Terraria State of the Game - March 2019

I have never understood the desire to play alpha/beta versions. Why would you want to play an unfinished buggy version? And why the expectation that a developer would release one? A movie company wouldn't release a "beta" film, and a car manufacturer wouldn't release "beta" versions of their latest model.

Beta releases can make developers work more difficult, in my experience. People invariably forget that they are playing an incomplete buggy version, and when things are not as they expect. They game gets judged before its even finished. Everyone has a their own view on the game (which is in a state that was never meant to be played) and all those views and opinions end up muddying the water, making it hard to sift out the real issues.

I can understand release candidates, as those are functionally complete and in a state that the developers consider ready to release. RCs can help with testing on a larger scale.

I guess for me it's a matter of professional pride. If I'm not happy with the state of something I have coded, why would I want to release it knowing everyone else is going to be unhappy with it?

 

Cant wait. played mobile for years and when i didn't play for a while i would run to the dungeon to see if the cultists were at the dugeon. well finally they will be in mobile. MOON LORD ON MOBILE. geez, good job

 

Ive had the game since around when it first came out on mobile. I know that its been atleast 3 years, almost 4. The reason switch is coming before mobile is because mobile players will just update, not buy a new game. Switch players have to buy it.

Its never been confirmed more than 6 months anywhere and i dont even think it will be that long, considering how far it is and has gotten in the time we've waited.
A beta isnt a very good idea, and should really only be used for finding glitches and other stuff to fix.

 

Let's hope that they'd release the mobile terraria later this march or in early april. :> ❤

 

I seriously doubt that generating more sales is the main driving force behind releasing on Switch first. More likely the Switch version is just simpler to port compared to mobile. ReLogic has been releasing completely free updates to Terraria for 8 years now without a single DLC purchase or microtransaction in sight. If there was any company I am confident is not driven by rampant greed it's ReLogic.

As far as mobile 1.3 coming in the next few months, Loki just stated that it's not even in a beta state yet. I think 6 months is a minimum estimate with that information. Still, I have no better insight than you do really.

 

So, random question, but wasn't really sure where to ask, but I figured here was good enough, sorry if it's not allowed, but I'll be quick:

Do the stats (hours played, resources gathered, bosses defeated) transfer over from one system to another? Like if I had transferred my stuff from the 360 over to the Xbox 1, would all of that stat info transfer with it?

I'm mostly asking because I have someone who INSISTS their data has carried over, yet my friend just got an xbone and their data, nor did mine, did not transfer over. Their character and world transferred just fine, but not their "stats".

Can anyone clear this up for me?
Sorry if this was the wrong platform to ask this. Thanks in advance.

 

The more wiring system for console would be very helpful and I'm really excited to see it in action once its released.
Keep up the amazing work, your hard work deserves praise

 

Hey I found a bug in Terraria mobile where you can pass through wood blocks.
I have a video I'd like you to look at to see the bug.

 

The game is being re-coded. This will be fixed along with all other bugs. Its not a very insane bug as you need to have a specific setup for it to work.

 

Soy nuevo :'D y estoy esperando la actualización de la 1.3 en moviles :'3 estoy ansioso espero que la saquen pronto

 

I can’t wait till 1.3 update comes out on mobile, it’s been 2 years

 

I believe the bug you experienced is just a simple matter of accidental hoiking or something similar, I had one once.

 

Will 1.3.1 fix the crawltipede and basilisk banners, or the five unobtainable paintings in the dungeon?

 

Nice Ui for mobile can't wait for mobile update. I pray it is this year

Crud about the paintings... Won't be getting them for another several years then.

 

Can't wait for the update to come out for the PS4

 

If only 3Ds was still active.. rip.
