There is no need to change it. The current icon serves its purpose well and current discussion elevates transphobic voices while taking away focus from other, more important discussions. Either do a community poll to determine the next icon or ban people wasting time arguing over this. Please.

(on a different note, question flair might be nice)

i heard the reason its still here is cause of the mods saying 'its gonna stay for one month each time someone complains' but can someone just like, give me the entire history of what happened, im curious

I have the fleshcatcher rod and I'm using decent bait but I feel like I cant figure out the actual mechanic of fishing? A fish bites and I wait a few seconds and then click and the fish almost always gets away. But if I wait any longer, the fish stops biting. Am I just stupid or is there something I'm missing because it's sooo frustrating.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do so here's my icon suggestion 🌳

Peace ✌️

I am a new player, in any games I played save and exit never reseted my position. Is it normal that when ever I log in back to world I start from where I started for the first time? All of my items are still kept in my inventory still, but it feels odd. If this is a bug, how can i fix it?

I really wanna play Terraria in PC I finished it in mobile but I'm broke can I play it with family sharing

I CAN'T KILL EVEN THE "EASIEST" BOSSES IN HARDMODE. I've upgraded everything: weapons, armor, arena, reforging, accessories, potions. EVERYTHING. But nothing works, I can't progress. Someone, for the love of God, help me, or I'll give up and live forever in pre-hardmode.

I was going to the ocean because i wanted to go fish, and when i got there it turned night and this happened. I kind of got scared because im just a little scaredy cat so im not gonna play until i get an answer. uh oh

I recently just finished a master mode play through to see all the 1.4.5 changes (I know I'm a little late) and then also finished a legendary mode play through on the zenith secret seed, and its frankly absurd just how OP mounts are.

I quite literally never used any mobility accessories in either play through other than a grapple hook and a cloud in a bottle. I had the materials to make terraspark boots in prehardmode in both play-throughs, but I literally didn't bother because having a mount was just better and I could just use an extra defensive of offensive accessory instead. I did not make a single set of wings because I never needed to.

In prehardmode: Roller skates are faster than hermes boots and can be used on minecart tracks.
Meanwhile the chillet mount gives you an insanely good dash with a bunch of iframes that doesn't even bounce off enemies like the should of cthulhu does, runs even faster than roller skates, and greatly reduces fall damage taken.

Then in hardmode (on master mode+), the black spot from pirate invasions is super easy to get and gives you infinite flight. Even with its nerfs, its still obscenely strong just because its comparable/better than a lot of the wings you can get at the time and it frees up multiple accessory slots for more defensive and offensive accessories. The other infinite flight mounts are at least only obtained much later in the game (witch's broom from pumpkin moon, ufo from martians, and cute fishron from duke fishon.) Duke fishron can technically be completed at the start of hardmode like the pirates can be, but he can't be easily beaten with prehardmode weapons.

These mounts functionally give you the benefits of a mine cart arena (high mobility and free accessory slots) without the actual cost of proper mine cart arena building or the extremely slow acceleration and deceleration.

I feel the "healthiest" designed mounts are the ones like the dark mage tome, the honey googles, or the slime mount in pre-hardmode, where they give you access to a great mobility tool, but the mount alone is not enough to fulfill your mobility needs (especially for bosses or events). Or the hardmode infinite flight transformation mounts (faerie and bat mount) that grant you access to extremely good mobility for exploration or dodging, but prevent you from doing anything else (requiring that you still have some mobility without them), but they are both unfortunately post mech boss and are rare drops, meaning they won't be useful by the time you get them.

I would like it if there there were more (good) mounts like the santank that offered real offensive utility, then there would at least be a real opportunity cost to equipping a mobility mount. Or if more movement accessories stacked/worked alongside with mobility mounts, that way I could at least get both. Also break the black spots legs some more. Its still too strong.

Hello! Im just getting back into the game and I'm looking to see if there's any mods that let you play as a monkey? Even if all it does is add a tail to your character I would really love to play as a monkey. I haven't been having any success in my searches but I've also never frequented the modding scene so I'm not familiar with many mods.

I’ve never really put effort into building before so let me know if there are things that would look better!! I’m pretty early game so I don’t have anything from the traveling merchant.

