What happened to the vanity contest ?
The contest winners’ vanity items will be included in the 1.4.1 update. The first post mentions, “...we are starting to dip our toes into elements of the 1.4.1 update. As a reminder, this will contain the Vanity Contest winners...”

2020 doesn't leave much room for such a thing.

with all the delays and people needing to work remotely, not to mention the situation only getting worse...

i wouldn't expect 1.4 to arrive until next year, if we're lucky.
real optimistic, aren't you?

It's often better to be a bit pessimistic than too optimistic (although there are limits to everything). Less heartache that way. Of course, it's even better to be a realist. Then you acknowledge that there are things out of your control. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

It seems Pipeworks haven't started on 1.4 yet. That's understandable since they still got things on their plate to digest. The performance issues for one thing. And Re-Logic are still working fixing bugs and adding the vanity contest stuff, so it might be better for them to wait until that's done. So currently it's not possible to give an estimate when 1.4 will arrive on console.

DR on the other hand didn't have anything left on their plate and were hungry for more, so they have started working on 1.4. They might also have a less thorny path to travel. Both Pipeworks and DR uses the pc source code in their ports. That code is not complete however. On pc both the XNA and .NET frameworks are needed. These frameworks doesn't exist on other platforms. On mobile there are alternative frameworks available that are more or less equivalent, but on console there aren't any alternatives. Pipeworks had to build something themselves, and they did that with Unity (another framework). In hindsight that might not have been the best solution, but it's what we have now.
 
1.4 is gonna be cool and mobile will be better

I'm not being too optimistic. I'm just hoping it comes out by the end of the year. Is that really too much to ask?

It's fine to hope for that. It's what I myself was hoping earlier (though now I'm not so sure). Just don't act on it as if it's set in stone. Then you might get disappointed.
 
im not.

from my experience, optimism deludes people... it's essentially a form of denial.

it blinds you to the reality in front of you, so... yeah, i tend to stay away from optimism.

you must be fun at parties..

i don't go to parties.

i also don't socialize much because most people aren't worth the time or effort.

the world is too far gone, but i'll keep that stuff out of this topic since that discussion doesn't belong here.

you're trying too hard to look cool/edgy.
 
Let's stay on topic, yeah
 
Still no mention directly of splitscreen on switch. :(

There are two paragraphs discussing Switch splitscreen in the first post. It may it be the news everyone is hoping for, but it was directly mentioned. Perhaps you missed it?

Are we ever going to get Vol. 2 of the soundtrack on Apple Music? The only songs available right now are Vol. 1 and Vol. 3, which makes it impossible to listen to a lot of the 1.2 and 1.4 songs on this platform.
I thought the vol 2 was out, idk might be because I always check on my iPad
 
There are 25 tracks in the Terraria: Otherworld album, but 27 Otherworldly Music Boxes in game...
