idk where you got the "blue" part from, but in console and mobile, the character does indeed produce a tiny amount of light around them, whereas in pc, the area around the character is pitch black if there are no torches or anything.
think of it like when you explore a cave in a pokemon game that requires you to use the flash move
Actually I notice it to that small amount of light you have is a faint blue/aqua color in certain areas while underground

BUT you won't notice it unless you look REALLY hard
 
Everyone, remember to keep posts about the 1.3 console update and not debating about whether or not the player's light will be ported. But since i'm on this thread, let's gather info on what we know about 1.3 console so far.
Splitscreen is to be ported, the trailer shows no info about the console-exclusives, still planning a Q2 release, alpha testing should have commenced by now and the PC codebase is to be ported.
Those are just the main things we know so far.

I'm of the opinion that discussion of what features will make it into the 1.3 update is still on topic.

That said, I'm thinking any balance changes that were made to the game before are probably going away. Some of that would include the map being fully revealed, the player's internal light source, and doors automatically opening and closing for the players.

I believe the 3DS Terraria Game is a card, not on the store (could be wrong) in which case no, Games on Game Cards cannot be updated.

No release date for 1.3.5 on PC has been announced. Chippy is speculating on information given by tweets and other clues from Re-Logic, as he often does.

There is an electronic version that can be downloaded from the Nintendo eShop. There have been minor updates (bug fixes/some new features for N3DS); both the cart and e-versions can be updated.

2DS/3DS is barely 1.2.0 as it is, and is already straining to run that. I would guess that it unlikely to get much more in the way of updates. There should some official news in the coming weeks about the fate of that platform.
 
not wisp not orb not item at all. Just light coming from character that needs to be removed.

If I read it correctly, BIO states that the wisp is just light coming from the character. I know that the character produces a minimal amount of light (because i can still see my character in deep caves with no light source) I was just replying to this guy.
 
Can't wait to play some terraria with my little brother when this comes out, he will be so excited :D

Still waiting for an update here.

Me too! I would love to hear from the devs and pipework on how they are doing so far with the update (been waiting at least 8 months for sure for this update)

Don't forget Pipeworks are probably under NDA for 1.3 info, there's probably a date and time of when they can talk about / release further info about the 1.3 update to the public

It's just a case of hurry up and wait atm :)
 
whats an NDA?

Quoted from the internets:
"A Non-disclosure agreement (NDA), also known as a confidentiality agreement (CA), confidential disclosure agreement (CDA), proprietary information agreement (PIA), or secrecy agreement (SA), is a legal contract between at least two parties that outlines confidential material, knowledge, or information that the parties wish to share with one another for certain purposes, but wish to restrict access to or by third parties."

The two parties being Re-Logic and Pipeworks and the third party being us, the public

Its basically an agreement which keeps certain info private until X amount of time has passed or [insert other stipulation here] has been satisfied as well as protecting IP ( intellectual property )

NDA's are used a lot in the gaming industry to protect developers and their employers / clients / partners

Okay, I am really annoyed about getting the update news about the 1.3 :mad::dryadmad::merchantmad::nursemad:`:mad:~o_O especially news about what's going on mobile.

What news are you seeking? Timing? I have not heard of any changes from the previous timing they gave. As for "what it will look like on mobile", I assume we will start seeing that once Console is out of the door and into the hands of those players.