So in my forever world (currently pre wof) i have planned to create builds throughout the world as a little side project. Now my problem lays in this old crimson heart thingy. I dont know what to make with it and i also dont feel like just destroying it all and then having to fill the whole it makes.

i have recently started playing terraria's for the worthy about a week ago, not too long after i beat master mode terraria which i found fun, even if a few moments were personally quite annoying. my favorite playthrough of the game ever, so i wanted to try and do terraria's next challenge in difficulty because i love the game. so i start the world and i *mostly* enjoy it so far, i haven't entered hardmode yet... this is the reason i'm making this entire wall of text.

the wall of flesh on FTW (in my opinion) is just unpleasant, unfair, unfun, unbalanced, unacceptable, unfathomably bad designed nonsense. seriously, you're telling me that the absolute worst designed boss i've ever come across happens to be in terraria, by fucking relogic?! of course this can be because FTW is still a new thing to me; i could eventually not have much struggle with FTW WOF in future time. but talking now out of pure frustration and aggravated confusion, "oh yeah, to make WOF more difficult within our great designed game, let's completely ruin him by turning it into poor excuse boss being a bunch of enemy spam, while we're at it, let's just serve big buffs to the spammed enemies too! the players will absolutely LOVE fighting WOF on legendary difficulty now!" what were they thinking???

i'm not being a moron to clear things up, i am getting the absolute best gear possible, every single potion to exist including using red's potions for a few extra buffs to help with the fight. i have demon campfires & demon torches everywhere to increase torch luck + hp regen, also affected with as many heart lanterns as i could create and collect by heart crystals i've mined or collected by fishing countless times. i've got star jars to increase mana regeneration, i've placed banners including imp banners, i have warding on ALL my items including worm scarf, i even have sunflowers and peace candles to maybe and hopefully do something to help in the fight... and yet despite ALL THIS, i still lose. i still fail because there are WAY TOO MANY BUFFED IMPS BEING SPAMMED FIRING FIRE BALLS EVERY SECOND.

i have 100%'d games like mewgenics, which has a shit ton of flaws in the game despite being a good and fun game, such as certain champion buffs which often feel unbearable to fight against or just entire bosses, specific gimmicks, enemies & specific arenas that feel unfair, especially in the game's highest difficulty. and it's absurd that despite how bad i thought these flaws within mewgenics were, i don't think i ever found these are horrendous as what terraria did for WOF on legendary mode.

to shorten all this: terraria is of course 1 of my favorite games, but even what i could call the best game ever will never be immune to bad design and bullshit. every game's always going to have bullshit and bad design slip in some way and somehow, whether your own personal disliking towards something or so something bad it becomes the common opinion in a whole community, but terraria's bullshit in form of an endless enemy spamming boss is so bad, it's 1 of the worst i've seen of ANY game i've ever played, and i hope this can give the idea of how truly bad legendary mode WOF is... i love terraria, but man this boss sure is a stinker straight out my toilet when i am well fed.

Comparing the two, how many hours do you spend on each?

I spent so long not realizing that I could shimmer the 12 blindfolds I had, and after I had gotten the ankh shield from shimmering I ran down to grab some pearlstone for my farm and whaddya god damn know I see that lying on the ground

*Warding used on both types of builds*

Mage x Summoner is better and more fun than Normal mage. I do these types of builds almost every playthrough!

theres no good reason for using this, but you should anyway

terraria. tools doenst work idk why

i summoned the mechanical eye and 40k hp

looks too much for me rn . idk where to go or what to do . especially to get stronger .if anyone got a suggestion of my next move i'm all ears

The most obvious change (for me at least) is just making Golem's arena the same or similar every world, so it isn't either huge or tiny, as well as being mostly flat and wider.

I think Golem's attacks should get faster the higher a player is above it (you get a certain amount of blocks you can be above it while not triggering the attack speed increase), so its much harder to simply hug the ceiling and mostly negate Golem's body once the head detaches. If you're above it, Golem's lasers should also gain a slight spread meaning running back and forth doesn't dodge them 95% of the time.

And in the second phase, I think Golem's body should slam down on you (increased gravity) if its directly above a player as well as having a small AOE that sends the player upward as well as inflicting some kind of slow effect upon landing, but still dodgable if you have movement accessories or have a dash.

I feel like incentivising the player to stay near the ground would make Golem's fight more fun, as well as actually difficult.

also these (except the arena change) should only apply in expert and above, and an effect of a secret seed could maybe make Golem's room much smaller.

ive never made anything like this before so some of this probably wouldnt work very well with Terraria's gameplay style if it was in the game

Been taking my time with this playthrough, I've played so much terraria but always built box houses and rushed through the game so I'm taking my time min-maxing everything as ranger and slowly going through pre-hardmode. Here's a progression of my base pic and an inventory picture.

I know it might not be crazy but I'm super proud of it as I just went off my own instinct and feel proud about it. Let me know what you guys think and I'll take suggestions.
