Once you are far enough from the boss, the "tongue" debuff won't affect you, even if you are behind the wall of flesh. You can see this if you go back to continue fighting it after dieing. The only real problem with the wall of flesh is it only de-spawns when it reaches the end of the world. Also, this might lead to a bit of confusion when using the compass.

An idea to consider.

More than that, how do you express a map of a round world? Would the map wrap and move according to your position? This would be very hard to code in all the changes required and would cause far more nuisances than it could prevent, and from Starbound I find that a wrapping round map makes the world seem puny and repetitive. I am unsure about this idea.

Oh crap. You forgot about projectiles. Quite a few go forever.

Honestly.. This isn't a problem.. just imagine cutting the ocean in half then calculate from there... not that much effort...
Also, this wouldn't be too bad to code, It shouldn't cause too many problems.
And... I understand where people are coming from with the world being a terrarium, but... even if they added a thing where if you walk to the right, held right and the screen fades to black, teleports you to the other side, then fades back in, This would also be easier to code.
[DOUBLEPOST=1429041673][/DOUBLEPOST]Here is a picture I threw together!! I smoothed the cut that I made a little, without taking too much of my time, so excuse the lack of effort, I'm very busy with coding lately, as I am taking 2 programming classes right now. Anyways... here is the picture!
Let me know what you think!

nope all projectiles have a times, when it runs out the projectile despawns. althrough on most projectiles the timer is so long it's unnoticeable

I don't like this idea. It doesn't make sense to me. Also I am wondering how far boulders would go, if you had a large flat part of land you could get them running a ridiculous distance and have a very cheap boss fight.

Good thing it's a rectangle and not a square.

What the heck are you talking about? The world isn't actually round with a center of gravity. It just loops when you reach the edge of the world.

It makes sense if you imagine the world as a planet that you can circumnavigate, but that's the part of this idea that I dislike since it would mean the world of Terraria is just a small world instead of a small island on a huge planet.

Exactly, I like the idea of it being a large world that you can explore. Granted it's one island at a time but still.

He means that you could just flatten the world in some areas, get some boulders, roll em, and they would loop endlessly, dealing damage the whole way.

Okay thats kind of ridiculous and I doubt that would ever be a problem. Worst case scenery, you deal a couple hundred damage to a boss. So what?

Or you create an arena where nothing lives for more than 5 seconds, or you figure out where the bosses will be and have hundreds of damage done constantly without effort.

Rocks are much cheaper and bypass armor.
SnailsAttack
Dungeon Spirit
Yes, but 60-150 is near nothing to most bosses. And imagine if a player fell there. Also, on a fact similar to that, who is going to flatten out an area big enough so that boulders will roll around the entire world?

I never said anything about that either. Don't put words in my mouth.
