They can be if they're coming in from multiple sides, but having them all on one side usually means you can just mine in their direction and have your pickaxe knock them back. It won't work on a blood moon, however >_>

 

Not gonna deny they're annoying as hell regardless, but if mining it out is being troublesome, get some dynamite and blow it up. It's not like Minecraft TNT, it doesn't destroy blocks, just turns them into items so you can collect them all. A couple well placed sticks will generally knock out enough meteorite to stop meteor heads from spawning (they require 50 ore to be placed in order to spawn, I believe).

 

Personally, I just mine it out since I'm stingy. Trying to do so when the thing is underwater without an obsidian skull... well, that's fun >.>

Bit late to the party but I recently got this game. Been playing with a few people from the synch channel. It's fun to build with the other people but it's easy to get higher level stuff when you're playing with people who know what they're doing. And as for the bosses, well they're kind of pathetic, dying in a few seconds if all of us are attacking. Usually we wait for a blood moon and go to the corruption to fight like 3 or 4 at once, and I still haven't seen anyone die to them.

Multiplayer

- Fixed a problem with item syncing for newly connected players.

- There are now three types of traps that are generated underground. Watch your step!

- Placing and removing items during the placing animation will no longer destroy the item when it is collected.

- Fixed a bug that would cause graphical abnormalities when the lighting changes dramatically.

- The FPS display (F10) shows the correct number.

- Fixed a bug that swapped the lighting of players pants and head armor.

- Fixed a problem that would cause water to settle in strange positions.

- Fixed a problem that caused objects with transparency to appear darker than they should.

 

 

WOOHOO! Although it is a bit laggy/buggy, so for it looks promising :thumbsup:

 

The new, harder bosses look amazing, and the Wall of Flesh boss looks badass, and has a pretty funny way of summoning it as well (using the guide voodoo doll). Rocket boots and an Obsidian skull will be a must for fighting it.

Found 2 crystal hearts and 2 gold chests on the same screen. I was so excited I forgot to take a screenshot. I found another heart crystal and another 2 gold chests not very far from there. I got about 8 gold for maybe 20 minutes of exploring. Not bad for a complete newbie, if I do say so myself.

Bit late to really comment on the 1.1 update (although I will say playing through hardmode was extremely fun), but I did want to comment on the 1.1.1 Holiday update fast.

 

And before I say anything, link to the patch notes: http://www.terrariaonline.com/threads/terraria-1-1-1-christmas-update.70447/

 

Obviously, it was less of a content patch and more of a bugfix patch (although there's still some really nice Christmas themed stuff to play around with). The lag seems to be reduced by a bit - while I can't play in a maximised window on color lighting staying at 60FPS, I can at least stay on trippy lighting and have the quality of that up near 100% most of the time and maintain the usual 60FPS. A lot of the other fixes don't really apply to me (except them fixing wyverns, thank GOD for that -.-).

 

(Just a warning, spoilers ahead - although I doubt anyone reading this topic can be spoiled anyway)

 

The content part of the update, though... as long as you're updated to 1.1.1 and it's between now and the 31st (so I've heard, it lasts until the end of the 'holiday season'), all mobs can drop presents (even on old worlds, I got a number on my current hardmode world that was generated in 1.1). They can be obtained and opened regardless of if hardmode is enabled or not, but if hardmode isn't active yet, you can only get the candy cane blocks from them. You have to be in hardmode to get the snow globe from a present in order to summon the Frost Legion.

 

Snow globes are basically the Goblin Battle Standard for hardmode. Use it, causes a similar message to a goblin invasion (except it's the Frost Legion) to appear. It takes a minute or two to arrive, however.

 

Just a few notes about the mobs - they function as hardmode equivalents to the goblin army, so expect a beating if you get within range of their attacks. Mister Stabby I never had any issues with, since he has to get extremely close to do damage. Snowman Gangsta is the irritating one - it has a tommy gun, so expect these things to be shooting at you constantly. They seem to have a range similar to the gastropod, but they can't aim up, so you'll be safe hanging up above where they can jump and shoot across at you. Snow Balla I don't think does any damage with his projectiles correction, they do 35 damage with the snowball attack, and they can clog up the terrain fairly fast (making it easier for the others to gang up on you), so be cautious of that.

 

Overall, easy if you're cautious about maneuvering around them, but extremely dangerous if you get down too close to them - they all do 55 with melee if they ram into you, but thankfully the tommy gun and snowballs do a bit less.

 

I note that they also drop presents, so don't be surprised if you end up with more snow globes than you started with. I had one after opening about 40 presents with my girlfriend on our server, we used that and ended up with two more snow globes afterwards. Saving them for our new world so we can get some snow easily there + get the Santa Claus NPC to move in on that world (he sells the Santa vanity outfit as well as Christmas lights). And yes, you can create artificial snow biomes fairly easily with snow blocks - very low number it seems, considering the Snow Balla's projectiles were enough to cause some very faint snowing effects during the Legion fight.
