💥 TRENDING: Groups/TerrariaOnlineOfficial/announcements - High Quality

Terraria is soon expecting another large update. Not only there will be many fixes and tweaks to existing mechanics, but there will also be a few new features added to the game.

We're not going to spoil it for you, but lets just say a new boss, new mobs, and even new items are on the way!

There will also now be a server crash log. This should help find the cause of any crashes that may happen, and help hosters make an even more stable server and client environment.

Player
Players can no longer repeatedly double jump after touching the top of the world.

Items
NEW ITEM - Black Lens.
NEW ITEM - Sunglasses.
NEW ITEM - Jungle Armor (This has replaced Cobalt Armor.)

Clients are now able to connect to ports other than 7777.

So, it's probably not going to be a surprise to say that when PVP was added, we all stopped adventuring for a few days just to run around and pwn eachother. Originaly PVP was set to always be on if the attacker had it on, regardless of the defenders settings. No one could hide from it, so of course, I died a lot, as PVP is not really my forte'. But this brought rise to the idea of PVP having many more features, and also Terraria having so many game mode possibilities. Pure PVP worlds, and things like Capture the Flag, Defend the Base, came into our sights. With the dedicated server software coming out soon, possibly within a day or two, we are taking steps towards more streamlined multiplayer that may allow for customization of worlds to be PVP only, and the like. So the ideas, we had during the construction of Terraria, may still yet come to fruition. PVP and Game modes are on the horizon, and will most likely see the light of day within the next few months. So you may be seeing custom death messages like "Blue was killed by Redigit!" start showing up in your chat, in stead of that generic "was slain" message, sooner than you think.

A few months ago, before our composer had been able to craft any music for the game, there was a discussion on ambient sounds; crickets, birds chirping, water drips and rock rumbles underground. A few of us would still like to have an option for such things, as anyone turning their music to zero can leave for a very quiet adventure. This may have even made it into the game if we had not released early to meet the hype for the game head-on. But in the end, we are very happy with our games music, and 9 out of 10 reviewers seem to agree. Although I did see a few reviews that list "Sound/Audio" as Terraria's weak-point. So who knows, perhaps in the coming months, the games sound will become more immerse.
