Is there anyway the crafting UI being updated or changed? It's been a few years since they changed it to match PC and I haven't played it since honestly. I don't find it fun having to remember crafting recipes nor do I find it a fun gameplay loop to constantly run to the guide so I can remember how to craft something. Especially being someone who hasn't played in years. Every time I see the game has an update I hop on to check it out and see if anythings been changed, but never the case. Are we just going to be stuck with a more PC friendly ui on a console? I really love the game and I hardly ever have a huge enough problem with small things like this , but it honest to god keeps me from playing the game and I really want to play it, but it isnt enjoyable at all having to run to the guide for every little thing or looking it up online. It doesn't have too be the old crafting ui at all, but can it just be more user friendly? There doesn't feel like a good enough reason to have it cut down so much. Can't the crafting just be on a page of its own and be expanded? Why does it even need the be the same on both PC and console? That's not the way it is for Minecraft I don't recall. Which is kinda similar lol terraria in a sense, it anyways yeah. Long time terraria fan, but not a fan in the slightest with the ui..
it’s honestly heartbreaking. it’s also kinda interesting that people are talking about keyboard/mouse support for console... if the original console UI hasn’t been changed, there would be absolutely no need for keyboard/mouse support
I don’t know... there honestly isn’t anyone who can say that the PC UI on console isn’t problematic.
I truly don’t get why it’s swept under the rug as much as it is.
I can tell you that anyone who I’ve run into on PlayStation Network that played pre 1.3 Terraria, absolutely does not like the PC UI at all. They all rave about the old console UI. I also believe it’s the reason the Terraria community on console has deteriorated in a way the PC fan base hasn’t. It’s simply too much of a hassle.
I just don’t quite understand why the devs are so against reverting the UI - or even talking about it. Or even just making a new one. Yeah, I know it’s not easy to just come up with a new UI. But the old one was honestly good as it was. The players loved it. And now - at least for PS4 -I wouldn’t call it unplayable - but pretty close. I’ve barely played it since 1.3 came out. And i sunk many hours into the PC version before the console edition on PS3 came out.
I tried really hard to get into it after 1.3. So much. I was looking forward to all the new content but I could barely play the game.
I played Terraria on PS3 the other day. It’s kinda crazy that it plays sooo much better than the current PS4 version. I really wish I could downgrade my PS4 version. But I assume that’s impossible without the physical disk.
I just really wish that the state of the console UI would be taken seriously. Nothing really has been done about it despite complaints for the past three years.
I always preferred Terraria over Minecraft - but even Minecraft now has cross platform and has complete synchronization with each platform, allows multiple UI’s that are console friendly. With every craftable item even being searchable along with the recipe with ingredients needed.
I would prefer that over Journeys End.
Or just the option for the old console UI to be usable on all platforms. At least give people the option to choose.
it would be quite literally one of the best quality of life decisions for the game. At least, for console. :/
