Mobile Important Information Regarding the Mobile Terraria 1.2.3-4 Update

[Loki]

Just to share - I've run both the "world size choice tied to device RAM" and the "can we get to PC Small world size" up the chain previously - so they are aware of the ideas.

Its more of a thing that doesn't need to be tackled at the same time as a massive content update...and even then, it becomes an ever-moving target as more content (like 1.3) could get added.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE THESE NUMBERS ARE NOT REAL THIS IS JUST AN ILLUSTRATION: So, today, your 2GB device can run medium worlds (hypothetically), but if/when 1.3 were to hit, suddenly it could only run mobile/small worlds and you would need 4GB to run medium? What happens to your existing save? Does you app not work anymore/crash? Do you not get 1.3? Etc, etc.

Not saying such a thing is impossible (I, too would love to see PC Small as the standard - which may be more possible), its just that the more you add onto that, the more you accelerate the potential future RAM stuff.

(More or less I think that is what all they have to deal with under those potential ideas - based on what I can tell - but I'm no programmer and I'm not 505/CG either)

I think they should add a choice in the next update(after 1.2.4 )for tiny (mobile size) and small options and make it so only new devices (on all platforms) get 1.3. heck I know for a fact even in tiny world my device will not handle even 1.3 mobile size worlds (712mb ram).I would love to try small worlds (PC) on at least the last update my device will probably get. I dont mind being stuck in 1.2.4 (I know alot of people will)

So, no larger worlds? I cant understand, wiki says "the world is now bigger".

Yeah and it also says renaming chests vanity slots and alot of things 505games said they are not adding. this is just a copy and paste changelog from pc and also with added speculation from editors of wiki. The wiki is not official
Edit: I swear I think I should volunteer in the wiki since people are adding things out of pure speculation (certain features that were deconfirmed are in the changelog not to mention a november release date that was never said) I feel like people just dont research properly

we cannot be sure, they said they might remake the inventory interface, which would make renaming and vanity slots possible.

i personally never trust the wiki any more, its not run by 505 or RElogic its run by the public

They did say this but in FUTURE updates

apparently demon torches spawn in giant trees (iOS and Amazon, not tested on Android). is this a Halloween feature or a bug?

Android doesn't have it ANYMORE.

 

[theozian1]

you can get android version on amazon

 

[Cels]

Amazon is Android, just from a different store.

not just that, its modified in order to fit Amazon's needs

I am one of the people who is responsible for the wikipedia editing. As I see they just copy and paste the 1.2.3-4 update Changelog from the PC version. We will edit it as soon as the official changelog is release.

Youre a horrible person

 

[theozian1]

to be incredibly fair though there is some justification since the one video that was put out for 1.2.3-4 did have pc features

yep

Notice how he said "they"

 

[Killer K]

So no larger worlds. That's sad..
