amazing.

Isn't the shortsword overhaul from the Overhaul mod? Thanks for bringing shortswords back to life!
