While I was going from town to town, a slime hit a guard. He arrested me for it. Wat?
Personally, I think that and form of fast travel in the game, you should have to pay something for it. Also, the more convenient, the more you should need to earn it. So, like, if you could summon a Djinn to whisk you off on a magic cloud, you should have to complete a quest for the item to summon them, and make them an offering for their help (reimplement fallen stars, and make it the currency of the spirits).
I don't really think strange plants should be foraged, though. They're used as decoration in too many places. A way to get access to dyes would be nice, though.
"Timeless Telescope" sounds like an interesting mechanic for a dungeon later, but we don't even know the direction they're going in with the story and quests, yet.
Also, just since you mentioned the Angler - am I the only one that thinks that just getting a lot of fishing XP for the angler quests is lame?
EDIT: Final Thought - I finally
finished (almost finished and then uninstalled STW out of sheer disgust) the temple of Ra. Screw the temple of Ra. Screw whoever made it. Screw whoever tested it. Screw whoever
thought of it. I said before it was brutal. Screw me too. That's not "brutal", that's cruel. It's unfair, it's aggravating, it's unnecessarily punishing... What it is
not is "fun". That is possibly the single most un-fun thing I have ever experienced in a videogame -
AND I WAS CHEATING! I
had to cheat, because there is no
[REDACTED] way in
[REDACTED] that I am
ever doing that legit. I don't play Terraria for parkour. I don't like parkour at the best of times and Terraria physics are wonky on top of it. I
most certainly do not play Terraria for
hardcore parkour, and brutal parkour around instant death traps with the game mode locked to Expert and its extra-long respawn timer is just
right the
[REDACTED] out, let alone multiple gruelling screens of the same! Screw
that!
What I'm saying is, at present, the Temple of Ra
alone negates
literally all other positive aspects of STW and ruins the whole thing for me.
