Terraria State of the Game - January 2025

[Someone that needs help]

PC had to wait over 3 years for 1.4 and we’re barely over 2 for this one (and honestly the amount of content looks comparable in size if you check just jow long the list of every spoiler is, you could probably slap the 1.5 label onto this update without delaying it further at all, no need to add bosses every 1.X update.) so I’m not sure what’s different this time.

And console had to wait two more years.

The wait for 1.4 on console was a little less than 2 years that’s what I’m talking about?

Correct, the gap between console 1.3.5 and console 1.4 was 1 year and 5 months. The gap between PC 1.3.5 and PC 1.4 was 3 years and 1 month.
I was less asking you specifically what changed and wondering why the community at large is more impatient this time. Probably shouldn’t have quoted you there, sorry.

Oh ok, yeah I was just talking bout how I kinda lost the excitement to play

I heard red deleted their twitter and moved to bluesky, what is up with that?

I’m not particularly trying to take a stance, but the things I’ve seen on that site makes me feel irresponsible for using it to communicate with our players.

I find it strange that somehow bluesky is better? why delete twitter? why not use both? and what is so irresponsible about using it? what things has he seen that make it worse than bluesky? I hav a friend that uses bluesky and they said they seen more stuff they would call "turbo illegal" on BS than Twit, and I am quite concerned, many questions, vague answers.

Or because Twitter is a cesspit which Red just doesn't bother anymore.

• Fix the moon lord socket cheese
• Make it so the destroyer despawns if you are too far away from it
• Make it so plantera will only despawn if you're farther away
• Make plantera shoot out spiky balls in phase 2 and possibly other projectiles
• I think queen slime is a pretty good boss, maybe her loot is too powerful for pre-mech? I don't think that's a problem with the boss fight itself though.
• Make golem enrage outside of the temple
• Never fought deerclops in normal progression so idk about him

The bosses I do think need overhauls though are fishron and EoL, their attacks are just too predictable. Fishron ruins progression because it's easy enough to kill pre-mech, and the EoL just straight isn't a fun fight, it's just memorising patterns with a ton of leeway. Maybe add an Ice Queen-esque random bullet hell attack to fishron that's hard to avoid and would make killing it pre-mech much harder? Or make the empress of light summon gastropods or something so you have to avoid their random lazer spam too.

I don't want to sound negative but
.I think that the ML cheese is removed since ML ignores I-frames given to the player from other means besides the ML. Only other cheese is in lower difficulties with super high regen.
.In most cases, you don't try to recall or teleport away from the Destroyer. You only do this if you want to cheese it.
.Honestly, Plantera should never despawn until you die to make luring her to your arena much easier.
.Honestly, I agree with that. Why doesn't it shoot out balls.
. She drops 1 weapon and an alright armor set. Summoner's Early Hardmode lifeblood is dependent on the Blade staff. You could go for sanguine, but who does BM fishing? I know whe drops and amazing mount for vertical movement, but that is the only thing it does.
.The logistics of that would be kind of hard to do, but it does make sense.
.Deerclops is my favorite boss, but I would remove the random Shadow Hands and Slow debuff in exchange for the Winter's Feast laser and more attacks using Shadow Hands.

FIrst of all. both Fishron and EoL are not easy. They are supposed to be difficult side objectives that reward the player memorizing patterns with amazing loot. Fishron being pre mech is intentional design, for people who want to go out of their way for good loot. EoL is SUPPOSED to have a pattern, since getting the Terraprisma with a totally random attack set would be 10x harder. I can see how a sorta bullet hell would work with these bosses, though. Here are ideas for that:
Fishron: Creates two massive Cthulunados beside the player, which begin to fire Sharkrons that ignore gravity. Reminiscent of phase 3 Infernum Hive Mind or Perforators.
EoL: She is already a bullet hell boss, but here it is: She disappears, and light beams telegraph powerful blasts from the sky.

Hello, this is for the team, for the past year i ask to red is was posible make a new accesorie combined the others 2 ballons for the other tree of craft we have already in the game, and. . . if make other ballon reference to the fire and be part of the craft too.

I was just playing with my friends and there are number of times when we are about to fight a boss, I always have to create a new respawn point where I make a room, with walls and a bed in it to set out new spawn point. while its not really annoying to build, its just a hassle to remove when you are done with it (expecially during a skeletron fight) cuz a box house on a corned of a dungeon is kinda... off

But recently, in a new beta test of a game I recently discovered, Monster Hunter, I found out that you can now create a portable camp in a middle of nowhere where you respawn there instead when you fall during your hunts (you can kinda see where Im going with this)

when I found out about Monster Hunter camps, it made me aware why the tents in terraria don't have other purpose aside from being a decoration? I should be able to at least sleep in it eh?

I found similar mods with this feature but it would be nice if we could just place one of these badboys in vanilla terraria
And it should be a "temporary" spawn point, where your spawn point returns to the previous bed that you set before when you finally decide to remove your spawn point off the tent

And it would be nice if it also has the power to access your personal inventory (like piggy bank, safe, etc.) when you Rclick the back of the tent, or you know, sleep on it?

and to complete the CAMPING vibes (maybe this is too much to ask) can we cook more foods over a campfire? (like smoked fish, roasted birds, and im already hungry )

There's already marshmallows in game but imma be real, its kind of a hassle to get for a food because its kind of region locked where you have to move merchant to snow to get it (but Im not complaining cuz there's a saying that "Finding Joy in life's little moments " and finding about marshmallows in game was kind of nice)

and speaking of preparing for bosses, can we craft some kind of combination decoration where we decorate a bask statue with sunflowers, heart lanterns, star in a bottle and a campfire as a lights, with peace and water candles to toggle between the two respective effects? because that would free up so much space in my inventory when Im creating an arena!

Anyways, I cant wait for the new updates!

These are pretty good ideas, you should probably make a suggestions thread for them! Sotgs are very active so posting your ideas in them is a good way to get them lost, and no one wants that.

Yea they keep adding more and more and have a another crossover planned on top of the still not released Dead Cells one.

You're talking about the Silksong crossover, right? So we should wait for that game to launch before the Terraria update, for maximum impact.

I love that Idea. Those ballons are my favourite, and I always wanted an upgrade for them. ( It would be a nice adding for 1.4.5.)
In addition to that, they are very rarely used (I think it is because they do not have their own upgrade).

this reminds me of one of the suggestions someone made to Chippy while he was CEO for two days, the oodle of balloons (sandstorm, blizzard, fart, lightning (that was a new idea) tsunami, and then cloud)

Silksong crossover...?... What?
No i'm talking about the image teasing possible Palworld crossover they posted some time ago.

Dear Relogic,

I can't wait for the update, but can I make a request? I absolutely love the mage class, so I almost always have my character wear the Wizard's Hat (the vanity item, not to be confused with the Wizard Hat, which is functional armor) alongside the Mana Cloak to go for a classic wizard look. Problem, though, is that the Wizard's Hat is purple and the Mana Cloak is blue.


The mismatched colors of what should otherwise be a matching set is a problem that has always bothered me, minor as it may be. And yes, I have tried fixing this using dyes, but it only ends up ruining the yellow patterns found on both items.

Reworking the way dyes function is probably too much work, so I would rather ask you to please add an alternative Blue Wizard's Hat! Perhaps have it be a Shimmer transformation of the original Wizard's Hat? Or a functional upgrade in the same vein as the harp sold by the Wizard? You have already added alternative colors for certain vanity sets before (graduation sets), so please, just a Blue Wizard's Hat, and my life is yours!(?)
