I honestly don't like the idea of fishing in shimmer, but if it's ever implemented it should at least be in a way that makes sense.
Kind of like this

I'll note that this is already what happens. I agree it only makes sense with a special shimmer fishing rod. Maybe a use for all the extra golden fishing rods I sell.

Honestly, I was quite shocked and confused for a good while, as to why this was so controversial at the time [i.e. Devs doubling-down], when it seemed pretty obvious... at least to me and a few others. I was personally never gonna stop bringing it up, even at the cost of popularity, because that item, at least to me, symbolized a possible trend of "overstepping", that might continue until it was 'too late'. Thankfully something happened that gave everyone a change-of-heart and the issue was properly addressed.
My same worry goes into the newer Whips being added, on top of the buffs to Sentries and access to Minions that was already added. I honestly don't see a reason or need for them, Summoner Class doesn't appear to be lacking in power or functionality, so why... is the question I often ask. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
Side Note: I guess a good question I have that most would also find interesting is, what tier will the Whips for BoC/ EoW be, pre-Jungle, post-Jungle? There was a time I was certain that most Players would consider Jungle Gear to be post BoC/ EoW, but by how much, I don't know, it was a very delicate balance. Two Whips being so close in power-level for Summoner just seems... weird to me, but who knows, maybe it'll all make sense in then end?

The new Twins music is good, but I feel like it doesn't fit the Twins particularly well. The Twins are a pretty frantic and high-energy fight considering there are two of them and they both move and attack pretty fast, but the music is deep and slow. I think the Destroyer would be a better fit for it, being a bigger, simpler boss with higher raw health and damage. Skeletron Prime or an event even would also work pretty well, but I think the Twins need something faster.

I was worried that I would stick to Terra Blade forever in my recent melee run, but the moment I discovered Flying Dragon's raw power, I dropped Terra Blade almost instantly. Moon Lord stood no chance. Hope it doesn't get nerfed.
Justice for Golem Fist though.

The Destroyer
Yeah, Flying Dragon OP. It was the second weapon I used in my Golem Fist playthrough.
(I started with Golem Fist.)

Terrarian
You're right, I did forget flying dragon. The funny thing is part of why it stands out is because of how similar it is to the new Terra Blade but with higher base damage-
A shame I forgot too since Tier 3 OOA was the first thing I did straight away after beating Golem in my Legendary mode run.

You are doing great job guys, it's nice to see that my favourite game developing in such a great way! Unfortunately i can't buy a license to support you, but i'll support you with my wordsGreetings Terrarians!
Back to school time already? Whether you are already back, heading back, or glad to have school way back in your personal rear-view mirror; there is always time for the latest Terraria news! Our teams have been working feverishly all month, adding new goodies to the game and balancing and fixing what already exists. Beyond that, we saw three product launches in the month of August - busy times! You will definitely want to dive deep into this State of the Game, as there is a good bit of juicy and important information to cover. Fall is right around the corner, and it is one of our favorite times of the year. Who knows, maybe we will see a return of the always-popular Terraria Halloween Contest...
Without further ado, shall we get right into all things Terraria?

TERRARIA 1.4.5 - TUNES, TIME, AND NEW ADDITIONS
The team playthrough has come and gone. I don't think anyone will soon forget their time in The Mad Realm of Boulders! Fun was had, TONS of notes were taken, and the benefits of this playthrough are already being seen in the work on Terraria 1.4.5.
Speaking of time, we have an update on timing for everyone. As we started to check off what work remained on the update, we realized that we would really have been remiss to not cover off some long-standing needs for new music. That's right, Terrarians, the 1.4.5 update will contain several new music tracks by our favorite composer, Scott Lloyd Shelly! How many exactly is still a bit to-be-determined, but we are anticipating at least 5 and maybe more! Want to check one of them out? Of course you do!
So, all that said, we mentioned an impact on timing - the production of all of these new tracks takes a good amount of time in composition, review, editing, etc. We are not going to rush Scott while he works on the latest in a long line of Terraria musical masterpieces. So, that means the update is going to take a bit longer to come out than we had originally anticipated. Now, before anyone gets too upset... the team realized that if we are having to wait on this music anyway, why not just keep the update development moving on our end and add even more goodies?!
What all will that entail? Well you will have to wait and see - but we have some pretty substantial ideas. How much we can get done will depend on how long the music takes. We are pretty confident everyone will be very happy with what we have in store and will feel like this was extra time well-spent. Can't show you too much too soon, though, so it will all be a mystery for now.

Oh, who are we kidding, you knew we were going to show something new. Are we sure it is safe to sit on this Aetherium Furniture, much less build a whole house using it?!
Anyway, we expect this extension to be in the scope of a few months at least - we will give a timeline as we get closer. In the meantime, rest assured that everyone will get a LOT more out of 1.4.5 than you ever expected.

This month has flown by - with the release of 1.4.4 tModLoader at the start of August came a whole batch of mod updates and hot fixes. We hope you've been enjoying the 1.4.4 era of tModLoader! We are quite happy with how well the transition went from 1.4.3 to 1.4.4 tModLoader - it was so smooth we could call it a success! That said, if you are having issues of any sort, definitely don't hesitate to check out our FAQ on github or reach out to us at our Discord.
As August comes to an end, we feel we are finally nearing cruising altitude and a return to normal scheduled updates. We have some exciting changes coming in September - including a Mod Browser Revamp... and still more improvements we've been wanting to make on the horizon while we set ourselves up for the future.
As always, we kindly request that we all respect modders' time and not hassle them about porting to 1.4.4. We are greatly impressed at seeing over 85% of all mods by subscriber count have ported to 1.4.4, but we continue to ask to please be respectful of those that have not. Thank you for your understanding.

TERRARIA - THE BOARD GAME DESIGNER DIARY
View attachment 423703
Here we are again with the latest "Designer Diary" entry from the lead designer for Terraria: the Board Game - Chris Kingsworth. Let's see what he and the Paper Fort team have been up to over the last month!
---
Chris here, game developer at Paper Fort Games. I’m back with the next installment of the Terraria: The Board Game designer diary. This month’s topics; how can we capture the sandbox feeling of Terraria on the tabletop, and what can we offer that can only be achieved in the physical world? Enjoy!
Freedom to Choose
Terraria is a game all about choice. If you want to run all the way to the ocean, you can (we’ve all done it!). Want to build a Hellevator? Go for it. Fancy mining every block in the world, or building beautiful things? No problem! With this in mind, it wouldn’t be right to design a board game that dictates exactly what you have to do. Instead, you’ll have control over how you play.
You’ll be able to choose the objectives for each playthrough, all of which reflect achievements in the digital game. Complete lots of easy-to-achieve tasks, like surviving your first night or building your first house, or defeat bosses for big points and fantastic loot! Alternatively, aim somewhere in the middle; spawn every NPC or mine every block within a biome.
On your turn, freedom of choice will be reinforced by a flexible action point system. This isn’t a game where cards dictate exactly what you have to do. Using your starting equipment, you’ll be able to dig, chop and stab. Want to run over to that tree, chop it down, zip over to a slime and stab it? If you’ve got the action points to do it, you can! You can spend your points how you like; whether that’s on a single endeavour or a variety of tasks. As you upgrade your equipment, the efficiency of your action points will increase. Perhaps you’ve forged an iron axe to replace your copper one; now you can dig more quickly and mine more efficiently.
Modular Miniatures and the ‘Advent Calendar’
We realize that we’re asking you to play a board game when you have the digital game at your fingertips, so let’s talk about things we can do in the physical world that aren’t achievable digitally. One of the reasons we hope you’re excited to play Terraria: The Board Game is the boss ‘advent calendar’.
Bosses are a big event in the videogame and we want to mirror that in the tabletop game. In the box you’ll find a number of doors. Each door will display spawn criteria for a different boss. For example, each time you kill a slime, you’ll be a step closer to the appearance of King Slime. When you hit the spawn threshold, you’ll open the door and find a modular boss miniature, with rules for an epic boss battle. As you fight, you’ll remove pieces of the miniature to track boss damage and reflect other status effects.
Here’s an example of one of these miniatures; our WIP sculpt for the Wall of Flesh:
We’re really looking forward to sharing more of these with you!
Next Month
As I mentioned last month, we’re passionate about Terraria and its players. We’re here to do the best we can and we want to bring you along for the journey by keeping you updated on what we’re doing; that’s one of the aims of the designer diary. In the next instalment, I’ll talk about world generation and deckbuilding in Terraria: The Board Game.

Complete lots of easy-to-achieve tasks, like surviving your first night or building your first house, or defeat bosses for big points and fantastic loot! Alternatively, aim somewhere in the middle; spawn every NPC or mine every block within a biome.
On your turn, freedom of choice will be reinforced by a flexible action point system. This isn’t a game where cards dictate exactly what you have to do. Using your starting equipment, you’ll be able to dig, chop and stab. Want to run over to that tree, chop it down, zip over to a slime and stab it? If you’ve got the action points to do it, you can! You can spend your points how you like; whether that’s on a single endeavour or a variety of tasks. As you upgrade your equipment, the efficiency of your action points will increase. Perhaps you’ve forged an iron axe to replace your copper one; now you can dig more quickly and mine more efficiently.
Modular Miniatures and the ‘Advent Calendar’
We realize that we’re asking you to play a board game when you have the digital game at your fingertips, so let’s talk about things we can do in the physical world that aren’t achievable digitally. One of the reasons we hope you’re excited to play Terraria: The Board Game is the boss ‘advent calendar’.
Bosses are a big event in the videogame and we want to mirror that in the tabletop game. In the box you’ll find a number of doors. Each door will display spawn criteria for a different boss. For example, each time you kill a slime, you’ll be a step closer to the appearance of King Slime. When you hit the spawn threshold, you’ll open the door and find a modular boss miniature, with rules for an epic boss battle. As you fight, you’ll remove pieces of the miniature to track boss damage and reflect other status effects.
Here’s an example of one of these miniatures; our WIP sculpt for the Wall of Flesh:
We’re really looking forward to sharing more of these with you!
Next Month
As I mentioned last month, we’re passionate about Terraria and its players. We’re here to do the best we can and we want to bring you along for the journey by keeping you updated on what we’re doing; that’s one of the aims of the designer diary. In the next instalment, I’ll talk about world generation and deckbuilding in Terraria: The Board Game.

An Idea I have for rangers is that you could be able to dedicate an ammunition variant to specific guns\bows (i.e ichor arrows for a repeater and holy arrows for the storm bow/chlorophyte bullets for the tactical shotgun and cursed bullets for the sniper rifle) and you could maybe right click the ammo with the weapon you want it to be dedicated to or drag the ammo and right click on the weapon. Also you could add a little graphic on the hotbar with the weapon that show what kind of ammo is being used.
